The evolving use of chiptune music in games

Originally, chiptune was used in video games because that was really the only option there was – the systems weren’t sophisticated enough to handle, say, a soundtrack of exclusively full orchestral pieces. As systems became better and more complex, many studios and creators moved away from this chiptune and electronic style, in favor of music with real (or at least more realistic-sounding) instruments. But even today, chiptune music still has it…Read Article

Alice explores her tortured version of wonderland not as a passive observer, but as an active participa…Los Angeles, California · Los AngelesRead Article

Rupi Kaur and the Rise of Tumblr Poetry: Does using line breaks make you a poet?

Despite a successful release in 2016, Milk and Honey garnered its fair share of negative attention from poetry fans who claimed that while Kaur’s work was evidently intended as free verse, that it lacked the finesse and proper execution needed in order to differentiate itself from text posts found on teen Tumblr blogs. Similar criticisms have been made of Lang Leav, another Tumblr-based poet. Have these authors paved the way for this style of po…Read Article

“Cobra Kai”: A Critique of Modern Education Systems
