Gearing Up Your Reading Experience

I often find people uninterested in reading. And if I do find fellow readers, I often hear complaints about reading issues, mentioning that they could read for hours during younger years. This might be a sign that you think it’s a chore and reading inefficiently, and I hope to help you overcome that.

Music in a Nutshell

Ting, tok, tung, bakaww, wheeeu, *insert various other noises* – all just tools for music. However, it sounds like a disaster in a barn

The fault in our Goodreads reviews

Take a moment to pick a book, preferably in English. Then, search “*name of your book* review” on Google. One of the very first things you'll see are the ratings on a website called “Goodreads”, the Facebook of books.

The “Ember” that's a bonfire

Sixteen years have passed since the release of “Saturate”, and like aged wine, Breaking Benjamin's music has matured beautifully. That notion is quite obvious as soon as you listen to the album that came out this year on April 13: Ember.

The beauty of football fouls

Goals are a work of art. The blood, sweat and tears that go into them really give them a whole new beauty. However, in this World Cup, I had found beauty in something else: football fouls. You see, goals still maintain a linear procedure: shoot, score, cheer. But fouls? They're ever-changing. Goals may be art, but fouls are life.

Coco: The movie that made me go loco

Music is a focal point of this movie, so the first thing I'd like to comment on is the incredible soundtrack. It's catchy as hell, well-composed, and meshes in with the movie beautifully. It even assists with the story progression both subtly and openly. In fact, it's so good that “Remember Me”, which is a song that is played frequently in various different scenarios in the

An infinite number of games

You've got two choices at hand. Choice number one is to go on the app store and spend hours and hours looking for games, painstakingly waiting for them to download (especially if you've got slow internet), trying them out and then sighing in possible frustration when you realise this isn't really that fun. Choice number two is to download “Bored Button”, an app with a possibly infinite number of arcade games, for free.

Colourful 2D Racing

Let me just first mention that I have a strong dislike for repetitive games where your only goal is to beat your own high score. However, it's with games like “Data Wing” that I make an exception.

The stages of reading fanfiction

Fanfiction is a… difficult thing, to say the least, in terms of all the things you could feel while reading it. We've all been there (well, I HOPE we've all been there or this is woefully inaccurate)

The Audio Alternative

Finding a genuinely good free music player is annoyingly difficult for music aficionados. This is where JetAudio comes to the rescue.

All the strange things walk into a teashop...

These are the first words you see when you start watching this surprisingly unconventional show. If you tell me it doesn't immediately pique your interest, you're basically Pinocchio.

Types of Rickshawalas

This piece of work is in no way a slight to the image of rickshawalas. Regardless of what I tell you, without them, Bangladesh wouldn't be Bangladesh.

Was, Is, Will Be

My name is Tepners and here I'd been standing with two rather strange bedfellows, origins of our appearance in this room unknown.

How you're helping out the wrong way

Helping other people out regardless of what detrimental effects it could have on themselves is second-nature for some people.

A guide to becoming a ludo pro

In my experience, ludo matches are filled with screeching. This is a surefire way of causing confusion in the game and may allow you to prep for the next few tips I'm about to reveal to you.

Cinematic Rock

Progressive rock or progressive metal is either mediocre cacophonies of technical gibberish, or moments when all the stars align to produce the most mind-blowing bands. Thankfully, Earthside is a part of the latter.

Untimely Existential Crises

Human emotions are similar to the weather. Sometimes it'll be sunny, sometimes it'll be rainy, sometimes it'll be snowing and then you start wondering why the sky is blue, what the origin of the colour blue is and why Nolan finished Inception on a never-ending cliffhanger (thank you for the countless sleepless nights afterwards).

Being overly honest

The irony is that the saying 'honesty is the best policy' is a lie in itself. A more accurate saying would be 'honestly is the best policy only during opportune circumstances in which it is required'.

Unforgettable Life Lessons

Life lasts for a long, long time. As you stumble along the great road before you, you'll experience uncountable moments of joy and turmoil. As we grow, we'll relax in the highs, but during the lows?

Blue Light Filter – Night Mode

At this point, it's more or less common knowledge that long-term exposure to the light from your phone, laptop, TV, etc. strains the eyes and this is due to the emission of blue light from these sources.

A guide to bad decision-making

Human beings are, in general, probably subconsciously masochistic.

The Groundwork of Overthinking

Overthinking - taking something normal and then casually warping it into something much bigger than what you initially had.

Difficulties of Being the Counsellor Friend

You know what sucks? Vacuum cleaners. You know what else sucks? Being counsellor-zoned.

Why Your Relationship Isn't Working Out

Making your relationship work out is a tough job. The truth is, whether it's a relationship with a boy or a girl or any of the other genders, every relationship has problems. Sadly, nothing is as perfect as a relationship with your kolbalish.
