DC Takes TVBY WADE NAZIRI ON OCTOBER 10
For years the two big comic book companies, DC and Marvel, have been competing. In recent years it seems that Marvel has been winning due to all their successful movies. About two years ago DC decided to make a TV show called “Arrow,” which is about their hero, Green Arrow. The show was a large success for DC. Sensing that they had finally found a way to strike back at Marvel, DC had decided to capitalize on their television success.This fall DC Studios released two shows, “Gotham” and “Flash,” based off of their popular comics.

“OMG! Hope, look! We got a Chipotle!” Merritt said. “YASSSS! Chipotle is my life!” Hope said.Just like every white girl in Greenville, I was pretty excited for the arrival of Chipotle.

I get home, overloaded with my year-long anticipation, knowing it's about to be satisfied. As I slide the recently purchased cartridge into my console, images flash through my mind of all the articles, images and videos I've seen, building my hype for months. I knew this game had the power to transport me back to my childhood, and I was ready. The game finally boots up, and I hear the nostalgic, booming voice announce "Free-for-All." Oh. Yeah. American Horror StoryBY STEWART FUSSELL ON OCTOBER 10

Over the last nine years, the entertainment industry has seen a rise in critically acclaimed films and TV shows such as Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Trilogy”, Zach Snyder’s “300” and “Watchmen” and AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” But what were really the inspirations for these modern day cult classics? The answer is graphic novels. Chick-Fil-A Gets a New TwistBY CAMERON HIGLEY ON OCTOBER 10
As southern food-loving North Carolinians, we'd all be lying if we said we didn't like Chick-fil-a. Something about their chicken is inexplicably good and keeps us coming back. I don't think it's humanly possible to be tired of Chick-fil-a, but one day last summer, I pondered the possibilities of delicious meals that could be made if Chick-fil-a offered more than just chicken. This sparked the idea of a lifetime. If you're an avid Chick-fil-a lover as I am, prepare to have your mind blown. Above the Average Horror MovieBY WADE NAZIRI ON SEPTEMBER 19
When trailers for horror movies come on the TV, a couple things come to mind. We automatically think of some mediocre plot line about a family moving into some creepy haunted house. This stereotype causes a lot of us to avoid horror movies. This August, a movie was released called "As Above So Below" that broke horror movie stereotypes.

I spent a large amount of my childhood playing video games and ever since I’ve gotten older, it’s not often that I get that same sense of wonder and excitement at what lies ahead in a game. The feeling of not wanting to go to bed because there’s something new to experience, and waking up the next day, immediately wanting to continue on your adventure. It’s rare getting that feeling, but Destiny is able to accomplish just that. Supermercado El Rancho BY CAMERON HIGLEY ON SEPTEMBER 19
Located on Charles Boulevard next to Fitness Connection, many people pass by Supermercado El Rancho, thinking it is a just small Latino super market, many are unfamiliar that it is a sit down restaurant as well. If you enter through the front and make your way to the back of the market, passing by a huge array of unique Mexican foods, sauces and premium meats, you are eventually led to a small restaurant Dance Leaps Into New Spotlight
