The true life and real sadness of being a Frank Ocean fan!

Being a Frank Ocean fan in 2016 is not about being frustrated; it’s about being a frustration meme. Have you expressed your annoyance that he hasn’t released anything new yet? If not, are you really a fan? Waiting for Frank Ocean has become the new listening to Frank Ocean.

Natalie's Inspiration

Meet up:

James Gunn on Hollywood and the success of the “Deadpool” movie

So, over the next few months, if you pay attention to the trades, you'll see Hollywood misunderstanding the lesson they should be learning with Deadpool. They'll be green lighting films "like Deadpool" - but, by that, they won't mean "good and original" but "a raunchy superhero film" or "it breaks the fourth wall." They'll treat you like you're stupid, which is the one thing Deadpool didn't do.

James Gunn, director of the phenomenal Guardians of the Galaxy, is spot-on! And this is guaranteed!

The Search for the Killer Bot

Outside of games, we spend the vast majority of our time in apps built by Facebook and Google.

The future for indie devs on mobile is uncertain at this point in time!

 

“My year as a filthy casual Destiny player”

The Taken King works surprisingly well as a single-player game — especially if you have a few friends playing once or twice a week who don’t mind running quests again and keeping their mouths shut about what happens next. I didn’t rush to figure out how

I absolutely agree: my PSN Friends are either way ahead or don’t even play Destiny so I’m on my own most of the time and it just works. Really freaking well!

It’s not exactly the most serious game, but it’s very enjoyable to give it a bit of time throughout the week to slowly, but surely, improve your character.

That’s also how I felt playing through Diablo at my own pace, binging every couple of weeks/months or so.

 

Introducing: the All-New Digital Digest Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Digital Digest podcast version 2.0.

Back in 2015, I wanted to experiment with audio and with podcasts. I started recording podcasts on my own time, focusing on the tech news cycle. Very soon I was spending a few hours per week recording and editing up to 23 episodes on a weekly basis. Then I decided to go on a hiatus. This coincided with a new job I’ve started, and then by moving abroad, leaving England (and Brighton) for good.

However during this time, my community of listeners grew, I stayed losing my focus and becoming aware of different problems and shortcomings. Amongst which were these :

  1. **The tech news cycle is too fast. ** Adjusting to the news and taking the time to explain it was my primary focus, but in reality I couldn't dedicate enough time and as a one man band, I spent several hours recording a single 10mn episode.
  2. I want to go more in depth with the variety of topics we discuss. And go beyond the news.
  3. And perhaps more importantly, I want to interact with other interesting individuals. See, my passion is in the people, more than the pixels. Ever had an in-depth conversation with someone and wanted to share it with those around you? Well that's what I'd like to try and recreate.

So here goes Digital Digest 2.0. I’d like to make sure the episodes are longer and possibly free flowing. I also want to experiment with a quick word before, after, and possibly during the interviews. And I want to showcase people that you may not have heard of before. And in order to do that I’m thinking about publishing one episode a month, to give me the time to offer a teaser/preview, and thank potential sponsors and prepare the next episodes.

So hang tight for the first episode coming out very soon! In the meantime if you have any question or suggestion, I’d love for you to get in touch!

Stay tuned, and don’t forget to subscribe in iTunes to the podcast!
