REVIEW: Sarah Close's Forgiveness Is My Weakness

The queen of YouTube music covers is back!

It seems that Sarah Close is finally exiting her droplet era. Having not released a cohesive project since 2019, Close has only been dropping a series of singles, changing production directions throughout. Now, she has finally bundled those singles, as well as some new songs, into two extended plays. The first of them, Forgiveness Is My Weakness, is here today with the second, See You For Now, releasing in October.

Though the majority of this extended play consists of singles released during the droplet era (four out of seven tracks), and two were released as promotional singles just prior, this is still a solid project. I'm very proud of Sarah, as I've been following her career since the drop of her first extended play, Caught Up, in 2017.

This is a great project, and I'm looking forward to listening to its sister extended play this Autumn. For now, I give Forgiveness Is My Weakness 4 out of 5 Stars.

The Disappearance of Mekayla Bali

Every person interested in true crime has that one case that sticks with them. The one case that keeps them awake at three in the morning, the one case that boggles the mind. For me, that case is the disappearance of Canadian teen Mekayla Bali. Why? Well, there’s so much coverage of her last movements before her disappearance, and yet no one knows where she is- or if she’s still alive. So, who is Mekayla Bali? Mekayla Margaret Kim Bali (formerly Niebergall) is a Canadian teenager from Yorkton, Saskatchewan. She lived with her mother, Paula, her two siblings, Joshua and Eliyora, and aunt, Rhonda. She had interests such as The Hunger Games and video games like League of Legends. She enjoyed playing the violin and accordion, and nature photography. She wanted to go into a career working with children or animals. She was just a normal teenage girl… However, there may have been something darker going on behind the scenes. Bali had multiple Facebook and Instagram accounts, including an Inst

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, and the Future of Ace Attorney

That feeling when the autopsy report is updated... In the most recent Nintendo Direct, Capcom announced that they would be releasing another Ace Attorney game onto the Nintendo Switch and other modern consoles, just months after the release of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy. Titled the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, it contains the two Miles Edgeworth-led Ace Attorney spin-off games. This is major news for Ace Attorney fans, as the latter of the two games had not been released and localized outside of Japan since its original Nintendo DS release in 2011 until now. If you're unfamiliar with the series, Shu Takumi's Ace Attorney is a game where you play as a defense attorney in pursuit of defending those wrongly convicted of crimes... at least, at its surface. The series also contains a cast of zany and eccentric characters, elements of magical realism, spiritual and cultural exploration, and tons of drama and twists. The storyline is brilliant, and the lore is eve

REVIEW: Eternals

This review contains spoilers. Read at your own risk. The history and future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, summarized into one film. I think Marvel Studios bit off more than it could chew with this film. Its not the dumpster fire that everyone and their mother is saying it is, but I still think it’s not the greatest Marvel film ever made. To start this off on a good note, the acting was phenomenal. I would expect no less from an all-star cast. Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie stole the show, with their scenes being my favorites. Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Don Lee, Barry Keoghan, and the rest of the cast were just as great. I only wish that we had gotten to see more of Lauren Ridloff’s Makkari. As a person who is hard of hearing, I loved seeing her representing the deaf/HOH community on screen.  The story was subpar, as the pacing was confusing at times. The beginning and end of the plot was displayed, but a huge chunk in the middle was missing. I’m hoping that this will be solved in
