High adventure. Big, beautiful worlds. Fun action gameplay. Exploration and puzzles. Epic boss fights. These are a few of the hallmarks of the acclaimed, long-running Legend of Zelda series. Chances are that you are familiar with the series if you’re reading this, so I won’t spend any time making the case for why Zelda is…
I’m going to write this, but I will note from the outset that I am woefully underqualified to. Not only have I just seen one season of this show — a breathtaking, addicting, incredible season, but just one — but we happen to have a devoted OC acolyte on staff. Grant cites it as one…
Greetings all! My name’s Andrew Kim. I’m a student attending the College of William & Mary. Over Winter Break, we college students take the time to relax after two hard weeks of final exams. Students take advantage of these four weeks in various different ways. Some try to get a leg up and hit the…
Every 25 entries, I’m going to take a break listing my favorite things to talk about something I don’t like: Wow, way to pick a low-hanging fruit, right? Still, I feel that I am qualified to comment on the badness Twilight. Not only have I read the first book and watched the first movie, but…
I found Sepinwall’s blog some time around 2008 when I was Googling around, trying to find some reviews of Freaks and Geeks. His episode-by-episode recaps of all sixteen episodes of the one-season-wonder were exactly what I was looking for. It wasn’t just F&G he covered, though. He wrote about a myriad of comedies and dramas,…
(picture courtesy Starpool’s facebook page) This is part 3 of Will’s countdown of the top 100 ska-punk songs 80. All My Best Friends Are Metalheads – Less than Jake “This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager.” This song preaches the simple and common message…
Judd Apatow is a comedy writer-director-producer who has directed or produced some of my favorite comedies of the past decade. Apatow first worked in television, with an eye on producing even early in his career. He co-created The Ben Stiller Show just two years out of college and won an Emmy award. After that was…
I think it’s safe to say that no band has had a career trajectory quite like Weezer. The rises and falls are numerous, and nobody is quite sure what their legacy is. Let’s walk through it. Sounding like a cross between The Beach Boys, Big Star, and The Rolling Stones, they did not fit into…
Last night’s awards show rollicked along with inspired live collaborations pushing crossover appeal to new heights, touching moments honoring timeless musical champions, and a whole lot of gold getting handed out. At least, I assume that’s how it continued: low on energy and staring down the barrel of a new week of work, I only…
The Doobie Brothers. The Steve Miller Band. James Taylor. Simon and Garufnkel. Lynyrd Skynyrd. John Denver. Elton John. These are among the artists who I loved before I loved music. Their songs I heard at home and on the radio, their greatest hits albums I played in my first CD player. They’re musicians who laid…
