In short

After being vacant for almost four months, the campus sustainability coordinator position was filled yesterday by Noelle Studer, former sustainability coordinator for Portland Community College.

Death becomes her

Sometimes life can feel like too much to handle. The world can feel cold and uncaring. The pressures of expectations–your own and others–build up to such a level that you might wish you could just escape from it all.

Let the bloodshed begin

To say that videogame developer Goichi Suda makes weird games would be an understatement. In a world of knockoff Grand Theft Auto and Halo clones, Suda 51 (go-ichi translates roughly to 5 and 1 in Japanese) games deliver offbeat, stylish and violent (oh-so-violent) experiences, where fighting headless Japanese businessmen and filming up-skirt shots of female news reporters for “erotic” points is common practice.
