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...

I sat down and played a 30-40 minute demo of the first segment of the game. I...

When I first joined The Roundup as a sophomore, I only envisioned myself writing one article....
On their 40th anniversary tour, Rush came to Dallas with energy and a set that ran the gamut of their career. This seems appropriate considering that before the tour began, the members concurred that this tour would likely be their last, particularly because of drummer Neil Peart’s chronic tendonitis (and if you’ve ever seen what he does, it’s understandable...
The action movie genre’s former glory with classics such as The Dark Knight, T2, and The Matrix has vanished, filled to the brim instead with cheap remakes and sequels nobody wanted or asked for. The last couple movies I’ve seen have left me disappointed and bitter, angry that millions of dollars were spent to create a work so mediocre it...
