Game Review: ‘Elden Ring’ is harder than you think

By Erick B. Think of a hard video game you have played in your life and throw it in the garbage because “Elden Ring” will change how you look at levels of difficulty. Now, play “Elden Ring” for a while to get a feel of the game and come back to see if your “hard game” is still harder.  “Elden Ring” is definitely one of the hardest in the Soulsborne series. Elden Ring is an open world, RPG video game developed by FromSoftware and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin, the fantasy novelist who

Music Review: Looking forward to ‘The Weeknd’

Music Review: Looking forward to ‘The Weeknd’

By Heinze L. “You are now listening to 103.5 Dawn FM. You’ve been in the dark for far too long.” We all have listened to The Weeknd at some point, whether it’s by choice or on repeat on the radio — and the radio seems to be an inspiration for his newest album called “Dawn FM.”  “Dawn FM” already hit many sales and streams. Just in the first week, the album hit No. 3 on Top Album Sales and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Very impressive, if I do say so myself. Since then, it

Movie Review: I was expecting more from ‘Morbius’

Movie Review: I was expecting more from ‘Morbius’

By Axel C. The movie “Morbius” is about a doctor-slash-scientist named Micheal Morbius who, due to his award-winning work with synthetic blood, tries to cure himself by injecting bat blood into his own body. The experiment doesn’t go as planned, and throughout the movie, he explores his new, unintentional powers. It looked promising, unfortunately, the writers added too many unneeded stories into the plot. For example, the love interest. It starts off with her being a regular assistant and then later on, with not much explanation, they kiss and are all in love. It felt rushed

Game Review: Don’t buy ‘Call of Duty: Vanguard’

Game Review: Don’t buy ‘Call of Duty: Vanguard’

By Alexis A. There’s no excuse to make such a horrible video game that costs this much. “Call Of Duty: Vanguard” (COD) is not worth the money in the slightest. Its retail price is $60 for last gen consoles and $70 for the new gen. “Call of Duty: Vanguard” is the newest game from the COD franchise. To say the least, it was a disappointment. A gamemode called multiplayer, which is usually the whole reason people buy these games, is full of bugs and glitches. The zombies gamemode, which is another main staple of the series,

TV Review: We need to talk about the fashion in ‘Euphoria’

By Arely V. The HBO show “Euphoria” is a show based on a group of teenagers who have complicated lives, to say the least. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, correct? It has a massive fanbase, especially on TikTok and Twitter. It’s adored for many reasons: the music produced by Labrynth, Zendaya, Zendaya, Zendaya, and its unique cinematography. But the main thing I adore that has come out of Euphoria: the outfits. The bold colors and short skirts are just in general scandalous. Now that some time has passed since the second season finale, let’s dive
