Just Make a Fucking Film
There seems to be this misconception among cinema enjoyers that they could never make a film. They haven’t seen every arthouse film, have never studied media, don’t have a camera, mic, lighting set up, or friends who can act. You need none of that. You need a phone and a vision. Fuck it, you don’t […]
Sexy or Sketchy?
So, bear with me on this. I love me a sexy vampire. There is nothing that gets me going more than 2010’s vampire movie or show that borderlines on stalker behaviour and assault charges.

A Kleptomaniac Stole This Column
Bro, I went to Kmart and I stood right in front of the checkout so that I wouldn’t steal because I’ve got a bad stealing problem when it comes to Kmart. Like, nowhere else I will steal. In Kmart, I will steal. Tell me why I accidentally walked out with this. I didn’t even want […]

Anonymous: To date or not to date during uni? That is the question. Nexus: This is an incredibly valid thing to consider. The answer, really, depends on the person and what you find out about yourself by evaluating. What is most important to you, and will you be able to achieve it and feel […]
Illegal =/= immoral
The fallacy that something that is illegal is immediately wrong and immoral is one that has continued to persevere through generations. This rigid worldview seems especially persistent among older generations, arguably due to a combination of anti-intellectualism, growing up in a time with limited access to diverse media and critical discourse (and maybe lead poisoning).

Nexus Knows
How to hack nexus and blow up the servers? Honestly, most of the staff don’t have as much energy as is required to get through the day. Give them a coffee or an energy drink and you’ll quite possibly get pointed in the right direction with no need to put that much effort into it. […]
To Run or To Walk
When the weather turns to shit and the sky can’t stop sobbing, one debate never fails to be brought up: did the Myth Busters prove you get less wet if you run or walk in the rain? I, once and for all, will settle that debate today. In the year 2003, Mr and Mr Myth […]
The Art of Dining Solo
I’m a huge fan of eating out alone. There is nothing quite like the freedom of going where you want and when you want, without the need to make plans with others. For an introvert like myself, it’s a chance to enjoy my own company and reflect. But for many others, it’s a welcome opportunity […]
