A little more than three weeks have passed since Apple’s latest tech, the Airpods Pro, was released for purchase. The new Airpods come equipped with outside noise-cancelling technology and a 24 hours-of-charging battery life for the charging case. The new pair is assuredly the new fad, but obtaining one comes at a surprising $250. Are they really worth the elevated price?

The short answer is “it depends.” It depends on the financial status of the consumer. If you are a person who does not have to sweat about $250, then these are definitely worth purchasing. If you are a person living paycheck to paycheck, then I suggest waiting until you receive gift cards (like myself) or wait until they come on sale.

​In recent years, Justin Bieber has become a household name— especially if you have a teenage girl living with you. He first became a pop sensation back in 2009 and his since grown into one of the most popular artists in the world. Granted, the twenty-two year old hasn’t made the best choices in the past few years, his music has remained the same—catchy beats, meaningful lyrics, and memorable instrumentals.

Desperation, a horror novel by Stephen King, is a definite read for any suspense fan. While it is a lengthy read, and cannot be put down for long periods of time (since the plot can get very involving), it is worth the time to give a read, not for the faint of heart.

The novel takes place in the state of Nevada in an appropriately named town, Desperation. The story is set from multiple people's point of view as they travel down Highway 50

For those who failed to take on David Foster Wallace’s brick-of-a-novel "Infinite Jest"--and many did-- his earlier novel "The Broom of the System" appears more approachable, both in volume and in context. Still, despite its friendly appearance, "The Broom of the System" is not something to undermine. ​Even if it’s “no 'Infinite Jest' ”, it’s signature DFW in its fractured plot, excessive and philosophical details, and partially developed themes that leave much interpretation up to the reader. It manages to give the audience the satisfaction of a complete novel while leaving much of the plot unfinished.

"Pokken Tournament" is a fairly new game released by the Nintendo cooperation. Its official release date was March 18, 2016, for the WiiU. This game is very unlike the usual pokemon games Nintendo releases. Instead of an overworld game where the player would travel a region, catching Pokemon, the game seems to be a mix of Namco’s Tekken franchise, with some aspects of Street Fighter, and displaying Pokemon. The game is shown to be 3D, the “most 3D” game the Pokemon franchise has released yet. The art style of Pokken Tournament is fairly realistic and has a small felt look to it. It is a very colorful, spectacular, and visually pleasing game nonetheless.
