Lory Gil ∙ Updated October 13, 2018

Cows are simply adorable. Many people will overlook the big-eyed dopey beasts as being little more than tomorrow night’s dinner. But, take a closer look at one and you’ll see that they are beautiful in their bizarreness. You just want to take one home as a pet. At least, I do.

Celleste is an arcade tapping game that has you playing god in a battle to protect these sweet and innocent cows. While they are searching for a safe place to graze, bugs are looking to graze on them. Protect the spotted beasts against evil critters with a taste for beef…

Though traveling is one of my favorite things to do, packing for travels can be pretty stressful, especially when traveling abroad.

Analyst: 5.5″ iPhone 6 to have faster A8 processor and different touch modules

Christian Zibreg ∙ August 4, 2014

Disclaimer: an analyst says stuff about Apple that may or may not come true.
