Being Squishy While Being Strong

Have you ever heard the phrase, “glass cannon?” At face value this phrase appears to be very contradictory; after all, there is no way a high explosive can be contained within a glass casing. However, for a gamer, glass cannons are everywhere, and they are not to be underestimated. Most of the time you will…Read more Being Squishy While Being Strong

Training to Win!

So, I did something recently that is quite uncharacteristic of myself; I entered into a Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament. If I am to be completely honest, I do not really play many video games, and the ones that I do play are rarely competitive. Smash Bros. however, has proven to be one of those competitive…Read more Training to Win!

Angry…but Under Control Birds

I don’t think that anyone will be too hard pressed to see that there is an anger issue in the world. Whether you are hanging out online or driving to work, the searing heat of an agitated individual is easy to spot from a mile away. As I was coming into the office today, I…Read more Angry…but Under Control Birds

Remember the Fallen, Leaving a Legacy

The great theologian Thomas Campbell once said, “To live in the hearts of those we love is not to die.” This last weekend marked the unofficial kickoff date for summer as families gathered with one another to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the country they love. Memorial Day Weekend is known for…Read more Remember the Fallen, Leaving a Legacy

All That Glitters is Gil and Garbage

It is said that money makes the world go round. Money, cash, cheddar, “the big green,” whatever you want to call it, is certainly important in this world, but I would hardly call it the most important thing on this spinning marble. I will admit, however, that the absence of money appears to have more…Read more All That Glitters is Gil and Garbage

Finding that Classified Information

I am certain that video games would not be as popular as they are today if they didn’t present a challenge to players. It is the heart-pounding, nail-biting, controller chucking moments that often become the most memorable in the minds of gamers. The Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not…Read more Finding that Classified Information

Diving into a New Reality

As a kid growing up in the 80s and the 90s, nothing intrigued me more than virtual reality. The early stages of VR were laughable at best, but that didn’t keep me from wanting to dive into another world. Nintendo seemed to think that VR was the wave of the future as well, so they…Read more Diving into a New Reality

Escaping the “Rogue-like” Life

Mindlessly grinding through the same content over and over again gets pretty monotonous for most gamers. Many of them want to play something fresh without buying a new game every week or so. In order to correct this problem with content, some developers decided to switch things up and allow for the games to recreate…Read more Escaping the “Rogue-like” Life

Nothing New Under the Sun…Especially with Games

After taking a little time to do more exploring through the clustered mess that is Steam, I discovered more about their catalog. Last week I posted a devotional called “Accept No Substitutes” which explored the problem with counterfeits to the Christian faith. I also touched on games that were a blatant rip-off of their source…Read more Nothing New Under the Sun…Especially with Games

In Search of the Perfect MOTHER

It is that time of the year again. That’s right, Mother’s Day is here and we are all reminded to pay homage to the one woman that we should have been thanking all year anyway. You can say that this holiday was created by card companies and florists, but no one will deny that Mother’s…Read more In Search of the Perfect MOTHER
