Column: Wisconsin basketball is ready for bright season ahead
(11/01/13 4:23am)

(10/31/13 6:16am)

You’re still OK, Arcade Fire, but that’s really it
(10/29/13 4:25am)
Arcade Fire is not a terrible band. There, I’ve said it. It’s not just the post-post-(post?)-irony speaking up in me either—I legitimately think, for all their cloying earnestness, poached influences and downright dumb lyricism, there’s a golden band buried somewhere deep under all the pseudo-intellectualism and indier-than-thou posturing. Funeral is proof; even now, some nine years later, it still mostly rings true, thanks largely to the now distinctly non-Arcade Fire lack of polish, as well as nostalgia that wanes on the far side of preachy. Maybe it’s just that death is a less furtive muse than how lame the suburbs are or, god forbid, the Bush administration.
'The Wolf Among Us' has gamers howling
(10/15/13 5:43am)
Telltale Games is no longer making adventure titles. There is no sequence of puzzles hidden around a sprawling environment for you to explore. The inventory tends to stay hidden off to the side. A forgotten relic of the past is rarely brought back into relevance. For a studio founded on honoring a once-dead genre, Telltale is severing ties with its heritage. As it turns out, stripping away genre conventions has made Telltale the most relevant storyteller in the industry right now.
‘Riddick’ a fine film for the horror genre
(09/10/13 6:17am)
The “Riddick” series is a curious anomaly. As a franchise, it has always seemed to stay at the periphery of general knowledge, just inside the circle of “cult classic” (a term that I find somewhat silly, as it sounds like a euphemism for the Necronomicon). I don’t know of many people that have actually seen the first two films, which is a real shame. “Pitch Black,” the series’ kickoff title, is still one of David Twohy’s best movies, and probably the establishing point in his career. The guy knows exactly how to blend brutal horror with exciting, visceral fisticuffs. “Riddick” is one of those movies that has its own gleeful formula, and pulls it off with remarkable grace and intelligence.

The race to pump out compelling, original video content online is in full swing.

Column: Wrapping up the men's hoops season
(04/10/13 5:30am)
As great as the NCAA Tournament is, March Madness comes packed with a brutal reality: one misstep and its all over. With one half of poor shooting, Wisconsin found that out the hard way, falling to 12th-seeded Ole Miss to bring a quick end to a postseason run many thought had a chance to go the distance.
Column: No surprise, but defense key for a Wisconsin tourney run
(03/20/13 5:27am)
Wisconsin certainly didn’t enter the Big Ten tournament hitting on all cylinders. The Badgers lost two of three games before Friday’s matchup with Michigan, and their only ‘W’ came on the shoulders of a last-second 3-pointer from sophomore guard Traevon Jackson.
Men's Basketball: Wisconsin advances to tournament title game with win over Indiana
(03/16/13 11:47pm)
CHICAGO—Wisconsin had beaten Indiana 11 straight times entering Saturday’s Big Ten tournament semifinal game. It’s difficult to beat any team that many games in a row, especially when the opponents are perhaps too familiar with one another from playing in the same conference.
Men's Basketball: Upset at the Kohl Center
(03/04/13 7:49am)
The old adage goes something like, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.” Unfortunately, the Badgers bought into that sentiment a bit too much Sunday afternoon, missing their final 18 attempts from 3-point range in a 69-56 loss at the hands of Purdue.

Men's Basketball: Northwestern on deck for Badgers
(02/20/13 6:46pm)
While any Big Ten conference schedule would be a grueling test this season, Wisconsin (9-4 Big Ten, 18-8 overall) might have had the toughest slate of any team in the conference the last 10 games. The Badgers have played six ranked teams during that stretch, more than any other Big Ten team. Further, none of those 10 games came against a team in the bottom one-third of the conference standings.
Men's Basketball: Wisconsin rides hot start, stifling defense to rout Buckeyes
(02/18/13 9:06am)
Any concerns No. 20 Wisconsin (9-4 Big Ten, 18-8 overall) would come out flat with No. 13 Ohio State (8-5, 18-7) in town, went out the door within a few minutes of play Sunday at the Kohl Center. With the two sides knotted up at 6 in the early stages, Wisconsin held the Buckeyes without a field goal (0-of-14) for nearly nine minutes while scoring 18 unanswered points to put things out of reach for OSU. The visitors wouldn’t pull any closer than 13 the rest of the way, dropping a 71-49 contest—their third loss in the last four games.

(02/15/13 4:53am)

Men's Basketball: Brust’s late-game heroics propel Badgers over No. 3 Michigan
(02/11/13 10:00am)
Ben Brust grew up playing basketball in the driveway with his older brothers, and the only time he could get off a clear look was from the “square of relief” in the back of the driveway.
