Minecraft: A Timeless Art

Posted on December 4, 2025April 24, 2026 by Stentor Staff Writer

Minecraft seems to have done the impossible. The popularity of a given video game tends to deplete shortly after its release, but Minecraft hasn’t followed this trend. Since its creation in 2009 and rise to stardom in 2013, several revivals have prevented a downfall that seemed inevitable for other video games. Whether it was sprinting home to hop straight onto a server or picking up a Minecraft handbook from the Scholastic Book Fair, every other…

Lux – Rosalía’s new album brings women, spirituality and music together as one

Posted on December 4, 2025December 30, 2025 by Stentor Staff Writer

By Leonor Valente ‘29Staff Writer The much-anticipated Rosalía album, following her Grammy-awarded project “Motomami,” was released Nov. 7 and soon took the heart of many fans. Once again, Rosalía proved that she is not just a singer, but an extremely talented and creative artist. The PR strategy for “LUX” was quite unusual, with the first single “Berghain,” featuring Bjork and Yves Tumor released with a 24-hour notice on the artist’s social media, and an accidental…

The Symbolic Intersection of Desire and Cannibalism

Posted on December 3, 2025February 20, 2026 by Atala Johnson

Victoria Mulli mulliv@lakeforest.edu Staff Writer Cannibalism and the innate desire for human connection are two seemingly polarising concepts in a literal sense. Our taboo perception of cannibalism stems from the psychological essentialism of human essence, which is ingrained in our contemporary culture. It is what roots our tendency to see personhood and identity within one another, and subsequently, in our flesh. This notion of human essence prevents us from viewing ourselves and anyone around us…

Seasonal Screenings: Must-watch movies for this fall

Posted on October 31, 2025 by Stentor Staff Writer

Melanie Mandelke ’29mandelkem17@lakeforest.eduStaff Writer Movies can serve as seasonal milestones for us. They can set a mood and prepare us for the month ahead. As November brings us deeper into autumn, it’s worth remembering that films are a great way to enjoy the season. This fall, look for movies that feel like changing leaves and apple cider. Halloween has passed, so we can move on from horror movies and thrillers and opt for those cozy,…

Fear The Old Blood: Bloodborne Ten Years Later

Posted on October 31, 2025 by Stentor Staff Writer

George Zemenides ’28zemenidesgaf@lakeforest.eduStaff Writer “Bloodborne” emerged from the creative mind of Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware Inc. as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in 2015. It remains one of gaming history’s most unforgettable experiences: a masterpiece whose influence still courses through the veins of modern design. To revisit it on its tenth anniversary is to return to Yharnam, a city that still feels as alive, mysterious and terrifying as it did a decade ago. At its core,…

Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl”: A Few Gems, At a Cost

Posted on October 31, 2025March 2, 2026 by Stentor Staff Writer

Kate O’Donnell ’28odonnellkgr@lakeforest.eduStaff Writer As a lifelong Swiftie, it pains me to admit that, for the first time, I went into Taylor Swift’s Oct. 3 album release with trepidation. “The Life of a Showgirl” didn’t follow the typical Swift-esque rollout. Usually, the months between announcement and release are filled with Easter eggs, lyric reveals, lead singles and interviews that set the tone. The absence of those traditions led to far less anticipation than usual, even…
