November 19, 2013

I’ve been putting off writing this article for as long as I can, but every week when it comes time to choose what movie I’m going to review, I find myself putting this movie at the top of the list. The reasons as to why I’ve been so slow to write this are numerous. For...

“Robot And Frank:” Sci-fi independence

Eddie Sheehy, Lifestyles Columnist
November 14, 2013

I love independent films, and I love sci-fi. Unfortunately for me, these two types of movies almost never meet. It’s a logistics problem, I know, sci-fi has a tendency to rely heavily on special effects, foreign landscapes and aliens which is virtually impossible to do on an...

November 5, 2013

Since the beginning of Fall, there has been many events that happened in the nation that most people can’t seem to stop talking about. The Pirates having a great season, for example! And of course, Miley Cyrus’ VMA’s performance. We all know that by November though,...

October 30, 2013

My favorite holiday without a doubt is Halloween. Scaring people, dressing up in costumes, eating candy, it’s all good in my book. Unfortunately for us, Halloween this year falls on a Thursday- which means most of us won’t be able to take part in Halloween festivities on...

by Dominic Flamini, Staff Writer
October 22, 2013

Back in 2009, I found some gameplay videos of a fake Mega Man 10, animated by Philippe Poulin, aka MegaPhilX. I was interested, so I kept an eye on the project. Four years and one name change later, the game was no longer a fake; it was Mega Man Unlimited. Like anything else,...

October 15, 2013

It takes a lot to scare me. Conventional creepy things like spiders, clowns, and the dark don’t usually have an effect on me. I’m usually the guy who laughs at things in a haunted house and heckles the actors (should I be ashamed of that?). I can usually rank a good haunted...
