As I was coming into the office today, I…Read more Angry…but Under Control Birds

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

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.

I also touched on games that were a blatant rip-off of their source…Read more Nothing New Under the Sun…Especially with Games

When the Flood Overwhelms You

Life is not all about video games. If that were the case then none of us would leave our homes to experience what is in the great outdoors.

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

Between Darkness and Light

Just to let you know, I am currently very involved with playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Very involved! This is a title that I waited on for quite a while, and when it finally dropped I felt as if the culmination of my childhood flooded right back into my life. All of my favorite video…Read more Between Darkness and Light

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

Being a True Action Hero

If there is ever a Gamers Dictionary released in the future, which I would love to help with writing, I can imagine that the word "tenacity" would be one that would fit right within the those pages like a grammatical glove. After all, if you have ever played through any of the current generation of…Read more Being a True Action Hero
