Asians in the Western Music World, and No, Not K-Pop
With the success of K-pop boyband BTS at the Billboard Music Awards, winning Top Social Artist two-years in a row in 2017 and 2018, it is undeniable that Asian music and culture is finally starting to enter the Western hemisphere. Progress like this is a welcome sight but is still a small step to getting more Asian representation in the entertainment world.

A Game That Anybody Can, and Everybody Should Play
***THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE*** Finding new games to play is always a struggle. I was never a lineup-at-the-theater to watch a movie type of guy (unless maybe Star Wars); I was more of a wait until it comes out on DVD for rent kind of guy. In that sense, with Steam prices for "new" games like CoD:WWII and Monster Hunter going into the high 50s and 60s, I like to take a look back at what games that I've missed that I can grab at feasible prices. Released for PC in February 2016, Firewatch pulls a decent price of 19.99 USD on Steam (in Canada it costs 21.99 CAD, which means given the current currency exchange rate, it's about $3.2 USD cheaper to buy it in Canada).

Your Next Door Neighbor Is Cheating! - a 5 Step Program
It's 2 AM again. My roommate has gone to bed already, and all is silent save for the quiet hum of the fan and the occasional snore from his bed. It's been a long night of drawing out chemicals—hexagons and pentagons fill my brain. Maybe it's time to head to bed. I do have class at 9 AM tomorrow.
