Tencent, How Short Sighted Teenagers Cut Down a Titan

BY: EDWARD "SCREENAGER" ORR

If you’ve been unlucky enough to work in finance, then some of you might have heard the news that Tencent is no longer listed among the world’s ten most valuable companies. After months of hardship, the massive tech firm has dropped around 40% of their share value, a staggering $250 billion, over the last nine months and the implications reach far beyond their HQ in Shenzhen.

Fallout 76: A Review of Apocalyptic Survival

BY: BRISEADH

I did not pay much attention to this game when some of my friends in Gaiscioch were looking at it. I’ve been primarily a fantasy MMO player for quite some time. It’s been over a decade since I played anything close to Fallout 76 for theme. However, one of them streams the game a lot so I saw the game that way during beta. On release day, I had the money for it so bought it, but slightly too late. For a digital download it seems odd that some ran out of digital keys and you had to wait for a box to show up at your house. It got here two days earlier than I expected, so I had a week to play before starting this review, and really don’t feel behind on anything, because I have great friends to help me.
