Gen-Z Rebellion: Straw Hat Pirates
by Leigh Wingfeld A cartoon skeleton adorned with a straw hat flies high in the air, the smoke of rebellion alongside it. This sounds like a scene out of a comic, but this scene played out in Indonesia, Nepal, and the Philippines recently. The flag is from One Piece, the popular anime from Japan. How […]
Geek Culture in Costume: Cosplay
by Leigh Wingfeld As we approach Halloween, many people are picking out their costumes. Some anime, comic, and video game fans take this costuming to a different level, often referred to as cosplay.

Campus Car Reviews: 2005 Suzuki Verona
by Connor Parks 2005 Suzuki Verona LX (owned by Oliver Levi) To most, what you see here is a very basic looking car, and just that. To car fans (in the US, at least), it’s a curiosity. It checks all the boxes for something that should exist, some generic economic sedan that should’ve been sold […]
