My partner and I really enjoy playing games together — solving a puzzle feels much sweeter when you have someone cheering you on, even if they’re chuckling at you a little. Below, I’ve listed games by price, platform, and length. Whether you’re in a relationship or want some wholesome challenges and raucous laughter with your friends, here are some of my favourites to play on date night!  

 

It Takes Two

$54.99 | Playable on Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S | 2 players | ~6–8 hours

Your protagonists, Cody and May, are a married couple on the brink of divorce. Then, they’re tossed into a fantastical world made by their daughter and are forced to work together. You work with a partner and face funny obstacles like furry gangster squirrel tails. The game is often light-hearted, and the story is well-written. It’s stunningly animated, making every moment a joyful one. 

You can choose to play this game from two separate devices, or play together on one screen with split-screen play. It’s wholesome, sweet, and wonderful to look at! The price is pretty steep, but it’s on sale on Steam often. At the time of writing, it’s $27.49. 

 

We Were Here
Free | Playable on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation | 2 players | ~2 hours

Where It Takes Two is a whimsical look into repairing a fractured relationship, We Were Here takes a decided swing into an atmospheric thriller. You and your partner are tasked with overcoming puzzles together to escape an abandoned castle. It Takes Two has visuals to guide you, but We Were Here relies heavily on using your voice to help each other through each puzzle. This means you have to work closely in what feels like a two-player escape room! 

We Were Here is the first installment of a series with three sequels: We Were Here Too, We Were Here Together, and We Were Here Forever. If you like this, check those games out too!

 

Stardew Valley

$16.99 | Playable on Android, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Mac, Linux, Windows | 1–4 players

I couldn’t not list this game here. Stardew Valley is a classic choice. The two recommendations above are puzzle games, but this is a long-form game you can enjoy with your partner. Basically, your protagonist is despondent with their corporate position and has inherited their grandfather’s old farm. While you can play this as a single-player game, playing it with a friend (or three!) lets you share more resources. Getting to work together to turn your farm from a middling plot to rich fields with all the farm animals is really rewarding.

 

Heave Ho

$11.49 | Windows, Mac, Nintendo Switch | 1–4 players | ~3 hours

This game is a surprising amount of fun. You have to grip onto each player’s hands to get across the level. You’re basically swinging across all sorts of limbs and platforms trying not to fall. My friends spend a lot of time hollering at each other as we swing! This is the game you want to play when you just want something short and amusing.

 

Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp

$15.99 | Windows, Linux, Mac | 1–4 players | 1–3 hours

I chose Monster Camp over Monster Prom here because you can interact more with your fellow players. This is a hilarious dating sim where your goal is to ask out a variety of monsters, from the head witch of a coven to a computer. I was drawn to this series for its customization. At the beginning of the game, you choose between four playable characters, and pick pronouns regardless of how the characters present. Your character can then date anyone in the game. There is a broad range of queer representation in these characters. Many storylines explore the characters’ identities and their feelings of romance — and often, world domination! 

It does feel like a long game to play in one sitting because there’s a lot of dialogue, but the narrator’s lines and thirst always make my friends and I laugh.

My first time wakeboarding

When I was 16 years old, I started wakeboarding at a church summer camp. At first, I was too shy to join my friends, but with persistence, they convinced me to give it a shot. It took me a while to learn, but any sign of growth, whether big or small, pushed me to keep going.

Everyday, the parent volunteers started the wakeboarding sessions at 7:00 a.m. Since it was my first time, I decided to start by watching my friends. Everyone else on the boat was very experienced, so I felt intimidated to practice in front of them.

Once I was ready to begin, the boat’s owner, Vincent, showed me how to strap my feet to the wakeboard. Then, I gave my friend my glasses and jumped into the water. On top of trying a new sport, I had to guess the direction and speed of the waves.

Vincent instructed me to lay down on my back and bring my knees to my chest. Once I grabbed hold of the rope, he revved the engine. The boat drove forward faster than I anticipated, causing me to fall face first into the water. After seeing my friends glide on the water gracefully, I wondered if I would be able to stand up at all.

The second time around, Vincent instructed me to hold onto the rope tighter. My friends cheered me on. They encouraged me to be patient and keep going. This time I was able to hold onto the rope, but I wasn’t able to stand up. As soon as the boat moved, I collided with the water again.

Wakeboarding was challenging because it was nothing like the other watersports I’ve tried — kayaking, swimming, and tubing. A tight grip and good balance weren’t enough. I needed to match my movements to the speed of the waves, but since it was my first time, I didn’t know what to expect. I tried twice more until my time was up.

Since I couldn’t stand up the first few rounds, Vincent was kind enough to give me another chance, but the result was the same every time. Not to mention, the rope got tangled in the propeller, stalling the boat and prematurely ending my second attempt. 

Later that week, I had the chance to wakeboard again. For the first half, I still couldn’t figure out how to stand up. One of my peers, Jeremy, gave me a few pointers on how to steer myself. To my surprise, something clicked and I stood up! Feeling the adrenaline rush, I screamed so loud in disbelief, proud to have achieved my goal. I didn’t stand for long since steering was new to me, but I took the time to soak every last second of it. Finishing my turn, I enthusiastically hi-fived everyone on the boat.

Even though I started wakeboarding years ago, I still remember the relief of accomplishing what I set out to do. Despite it taking longer than I wanted, and only being able to stand for a few seconds, what’s important is that I followed through on the goal I set for myself. Sometimes half the fun is getting there. 

Mainstream media needs to address its sex stigma

Doing it, the devil’s tango, knocking boots — these are all euphemisms used to avoid a simple three-letter word: sex. Why do we feel the need for all these euphemisms in order to avoid one word? Despite sex being a part of many of our lives, it is heavily stigmatized in culture, conversation, and the media. The best way to combat the taboo nature of sex is to make it less taboo — and start an open conversation. 

So, let’s talk about it.

I understand why sex isn’t necessarily our go-to dinner conversation: the amount of bodily fluids — and the noises — can be unappetizing. However, our habit of hiding sex has translated into a culture of shame. Wanting sex should not evoke discomfort — nonetheless, shame and sex appear to be a common pair. 

The media has an influence on societal views pertaining to sex, and contributes to feelings of shame. The media — and society in general — are especially vocal when it comes to women who choose to engage, or not engage, in sex. These messages swing between prudishness: the resistance to sexual expression, and sluttiness: a slur directed at those who take ownership of their sexualities. Though there is nothing wrong with either behaviour, the lack of space for women to be sexual without stigma is a problem. 

Ideas regarding sex are instilled at a young age. I recall passively listening to T.I’s “No Mediocre” at my high school basketball game and feeling disturbed about the artist’s criticisms of women who have pubic hair. What we need is more songs that send messages of empowerment and that normalize sexual desire — especially in women (such as WAP by Cardi B). 

TV shows and movies need to do their part as well. A good start would be adding discussions surrounding sex, consent, and contraceptives during climactic scenes. I can’t remember the last time I watched a movie with a sex scene that contained a conversation surrounding (or using) protection without plot-based motivation. That is inherently problematic. For one, sexual encounters on the big screen aren’t usually representative of real sexual experiences — and it’s important they begin fostering a culture of consent. 

Sex isn’t always some life-altering event, or “picture perfect” in the way film depicts it to be. Sex scenes are highly choreographed — it is normal for sex to be uncoordinated, light-hearted, and filled with laughter — I wish dramatizations could capture this instead of providing viewers with false expectations. 

If your sexual encounters aren’t intricate dances, you need not feel ashamed. Your sexual experience isn’t the problem — the way film portrays it is. Sex may not always be spontaenous, in reality sex may require a little extra planning and a discussion surrounding safe sexual practices prior to the encounter. The media’s simple addition of the aforementioned steps could aid in normalizing healthy sexual behaviours, and hopefully render the purchase of contraceptives less embarrassing. Engaging in safe sexual practices shouldn’t feel embarassing at all. This is an example of what destigmatization could look like — a world where purchasing contraceptives for safe sexual practices isn’t embarassing. 

At the end of the day, we need to acknowledge sex for what it is. Whether we choose to pursue it or not, sex is a behaviour that is done by just about all multicellular life. Let’s start time-appropriate open conversations — even around the dinner table — so that we can all engage in something that’s intended to be pleasurable without shame. 

The stigma ends here — it ends with us.

Aaron Ahl sets record at first track meet of season

By: Charlene Aviles, Staff Writer

Name: Aaron Ahl

Pronouns: He/him

Major: Biomedical physiology, fifth year

Favourite Track and Field Athlete: Matthew Centrowitz 

Aaron Ahl recently set a Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) record for the second fastest 3,000 m in a time of 7 minutes and 53 seconds at the first track meet of the season. Ahl is a senior on the SFU men’s cross country team and a junior on the men’s track and field team. During the Distance Medley Relay in Boston, he and his teammates set a time of 9 minutes and 38 seconds, breaking the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II record. In an interview with The Peak, Ahl discussed his love for cross country and track and field.

After playing soccer, he started experimenting with cross country in grade seven. “I noticed I had a talent for running at that point,” he said. From there, Ahl competed on his junior high school team.

“All throughout junior high, I was running on the school’s cross country and track team, but I didn’t actually join a club and start running seriously until high school,” said Ahl.

Since then, his love for both sports has continued to grow. He hopes to become a professional athlete and compete on an international level. “I think right now, that’s one of the biggest things that drive me to train, perform well — to be able to have longevity in sport.”

SFU’s NCAA opportunities and experienced head coach Brit Townsend, who is also a former Olympian, drew Ahl to SFU.

“Being in the NCAA gives us a lot of good racing opportunities that you don’t necessarily get at some other Canadian schools I was looking at. We actually get a full outdoor season, compared to USports [schools], who just get their indoor season,” said Ahl.

Ahl, who grew up in Calgary, Alberta, explained joining the SFU track team in 2017 helped him with the transition to SFU.

“If I wasn’t on the track team, it would be a lot harder to make friends or find a community that you belong in. But being on the track team, you just get put into a group of like-minded people. And basically those people become your best friends,” said Ahl.

Ahl had a strong start to the cross country season during Fall 2021, but realized he needed to make some changes to prioritize his health.

“I was running a lot of mileage week by week. That can take a big toll on your body. I wasn’t getting enough iron in my diet, so I ended up actually becoming anemic,” said Ahl.

He realized this especially affected his performance during the cross country regional competition, but it motivated him to make changes ahead of the track and field season, two months later.

“I think just performing as well as I did gave me a huge confidence boost coming off of such a low after the cross country season,” said Ahl.

Going into this track season, Ahl’s focus is on improving. 

“I would like to win the mile at the national meet. I think I have a really good chance to do that this year, and that’s definitely one of my first goals. I’ve also been eyeing up some of the NCAA  Division II records, both in the 3k and the mile,” said Ahl.

He added, he would like to advise his younger self  “not to be too worried about results as a freshman and just think about long term and development.

“You have to be consistent, because that’s really how you get results. You can’t just expect to show up one day and get majorly better and improve a lot on one day. It’s the accumulation of all your training,” said Ahl.

Ahl and the SFU track team will be in Washington for two meets on February 11 and 12 before the GNAC Championship. 

The state of soccer worldwide and its basic rules

Overview 

Soccer, otherwise called football in Europe and South America, has been around for centuries dating back to ancient Greece. Of course, the form was wildly different, but the idea of kicking around a ball has survived the creeping of time. In 1863, the game we know and love today was put into writing by the Football Association in London.

Nowadays, soccer is the biggest worldwide spectator sport with an estimated three billion fans around the world — almost half of the planet’s population! A vital factor contributing to its worldwide popularity is its low maintenance. Only a ball and some markers for the net are enough for most, allowing the game to be played absolutely everywhere and at all skill levels. 

Association Football

Due to soccer’s large demographic of players, it was too challenging to democratize the sport into one major league with the same rules. Instead, it was split into regional organizations and leagues. By profit, the biggest leagues are in Europe. They include the Premier League (England), The Bundesliga (Germany), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), and Ligue 1 (France). Other leagues such as Major League Soccer in North America are also rising in popularity, due in part to a growing fan base.

World and Continental Competition

There’s only one World Cup soccer tournament which occurs every four years and features players playing on their national team. Then there are continental competitions such as the Copa America (South American Cup), Europa (European Cup), and the Champions League, which takes the best teams from leagues around Europe to compete for the title of best team.

Basic Rules 

Even though the rules are not identical across leagues, the basic template is the same: 10 players and one goalkeeper take the field. To win a game, a team must outscore their opponent. A typical game consists of two halves that are 45 minutes long. Unlike hockey or basketball, the timer does not stop when the play stops — this prompts the referee to add additional time at their discretion during the 90 minute mark of the game. Five substitutions (exchanging players from the bench to field) are allowed per team — these may occur at any time. If the ball leaves the pitch (field) on any side during the game, then a throw in is awarded to the other team. If the ball is kicked out at either end (corner) of the pitch, then a goal kick or corner kick is given depending on which team touched it last. Similar to hockey, players must also prevent themselves from going offside by remaining behind the other team’s defense. 

Infractions

For any physical infractions there is a yellow and red card system. Yellow cards are given as cautions for reckless or dangerous play, while red cards are for plays usually resulting in injury. Players who receive a red card are automatically ejected from the game. 

Fouls

For lesser infractions, called fouls, a few mechanisms can occur. The most common is the direct or indirect free kick which is given at the same spot where the foul occurred. A direct kick can be shot at the goal, while an indirect kick must be passed before shooting. If a foul occurs inside the penalty box in front of the net, then a penalty kick is awarded. In this case, the player must shoot the ball from a designated spot 12 yards away from the goal line. Once the ball is touched by the player, the game continues, allowing for rebounds created by the goalie to be scored. 

Wrap-Up

While Europe and South America have been acknowledged for their highly skilled players, other countries are slowly catching up in international competition. For example, the Canadian national team made history this year by going undefeated (so far) in World Cup qualification rounds, to earn a spot in the tournament — the farthest the team has gotten since 1986.

Explaining the general structure of the NHL

By: Greg Makarov, Sports Writer

Puck Drop and Play

Every NHL hockey game begins with the singing of the respective teams’ national anthems before the first faceoff. Faceoffs occur at the beginning of any play after the whistle has been blown. Both centers from each team meet in the middle of the circle on the ice. Once the referee drops the puck, both players attempt to use their stick to push the puck to a player on their own team.

Every game consists of three periods that are 20 minutes long. If there is a tie at the end of the third period, then teams move to five minutes of three on three overtime. If a goal is still yet to be scored, a shootout will begin. In a best-of-three shootout, each team is given a turn to try to score on the opposing goalie from centre ice. However, the player and the puck must always be in constant forward motion. 

If a deadlock still remains, the shootout continues until a team scores. The team that goes second always has a shot at redemption if the first team scores. Like a win in regular time, the winner walks away with two points. But the losers still walk away with one point for lasting until overtime.

Officials 

There are two linesmen and two referees on the ice. Linesmen are responsible for offsides (entering before the puck) and icings, while referees deal with penalties (player violations of the rules). 

Although referees call penalties, it’s important to understand calls are ultimately based on the referee’s interpretation of the rules. So a tripping penalty in one game might not be called in another — this is unofficially dubbed “game management.”

There are a plethora of penalties and even severity markers when it comes to sending a player to the penalty box. Such as the two-minute-high sticking penalty being converted into a four-minute penalty if blood is drawn. There are also penalties for non-physical infractions such as delay of game, too many players on the ice, and unsportsmanlike conduct. These carry different punishments, ranging from 2 minutes to a misconduct (10 minutes).

In the early days, referees would have to make calls on the go and would not be able to change them afterwards. However, recently certain plays have become reviewable due to controversy in the playoffs when these plays were not caught in time. This prompted the NHL to review certain decisions if challenged by one of the coaches.

Playoffs 

The playoffs are a different beast altogether. The whole league is split into two conferences: Eastern and Western. From there, the Eastern division is subdivided into the Atlantic and Metropolitan, while the Western consists of the Central and Pacific. 

In total, 16 out of 32 teams qualify for the playoffs. The top three teams from each division automatically make the playoffs. Then there are two wildcard spots that are open to the next best division members of each conference, extending the competition and creating balance among teams. 

When playoffs begin in April, the first ranked team in each conference battles eight (worst team), and so on, in a best-of-seven matchup. To win the Stanley Cup, a team must go through four rounds of the playoffs, knocking off the rest of the teams in their conference until the finals.

The Stanley Cup is widely regarded as the hardest trophy to win and even the best regular-season teams are not guaranteed to win anything. For example, the 2018–19 Tampa Bay Lightning won 62 of 82 games during the regular season, which tied the record for most wins ever in the regular season. The team had the league’s best goalie and one of the best defenseman and forward of the year and still massively disappointed fans, as they were swept in the playoffs by the lower-seeded Columbus Blue Jackets. 

 

Environmental imperialism: invasive species

While BC has made some important steps on Indigenous reconciliation, the process has been slow. BC’s apparent reticence to pursue reconciliation becomes more galling once one realizes there’s a piece missing from the conversation: environmental imperialism. Environmental imperialism can roughly be defined as the process of altering a native landscape to suit a colonial project. Alongside land usage in agriculture and energy sourcing, invasive species are a way colonies solidify their presence on foreign land.

Historian Alfred Crosby argues much of the influence of colonizers was due to their ability to alter native ecosystems. This process can be deliberate, like with the importing of decorative fauna (SFU’s epidemic of English Ivy), or inadvertent, as in the spread of rats. Even more difficult to classify are the impacts on the environment of the spread of European diseases, which weakened resistance and led to deaths among Indigenous populations during colonial expansions.

The impacts of early land-use changes still resonate today. Colonies were in part formed to cultivate crops and raise livestock — broadly; to siphon the wealth of the land. Often, this exploitation came at the expense of the native environment. According to author Mary Lyn Stoll, historic colonies are now “the largest exporters of grains and animal products once utterly foreign to the colonized landscape 500 years ago.”

Globally, cultures are influenced by the ecosystems that surround them. Whether by the types of foods that are available, the access to materials for crafting, or in the allusion to animal behaviours, culture and nature are closely linked. In importing invasive species and the subsequent replacement of native flora and fauna, we can see an uncomfortable parallel to the colonial mindset.

It’s worth asking, then, how do we incorporate the decolonization of landscapes into the reconciliation process?

On an individual level, helping remove invasive species can be a benefit, both for your community and to reconciliation efforts. The 2018 #Next150 movement, aimed at providing participants with concrete steps to support reconciliation efforts, suggested “learning about invasive or introduced plant species in your community or region.”

Further, learning about native species can help inform your choices when planting a garden or going grocery shopping. Although foods like wheat and beef are invasive, blueberries, corn, squash, and tomatoes all originate from North America, as do bison, turkey, and many types of fish.

Environmental imperialism is a dominant feature of colonial projects — the alteration of Indigenous territories is essential to the success of colonial endeavors, and continues to ripple through BC. Resolving the legacy of environmental imperialism will take time and effort. The least we can do is to start talking about it.
