The 'Harry Potter' Effect: A Lifetime of Inspiration from the Unforgettable Wizarding World
As a child I had a lot of difficulty with socialising (one of my diagnoses is autism) and would dread recess breaks at school. I had trouble fitting in with my peers and my favourite books to read were atlases. Yet in Fourth Grade (aged 9) I had a very kind teacher who was saddened to see a child sitting alone and depressed.

Why Your First Feature Film Has To Be a No Budget Film
If any of you have seen my first feature film “The Garden’s Keeper” you should have noticed that it’s very low-budget, as in 750 dollars total budget. It's crazy, I know, but failing to secure funds taught me more than I would have learned if I had more money. I’m not saying more money is bad, but your first film is a learning experience and the less money you have the more creative you get and the more you learn.

Mass Effect Andromeda Review
Released: March 21, 2017 Genre: Third-Person RPS First Impression: "Jesus, are those the faces?" The first modern video game I played was the original Mass Effect, around ten years ago now. Since then the title's exploded, with sequels, books, merch, and the like following in the wake of its success. But the trouble with ongoing, consistent success is complacency--and you can see where that got the designers of Mass Effect 3, with its lame (original) ending barely bothering to acknowledge the amount of effort you put in to the entire damn game. That being said, I still played through Mass Effect 3 like... 4 or 5 times, one after the other, using different characters--and therefore different choices--each time. This, I thought, was the strongest point of the Mass Effect games: where its sister title Dragon Age abandoned the idea of carrying over choices and progress from previous titles at "Dragon Age 2: Errands in Town", Mass Effect kept with it.

'13 Reasons Why' Gets Second Season
When Jay Asher wrote 13 Reasons Why and saw it published in 2007, odds are good he did not anticipate that it would develop into this controversial, but huge, hit for Netflix. He probably didn't expect that music - and Disney - star Selena Gomez would want to executive produce such a series. For those who have neither read the book nor watched the riveting program, here's a bit of a news flash; the book is set up in such a way that a sequel would simply not work. While I have not watched the series myself, it is my understanding that the series ends with a fairly explicit scene in which a student is shown seriously contemplating a school shooting.

Guess Who's Not Showing Up On 'Ellen?'
In spite of his predecessor and the former First Lady being allowed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show multiple times, President Donald Trump is simply not to turn up for an interview. This perhaps unsurprising bit of news surfaced as veteran Today interviewer Matt Lauer sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to talk about the 20th anniversary of her very public coming out, their upcoming 60th birthdays and their prank war.
