As an avid Hearthstone player since the Curse of Naxxramas expansion, I’m not what you would call a newbie, but I’m no expert either. Like a lot of players out there, I like to keep it casual. Sure, I’ve competed in local tourneys from time to time, and I do devote some time to playing…
The Disney Princess franchise has influenced the childhoods of millions of people today, both girls and boys. The franchise features some of the most iconic women of Disney films past and present and send a message that anyone can be like all the women in the Disney Princess lineup. However, not all female characters in…
Unlike a lot of films, noir classic Angels with Filthy Souls didn’t debut as a box-office hit. In fact, critic reviews of the movie are scarce (if any), and it has yet to be picked up for syndication, recorded onto DVD or Blu-Ray, and has yet to appear on any movie streaming site. Despite this,…
Weeks after the controversial ending of HBO’s Game of Thrones and people still can’t stop talking about Daenerys Targaryen and how she met her untimely death. While fans are divided on whether or not Dany’s madness came out of the blue or had been foreshadowed the entire time, we can all agree that seeing her…
You might ask yourself: what is a neko girl? What defines nekomimi? Spend enough time on the internet, especially anything involving anime or Japanese culture, and you’ll eventually run across images of sexy women (or, in some disturbing cases, young girls) dressed up as cats. It’s one of the most common characters in anime and…
Tackling ““The Diarrhea Song”” is no easy task, not just because of its implied simplicity (which, in reality, it isn’t), but also because of its lack of origin tales, first recordings, or proto versions. Much like the folklore of yore, “The Diarrhea Song” simply just… existed. “The Diarrhea Song” is a fascinating study on how…
After 3 days, 21 hours, 8 bags of popcorn, a dozen or more pee breaks, a walk in the park, and a short 8-hour nap (what, that’s a nap), I finally finished all 9 of the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings films, back to back, Extended Editions, in glorious HD. And what do I get out…
The Go Ahead released their new EP, In Harms Way, on Friday night at a packed Elbo Room in San Francisco’s Mission district. The San Francisco-based band has been together for seven years, yet on Friday they played with the energy and the veracity as if it were their first show. Their set was a…
You might say Flight Facilities “took off.” Yes that’s a bad joke, but a good laugh couldn’t hurt you. Just ask Flight Facilities pilots, Hugo and Jimmy, who’ve cracked more than a few bad jokes during recent interview. (Like telling journalists they’re Calvin Harris or that they’re from Trinidad and Tobago even though they’re actually…
I’ve always found it difficult to describe my tastes in electronic music. Mainstream sources often lean to either extremes of heavy bass or mellowed ambient. Leaving my fondness for subtle distortions, varying rhythms, unusual samples, and intricate layers as jargon phrases to the average listener. I’ve tried highlighting popular musicians (in my mind) to explain elements like…
