    The production values in the Verges' latest video packages are stunning. Cinematic to say the least, great work.

    This was a great watch. With the conflict in Israel happening and potentially the threat of a Nuclear war in that region, it was eye opening to see some coverage of the first Nuclear device detonated on earth. No man should posses such power. I can only hope for humanities sake that another will never be detonated again.
