Cosplay Conventions Should Be All About Fun and Games.
As a long time cosplayer, I have found it extremely aggravating when people want to cause trouble and drama at conventions. I have seen way too much of it and quite frankly, I am sick of it. My friends and I are in the agreement that these conventions should be our escape from reality.

Jenna Marbles' New Youtube Video Just Made My Day
Jenna Marbles is amazing. She seems like someone I would genuinely enjoy hanging out with. The very amazing and successful career of Jenna Marbles appeared to have started after her video "How To Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking" went viral, and was viewed over 5.3 million times in its first week. It still remains her most popular Youtube video to this day. However, since then, she has made all kinds of great and amazing content. In fact, if you follow her Youtube channel, she is pretty good at getting at least one video out a week.

What to expect from the Re-Release of Avengers: Endgame
With the booming success of Marvel's twenty second installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it's no surprise that the company decided to put the movie back out into theaters. With $2.75 Billion USD Endgame is currently sitting behind the highest grossing film of all time, Avatar, which has a gross revenue of $2.79.Billion USD. This competition is the stuff of legends and some pretty amazing memes, as Endgame quickly rose to sink other memorable movies such as Titanic. Many Marvel fans are hoping that this last push will get Endgame over the finish line.

The Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Start a YouTube Channel
"Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is JeezBee and this is..." This is how I start ALL of my videos. YouTubers call this the intro. It's where you introduce yourself to your audience and where you will first grip their attention. (This is probably the most important part of your video.) It's also where you need to announce a "Call To Action" or where you ask your audience to comment, like, share, or (famously) subscribe.

Reexperiencing PsychoBabble
While on the road with family, I was listening to a podcast that I hadn't listened to in a long while. On one hand, it felt nice listening to something I hadn't in a few years. On the other hand, it's interesting hearing different examples of verbal freedom and humor in this time and age of online media.

Save the Fan Accounts
With the current free usage of the Internet, it has become easier to bring communities together and for those communities to show enthusiasm for certain things they have in common. For this article, the example worth bringing up is the example of fanatics of various celebrities/shows showing their enthusiasm by tweeting about them, posting theories and observations about particular shows, writing down "What if" scenarios in the form of fanfiction or, what is worth discussing and protecting as of now, creating drawings and video edits dedicated to those celebrities and shows and posting them on Instagram.

A Guide to Creating a Successful Fan Account on Instagram
Instagram is one of the largest social media platforms today, with an active user base of approximately 800 million. Fanpages comprise a large portion of those users.

This Is Why Journalists Aren't Taken Seriously Anymore
If you've been online in the last week or so you may or may not have seen/heard something about the Guild Wars 2 developers who were fired following a rather unprofessional outburst on social media. Yes, I know this sounds like the start of a hit piece, and it's funny you should say that because that's kind of what I'd like to look at.
