Game of Frowns
The last season of Game of Thrones has been getting a Dothraki hoard of complaints about it from fans and critics alike, even spawning a petition to have the season remade that's gathering number like the Night King's army. So what are the issues hounding the series, or are people making the Mountain out of a mole hill?

Only a Phone Camera Shot Unfortunately Top Story - January 2019
Photographers can take as narrow a view of things as some lens do. It's a common sight to see in photography groups on social media of someone posting an image and then saying "only a phone camera shot" like it's an excuse for any perceived faults with the shot. Nowhere else would you see a professional showing their work and then saying, "It was only a less advanced tool I used, so you can't judge me for the finished result." No professional musician ever said it was a keyboard instead of a grand piano so it's ok to miss notes or mess-up the timing, so why do photographers have this attitude?

Name: John. Class: Travel Photographer/Marksman
Nothing I like more than capturing a beautiful sunset or sunrise or a sprawling vista with some interesting feature (no really I do, check out my instagram johnharrisonmedia) sometimes its on a lovely island, or up on a hill or just a round the town I'm visiting and sometimes theres a huge alien monolith shooting energy beams into the sky or a dragon in the distance.

Choose Your Own Adventure
Since the first days of choose your own adventure gamebooks back in the late 1980s, people have loved being given a choice in their gaming experience. From simple turn left or right, pick something up or leave it or run or fight decisions, to more complex moral questions like buy or steal, free or enslave a person or even disarm a nuke or vaporise an entire town (that one will sound familiar to many a gamer) it seems being given choices in a game helps make the experience more enjoyable. But is it something more than that?

'Looks Photoshopped'Top Story - April 2018
"Looks Photoshopped." Two words you see every day on social media (if you frequent any pages or groups that encourage photo sharing). Two words that annoy the hell out of me and probably any photographers/artists/graphic designers who sees them. It's such a nondescript, passive aggressive attack on someone's work and it does nothing but flag up the commenter's inability to understand or constructively address something that is beyond their capability.

Extra Life for Some Old Games
L + Down, R + C-Right, R + C-Up, L + Right, L + C-Down, R + C-Up, L + Right, R + Down, L + Left, L + R + C-Right. I still remember the code for invincibility on Goldeneye for the N64, not the most useful thing to remember anymore but it might be soon enough.

Freedom of Tweets...
Reading the news (via a news outlet or social media) over the last few days, there are a few social media related stories that pop out at you. One constant feature of the news these days is US president Donald Trump and his ongoing issue with his social media activity. When he's not inventing new words or re-tweeting extremist propaganda, he's tweeting statements that may end his presidential career. By tweeting “I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!” he's pretty much stating he knew about Flynn's actions and therefore is subject to obstruction of justice charges. It's all very political and highly charged at the moment and pro or anti-Trump, it just highlights an element of the issues with social media, blogging, and vlogging; there are ramifications to whatever you post online.

Under the Influence
One the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...a Zoella Advent calendar. On the second day of Christmas I took it back and complained. This isn't my story but its certainly going to be a few peoples experience this year, and calls to question if the top influencers on Youtube are really giving off the right influences.
