But I do know Wednesday, April 17, 2019 Editor: Samuel Sorenson ENTERTAINMENT snctimes.com/entertainment | 10 Junk Drawer Favorite Setting Anna: The Limbo of “Inception” Many of the dream settings in “Inception” are incredible. From Arthur’s zero-gravity hotel hall- way to the snowy fortress where the final idea is planted in Robert Fischer’s mind, all the dream- scapes of “Inception” are incredibly detail-oriented and fantastic. However, the one that interests me the most, the one that scares me the most, is the idea of limbo. In the words of Arthur, limbo is “just raw, infinite subconscious; nothing is down there.” Basically, any dreamer who falls into limbo is able to create an infinite number of worlds with their minds. Cobb and Mal were trapped in limbo for an upwards of 50 years, building a life together until they were thrown back into youth in the real world. It destroyed Mal, and she wasn’t able to tell dream from reality anymore; limbo became her reality. On the surface, limbo seems insanely cool. A place where I can build my own world, a place where my imagination is infinite and unlimited? Yeah, sign me up. Cin- ematically, the scenes in “Inception” that take place in limbo are some of the best, but when you really look at it, limbo is terrifying, and it’s a place I’d never want to experience.

Rebecca: Coco’s World of the Dead What the world of the dead may look like will forever be a mystery. While the movie “The Book of Life” had an amazing concept for where people go after death, it was topped by the movie “Coco’s” version. The vibrant colors and detail put into the world was mesmerizing. I like how they drew off from some of the Cinco de Mayo traditions like the placing of flowers which they made for the bridge to the world, leaving of food and items for the dead and legends of the alebrijes. The scene we see when Miguel and Dante first enter the world of the dead is awe- inspiring.

Eduardo: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” All the games from the “Legend of Zelda” series have provided their audience with immersive gameplay and engaging puzzles and stories that keep one hooked in for hours and hours. No less can be expected from the latest canon installment in the series: “Breath of the Wild.” At the beginning of the game, we are introduced to a Link that has forgotten all his memo- ries and all he knows is that he must save Princess Zelda and the land of Hyrule from Calamity Ganon. The game places the player in the biggest version of Hyrule yet, and everything about it feels epic: from the vast number of items that can be obtained to all the places that can be ex- plored, the setting in “Breath of the Wild” is a perfect complement to the experience of this game.

Madelyn: “Divergent” The way she thought up our society as being divided into different factions blows my mind. While it’s not the perfect society to live in, it’s still incredible how she came up with the world in “Divergent.”

Sam: “Mass Effect” I think the universe of the “Mass Effect” series is essentially perfect. It’s impossible for me to pick one planet or area but some of my favorites are the Citadel and Omega. There is something so epic and almost overwhelming about the sprawling cities that prove to be diverse underneath the surface. Going a step further, all of the detail put into different species, backstories and aes- thetic of each area is just mind-boggling. If I could live in the universe of “Mass Effect,” I would.

Basketball fans could not have asked for a more entertaining National Championship game last Monday night. The Vir- ginia Cavaliers took on the Texas Tech Red Raiders in an unlikely matchup. Many were concerned these two teams would not put on an intriguing show but view- ers got quite the opposite. The Cavaliers defeated the Red Raiders in overtime by a score of 85-77. Like many basketball games, this game featured runs made by both teams. The teams struggled a bit offensively in the beginning of the game as nerves were surely running high. After settling in, Virginia was able to open up a ten point lead just after the halfway mark of the first half.
