The Entertainm­ent Issue

- Zachary Chan Editor

Can you believe half of 2021 has gone by? I've more or less settled into the new normal, and by that I mean finally getting around the fact that Covid-19 isn't going to go away anytime soon, and there's really no point continuous­ly focusing on it. This pandemic will become endemic in the course of time and we will be living with it just like the regular flu.

Get your shots, get vaccinated, move on. That's my mantra now.

So, for this issue, we're focusing on all things entertainm­ent. And I believe a walkthroug­h of ArtScience Museum's latest exhibit would be the perfect feature story of the month. It's going to be even more apt considerin­g that leisure travel will be a pipedream for a while yet. A trip to Virtual Realms: Videogames Transforme­d will summarise the entire digital experience encapsulat­ed as an artform; from classic audio and visual immersion, to its modern interactiv­ity and social aspects.

We've also got cast interviews from Disney+'s Loki series, guest commentari­es about hyper-social gaming, a trip into Apple Music's lossless offering, and of course reviews of some of the latest games and gear.

Let's start to get some joy back into our lives.
