The Best Christmas Traditions from All over the World

Since we’re getting closer and closer to the big day, I thought in today’s article I could discuss different Christmas traditions from all over the world. Usually, we’re so wrapped up in our own lives and what we’re doing on Christmas that we forget everyone celebrates it in their own way and has different ways of doing so. Some of these traditions are really interesting and maybe for Christmas 2018 (as if we can all think that far ahead), you should consider visiting a different place. GHANA People in Ghana celebrate Christmas from the 20th of December to the first week in January with lots of different activities. Christmas Eve […]

Last month, the new EU rules of “Roam Like At Home” officially began. But are Irish citizens aware of this, and most importantly, do they know about the new rules? Well, according to a research conducted by bonkers.ie, the answer is no. Approximately 61% of consumers are still unsure how the change will affect their data usage while traveling the EU this summer. Quite honestly, they can’t be blamed as the campaigns regarding this subject have led many people to believe they won’t have to pay for any fees. This isn’t the case at all and we have all of the facts on why the change was brought about, how […]

The Biggest Game Releases of 2017: Part 1

The first six months of the year have been glorious for console gamers as they were treated to some huge game releases across a wide variety of genres. RPG fans, in particular, had an excellent first half of 2017 with the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, Nioh and Persona 5. May and June saw the release of two fighting games from two hugely popular franchises – Injustice 2 (sequel of Injustice Gods Among us, a title which inspired a very successful series of comic books from DC comics) and Tekken 7. And fans of the seemingly timeless survival horror series, Resident Evil, enjoyed the release of Resident Evil 7 (and a return to […]

The Biggest Movie Releases Still To Come This Summer

Every summer, Hollywood releases its mainstream blockbuster titles. Competition has been pretty tough so far this year, with releases covering a wide range of genres.

Guy Ritchie gave us his fantasy epic King Arthur – Legend of the Sword, the Alien space horror franchise resurfaced with Covenant and Pirates of the Caribbean had its first cinematic release in 6 years with Dead Men Tell No Tales. A lot of roles being reprised, maybe none as recognisable as the characters of the hugely popular 80s TV series, Baywatch, sadly The Hoff wasn’t given […]
