Review: Grand Bavarian
July beers are all about drinkability. Sure, have a big, malty barleywine on occasion, but when the heat is on, your body will quickly split with your mind, and it’s gonna want something a bit more drinkable and hydrating. Damn near every beer style out there has a lighter, quenchable subcategory that will keep
Review: Branches and Twigs
If you’re a typical resident of Salt Lake City, or perhaps even just “The West,” there’s a chance that your ancestors aren’t very clear, mentally.

Review: 0RBITALIS
0RBITALIS is a nifty gravity sim that really captured my attention. All you do is release a probe into space and hope it stays in orbit for as long as possible. Each level has different obstacles that you have to contend with, from giant red orbs that act as planets to random geometric shapes that sort of act like moons and asteroids. … read more
Review: American Sniper
While American Sniper is an excellently crafted film about the lonely road that all true heroes must walk, it’s the story that took place behind the scenes that makes the film so much more important. … read more
