    When Hiring A Millennial, Think About These Things

    RE: Hiring The Cultural Creative – What Other Motivations? Being part of the often-tagged ‘Millenial’ generation, more often than not we are told that we have extremely low attention spans, show little workplace loyalty, we are aesthetically and therefore (logic-falsely) materialistically driven; and are harder to keep within a market segment as we are constantly…

    2014 Was The Year of Kick-Ass Women In Film

    2014 Was The Year of Kick-Ass Women In Film. And generally since the 70s; more and more female characters are driving mainstream movie narratives beyond the noir genre, thoroughly smashing the filters of the Bechdel Test. In a throughly equivocal order numbered only for convenience, find below proof that for women, being badass this year, was…

    Before + After Pics Are Harmful. Stop Adding To Them.

Red circles drawn around cellulite: the lifeblood of Heat magazine for years. Before and After Culture is toxic to self worth Or worse – you print page after page of the dreaded before-and-after…

    Retro Magazine for Games Smashes Kickstarter Goal

    Who says Print is Dead? Although, I did say print isn’t dead, but it would become patronage… Anyway, always nice when Kickstarter can keep the dream alive, there’s been far too much press lately about Kickstarter not ‘doing enough’ for artists.

    Oh no! Renee Zellwegger Aged Because She Got Older.

    I wish the Daily Mail would calm the fuck down. “OH GOD IT’S LIKE SHE HAS A DIFFERENT FACE!!!!” becries almost every syndicated blog ever in the last 6 hours. In a wave of credible journalism everywhere, the Western world has decided to go shitbonkers for the fact that R-Zellz opted to go for the old…

    Octopus City Blues: Yes, it’s a Mobile Game. Yes, it’s good!

    The demo is ready. While the game’s studio website is either a hilarious pisstake of every corporate ‘end-to-end’ BS site ever made, or just *a little* creepy…who cares. I just read this completely ridiculous and very surreal dystopian world game-bio: “In a world undergoing an unnatural ice age, the last human survivors are densely packed in…

    New concept art from Pixelbomb Games revealed iconic Manchester Building

    The building is immediately prevalent no matter where you are in Manchester – it’s a glittering shard in the distance that presides over the traditionally industrial, democratic city.
