Dumbledore's Army Invades ASU

The Harry Potter franchise, though complete in print and nearly finished making movies, still manages to bring students together, building friendships and inspiring them to fight the world's real-life dark arts.

Geekin’ It: Rage Guy Faces

On any message board, you’re going to see your average cast of characters. The Courage Wolves, Karate Kyles, or Charlie Sheens are all Internet regulars.

Non-Required Reading: What Boom Studio Is Missing

Hey! Remember the guy in the picture? Well if you do, then we can be friends. If you don’t, just move along… Last time (link), I told you how Boom Studios was pulling all of your favorite '90s ridiculousness and making them into comics. Well, they’ve just been getting started, so there’s still so much more for them to do. For some reason, my warped mind immediately wants a Bonkers comic book.

Palm Walk Runway: Rays of Sunshine

With the sun deciding to make a lasting appearance, the shades begin to unleash themselves. In an earlier blog, I wrote about how to find the right style of jeans for your body type.

Downtown Dispatch: Tammie Coe Deliciousness

Tammie Coe Cakes, one of my favorite sandwich shops, is just down the street from the ASU downtown campus, and is the perfect place for an afternoon lunch date. Tammie Coe Cakes, located right off of Roosevelt and 6th Street, features sandwiches of all kinds, made on the famous MJ Breads that many locals have come to love (they also sell it at La Grande Orange Grocery), as well as yummy pastries, cookies, cakes, coffee, and tea.

Geekin’ It: /b/ and Online Communities

4Chan, Reddit, and thousands of other online communities are the backbone of Internet culture. This week, we’re going to take a look at what compromises these sites and how to start getting involved. 4Chan is described by its users as an “Internet Hate Machine.” 4Chan is a Chan-type message board—a term that comes from the shortened “channel” where users can post images.

Steals From My Sister

Here's a question to ask yourselves, bargain shoppers: Do you need professional clothes? Do you want to treat yourself to an upscale, but reasonable, shopping experience? Step away from Savers and raid My Sister's Closet.

Non-Required Reading: Comics Working Backwards

It’s the week before the week of spring break. Do you know what that means? Absolutely nothing. So, you know how most of the time I talk about comics being adapted into properties that you wouldn’t normally expect? Well, as we’ve firmly established, comics sometimes cross mediums, whether it’s into movies, video games, TV, or what have you. Sometimes though, comics accept licensed properties into their fold and the entire process works backwards. Look to Star Trek, Star Wars, G.I.

Downtown Dispatch: First Friday Fun

First Fridays is coming up this week and I thought it would be nice to share with you a little history on the event, as well as some tips about where to go, where to park, and what you shouldn’t miss while out during FF. During the past several years, FF has seen some major changes.
