WhatsApp brings back text Status it replaced with Stories

I never posted about WhatsApp,s update because of all its updates, this one I hated. I believe, if you are going to copy something, which is what they did, make it better not worse. I am not a fan of bootlleg updates . Which is what WhatsApp's attempt at Stories was. Anyway , enough of my rant. On to the news...

The Snapchatification of everything has resulted in backlash for WhatsApp, prompting it to revive its text Status option while keeping its image-based replacement. The move shows how social apps must quickly react to feedback if they make a false step in modernizing to adapt to visual communication.

This past week I've been conducting a little study to see what type of Blog Posts readers are more interested in. And I do believe I have an answer.

Redirecting Around  The World

So during the course of this week, I made a varied repertoire of posts to test my theory.

Why I Love MK

My love dates back to like MK1 on the Sega. But the guy in this video, right here, brought back  the love for me at a time when I had all but given up on Mortal Kombat.

When I had been given nonsense like Deception and Armageddon and I had started to say, "I'd rather play Tekken."

But Midway, sorry NetherRealm Studios brought it back for me.

So thank you NetherRealm and thank you...

I Am Tired Of Stereotypes!

A word of caution for my sensitive readers!

The following post is one that I will not be holding back! I the warn you to not continue if you can’t take the truth. I shall not and will not apologise for my opinions so if you disagree that’s your own problem.

Stereotype: A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

Ed Boon - Fatality Lives!

The first time I ever played a home gaming console was on the Sega MegaDrive when I was in third grade. And the first game I ever played was Mortal Kombat. It was love at first sight and a love that has has only grown over the years...

The reason why Fatality Lives is Ed Boon...

Television, let the Regression begin...

When I was growing up, television was a place I went to for knowledge and information.

But somewhere along the line corporate greed took over and we were flooded by mindless meaningless shows that only made our minds regress.

Tekken 6 - What happened Harada?

Kazuya Mishima & Jin Kazama

Tekken has always prided itself in being a fighting game through and through. But somewhere here in this instalment, I believe Namco Bandai went a little bit off the tracks...

Katsuhiro Harada - The Legend

In my opinion, this is one of the best game producers to ever bless the gaming industry...

I consider this man an icon, a visionary. An innovator, a legend when it comes to game designing and I aspire to be like him one day...

Evolution of Gaming - The Battle Rages...

PS Vita

As history shows, with time comes innovation, integration and evolution. This has been definitely the case with gaming throughout time.Here are some of the innovations we have seen over time...

Animorphs - Holds Possibilities

What ever happened to Animorphs? The SciFi that never was...

I think it failed dismally because it made its debut in times when aliens and UFOs were associated with crazy people hence it was never accepted.

The series however holds possibilities for a remake, a magnificent one at that. Especially with the CGI technology,  high definition and 3D viewing. Also it has fantastic storyline, an idea that no one had thought of. It holds potential, a lot of potential...

So This is a call to the great directors. Stop remaking superheroes and give us a new Animorphs!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Logo

One of the best and most popular forms of entertainment for kids and the young at heart are cartoons. Its a form of entertainment that's universal.  I think almost every single person on the planet has watched a cartoon. They are the one form of entertainment that I truly believe has no age limit. And the creators take immense advantage of this...
