And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. -Revelations 12:9 The Gothic, as a subgenre of the romantic, has always been invested in the sublime and the supernatural.

This week, Morgan reviews the first two Five Nights at Freddy’s games, it having seemed like a good idea at the time Does the world still feel the after-effects of 2020 and thus adopted the mindset that it’s in fact six years earlier? I mean, 2014 was fine, I suppose, provided I don’t look at […]
This week, Morgan reviews New Super Mario Bros Wii. There was meant to be a joke here, but it was forgotten in the time it took to get the title down. Is it kosher to compare the Mario series to the final days of Jesus Christ? Nintendo can publicly execute both him and his image […]
The year is 2012, Taylor Swift has just released her pop/country crossover album ‘Red’, and Jake Gyllenhaal is public enemy no.1. The first release of the album was met with both critical and public acclaim, reflected in impressive record sales and chart positioning. Today nearly 10 years on, in what feels like a revival of […]
With the sun setting at 4 pm, exams right around the corner, and break seeming so close yet so far away make sure to give yourself a break and still prioritize your mental health! I say this because in the midst of my deadlines as well as other writers we’ve unfortunately not published much this […]
This week, Morgan reviews Batman: Arkham Asylum, in order to postpone the horror of having to get an actual job Hello, national St Andrews’ audience. Just your daily reminder that I’m a Batman fan and would be willing to kill if it meant I got the chance to bring Bob Kane back from the grave […]
I have said this many times before but I really love dystopian fiction. From ‘The War of the Worlds’ to the ‘Time Machine’, I’ve always enjoyed reading about a twisted dark future for humanity. Although I’m an optimist I’m intrigued to read other people’s ideas about it. Without a doubt, my favourite dystopian author is […]
Episode 4 It’s episode four, and you know what that means…GIRL GROUP CHALLENGE!!! It’s got a lot to live up to from last season and the iconic UK Hun? Following her win last week, Scarlett Harlett gets to be team captain, and so does Vanity Milan after winning another lip-sync. Scarlett choses Kitty Scott Claus, […]
Right now, as we gear up to host COP 26, the UK government are setting out to approve the creation of a new oil field off the coast of Scotland. The emissions from the proposed extraction of 170 million barrels of oil would be equivalent to the annual carbon pollution from 18 coal-fired power stations. And […]
We all have that one playlist that puts anything you’ve ever heard in the Union to shame.There’s a certain rush in your ears when you go to put in your headphones—even your bodyknows that bliss is on the way. Making that perfect playlist, however, might be one of the hardestthings to do. Whether you’re a […]
It is a source of pride for me that I am the proud owner of not one, not two but three 1970’s cookbooks. Being a benevolent and generous lady of culture, I have decided to share some of these recipes with you—roughly once a month, actually. This week, I will be blessing you with enchilada […]
‘This film is dedicated to all those whose sole source of indignation is a trampled-on trifle.’ The final line of Chytilová’s brilliantly eclectic, infectious film seems to be written in anticipation of its condemnation by, among others, the Czechoslovak Communist Party. If you’re more concerned with the destruction of a trifle than the real world, […]
It’s (already!) episode three and the competition is heating up. And by that, I mean 2 queens were sent home this week. Starting on a sad note, Victoria Scone had to exit the competition. I’m not ashamed to admit that I did tear up, even though I knew it was going to happen, it was […]
I’ve always loved fashion! And I think it’s fascinating looking at how fashion has developed over the ages and how our notion of beauty continues to change with the times. This article asks the question- if you could travel back to any historical period of time where you could experience the fashion or even wear […]
Raised in Kent, the county dubbed as the Garden of England, it is easy to be swept up by the wide expanses of green fields and glimmering blue seascapes. Perhaps that is why I have always felt such an affinity for the works of the Romantics, with Wordsworth, in particular, capturing my imagination; there is […]
Fall is well underway and October is here, meaning the holy trinity of months is upon us and it’s time to break out the fisherman sweaters, start perfecting your hot chocolate recipe and sit down for the annual viewing of the Meg Ryan Trilogy. You know, only the most wonderfully classic fall-into-winter rom-coms ever made. […]
It’s Thursday night and Drag Race is back baby!!! Even though it’s only been four weeks since All Stars 6 finished (woop woop Kylie!!), and it’s only another two until Drag Race Canada starts, we’ve missed our weekly drag race fix. And it only makes sense that Eve and I, two people who have absolutely […]
This week, Morgan reviews Portal 2, mainly as motivation to get out of bed in the morning You know me, I consider the day wasted if I haven’t discovered three plots to kill me by lunchtime. At worst, the whole week is a bust if I can’t play a game that involves obliterating fifteen terrorists […]
