One thing they should have done differently was issuing the recalls sooner than they did though. I think the vendors that used the lead paint, Mattel and the government regulators that are supposed to be checking for safety…

I could hear the constant chatter of the teams solving problems, parents giving advice, and judges evaluating. Then, I picked it up and looked into its lifeless eyes as it looked back at me. “Let’s do this!” I said.

That video game took up a lot of my time on rainy days,…

I remember whenever I was a kid I used to love this game; getting the new version every year, meet with all my friends to play it together, but over the years the game became repetitive. Pokemon needed a blast, and it was accomplished with the released of Pokemon go. The game Pokémon is a Japanese…
