Grant Nelson, Staff Writer
October 14, 2020
A game that is a great playthrough that I think many may find refreshing is Elder Scrolls “Oblivion.” A high fantasy classic filled with dungeons, demon slaying, quests, and lore, this game is something I have spent many hours going through...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Review
Grant Nelson, Staff Writer
October 14, 2020
A TV show that I would highly recommend this October is the cult classic “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” The show is a goth, 90s teen drama that draws from a lot of occult. This show takes place in a college right on top of a literal g...
‘The 5th Wave’ movie not as strong as book
Allison Althof, Staff Writer
February 4, 2016
Alien invasions are nothing new to entertainment. Many of us have watched Will Smith punch an alien in the face in “Independence Day” and Stephanie Meyer’s “The Host” made it on to the big screen back in 2013. Extraterrestrial life is a fun topic to explore because we don’t know for sure...
‘Mockingjay’ ends Hunger Games series
Megan Toman, Staff Writer
December 10, 2015
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2” is a real tearjerker. The movie is filled with love, heartbreak, deaths and tears. Of course we still have the love triangle between Katniss, Gale, and Peeta, but there is also a beautiful wedding with dancing and decisions that could change a life. While...
A Wii-ly good time: Wii U review
Michael Klein, Staff Writer
January 23, 2013
Nintendo has been enjoying record profits since the Wii U released in November, but neither the hype nor total sales numbers come near the original Wii when it hit shelves six years ago. Retailers everywhere are stocked with the systems, but many question whether it’s time to upgrade. Wii U’s...
Movie review: ‘Breaking Dawn Part II’ mired in mediocrity
George Treviranus, Editor-in-Chief
December 4, 2012
The gang is back… sort of. Edward, Jacob, Bella and all the vampires and wolves you remember from before. Except this time Bella is a vampire. What the film brings on the good side, including cinematography, a couple decent actors and actresses and a moderately fun mythos to work in—quickly becomes...

Tom Richardson, Staff Writer
December 4, 2012
Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. These are the actors who had the honor of playing Ian Fleming’s most famous character creation on the big screen. Daniel Craig takes on Bond again for the third time in “007: Skyfall,” the 23rd Bond film...

Sony has finally brought a fighter to the PlayStation 3 and Vita that can rival Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. “PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale” features an impressive, yet limited character selection and a fresh knockout system. As you battle, your character will build up their attack meter....
Pastries set the standards at People’s Bakery
Katrina Simyab, Clarion Arts and Culture Editor
October 12, 2011
Tucked away on East Wash is an unassuming building with the words “People’s Bakery” on the side in red letters. Headed by an endearing older couple, this restaurant specializes in authentic Lebanese cuisine and pastries. The restaurant itself is fairly small and upon entering is cluttered with...
Blink-182 Returns
Sam Johnson, Clarion Staff Writer
October 12, 2011
The musical prowess of Blink-182 is vast with the development of their music proving a versatility and intelligence rare in many contemporary American bands. With a discography that can give many of their peers a run for the money, there are still two distinct ways to approach the assessment of their...

Aaron Miller and Katrina Simyab, Clarion Staff Writers
September 13, 2011
Fall is almost upon us, and you can feel it get rather chilly over the past few days. Tomatoes and peppers will soon be gone from the seasonal produce section, so try these hearty quesadillas before those items fade for another year. They reheat well, so making a whole batch and having lunch for a...
