One hundred sixty-three. That’s how many attempts it took me to complete all three levels in the Crash Bandicoot 4 demo, now available to anyone who digitally pre-ordered the game on Playstation 4 or Xbox One. I know this, because the game has a counter in its upper-right hand corner to remind you of your […]
Do you praise the performance of the underdog or do you bury the team many believed was the NBA’s best after they were embarrassed in Game 7 and choked away a golden opportunity? It’s always easier to pile onto the loser, but the Clippers deserve to be ridiculed and ripped to shreds for one of […]
Crazy; it’s been twenty years since Almost Famous, Cameron Crowe’s love letter to his days as a teenage rock reporter, was released. During his time at Rolling Stone, Crowe toured with the Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. For the iconic magazine he also conducted interviews with the likes of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, […]
There is a row of cardboard boxes filled with unpurchased, mostly small- and medium-sized items, arranged tidily below the stairs on the bottom floor of Drake’s OVO flagship store in Tokyo. “We’re shipping these back to the company,” says Yui Hosakawa, the shop’s assistant manager. “We’re waiting for the delivery company.” She speaks confidently in […]
Becoming an NBA champion is a remarkable achievement. Since the league merged with the ABA in 1976, there have been a grand total of 15 different franchises that have claimed the coveted Larry O’Brien trophy. Forever is inescapable, and the Toronto Raptors earned a place in history that no one can ever take away. Ask […]
The NFL is back, and man, did it feel good. We saw plenty of close games as the season kicked off this week and getting to sit on the couch for nearly 12 hours doing nothing but watching football was something we have all been dreaming about since the schedule was released way back when. […]
The Toronto Raptors huffed and puffed but just couldn’t blow down the Boston Celtics’ house. Exhausted, battered, and bruised, tired mistakes were ultimately the undoing of the Raptors’ admirable title defence. Eighteen turnovers that led to 31 transition points for the game and 3-of-17 (17.6 percent) shooting from beyond the arc after the first quarter […]
Last month, Drake posted an Instagram story with a mighty claim: “None of us would be attempting this sound if it wasn’t for @ramriddlz.” “This sound” he’s referring to? Presumably, it’s the free and easy, dancehall- and Afrobeat-tinged vibe that’s permeated pop music for the last five years (see: Drake and Rihanna, “Work”; Justin Bieber, […]
The Raptors will not relinquish their title as defending NBA champions without the scrappiest of street fights. First down 2-0, then 3-2 as the result of an absolutely dismantling performance by the Boston Celtics, Toronto has breathed life back into the series on the back of their 34-year-old All-Star Kyle Lowry, who refuses to let […]
Boxing’s been back for months now. It started in June with Top Rank’s Las Vegas bubble that was largely a success—we got real fights, including a few title bouts, and the action was welcomed relief from a deserted sports scene. But boxing’s biggest names and heaviest hitters have been waiting on the sidelines for the right time to return to the […]
