Culture: A book of one's own

You probably played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past when you were 11 or 12 on Super Nintendo.
WOTS: Of McQuade and McNabb
There's a bulletin board on the wall of my bedroom that has a collection of press passes from my two-and-a-half years as a sportswriter. It's a pretty impressive collection, if I do say so myself.
Games: Resident Evil Zero
Nintendo GameCube has some sort of obsession with sequels and suffixes. Mario Party 4, Metroid Prime and now -- Resident Evil Zero. After laboring for hours in front of the television, four Street editors revealed the best and worst of Capcom's prequel to the successful survival horror game. Minutes into Resident Evil Zero, I was transported back into eighth grade, playing the original game on Playstation in a friend's basement at 3 a.m.
Film: 'Timeless' toy car story
While most people don't believe that Hollywood is the epicenter of creativity in America, there have been a few recent films that have either told good stories (25th Hour, About Schmidt) or experimented with narrative structure (Adaptation, Chicago). On a recent trip to the movies, however, I was reminded of how poor my beloved film industry has become. Three new films currently in production will make pre-film commercials seem downright charming.
It's a war on war
Maybe Arshad Hasan speaks a bit too loudly. Maybe his views are a bit too leftist to garner the support of many of his politically moderate or apathetic classmates.
Music: It's bigger than hip hop

A waste of 2.2 million bucks
Lately, it seems that more people have been tuning in to the Super Bowl for multi-million dollar advertising than for football.
Gaming: Metroid Prime
I was never a fan of the old Metroid game on the Nintendo Entertainment System. I found it boring and trite, even at the tender age of eight.
Okay Computer
In less than 12 hours, The Roots will release their newest CD, Phrenology, to retail stores -- and there is still much work to be done.

Anyone who has lives in Philadelphia for a considerable period of time knows that visitors, remarkably, are still fascinated with those damn Art Museum steps.
Interview: Sieves, breastplates, and lutefisk
How many Wing Bowls has the Norseman contested in? Cyndy: This is Bruce's first in terms of being a contestant.
Culture: Button your fly
Competing with Old City bars and eateries so chocked full of yuppies that there's barely a place to sit or stand, designer Jeff Low describes Denim's 6,600 square feet as "theater but comfortable." Offset by long, dramatic chiffon curtains and colored light fixtures, Denim's six lounges are a warm but tasteful synthesis of bar stools from Italy, chrome vintage antlers and silver hand-strung beads from a Walgreens after-Christmas sale. While Low does an amazing job creating a versatile denim palace for under a million dollars, the d‚cor is predictable and unflinchingly heterosexual at times.
Magic Eye: Nothing's wrong with nepotism
