6 years after "I'm gonna wreck it" became somewhat of a cult phrase, the big man is back with his adorable little friend. Ralph and Vanellope have been friends for six years and Ralph could not be happier. They work in their respective games all day long and when the arcade closes, they hang around through the night, jumping from one game to another. ...
Back in 1990, there was no cable TV and hence no Cartoon Network. I did not have the luxury of 24-hours of Centurions or Swat Kats. All I had was Sunday.

Incredibles 2 gives us back the same adorable family but this time there is an added bonus (will come to that in a bit). ...
For the last 5 years, Silicon Valley has consistently delivered incredibly funny satire on the new age tech business. In doing so, it has touched upon various issues the industry is infamous for like gender diversity, outlook towards race and colour, bench strength the size of an empire, quick-fire pink slips, the extravagance of wealth by tech moguls and young entrepreneurs alike. ...
