Blink-182 grows up with ‘Neighborhood...
As a non-Blink-182 enthusiast, I was thoroughly looking forward to bashing Blink’s new album, “Neighborhoods.” But alas, I cannot bash it. Strangely, the album is actually good – much better than what I expect from Blink.
Blink released “Neighborhoods” on Sept. 27, eight years after calling it quits after their self-titled album release in 20 [...]
Second City comedy troupe visits FHSU
In Hays, it can sometimes seem difficult to find good entertainment and even more difficult to find a good show. UAB has set out to change that by bringing in a series of great performers this year. First on the slate was the legendary Second City comedy troupe.

I used to frequent quite a few sleepover [...]

Early in 2011 there was a big increase in news stories about the zodiac.
Most major news companies ran a story on the claim tha [...]
Reddit: scum of the Internet
Anderson Cooper, CNN’s resident silver fox, set an interesting target in his sights last week: the internet. More specifically, Cooper attacked the popular social site Reddit for its controversial hosting of child pornography and a not-pornographic-but-still-morally-disgusting section of the website titled “Jailbait,” which is pictures of chi [...]
New ‘FIFA’ game too alike older itera...
Another year, another “FIFA.”
As we’ve come to expect from EA Sports, every year brings a new edition of an old sports game, always with the most unimaginative titles possible. “FIFA 12” comes after “FIFA 11?” How novel.
Unfortunately, we’ve also come to expect what I like to call “Madden Syndrome”: each video game, regardless of sport, is ba [...]
