Without fail, once every few years there are predictions about the demise of Apple. With the current global pandemic, the naysayers have returned. In response, Apple released a new iPad Pro, MacBook Air and an iPhone. It is very clear that COVID-19 can cause a global shutdown, but Apple will keep on going. Like many […]

April 2020 should have seen the conclusion of the 10th season of The Walking Dead. However Covid-19 has halted post-production and the season finale is delayed indefinitely. That is not going to stop us though. After (nearly) 10 seasons and close to 150 episodes, FinalBoss takes a walk down memory lane to celebrate some of […]

Final Fantasy VII is without a doubt, one of the most widely known RPG’s of all time and had many of us (including myself) eagerly awaiting its release since it’s original PS4 announcement back at E3 in 2015. With the entire gaming community’s eyes firmly set upon the remake, the question is “Does it live […]

Always one step ahead of the curve, Nintendo has dropped hotly awaited new game for mobile: “Pokemon: Stay Inside” in an attempt to profit from the real world being in a state of LockDown. Don’t catch any Pokemon but just look at them from the safety of your double glazed window! In a motion of […]

Fellatia G has been creating music through her Youtube channel since 2012. As a female artist, she raps and creates a smutty world that talks about her sexuality and the world of a 20-something with the sleaziest of language, strong vivid hooks and often garnishing her music videos with her artwork. She currently is dropping […]

Continuing our little series of Avenger style team-ups in different fantasy worlds (see our Game of Thrones article for fantasy lovers and for you budding magicians out there our Harry Potter piece), we finally reach the Grandad of fantasy, Lord of the Rings.  This has been the hardest by far for me to think about as […]

Welcome to this monthly movie round up. Surreal times right now. With the cinemas shut down since mid-March, there’s not a lot to go through. And even worse, there’s not a lot to look forward to in April either. However, this is only the third edition of this column and I don’t want to abandon […]

Combating the coronavirus crisis is proving to be a huge challenge, one that no government expected or prepared for. As a result, almost every nation is playing catch-up, imposing strict quarantine measures to reduce transmission. With over 7 billion people on the planet, this is no easy task. Keeping track of those infected and cured […]

Adjusting to a life of self-isolating, social distancing and lockdown. Plenty of time on your hands? The FinalBoss squad have assembled (don’t worry, remotely) to provide a string of entertainment recommendations… Films  Arrival – A terrific story that explores some really unexpected plot threads. It wasn’t what I expected, and I don’t think it will […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people live, work and interact. It has now also changed (thankfully this is just temporary) the way we stream content. If you wondered why Suits isn’t streaming in HD or 4k on Netflix, it is not because your internet is slow, but because the European Commission (EC) requested […]

In the first of our ‘Beyond’ series, we took a look at some of the best non-MCU movies starring the actors who portray Marvel’s ‘Big 6’ hero characters. Now it’s time to check out some of the stars who play the series’ villains. For each, I’ve picked out a couple of their best roles outside […]

As social distancing becomes the norm, FinalBoss looks at how companies are helping people stay connected. Almost every nation on Earth has restricted travel, and several like Italy are in full lockdown over the coronavirus. As the global economy comes to a halt, governments are doing their best to ensure people still have jobs and […]

The Coronavirus pandemic is dominating the news in a way few of us will have ever experienced, affecting so many aspects of everyday life. Against the Coronavirus backdrop movies are, needless to say, insignificant. But, this is a movie column! So, today we’ll take a look at the impact of Coronavirus on movies, and how […]

With a phone book full of Cartoon Network alumni, and otherwise perfectly content on spending most of his days in the depths of Hell, Casper Kelly has had an awfully odd career – going viral with Too Many Cooks, a spoof take on old sitcom intros, Kelly has made a career out of subverting what […]

A list of franchise dragons divided into tiers, which franchise’s dragons are fire and which ones don’t scale well…? Every self-respecting fantasy series has got a dragon. Dragons are awesome, we all love dragons. But have you ever wondered: how do these dragons compare to each other? Well that’s what we are going to be […]

What was once a unique feature of a fledgling startup company has today taken social media by storm. Ephemeral messages, also called self-destructing messages, are the new gold standard for social media communication. They are everywhere, including Facebook and its many subsidiaries, and soon on Twitter and LinkedIn. Twitter has rolled out a test in […]

Facebook Messenger has got a new look. After three years of trying to bring chatbots to the masses, the company has pulled the plug on the experiment. The new version of the app is just 135.2MB, mainly because Facebook shrunk 1.7 million lines of code down to 360,000. That isn’t a miracle of engineering, the […]

Hunt: Showdown in its most basic form is a first-person shooter survival horror. But, in its entirety, though it is so much more.   The game’s premise is simple: You and your partner/s are hunters-cum-cowboy’s and load into a map based on 1895 Louisiana. Your task? To hunt one or more of the grotesque creatures stalking […]

Review: February 2020 Movie Of The Month Parasite – Worth the hype! Out in the US to widespread acclaim last autumn, Parasite had a limited release in the UK and only got more showings once it scooped both Best Picture and Best International Film at the Oscars. The film follows two families of four, one […]

Smartphone design has become boring.  Look back to the early 2000s, and you’d see phones in different shapes and sizes. Today, however, that isn’t the case. Smartphones are all rectangular slabs of glass, differentiated only by their ‘notch’ or camera set up.  To break from this trend, there’s a new design in the market: foldable […]

Competitive gaming requires you to have even the smallest edge over your opponent. Sometimes, that comes from practice and other times from the gear you use. When it comes to computers, the graphic card is an important piece of the puzzle. Choosing a graphics card can be a daunting prospect, with a very saturated market […]

The vast majority of those interviews have been conducted by Jon Holmes. Now we turn the tables. Our Jon has made his own short […]

After compiling an Avengers-style team from Westeros (Game of Thrones) I started wondering who would be picked for defending the Earth by the Ministry of Magic (from Rowling’s Harry Potter Universe) should an alien threat be imminent. The Ministry of Magic has one advantage over the Closed Council (governors of Westeros) which is the existence […]

Don’t Die, Minerva is an RPG-shooter game that involves keeping your wits about you, whilst following an 11-year-old girl that’s set in a haunted house. Following an 11-year-old may seem a bit weird, I know but it’s all in good fun. Having played a similar game to this previously, I sort of knew what I […]
