Rating: A- I knew very little about Zootopia before I saw it, so I’ll admit I was expecting some kind of strange Madagascar knock-off. Luckily I was wrong.  Instead, Zootopia is about a world run by animals that have evolved from their ‘savage’ days of being predators Read more...

Mind of Mine - Zayn Malik

Posted 12:53pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Millicent Lovelock

When Zayn started releasing singles post-One Direction I was worried that it was going to take him an album and a bit to get into the swing of things. I wasn’t overly impressed by ‘Pillowtalk’, although it is a catchy tune I don’t think it is all that cohesive, and Read more...

Don’t Starve - Shipwrecked

Posted 12:58pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by James Tregonning

Rating: A- Don’t Starve was originally released for PC in 2013, and was pretty successful, getting a PS4 port the next year. It’s a survival game in which you, a scientist named Wilson, have meddled with powers beyond your ken and have been sucked into an unknown world, where you have Read more...

Why do we need..augmented reality?

Posted 1:00pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Anthony Marris

Augmented reality (AR) is where applications on mobile and tablet devices are able to use both the camera lens and a database to add additional information onto a real world scene in real time (or near to).

Florence and the Uffizi Gallery

Posted 12:37pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Jessica Thompson

Rating: B+ Florence and the Uffizi Gallery is my entire art history course for this semester. But try not to let that put you off.

The Man Behind the Pope

Posted 12:39pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Andrew Kwiatkowski

Rating: 0/5 or anything less than zero, or the lowest letter grade possible Fresh from my Grandmother’s funeral mass and with great trepidation I marched into the theatre to watch a film about the head Catholic honcho, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, or as you know him, the incumbent Pope Francis.

Fashion Rules OK

Posted 1:13pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Monique Hodgkinson

There comes a point in each semester when the uni’s endless sea of stripes, denim, grey, black and white becomes a bit too monotonous to bear. At this point, vintage fashion never fails to provide a fresh and energising splash of colour. Fashion Rules OK, the new exhibition at the University Read more...

Behaving Yourself At Gigs

Posted 12:43pm Sunday 17th April 2016 by Millicent Lovelock

The Dunedin music scene is now living in a post-Chick’s Hotel wasteland. We’ve lost our best venue, the venue where there were gigs worth going to, and it’s going to take a while to get back on our feet. But, when we do, we’re going to have to have gigs in Read more...
