After several years, the powers that be at IMDb have finally decided to call time on their message boards. In this meerkat’s view, this is long overdue. These forums have long been a hotbed of racist, bigoted, misogynistic posts, and meaningful discussion has been a hopeless dream. I will admit to a certain sense of […]
With less than a month till I get my paws on the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild (many thanks to my mum for helping to make this happen!), it is fair to say I am excited. This is the end of a journey that Nintendo set me on a few years ago, when […]
