This week marks the beginning of March and gamers are in for quite the treat. Gamers have been leery about the next generation of consoles due to the lack of games, however there are plenty of games coming out to keep everyone occupied until more triple A games come out. Episode 2 of Telltale Games’ “The Walking Dead: Season 2” is dropping March 4.
Former “Ghostbusters” star Harold Ramis died Feb. 24 at the age of 69. Ramis was many things — actor, writer, director and producer — but for many of us he will be remembered for one thing and one thing only, being Dr. Egon Spengler in “Ghostbusters.” However, Ramis has done so much more than act in the franchise we all know and love.

Last Wednesday evening was not the typical open mic night at the Thought Lot, which presented a night of stand-up comedy and indie rock.
When I first sat down in Memorial Auditorium on Thursday to see “The Vagina Monologues,” I was not really sure what to expect.
Borrowing a graphical style from the 80s and game mechanics from the 90s, Dong Nguyen had a seemingly overnight hit on his hands, but he let it go; leaving the over 50 million people who had already downloaded it to wonder, “Why?” Flappy Bird was created by one man and released for free on both iOS and Android, the two major smartphone operating systems.
It is very obvious to me now that the theme of this year’s best picture nominees is a top of the line ensemble of today’s top actors and actresses.
The biggest question that has been floating around the tech and video game world for the past few months has been straight forward: “Are you going next gen?” For many, this means possibly getting rid of their Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 for an Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
The past week has been very busy in the Huber Art Center, where two new exhibits were opened in the Kauffman and Brindle galleries.
“Who will make sure that the Statue of David is still standing, and the Mona Lisa is still smiling?” This is the single idea that viewers of the recently released film “The Monuments Men” will question throughout the film.
Everyone has shared an awkward moment at one time or another, but director Tom Gormican takes it to a whole other level in his film “That Awkward Moment.” Gormican started as a director with the blundering failure “Movie 43” and those of you who missed it, consider yourselves lucky.
