The moment you turn on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you might as well kiss 100-plus hours of your life goodbye.
There are few games like Skyrim. Bethesda’s greatest triumph is in making a game that is so engrossing, it can literally replace your life. Video games have always aspired to be virtual reality. Skyrim gets as close to that goal as any game ever.

The current exhibition at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery is Construct!, an MFA visual arts exhibition showcasing work from students of both the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan. This show not only provides art lovers with an opportunity to view work from artists they may not be familiar with, but also with a chance to muse upon the flavourful collision of artists navigating through the Masters program.

In the market for some new artwork to brighten up that dilapidated hovel you call a home? Why not stop by the VASU art auction, Silence!, and take your pick from a selection of fantastic pieces of student artwork. Everything is reasonably priced, and you can gorge yourself on fancy hor d’oeuvres to your heart’s content. There’s even going to be a live DJ — none of that elevator music in the background bullshit. Buying anything at the event supports student artists and future exhibitions.

Tarsem Singh’s sword-and-sandals epic plays fast and loose with traditional mythology, but exhibits an astounding artistic style. The story centres around King Hyperion (who is not actually a mythical figure), embarking on a conquest of all of Greece. He plans to do this by obtaining the most powerful weapon known to humanity, the mystical Epirus Bow, which can then be used to free the Titans from the depths of Tartarus.

At the age of 17, Mike Thompson-Hill dropped out of high school and began a career in tattooing. 16 years later he says he has seen the industry relocate from the fringes of society to the mainstream.
A couple decades ago, tattoos were still largely seen as the domain of sailors, bikers or prisoners. But from the hugely successful Miami Ink (and its spinoffs LA Ink, London Ink and NY Ink) to the recently released “Tattoo Barbie,” tattoos are now undeniably widespread.

lint Eastwood’s latest biopic, J. Edgar, narrows in on the life of the first FBI director who led the agency from 1935 to 1972. Starring a beady-eyed Leonardo DiCaprio (who excels in playing these unorthodox characters) one can’t help but form expectations for a bullet-laden historical thriller. However, Eastwood takes an unforeseen direction and guides the film with a top-secret romantic plot that touches on Hoover’s alleged homosexuality.

Waiting for the Parade does more than just reflect on war, past and present, and the way it has shaped our country; it interacts with the past in a way that is full of love and vitality, and it takes hold of the audience with its continuing sense of urgency.
