My name is Jonathan Quezada, currently an E.A. major at Texas StateTechnical College and a valley veteran who served in Operation IraqiFreedom. When I was asked to write a column for the MustangMagazine I humbly accepted this task but then so many questionsbegan to race through my mind. What would I write about? Whowould I write about? Suddenly it hit me, along with writing about myexperiences as a veteran student; I want to share the stories of myfellow service men and women here on campus from the newlyenlisted private to the proudly served veteran. Also, I hope to includeperspectives from active duty military personnel who are defendingthis great nation. From the successes to the struggles of these kindsof people, I want to be their voice. I want to serve you, the people.

RANDOM INFO FOR TSTC STUDENTS

SOLDIER’SBlogStudents graduating this semester will be met at thecrossroads of their educational journey with the all toofamiliar question of “What’s next?” Although intimidatingat first, as a graduate, you realistically have some time onyour hands. Many students will either enter theworkforce and land a job that fits the certificate orassociate degree they just earned, or they will continuewith their college experience and prepare for the nextdegree level.

One road to take is Academic Core completion at TexasState Technical College Harlingen. Traditionally, studentswill look at the “core requirements” needed to satisfytheir future bachelor degree and begin taking similarcourses hoping they will transfer. The obstacles thatcome along with that approach occur when you changeyour mind about which degree you are going to pursueor which institution you are going to attend. Instead ofhandling the headache that comes along with whichspeech or foreign language class you took, you can easeyour stress by simply completing the Academic Core!

Academic Core completion saves lives. Well…mostlytime and money, but sometimes that is life. Every publiccollege and university in the state of Texas offersAcademic Core completion for their students. If youcomplete “the core” at TSTC Harlingen, you can thentransfer your “basics” as a complete block to ANY publicuniversity or college in Texas. No need to worry aboutwhich speech class you took; the block transfer willautomatically transfer into the institution by law. Onceyou get “Academic Core Complete” stamped on yourofficial TSTC transcript…yyoouu’’rree GGOOLLDDEENN!!

Detective Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a senseless crime-an elderly groceryowner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. This is Peabody's first caseas primary detective-good thing she learned from the master.

But Peabody soon stumbles upon a trickier situation. After a hard workout, she's all alone in the lockerroom when the gym door clatters open; and-while hiding inside a shower stall trying not to make asound-she overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. It doesn't take long to realizethey're both crooked-guilty not just of corruption but of murder. Now Peabody, Eve, and Eve's husband,Roarke, are trying to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down-knowing all thewhile that the two are willing to killto keep their secret.

Living on the streets with her destitute mother, selling knickknacks and trinkets just to survive, SashaPorter dreams of someday having a normal life, with a real house and family. But she never dreameda devastating tragedy would bring her those very things: on a stormy night by a rain spattered highway,a speeding car veers out of control, striking and killing her mother and badly injuring Sasha.. . is anywhere truly safe?

In the hospital, Sasha is whisked off to a fancy private suite at the request of wealthy Mrs. Jordan March,a complete stranger who keeps watch by Sasha’s bedside and insists she come live at her family’ssprawling, luxurious mansion. Sasha soon learns Mrs. March never recovered from the loss of herdaughter Alena, and with nowhere else to go, Sasha agrees to use Alena’s room, sleep in her bed, andwear her clothes. But someone will make sure that Sasha never takes Alena’s place: a jealous sister deadset on making Sasha’s life a living hell.

In this book, he reveals the evolution,finances, and inner tensions of the whistleblower organization, beginning with his first meeting withAssange in December 2007. He also describes what led to his September 2010 withdrawal fromWikiLeaks, including his disenchantment with the organization’s lack of transparency, itsabandonment of political neutrality, and Assange’s increasing concentration of power. What has beenmade public so far about WikiLeaks is only a small fraction of the truth.

Prepare to enter the Grid in Tron Legacy. Twenty-eight years after theoriginal Tron was released, Disney offers us its continuation of the story.

» Director Joseph Kosinski» Starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde» Released 17 December 2010» Parental Rating PG» Genre Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi » Running Time 125 min

» SummaryTron: Legacy begins with the mysterious disappearance of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), the heroof the first film. Flynn’s son, Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) is left alone and grows into a defiantheir to his father’s company. We follow Sam on his journey into the Grid, the realm in whichTron takes place, to find the truth about what happened to his dad. Sam soon discovers thathis father was trapped in this world by Clu, a creation of Kevin Flynn’s that turned against him.After Sam finds his father, the two team with Quorra (Olivia Wilde) to get home before theway out closes. At the same time, they must try evade the forces of Clu and end his tyrannicalrule over the Grid.

» AnalysisGarrett Hedlund does a good job at capturing the rebellious spirit and growth of Sam Flynn intoa hero. Olivia Wilde excellently portrays the curious and adventurous nature of Quorra. It is JeffBridges, however, that delivers the standout performance. He plays Sam’s aged and wise father,Kevin Flynn, and the vengeful Clu.

One of Tron: Legacy’s best features is its music. Daft Punk provides an amazing soundtrack thatcaptures the intensity of the fight sequences and the excitement and wonder of travelingthrough the Grid.

The film’s crowning achievement is its visuals. Light cycle and disk battles are thrilling to watchand make the movie worth checking out in 3D. The environment is sleek and beautiful tobehold as neon lights accent the dark, complex structures that make up this world.

Tron: Legacyby: Armando Garcia

Page 13: Mustang Magazine Volume 6, Issue 4

Mustang Magazine | April 2011 13

Tron: Legacy is not with out flaws though. As praise worthy as the visuals are,the same can’t be said about the character of Clu. He is made to resemblea young Kevin Flynn but the CGI results in a face that looks lifeless. One ofthe most significant problems is its lack of detail. For example, Kevin Flynn’sdiscovery of Isomorphic Algorithms is supposed to change humanity buthe never explains how.

Further explanation of the impact these Isomorphic Algorithms would haveon the real world and expansion on the rules that govern the Grid wouldbenefit the movie. It would allow us to better understand that world andsolidify its identity among other movie franchises.

» ConclusionAt its heart, Tron: Legacy is about a son reuniting with his father andaccepting the responsibilities handed down to him. The film has enough torise above its faults and is definitely a must see for fans of the sci-fi, actionor adventure genres.

» Rating4 out of 5 stars.

MAGMASSIVE ACTION GAME

by Joe Castillo

Platform PlayStation 3» Developer Zipper Interactive » Players 1 to 256 Players» Released 26 January 2010» Genre Shooter

MAG is the first ever MMOFPS (Multi-Massive OnlineFirst Person Shooter) to hit the PlayStation 3 console.You are able to choose one of the three PMCs (privatemilitary companies): Raven, Valor, and S.V.E.R. Each PMChas its own pros and cons.

Raven is stationed in South America and has the hightech weapons and gadgets, but the operatives have notseen real combat. Valor is stationed in Alaska and hasthe standard U.S military weapons. Their soldiers arethe most experienced and have seen the most combat. S.V.E.R. is the underdog, so to speak, of the three PMCs.Their weapons are not the best, but they do pack a punch and their bases are held up with just about whateverthey can get their hands on, such as tin and other metal materials for cover from enemy snipers to air strikes.

The gameplay for MAG is quite impressive; even though the environment is not destructible it will have youcaptivated by how the game works. There are roles you can play such as the Rapid Assault, Sniper, Direct Action,Commando, and Field Support. When you reach rank 15, you qualify to be a Squad Leader. This is where aheadset is really important, so you can tell your fellow squad mates where to go, what to defend, or where theenemy is advancing from.

The game can hold matches from 64 players to 265 players on a single map! You will come across some partsof the game where it may bug on you, such as you get snipped behind a wall or the server can overload andboot people out of the game, which only happens on the Domination Matches (265 player maps). The mostexciting part of the game is calling in motor barrages to decimate enemies or cluster bombs while playing asthe Squad Leader.

Overall I would recommend renting it first to see how you like it or go to your local GameStop and purchaseit there for a great low price.

by Ashley CastilloTolkienJ.R.R.

What is the distinction between a mediocre author and one who leaves an impression that has lastedfor generations? Is it a witty turn of phrase or the rich landscape the author creates in the reader’s mind?Whatever the case, one such author has made an impression on the literary world that will last forgenerations to come.

Many people may not know about John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (J.R.R. Tolkien), but it is safe to bet theyhave heard of his famous trilogy—The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, SouthAfrica on 3 January 1892. Upon the unfortunate death of his father, his family moved to Great Britain.He attended the usual schools—King Edward’s and later, Oxford University. At a young age, he showedgreat promise in many ancient and modern languages. Most notably, he was fascinated with Old Norse,the Germanic languages, and Old English. These languages would later be the foundation of his ownlanguage. He then formed a fraternity with several of his classmates called the Tea Club Barrovian Society(T.C.B.S).

Tolkien married Edith Bratt, and their love gave birth to his legend of “Beren and Lúthien.” The tale isabout a mortal man who falls in love with a beautiful elf who was part goddess. It is a powerful storydescribing their trials and subsequent lives after death.

After receiving his degree, his life was put on hold when World War I broke out in Europe, where heserved in the Lancashire Fusiliers. While there, he succumbed to a form of typhus called “trench-fever.”As a result, he was sent back to England where he reunited with Edith. Sadly, all but one of his formerclub members perished in the war. It is through their loss that Tolkien conceives The Book of Lost Tales.In this, the history of Middle-earth found in The Silmarillion is given shape.

With the ending of WWI, Tolkien returned to Oxford seeking employment. He became a professor andjoined a group of contemporaries—calling themselves the “Inklings.” In the group were gentlemen whowould become authors of great repute. Most notable, C.S. Lewis was a member and was consideredone of Tolkien’s closest friends.

Together, they shared their musings and stories. Among those stories told were The Lord of the Ringsand The Chronicles of Narnia. In time, the relationship between the two cooled, and they became distant.Sources point to religion being the catalyst, but one cannot truly know the cause. Suffice to say, theirfriendship did not last.

Page 17: Mustang Magazine Volume 6, Issue 4

Mustang Magazine | April 2011 17

As his children grew up, he lavished them with stories. One such example occurred

when Christopher forgot his toy at the beach. On the fly, Tolkien created an

intricate tale called Roverandom. It is an adventure of a toy dog that was left at

the beach and goes on an adventure to become a real dog.

Following the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien released its

sequel—The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Tolkien was

already known for his translations of Sir Gawain and

the Green Knight, Beowulf: The Monsters and the

Critics, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo. The LOTR catapulted

him into literary history. Tolkien was reputed to

have enjoyed the success his novels brought

him, but not the fans. He especially disliked

being the object of ardent fandoms and cults.

Tolkien is one of those authors who defy death. His

works are still being published; in fact, new stories are

released by his son, Christopher Tolkien. Some posthumous

books are The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales, The History

of Middle-earth, The Children of Húrin, The Legend of

Sigurd and Gudrún, and Mr. Bliss. The Lord of the Rings

was turned into a major motion picture that

shattered box office sales and received numerous

awards. Presently, The Hobbit has begun production.

Filming started this March, and it is a $500 million,

two-movie work in progress.

Tolkien passed away on September 2, 1973. Edith, his wife, preceded

him on November 29, 1971. They are survived by Christopher and

Priscilla. Maybe they truly were like Beren and Lúthien, and they reside in

an undying land.

CChhuubbbbyy BBuunnnnyyWhen we were mere children (and for some that wasa decade ago), we all indulged ourselves in making bets.Not gambling bets, though, but more like issuingchallenges that involved our abilities or skills. The basicformula is "I bet you can't beat me in (insert challengehere)." For instance, there is the classic "I bet you can'tbeat me in a race" challenge.

As we get older, though, we find ourselves unwilling tomake such bets because we do not find them to be asentertaining. But, through the power of the Internet, anew era of challenges was born - one that only requiresyou to have a pulse and a willingness to do somethingextremely stupid. This era has been labeled with twowords. Internet. Challenge. While there are many goodchallenges, this piece covers only one of the morepopular challenges. As the series continues, we willobserve or consider a different one in each issue.

First off, we have the infamous "chubby bunny." This onerequires more than one participant. The general rule isthe cliche "the more, the merrier." What you want to do

is get a bag or two of regular-size marshmallows. DONOT use the mini-marshmallows. That ruins it. Now theobjective is to get the most marshmallows in yourmouth while still being able to say the phrase "CHUBBYBUNNY." Seems simple enough, but after about fouror five times saying it the task increasingly becomes agreater challenge.

Remember, you are not allowed to chew and / orswallow the marshmallows. That's cheating. Start off byhaving everyone put one marshmallow in their mouthand, one at a time, say "chubby bunny." Once everyonedoes that just continue the process - gradually addingone marshmallow at a time - until there is only oneperson left who can say "chubby bunny." That personwins! Simple as that.

So, with that, I bed thee adieux. ENJOY!
