ادامه مطلبThe Transportation Security Administration in the US has ea ed a pretty bad rap for spending gobs of money on a simple app, getting mad at teenagers and gawking at naked passengers.

Interestingly, apps like KakaoTalk are really only popular in South Ko...

ادامه مطلبThis year marks the 10th anniversary of the Angry Video Game Nerd, a character created by filmmaker James Rolfe who's considered to be one of the grand daddies of the web's video game comedy community. That's right. The age of 10 is considered elderly by Inte et standards. Rolfe shot 139 episodes of his classic video game comedy series on YouTube and for sites like ScrewAttack and the now-defunct GameTrailers. He also made a feature length film for the character called "Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie". That means that he's got a lot of stuff like props, artwork, old scripts, storyboards and other items that tend to pile up when you're shooting a web series with an eye for production value and homemade special effects. Rolfe released a video (that has one tiny NSFW moment in it...
