NCC Students

 With the semester coming to a close, I would like to share my favorite memory of NCC of Spring 2021. For me, it would be when I first got back on campus after half a year online. It was just really nice to walk around campus, sitting face to face (but still six feet apart), with my friends. And with so many other Americans getting vaccinated, we might be able to be 100% in person by the start of the Summer semester.  But what was your favorite NCC memory? let me know in the comments, and have a great day.

 There's only one month to go before our Spring 2021 students graduate. In leu of this occasion, I want us to look back at our time at NCC. For me, my best memory of NCC comes when I met new friends when I joined Nerd Club. I remember discussing the latest game or movie with them, and playing Magic The Gathering in our spare time. I haven't been able to meet with any of them since the pandemic began, but I'm hoping to play one last game in person some day.      But what are your fondest memories of NCC? share them in the comments below, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

      With the success of films such as Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog, and with the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot looking amazing, it seems like the video game movie curse has finally been lifted. But that doesn't mean we can't appreciate some of the past video game adaptations that paved the way to this modern renascence of the genre.     For example, the original  Mortal Kombat movie, while cheesy, tame on violence, and having an admittedly bad script, is still a really fun action film that introduced many western audiences to Hong Kong style action, years before The Matrix hit theaters.      We also can't forget the impact of the original animated Pokémon movies had on the box office. It's very likely that those film's success is part of the reason why the franchise is still thriving  to this day.      But I have a question for you, what video game movies do you think are underappreciated? Ar...

            Everyone who has worked in food service knows that Karens are the worst. They confront you about the littles things (sometimes for no reason at all), they belittle you at every opportunity, and they are constantly asking to see the manager, hoping to see you punished for just doing your job. The worst part, you have to take it all without the slightest hint of sass, or else your the bad guy in your employer's eyes. But what if you worked at a restaurant that would not only take your side, but actively encouraged sassy behavior? That's were my idea comes in, "The Haven from Karen Dinner and Grill".      Inspired by a Hungarian  restaurant from State College, PA, that would paddle guests that didn't finish their food; this Dinner's staff is encouraged to finish every customer interaction with a bit of sass. They are encouraged to welcome every guess with a sarcastic remark like "welcome to Haven From Karen, would...

            This past Sunday was Easter, and while my family and I had the usually fixings of ham and potatoes, we also tried something new, a recipe for stuffed artichokes. We decided to give the recipe a shot after getting it and the artichokes in a produce box that we get bi-weekly. And I have to say it, it was delicious. The recipe was from the Food Network website, liked here:  https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/stuffed-artichokes-recipe-2107705 .      I recommend that you give it a try yourself, though there are some thing you should know that the recipe doesn't tell you.       First, most people don't know ho to eat an artichoke, and even I had to look up videos before chowing down. Basically, you peel off a leaf and use you teeth to scrape off the "meat" from the leaf. you continue to to do this step until you reach its center and the leaves are all gone.      Sec...
