Having watched the first two episodes of the new Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, I have to say, it’s every bit the equal of its predecessor, There’s the obligatory mix of intrigue, politicking, house rivalries, gratuitous sex & nudity, blood, gore, wine drinking and of course dragons, we’ve come to expect...

Since the advent of the digital music revolution, one platform for its distribution has reigned supreme as the juggernaut for buying and downloading new music, old music from years & decades gone by, and that has been iTunes.

This episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine stands as the magnum opus of the series. I dare say, it is also among the two or three best things ever aired in Star Trek canon. Reason being, it completely flies in the face of Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the utopia that is humanity, wherein...

To say that Final Fantasy VI is the greatest RPG game ever released is a massive understatement. Fans and critics alike consider it the high-water mark for RPG games.

Having played video games for most of my life, and a wide range of them, I feel like I’ve seen my fair share of great games, crap games, games that showed promise but just fell flat, and everything in between. World of Warcraft, without question, has been the juggernaut of MMO gaming since its...
