Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014 by Baz Macdonald

Rating: A The successful Kickstarter campaign of Wasteland 2 was a momentous occasion for the gaming industry. Though the first Wasteland game may not be familiar to many of you, no doubt its spiritual predecessor, the Fallout franchise, is. With Wasteland 2, developers Inxile got the Read more...

Faeries

Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014 by Anonymous Bird

Faeries is my all-time favourite book. it’s not your normal novel in any sense of the word – it’s definitely fiction, but it’s also kind of an art book. Froud is probably most known throughout the world for this book in particular. But many of you may recognise his work from The Labyrinth (yeah, Read more...

Classic Film Aladdin, as far as i am concerned, is a timeless classic that represents the pinnacle of Disney. It came out the year I was born and I think I watched it for the first time when I was around a year old. I recently bought the DVD to replace the utterly destroyed VHS of my Read more...

The Maze Runner

Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014 by CJ O'Connor

Rating: A I can honestly say The Maze Runner surprised me. Having seen the shorts of the movie only last week, I was pretty much expecting an incarnation of The Hunger Games. And I did not like The Hunger Games. At all. So while the two franchises have commonalities, I found the plot of Maze Read more...

Custard and raspberry cream doughnuts

Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014 by Sophie Edmonds

I thought I would go out with a bang for the last food column of the year, or at least a sizzle ... the sizzle of fried doughnuts! Doughnuts filled with custard and raspberries, no less. Boom. I regret to say I simultaneously wooed one boy and broke the heart of another with these very doughnuts. I Read more...

Posted 1:49pm Sunday 5th October 2014 by James Beck

Warning: The following critically acclaimed piece contains spoilers of the material in the book. Solace is Caterpillar. Societal image issues. Eating disorder bullshit. Three phrases that come to mind when I think of this book – a book that lures the eyes more than a hair-flicking Robert Read more...
