When the Trump Organization announced its new Trump Mobile cell service and gold colored T1 phone -- complete with an American flag on the back -- it raised a lot of questions. While most of them focused on the numerous mistakes and typos on the Trump Mobile site -- some of which have been fixed -- other errors and questionable policies, like calling RAM storage, not identifying the handset's processor or the fact that you can't get a refund for the T1 phone raised several flags for us. Even the

The ‘GQuuuuuuX’ Endgame Is About the Messiest Relationship in All of ‘Gundam’

What is Mobile Suit Gundam about? Sometimes, it’s about cool robots. Sometimes, it’s about the horrors of war.

But really, a lot of the time–especially in the series’ foundational Universal Century setting–Gundam is a story about the two most divorced people to have ever not been married. And now Gundam GQuu
