This weekend is all about original productions—and it’s also definitely a weekend to support your creative peers.

Midnight Sunrise, a Cartier dildo, and more influence on foreign policy

By Sara Worth · Daily Trojan

April 15, 2013 at 6:55 pm

On the second season premiere of HBO’s most comedic new comedy Veep, it’s midterm election night and it seems Vice President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) actually helped on the campaign trail—though not enough to keep the House.

April 13, 2013 at 1:35 am

The game Defiance came out on April 2nd. This is noteworthy for a few reasons, despite the lack of reviews. Firstly, it’s a rare massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMO) that one can play not only on a computer, but on standard gaming consoles (except the Wii, of course).

It is the winter of 1967, just months before the My Lai massacre and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the characters of AMC’s Mad Men are haunted by death.
