Amidst the cacophony of miscellaneous presidential campaigns, one name rings out against the din with a building clarity that sharpens every day. “Bernie Sanders” It should come as no surprise that such candidate as Senator Sanders and his unique policies would resonate so intensely in today’s political landscape. Since the beginning of his sixteen year long seat in the House of...
Hillary Clinton. That name alone elicits strong reactions from people all over the political spectrum, with universal disgust on the right, enthusiastic support from the center-left, and disappointment from the far left. But by the end of the day, on November 8, 2016, it'll most likely be her name on the ballot getting tens of millions of votes—and she may very well...
Fun fact: you can be a justice of the U.S Supreme Court, so can anyone else on the planet, a dog, or even a rock.  This is obviously a comical interpretation of the Constitution; a dog will never become a Supreme Court justice.  The reason that all of the justices have been humans with some legal training is because...
The shiny floors of the main hallway vibrate under the footsteps of all Jesuit's students, new and returning. Teachers meet their students whom they will guide this year for the first time. And, inevitably, some students start to complain about the five-day week of early wake-up times. Yes, the academic year has started at our home on the 28 Acres. Last...
When the embargo for reviews for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain were lowered I waited anxiously for the reviews to be posted. I was nervous that the game I had been looking forward to since 2008 and openly since 2012 was as good as I had hoped it could be. The first review for the game I...
The GameStop on Forest and Preston probably was pretty busy from 4:00-5:00 pm on August 25th, dealing with customers, including some of Jesuit’s finest, in search of their very own copy of the new Madden 16. The Madden franchise, which has a reputation of just being a roster update each year, looked to improve by overhauling one of the...
Few franchises stay true to their roots, fewer are successful commercially by doing so. Mega Man for the most part has stayed true to its original ideals. Though the most recent games were lacking when it came to sales. The Mega Man Legacy Collection allows older fans of the franchise with the ability to play the first six games...
At the first day of RTX 2015, I had the opportunity to interview Ian from The Behemoth, asking him some intriguing questions about The Behemoth’s new game Pit People. Pit People, which was previously named Video Game 4 because it is the developers fourth game, was an absolute blast to play.   I sat down and played a 30-40 minute demo of the first segment of the game. I...
