African Names Aren’t Weird

On January 18, 2021December 8, 2020 By GiftIn Musings6 Comments

Africa has fifty four countries all with their own languages. I am including the islands in this number. So we all have our style of naming. African names are not all the same when you consider all the different countries, tribes, languages and races that live in the continent. However, even though we’re so diverse …

On January 5, 2021 By GiftIn mangaLeave a comment

My favourite shounen manga has reached it's 1000th chapter! Can you believe it? Is that not a big milestone?! I mean imagine drawing that many chapters, forget writing but drawing that much. Not just drawing but creating a plot that keeps the audience engaged for 1000 chapters. One Piece is the butt of many jokes …

VR and the Matrix

On January 4, 2021December 4, 2020 By GiftIn Film, MusingsLeave a comment

Matrix spoilers contained within I was thinking about virtual reality the other day and I realised something. If people from the world of The Matrix saw virtual reality, would they not be scared? Can you just imagine Morpheus popping up and being like, “We thought it was a game too, when it started. We were …
