Fantasy Games Growth In India And Globally
The landscape of fantasy games in India has evolved into a new phenomenon in the past 2 years. This can be in proportion to the surge in digital usage, especially due to the introduction of cheaper data plans and better connectivity offered by the budding telecom industry. The ease created by Artificial Intelligence and Data Science has affected not only the tech world but also the way people visualize and think. The outside edge created by the development helped the entry of fantasy gaming into the sporting world. Nowadays people don’t rate players by their physicality or charm. The 21st-century sporting world revolves around statistics. These statistics create the foundation for these so-called fantasy games.

Fans Can’t Bully Studios And Actors Forever
Toxic fans have always been a problem and there isn’t a simple solution to getting rid of them. After the flop of Joss Whedon’s Justice League, it was understandable that fans wanted to see the Zack Snyder cut since he was the one who was initially in charge of the project. Hash tag, #ReleaseTheSnyderCut began to trend, which no one expected it to happen or even really care if it did. However, Warner Bros decided to listen to the fans and release the Snyder Cut which turned out pretty well to much surprise. Unfortunately, this gave some fans the idea that they could recreate this trend with other films like #ReleaseTheLucasCut for Star Wars. Some fans seem to think that because they don’t like something, they can simply demand a reshoot of something that many people spent a lot of time, energy, and money working on.

Is Nepotism Ruining Film?
Film is an industry that has been going on for well over one hundred years now with studios such as MGM, Universal, Columbia Pictures, THX, Pixar Animation and Disney becoming some of the world's most well-known names of production companies and distributors all over the world. With this, actors and actresses, directors and producers have sumounted increasing amounts of fame and success for their talents. But the real question over the last ten to fifteen years is whether nepotism is destroying the chance for real talent to keep shining through as second generation rich kids of Hollywood parents get roles and opportunities over hard working, talented people.

The TV Licence Oversteps Its Bounds
The time was 5:30am, and I was awake. Because I was awake long before I needed to be, I made a cup of tea and decided to watch the US vice presidential debate on YouTube. I would have watched the debate the day after it aired regardless, because these days I tend to go down with the sun. But even if I had wanted to stay up late to watch the debate live, I would have been legally unable to.
