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

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

Accept No Substitutes

I have an old college friend that I will occasionally play PC games with via Steam. He, like myself, enjoys good indie titles and is always on the hunt for great games that harken back to the golden age of gaming.

When the Flood Overwhelms You

I personally live in…Read more When the Flood Overwhelms You

The Easy Mode for Life…Oh Wait, Nevermind

For those of you that know me, it will not surprise you to hear that I am an indie game fanatic.

That is one of the reasons why I picked up the incredible…Read more The Easy Mode for Life…Oh Wait, Nevermind

Attaching, Detaching, and Reattaching to Faith

There is no question that video games are pieces of art. Sure, maybe that premise was questioned at one point, but now it appears as if the bulk of society can concur that video games are indeed artistic creations. The content within them causes players to experience real emotion as they laugh, cry, and rage…Read more Attaching, Detaching, and Reattaching to Faith

You Can’t Live Without Direction

Video games have been around for roughly 40 years. From the earliest arcade cabinets to the newest systems, games are always played by using controls. As a fan of classic and modern gaming alike, I have made it a personal goal of mine to own at least one controller of ever gaming console that has…Read more You Can’t Live Without Direction

The Hardest Teacher

If there is one question that pastors get asked more than any other it is this: “why does God allow for His people to suffer? If God is so good then why would He let his beloved people wallow in a hospital bed wracked with cancer or self-destruct from mental illness? Where is the justice…Read more The Hardest Teacher

Doubting That Leap

Out of all the video game genres represented in the world today, there is one that shines as not only the oldest but also the most challenging. Platformers are games that present their audience with a series of obstacles that they must leap over, or onto, in order to get to the end of the…Read more Doubting That Leap
