If you are an Internet-savvy youngster, then you’ve probably come across what is known as a “screamer.” Your friends showed you a video or had you play a flash game that was seemingly innocent until a scary image suddenly pops onto the screen accompanied by a loud scream that nearly scared the crap out of you. You got scared...
It’s that time of the quarter again. You dare not speak its name — your scar will burn too badly. Though we would never wish them upon anybody, finals have arrived again. For some of us, that means Scantrons and tests aplenty, while others have an endless amount of essays to juggle. To accompany this madness, a soundtrack can...
The Voice Studio of Dr. Camelia Voin hosted a concert Friday night to showcase the talent of UCR students as well as a few special guests. Doors opened around 7 p.m. and let in an audience that consisted mostly of what appeared to be family members and friends of the performers. Fidgety children roamed around while people continued to...
To Charles Evered, the story of the typical war veteran — and how veterans in general are treated once they return home — makes for something worth telling. “There’s always this stereotype of the war veteran with the 1,000-yard stare and the huge chip on his shoulder,” Evered said. “Like any stereotype, this dehumanizes what it actually means to...
After seven years and a handful of disagreements and reconciliations, it seems we’re finally getting “A Better Tomorrow,” what is rumored to be the last Wu-Tang Clan album. Whether it’s arguments over the artistic direction of the crew or people getting short-changed during business agreements, it seems like the Wu isn’t short of controversy. Nonetheless, this aging group of...
When I was brainstorming ideas for what to write in my first column, I thought, “What better way to start a fashion column on campus than by showcasing student style?” Borrowing the style of “Humans of New York,” I found students around campus with interesting outfits, snapped their photo and asked them a few questions about their style. It’s...
I became a fan of Giraffage (aka Charlie Yin) after hearing his track “Music Sounds Better With You” on one of Clothesencounter’s YouTube videos. As hipster as I may sound, I love the underground electronic music world he occupies. I was stoked to hear that his new EP “No Reason” came out about two weeks ago, and it has...
Bioware has been in an awkward position for the past few years. Their last two releases, “Mass Effect 3” and “Dragon Age II,” were met with much more negative reviews than usual, and it seems that Bioware is trying to win back some of their longtime fans with Dragon Age: Inquisition — the third installment in their fantasy RPG...
“If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of The Babadook.”
With little to no major marketing this horror film has flown under the radar of many moviegoers. “The Babadook” is an Australian horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent. Based on Kent’s short film “Monster,” “The Babadook” tells the tale of Amelia...
“The Road Trip” is a strange episode of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” in large part because the main plot isn’t about police work. While this has happened before on the show, the non-police episodes were generally about the ensemble, and many of them were holiday-centric. “The Road Trip” takes Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) out of their usual environment...
