MULE
Monday, May 18th, 2020 Ten weeks already? Wow, this is week ten of my quarantine blogs. That is just mind-boggling. To think that I have been sharing part of my life with the internet for that long… holy moly guacamole. Am I the only one that’s a little blown away by that? I guess we… Read more »

“Better Call Saul” Season Five: Showing its characters’ fall from grace
“Better Call Saul” took some time to find its footing. Its first few seasons can feel uneven. The show eventually settled into its style, and each season became better than the last. The show’s fifth season continues this trend. This season is better than the rest, though it still has a few of the same… Read more »
A worthy follow-up: “Doom: Eternal”
2016’s hellish shooter “Doom” is a game that knows what it is: a ludicrous, blood-pumping ride that puts the player in control of a demon-slaying/crushing/tearing/ripping/pounding juggernaut. I can say with sheer certainty that “Doom” is one of the very rare games that left my heart pounding minutes after each demon swarm. It was worth all… Read more »
A letter from an essential worker
I want to start this letter out by apologizing to all my professors. During this time I have not been doing my best with homework and projects because it is hard to find the time. I am trying my best to keep up with everything. During the first week of quarantine I struggled with all… Read more »
National Lampoon’s “Animal House:” The college movie to end all college movies
No movie has changed the way people view college life more than “Animal House.” Even though it was made over forty years ago, you can still find people referencing it. The film has made such a big impact that it has partly led to the image of college and fraternity life being nothing but a… Read more »
The future of VOD & movie theaters
Amidst the ongoing Coronavirus crisis, companies are rummaging around on how to save themselves. Restaurants are turning against dine-in, necessities are becoming more and more limited during the so-called toilet paper epidemic, and I learned just a few days ago that GameStop is somehow still in business. Needless to say, whether we like it or… Read more »
Blogs from a quarantined college student: Week two
Monday, March 23rd, 2020 Just another day As much as I love the rain, I would LOVE for some sunshine right about now. This weather is terribly dismal at this point and I would really enjoy some warmer weather so I could get outside this week. I’d love to spend some quality time repotting my… Read more »
Blogs from a quarantined college student: Week one
Tuesday: March 17th, 2020 Hello friends 🙂 I never really saw myself as a writer, as much as I love literature and reading, yet here I am. Writing. For the newspaper. This was NOT part of my job description. My name is Maddy Harrison and I am the multimedia editor for the UCM Muleskinner (that… Read more »
Mapping Against Mediocrity: Strategy in horror
Survival horror is a tricky genre to develop for. Immersion is even more important to the genre than it is elsewhere. A single misstep will take players out of the experience, turning a nightmare into nothing more than a mediocre mess. Many games have tried (and failed), to push the envelope in horror. Horror games… Read more »
“Sonic the Hedgehog” – A fun tribute to a classic character, but nothing more
When the trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog” was first released, it was terrible. The design for Sonic was horrible. From the clips that were shown, “Sonic the Hedgehog” looked like it was going to be the latest in a long line of bad CGI-hybrid films such as the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” or “Smurfs” franchises. … Read more »
