Heading into the final weeks of the regular season, many Ball State Athletic teams are looking for big wins going into the conclusion of the fall season. Here’s what’s in store for this weekend.
‘Trench’ truly could have easily been another ‘Blurryface,' but Twenty One Pilots put in the effort to create a better, more unique experience for the listener. The incredible production elevates the music to another level and compliments the melodies sung by Tyler Joseph. The story of the album is dense and worth diving into. But the main feature is how the music constantly changes while still feeling like a cohesive record. For those who have not listened to Twenty One Pilots, this album is definitely worth listening to. For the fans of Twenty One Pilots, this albums serves as a high point in their discography that you will love.
'Forza Horizon 4' offers some of the most fluid and unique experiences that any racing fan would be dying to have. Unfortunately, the scale seems to tip in both directions when considering the little tweaks that throw the whole engine out of whack. It seems in this iteration, the British edition of the horizon festival gets caught in the commuter lane.
It is common for a college town to be decked out in banners during Homecoming week, but this year, the messages on them say more than, “Go Cardinals!”
Even if it is not quite as fully developed, fresh, or intriguing as its predecessor, THINK: PEACE is still a strong sophomore record from Clarence Clarity that further proves that he’s one of the most inventive, forward-thinking producers out there. It also is a perfect record for people wanting to listen to Clarence Clarity for the first time. His trademark glitchy, maximalist production is still intact, but it’s toned down and Clarence’s talent as a songwriter takes the front seat. Everything is a bit more streamlined, for better or worse.
For their Homecoming show, the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band will perform a centennial-related routine to celebrate Ball State’s 100-year anniversary during the Homecoming football game.
Scheumann Stadium seats 22,500 fans. Ball State has seen “The Scheu” fill up to just north of 70 percent (15,873) during Family Weekend. In the Cardinals’ other three home games this year, the average attendance comes out to less than 9,000.
Tears streamed down a distraught mother’s face. Friends and family members reached out to each other for a hug, anything to anchor them and keep them grounded.
'Mega Man 11' is everything fans were hoping for and more. Even with subpar sound design, everything else from the visuals to the level design to the minute-to-minute gameplay is Mega Perfection. A franchise as battered and bruised as 'Mega Man' deserves this kind of relief. With this kind of title bringing glory back to the name of the Blue Bomber, one can only hope this ushers in a new era of 'Mega Man' goodness.
Some artists establish a name for themselves through the work they share with the world, but others already have a name that comes with a reputation before their careers even begin.
Nearly every day of my Monday through Friday work week is a 12 hour day. Some are even 15 hour days.
‘Nigerian Prince’ is a dark (and scarily relevant) look into the financial underworld of Nigeria, held back by a fairly scattered story and an emphasis on style over substance. That said, when it hits its stride, you’re practically begging for it to take your money, and when it falls, it’s like the stock market. It sinks.
Homecoming brought Ball State students, staff and faculty more edible celebration with The Dinner of the Century Wednesday.
Weather Forecaster Hannah Stutler has your update on rain chances and a beautiful week ahead.
For both newcomers and veterans of ‘My Hero Academia,’ ‘My Hero Academia: Two Heroes’ captures your attention from the start. Class 1-A are their usual loveable selves, especially Bakugo, and the few new characters were memorable. Some background was given for All Might, so it was neat to see the No. 1 hero when he was younger. The fighting sequences were action-packed and just beautiful to watch. The animation looked amazing, and ‘My Hero Academia: Two Heroes’ proved just how much better MHA would be if it were always on the big screen.
Whether the Cardinals are winning or losing, the Ball State cheerleading team and Code Red dance team are always on the sidelines dawning the red and white, cheering on their Cardinals to a victory.
Rather than walking to Scheumann Stadium to watch the Cardinals take on the Eagles, students will have an option with wheels.
Even if the story doesn’t bring anything new to the table, 'A Star Is Born' is still a solid execution of a tried and true story. Much of the thanks has to go to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, whose chemistry was gold. Their solo performances also deserve to win gold, Oscars, that is. This may just be remembered as one of the high points of Lady Gaga’s career. She finally got the chance to prove herself as an actor on the silver screen, have her name in the same group as icons such as Garland and Streisand, and release a song (“I Will Never Love Again”) that is bound to become a classic power ballad along the lines of “I Will Always Love You” and “My Heart Will Go On”. It’s a wonderful start for what could be an illustrious career in film, and solid proof that Lady Gaga will most likely go down as one of most memorable, beloved artists of this decade.
When the neighbor’s cat began showing up to band practice, four Ball State students couldn’t help but attribute their name to their biggest fan. The cat has since moved away, but his legacy lives on in Porch Kat’s name.
Five individuals affiliated with Ball State University have been arrested for accessing child porn, a few even accessing that material on university grounds.
