Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom is the next movie in the Jurassic series following on from 2015’s Jurassic World.

Vogue. Internationally renowned magazine, that has featured the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna and many more. Or a relatively small-time nightclub in Lancashire, Burnley. The club owners have been contacted by the magazine, telling them to change the name, or face a lawsuit. The owners, Rebecca and Jason McQuiod, told the radio station […]

As many of you will know, Black Friday is tomorrow, an annual occasion where we all collectively lose our minds over a TV that’s half of what it should normally cost, then get home and realise you have nowhere to put it. In the UK, Black Friday is something of a British wonder. It’s a […]

Saw that coming. According to the Belgian news site RTBF, Belgians Gaming Commission has been investigating the growing prevalence of loot boxes in video games.

Could I possibly make a suggestion? If you’re out in public and happen to see an attractive person or whatever, could you just, not say anything? Not matter what? Even if it’s not sexual. Even if you know it wouldn’t make them uncomfortable, just don’t? Smile and say hello then move on with your life? […]

This will be the last chart update of November considering yours truly is off adventuring next week. So, let’s have a look, shall we? Starting with movies it’s obvious who’s up top this week.

NSFW? I guess? Creator of ludicrous characters such as Borat and Bruno has offered to pay the fines pressed against six Czech tourists who were arrested in Kazakhstan for wearing nothing but Borat inspired mankinis. I love every single thing about this story. About a week ago, local media reported that the tourists had been […]

We know Harrison Ford for many things. For his iconic role as Han Solo, to Deckard in Blade Runner. He’s an action hero that never seems to grow tiresome. Even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was okay, watching Indiana kicking the snot out of anyone is fun. But, recently, the star was in the news […]

Battlefront 2 is the center of a few discussions right now. The main one being the whole loot box fad coming to a point, so much so that EA has suspended the use of its additional monetizing while it figures out how to make a complete game. Many impressionist videos and reviews have noted the […]

Everyone is now familiar with the locations, the best hiding spots and where to get the best loot. However, that is soon to change, we know that the next map will be desert themed, filled with ruins, a […]

Straight up, The Punisher is probably my favourite Marvel Netflix series yet. It’s a thriller-esc, action-oriented drama to put it one way. It’s a massive step above the most recent series, The Defenders, with better characters, cooler set-pieces and an overall better story. For those who don’t know, The Punisher revolves around Frank Castle, out […]

In case you missed it, last week, the Australian public voted in favour of same-sex marriage in a historic poll.

If you needed any more proof as to whether the guy is a tool or not, this may be it.

Going on from this, he then appears to be […]

If there were ever a company I would hold up like Simba at the start of The Lion King, it would most certainly be CD Projekt Red. Their track record of stellar games is something to be commended, being one of the few publishers, fortunately, to keep their games apart from the most recent ‘games-as-a-service’ […]

Warner Bros latest release Justice League failed to reach its predicted earnings this weekend after it opened worldwide on Friday.

Okay, this is some next level nerd stuff, so you might wanna go forth with caution. Boston Dynamics has managed to create a robot that can do flips. I’m talking sick backflips, front flips, cool parkour jumps, you name it. This just paves the way for these robots to become smarter and apparently more athletic […]

A German regulator has banned the sale of smartwatches aimed at children, calling them spying devices.

It’s not often I chat about food. Which is odd, I spend 90% of my workday eating. Whether it’s snacking on Cheddars, or munching down a Dominos for lunch. But few things ever compare to my favourite food. This magnificent cylinder of flavour is the perfect meal. Here’s why. It contains most of the food […]

…To respect women enough to call out when they’re getting mistreated at one of his own gigs.

A rail company in Japan has apologised for a train being 20 seconds early when departing the platform.

The famous bakers, Greggs, has apologised for swapping out the baby Jesus for a sausage roll in a promotional image for its advent calendar. The offending image shows the three wise men gathered around a tasty sausage roll, instead of Jesus. Twitter users said it was disrespectful to their religion. I, however, think it’s hilarious. […]

We see guns, explosions, and our favourite […]

The team responsible for the friendship ruiner that is Cards Against Humanity have done it.

One thing people don’t realise is how tiny Earth is, in comparison to the rest of our known universe. Even our neighbouring planets dwarf us when compared side by side.
