Plants vs. Zombies was my absolute favorite childhood video game. When I saw anyone who wanted to talk about anything, I would only talk about that game. My Wii username was “sunflower123”, and I called my favorite Mii “sunflower”. When I was 12, I planted flowers in my community with an all-adult volunteer group because…
Is Genshin Impact a free-to-play open-world adventure, or is it the precursor to a gambling problem? Yes. Anyway, I still, in good conscience, recommend Genshin Impact because I believe it’s a forgiving side project. The game is accessible upfront; it’s free-to-play and available on iOS, Android, Windows, and PlayStation. With a solid story and engaging quests, Genshin Impact is…
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription that provides access to a vast library of games for a relatively low price. Rather than paying a lot of money for one game disc, a substantially smaller price can buy you up to months of playing hundreds of different titles. This is similar to how you can watch…
Today marks the first anniversary of the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons (abbreviated as ACNH), the long-awaited next instalment of a much-beloved, twenty-year-old franchise. It’s well known among slice-of-life gamers for its cute graphics, its diverse (and often savage) cast of animal villagers, and the somehow forgivably reassuring nature of its often inefficient and…
Let’s all be honest. The start to the new “20s” has been…suboptimal. With everything that is going on right now, the 1980s seems like the golden age—and not without reason. Modern media influence plays a big role in this, but there were many factors in the 80s itself that make us all wish we could…
Nothing to do at home? No problem. Alberta has just announced that mass gatherings will not be allowed this summer. Yes, this means no Stampede. Even though this measure is very needed, it throws a wrench in the works for students. Many Calgary students rely on these events to participate in the community, and…
Lengthy broadcasts. Endless shoulder content. True, high-level analysis like you have never seen before. Sound familiar? Traditional sports leagues like the NFL, and UFC have used this model for a long time. Now, it will be the model for esports. But even better. According to the Creative Director for B-Site, Duncan Shields, “This will not…

Cloud9 are crashing out of the sky and burning on re-entry. They got absolutely railroaded at Blast Pro Series: Copenhagen 2019. Cloud9 did not win a single map at Blast Pro Series: Copenhagen 2019. They were absolutely dominated by NiP, Astralis, and Liquid even though they themselves seemed out of form. They lost 6-16 against…
Forward Gaming Region: North AmericaClosed Qualifier Result: 7W-0L Forward Gaming, the new kids on the block. They haven’t made much of a splash as of yet, but perhaps that will change with the EPICENTER Major. They’ve struggled to break the top 8 at minor tournaments, struggling to break top 10 at majors, sometimes even failing…
Envy won NPL Royale! Not Tempo Storm! This is great news for the National PUBG League. Tempo Storm has been dominating the NPL, coming in first in the preseason, NPL Royale 1, and Phase 1 of the NPL season. In fact, they’re still 1st place on the leaderboard in Phase 2 of the NPL season.…
What is Hytale? Is it Roblox? Is it Terraria? Many would depict it as the new “Minecraft” or “Minecraft 2” and though it has its similarities it also has its unique gameplay. The name Hytale should sound familiar to Minecraft fans because the most played server on Minecraft, Hypixel are leading this project. Embark on…
