Card Shark’ is a unique experience whose delightful tricks don’t work for me
(08/10/22 6:00am)
The concept of Devolver Digital’s “Card Shark,” a card game where the point is to rig the deck and cheat, had me so excited. While the story and artwork are amazing, the gameplay feels more like something from a brain game than I find enjoyable.

‘Kenshi’ is a fantastic post-apocalyptic video game, you need to play it
(07/15/22 5:00am)
Writing this review was a struggle. On the one hand, I have a longstanding love-hate relationship with “Kenshi”; on the other hand, “Kenshi” is a game that cannot be properly summarized with mere words, but I will try my best.
‘Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers’ is a beautiful mess of an album
(07/15/22 7:00am)
Kendrick Lamar’s last three studio albums were all instant classics that defined their respective generations of hip-hop. On May 13, we, the humble masses, were finally able to experience his fourth studio album, “Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers.”
Mt. Joy reach new peak with ‘Orange Blood’
(06/22/22 7:00am)
The power of music is in the connections we form with songs. My favorite songs are a soundtrack for my personal narrative — a way to remember people and events: my friends at the Cardinal, for instance. I would never have known of Mt. Joy had it not been for my first co-editor.
Ain’t Too Proud: Tempting the Jukebox Musical Towards Something Great
(06/20/22 7:00am)
“Ain’t Too Proud” follows the story of The Temptations: their humble origins, their triumphs across genres and their interpersonal trials and tribulations. It’s a jukebox musical but not the kind we are used to.

(06/16/22 7:00am)
At approximately 9:17 PM, Milwaukee’s BMO Harris Pavilion came to life with colored lights sweeping across the stage and “Down With The Sickness” by hard rock band Disturbed blaring. The audience responded promptly to this influx of sight and sound, shaking the expansive venue floor with its cheers. Smoke poured from the back of the stage and encroached the tall metal barricade behind which fans writhed in anticipation.

RRR: The biggest, most amazing movie you haven’t heard of
(06/06/22 7:00am)
If you’re an American like me who doesn't pay much attention to foreign media, “RRR” may have flown right past your radar. This film was massive beyond massive in its home country of India, but pop culture in the United States has been almost silent. There is no excuse now because I am here to make sure you watch this movie. Do not let yourself miss out on “RRR” because for whatever reason you think it isn’t your thing. Give me the courtesy to convince you this is a must-see.
‘Kao the Kangaroo’ reboot deserves to be taken out back
(05/30/22 7:00am)
“Kao the Kangaroo'' is a 3D platformer collectathon reboot of the original game which came out in the early 2000s when that genre was all the rage. However, next to “Gex,” “Banjo-Kazooie,” “Donkey Kong 64,” “Spyro” and other classics, “Kao the Kangaroo” was forgotten. And, ultimately, playing this reboot failed to make me care.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” directed by Sam Raimi and written by Michael Waldron and Jane Bartlett, is the second of six movies and television shows set to be released by Marvel Studios in 2022. While this new film is fresh and engaging, it is sorely lacking in several respects.

Lyrical Lore in The Mountain Goats’ Discography & Civilization
(05/28/22 6:04pm)
The Mountain Goats have a cult-like following, to say the least. The audience had a strong presence at the Sylvee, so much so that it defined the night. What The Mountain Goats lack in vocal talent, they make up for in community-building among their fanbase and vivid lyricism.
