Diablo IV’s endgame and seasonal content are repetitive, redundant, and uninspired. (Op-Ed)
I am rather late to Diablo IV, and it appears that the party is already over. After clocking 77 hours of gameplay over the past few weeks, I find myself struggling to find the desire to log in and continue my journey. The campaign is rather short, but the story is fascinating. I felt that […]

No good endings: Cyberpunk 2077 highlights human struggle under oppressive capitalism. (Op-Ed)
In Night City, Cyberpunk 2077’s futuristic neon-bathed metropolis, it’s borderline impossible to distinguish between right and wrong. The obscenely rich hold all the wealth while the common residents can barely scrape up enough Eddies (money) for rent. The stars in the sky are eclipsed by projected, holographic advertisements for soda, synthetic meat, television shows, and […]
The cinematic brilliance of “The Bear.” (Op-Ed)

“Late Night with the Devil” had a fantastic premise, but poor execution. (Op-Ed)
Indie horror films do not have to be made with a high budget to be a cult classic or hit success. Take Terrifier, for example, a film that is so low-budget and unsettling that it has developed a mass following of Art the Clown lovers. Late Night with the Devil and all the markings of […]

Omakase restaurants provide a unique, singular dining experience. (Op-Ed)
Omakase is a traditional style of Japanese dining experience in which the diner lets the sushi chef prepare whatever they desire for their guests; there are no menus, no requests, and no two omakase experiences, even if at the same restaurant, are the same. The phrase omakase directly translates to “I leave it up to […]
Racist Trump calls deadly Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally a “peanut” compared to student protesters. (Op-Ed)
As student protesters unite across college campuses to stand up against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, former president Donald Trump has condemned their peaceful protest and called the deadly Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally a “peanut” in comparison. In August 2017, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and other right-wing groups descended on the city of Charlottesville to protest the […]
