Editorial: Poster vandals crossed the lineRacial stereotyping unacceptable 2010-03-04 - Editorial - Grafitti on Students' Union election candidates' posters is par for the course. Unfortunately, this year the graffiti has gone farther than mere obscenities. Ola Mohajer and Hara Madri, two visibly Muslim candidates, had their campaign posters vandalized with racial slurs.

(4 comments)  Mass Effect 2's overall Sheen suffers from flaws2010-01-28 - Video Games - Bioware has crafted another fun, yet flawed, space romp with Mass Effect 2. The Edmonton-based video game developer's sequel to their extremely popular 2007 space opera focuses on expanding the game's universe and adding new races and moral choices to their futuristic sci-fi military shooter.

Sheppard is later reborn at the hands of Cerberus, a paramilitary organization which acted as a peripheral villain in the original game. Whole colonies of humans are disappearing and Sheppard sets out to investigate with the backing of the Martin Sheen-voiced Illusive Man, a man whose surgically too-perfect complexion doesn't betray his mysterious nature.

Radiopark offers live music and comfortable atmosphere for students 2010-01-21 - Venues - If Chris Jamieson, the manager of Radiopark music room, looks familiar to some University of Calgary students, it's probably because they've spent far too much time at the Den.

"I think it speaks volumes about the Den to say that it is a safe, friendly, comfortable place where university students can go and be themselves and I certainly wanted [that] to stand true in any establishment that I direct." More...  Entering the era of Gaga2010-01-14 - Column - Music industry bigwigs are complete misogynists. This isn't a new sentiment. Label heads and A&R representatives are always looking for the next big thing by looking backward to past trends and this time they're looking for ladies to rule the charts. With Lady Gaga's incredible breakthrough, as well as Susan Boyle and Taylor Swift capturing the hearts of millions this year, it appears that the labels have made their choice: women are the key to financial success in 2010. In a recent Reuters article with Q Magazine, editor Paul Rees said that, "If you look at all the things that are being teed up by the major labels, most of them are solo female artists." More...  Gift cards suck: the Gauntlet gift guide2009-12-03 - No one wants, nor needs, a manicure set for Christmas.
