The Lunchbox Interview: Elizabeth Effinger (Queer Research Day)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Sometimes, things are only obvious is retrospect, such as the idea of focusing discussions on any particular group in society.

My guest today is Elizabeth Effinger, member of the Department of English at UNB, and one of the organizers of the full-schedule Queer Research Day conference. She joins me to talk about how the idea came about, the support received for the idea, and some of the topics that people will be talking about on the day.

The Queer Research Day conference will be held at UNB and STU on Friday, March 31, starting at 8:30am and running right to 6pm. For a full schedule or to register, visit unb.ca/qrd.

This episode dipped into new Metal from Coast to Coast! From Vancouver with my good bud’s ’88 Mile Trip’ over to Calgary with some brand new ‘Napalmpom’, OK I skipped the prairie provinces AND Ontario but the next province was Quebec with ‘Special Ops’ who will be coming to Fredericton in May. Also from Quebec I played the astounding ‘Chronicles of Israfel’, rumor has it, this is one ‘kid’ who wrote and recorded this album, if true, it’s absolutely flooring and even if it was a group of guys who wrote and recorded the album, it’s still bloody amazing!

For Honor Review

Posted on by Posted in Video Game Reviews

Ubisoft Brings us another new title showing there not afraid to take risks when it comes to trying something new. For Honor brings us some of histories greatest and noble warriors, the Vikings, Knights, and Samurais squaring off in a history battle royal.

For Honor is a great concept with a wonderful, fresh and unique battle system that delivers well. You start off the game creating an emblem on a shield, after that is complete you have the choice of playing through single player or multiplayer; there is no really point in playing single player unless you want to unlock stuff (This is mainly a Multiplayer game). From there you can choose which multiplayer mode you want to take part in, duel ( 1 VS 1), Dominion ( 4 VS 4), and Brawl ( 2 VS 2). I really enjoyed playing duel the most the other ones I was carrying the people I was playing with and then getting destroyed; after you choose the mode you want to play you choose the faction you want to represent, and from there you can choose three or four different warriors from that faction that are all unique with different weapons and move sets.

For Honor is a solid game with a cool concept and great gameplay, but it suffers terribly from the peer to peer network it can take minutes to connect to an opponent, while in game your opponent can glitch out on you so much making it impossible to play and giving you a loss that is a huge problem.

For Honor 5/10

CH04: LGBTQ+ Issues on Campus and Life

Posted on by Posted in STU Lunchbox, The Credit Hour

“The Credit Hour” is an irregular series of hour-long programs replacing The Lunchbox, prepared and presented by STU Journalism.

Coming out inside the campus bubble: what is it like to be queer and here? How many sociology classes does it take to turn you queer? Does polyamory mean “the more, the merrier” or is there something deeper? When it comes to queer community, is STU the campus that comes out on top? What’s it like to be straight on a gay island? And what’s it like to swim ashore?
