WHSmith and How Not to Rebrand

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:25:31 +0000

⁣In May 2026, TGJones (formerly WHSmith) will be closing 150 high street shops. It’s sad yet predictable news for the struggling high street chain.

Since the rebrand in 2025, WHSmith’s new name has not gone down well with the general public. The shops still feel dated and there’s so much product confusion it's difficult to know where to start.

Along with Royal Mail’s name change to Consignia, Weightwatchers becoming WW, and Warner Brothers not knowing what to call their HBO streaming service, this is a prime example of how to rebrand. Especially when you have the history dating back to the late 1700s.

Thank your to @Larry Bundy Jr for the tip regarding Consignia

Minecraft (Beta) #37: Building the Railway Pt. 4

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:20:14 +0000

⁣Welcome back to Minecraft Beta!

In episode #37, we continue Building the Railway and make even more progress on the railway project. The track is getting longer, the route is starting to come together, and the build is slowly becoming a proper transport system across the world.

In this episode, I keep placing rails, improving the structure, working on the supports, and pushing the railway closer to completion. There is still plenty left to build, but the project is finally starting to look impressive.

If you enjoy classic Minecraft Beta gameplay, old-school survival, large building projects, mining, and exploring, leave a like and subscribe for more episodes.

Thanks for watching!

Valorant #1: Crashing Out on This Game!

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 05:21:36 +0000

⁣Welcome to the first episode of my Valorant series!

In Valorant #1, I’m already losing my mind, missing shots, getting destroyed, and completely crashing out over this game. Expect chaotic rounds, questionable decisions, frustrating deaths, and plenty of rage along the way.

This is only the beginning, so things can either get better from here… or much worse.

If you enjoyed the video, leave a like, subscribe, and comment your best Valorant tips because I clearly need them.

Thanks for watching!
