Action Bronson Mr. Wonderful Album Review Atlantic Records/Vice Records/Goliath Released March 23, 2015 Genre: Hip Hop, East Coast Hip Hop, Rap Rock, Pop Rap https://open.spotify.com/album/7ijgeLAW3W3vZ9jf6tozFq Acclaimed East Coast MC, and chef, Action Bronson's feature debut full length is a glitzy, robust, and lush piece of work. Bronson fuses his typical over-the-top, braggadocios lyricism and wit, with some blues rock and soul influenced instrumentals. There are...
Purity Ring another eternity Album Review 4AD Released March 3, 2015 Genre: Electronic Pop, Future Pop, Synth Pop, Dream Pop https://open.spotify.com/album/4ymjpcGruNuUUUZOeGawLe Trying to continue the pursuit of their self-acclaimed genre, "future pop," Purity Ring released their sophomore album, another eternity. In hindsight, Shrines, their first album, and another eternity are very alike, but at the same time very different.  Purity Ring is a duo made up of Megan James on vocals and Corin...
Immediately, as I boot up the game, I am met with a dying soldier and a bloodied Chocobo (an animal used like a horse), an incredibly violent scene for a Final Fantasy game.

You can't even see music, right, but there is something so magical about it." Michael White 15' DALLAS-Early Saturday, 6:40AM, in a meandering line of...
“Avengers Assemble!” I recently sent that text out as I invited my friends to see Avengers: Age of Ultron, which opens in the U.S. on May 1st, 2015. First, I’d like to talk news from the week of April 19th in the wonderful Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has set itself up for a legacy of superhero movies in the coming...
Alex Motter has become the newest member of the Podcast crew. He will replace Enrique on the podcast once Enrique graduates and moves on. So what better way to prep him than have him join the crew early? As per usual the Podcast is recorded in Segments. Each segment is a part of the original taping that occurred on April 23,...
With graphic fatalities ridden with copious amounts of gore along with impalements and screams of agony, few franchises have impacted the gaming industry as much as the Mortal Kombat series. Parents and kids alike can either curse or praise its violence, which ultimately led to the creation of the Entertainment Software Rating Board, or ESRB for short. In summary, the rating...
