Whilst we came to Smashbomb to share common interests in entertainment & media, if you ever want to talk about anything bothering you out in the real world, I've created an Orb for this very purpose.

Sometimes it can be easier to talk to people online & get advice from someone that isn't face to face, and this is where Smashbombers come in. Please join the orb if you're interested!

Welcome to Dear Smashbomb... the orb to come to if you're looking for advice from your fellow Smashbombers or just want to have a rant to sympathetic ears. No problem is too big or too small, and there'll be no judgement here.

Just remember to only share what you're comfortable sharing & don't divulge any personal information. And please NO religion or politics.

Also, can we agree to no religion or politics? That is why I got rid of my Facebook.

Kudos

Sarah (7798 KP) Sep 8, 2018

Absolutely. This is rather for personal issues or advice, not for promoting or arguing about religious beliefs or politics.

Hey Smashbombers!

As you might be able to guess - we've been doing some thinking at the Smashbomb team about all of your fantastic ideas we got in the survey... One overwhelming idea for Smashbomb would be to use KP for more and more things - so my question for you all is what kind of things would you want to use your KP for :)

Leave a comment under this post - absolutely everything is helpful! :)

Hey Smashbombers!

Here is the first of this week's 'top-rated' lists. For this one I have selected 10 apps from the 'Education' genre.

If you're looking to learn a new skill during isolation, or if you're home-schooling kids, some of these apps could help!

I've recently started using 'Drops' myself to see how much of my GCSE French I can remember (Spoiler: Not much!) but it's a great app for learning a new language!

Stay Safe & Happy Reviewing!
Ollie.

Good morning/afternoon fellow Smashbomb peeps! I just created a new Orb called Get to know your fellow Smashbombers where you can post cool or fun videos about you and your life.

Let's find out more about one another with this fun new Orb?!?

I posted the first video of my movie collection.

Looking forward to seeing all your videos as well. If you have issue uploading large files, you can upload to Youtube and then post the link. That is what I did.

Hey Smashbombers!

Following on from last week when I put together a list of great multiplayer games, this week I focused on single player games!

Multiplayer games are great, but sometimes you want to enjoy some solo gameplay, and these games offer some great stories!

Hopefully these games could help keep you entertained if you're a bit bored at the moment.

If you've already tried any of these games, let me know what you thought in the comments, I'm always up for some video game chat!

Stay Safe & Happy Reviewing!

Hey Smashbombers,

I just wanted to add another quick reminder about our linking feature. You can easily link related items to each other, so that we can all discover new items!

I've just spent some time linking movie prequels/sequels and movies based on video games, why not link your favourites too?

It's really easy to do, simply go to one of the relevant items, for example: Batman Begins, click 'EDIT' scroll down to 'RELATED ITEMS' and search for the other item(s): The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises - then hit 'SAVE' and the items will be linked, just like the picture example below!

Hopefully you will find this feature helpful,
Happy Reviewing & Linking!
Ollie.
