Outer Wilds — The Rest of the Sessions Back in January of this year, I wrote my first piece on my playthrough of Outer Wilds. …

Rev up those fryers, it’s the finale to Halo: Reach with Erin! It’s been a long and fun journey playing co-op with Erin for the last several months. But all journeys must come to an end so that we can start a new one. The final mission of Reach left…

A Return to the Gym Where the Magic Happens I live in south central Wisconsin, and there’s a local gym chain here called “Princeton Club”. Back in 2019, I decided to sign up for a membership. Going through the usual malarkey involved with a gym membership (which is more like a contract), I paid something to the effect of…

Every week, the While Rome Burns crew gathers round to watch a film of questionable content and give their two cents as it unfolds. This tradition goes back farther than the creation of our site, so when we’re feeling lazy, we dig into the archives for something we already watched…

Pikachu and a Spicy Pupper’s Promenade through the Kalos Region With Leaf Green, SoulSilver, and Alpha Sapphire behind me, it was time to take in the beautiful sights and sounds of the Kalos region of Pokemon Y, modeled after the country of France.
