It’s sad but true: there aren’t a lot of Christmas video games out there. Sure, you can dig out your PS2 game adaptation of The Nightmare Before Christmas or load up a holiday-based texture pack in Minecraft or Team Fortress 2, but there’s not a lot else that may be common knowledge (or any good). As a gift to Sheaf readers, here’s a list of holiday and winter-themed games, all of which are enjoyable and a great way to get in the holiday mood while you procrastinate studying for finals. Better yet, they’re all available for free online!

In recent years, there have been few national cinemas as intriguing and accomplished as South Korean cinema.
Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, the directors of Oldboy and The Host, are among the world’s finest directors of genre film. While Lee Chang-dong isn’t a genre filmmaker and is not quite the same caliber a director as his South Korean brethren, his latest film, Poetry is the kind of complex, quiet character study that you won’t find in North America.

There are few things as vulgar as talking about past sexual exploits and alcohol and drug-induced antics. Luckily, when told by the right person, there are also few things as funny.
On Dec. 10, the Jay and Silent Bob comedy duo from Clerks and Mallrats, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, made their way to Saskatoon to perform Jay and Silent Bob Get Old at the Odeon Events Centre. The event was two hours of Smith and Mewes sitting on stage with microphones and recounting endless stories about evertying from the finer points of intimacy to shitting yourself while passed out.

Most students are well aware that, while thousands of dollars are going towards tuition and housing costs, thousands more are being blown on alcohol. For the most part, they are okay with that. Between frosh weeks and regular bar nights, alcohol is a major part of university life at almost any university campus.
However, Canadian universities are breeding grounds for high-level athletes, and this drinking culture is not conducive to creating a world-class athlete.

A handful of University of Alberta classes have introduced Wikipedia to their classrooms as a teaching resource this past semester, despite criticisms about the website’s credibility in educational institutions.
The initiative to integrate Wikipedia into classes began in the United States with the Wikimedia Foundation’s Wikipedia Education Program, but has expanded globally to include classes in Canada and India. Professors use the website by replacing traditional writing or research assignments with students writing Wikipedia articles or improving pre-existing pages.
