Choosing the Best Path

Back in my much younger days, which was predominantly lived during the 90s, video games were expanding their reach and influence. That decade was full of corporate competition between two developing heavyweights, Sega and Nintendo. It would be known as the Great Console War, and out of it came the fruits of competitive engineering. By…Read more Choosing the Best Path

When Our Reputation Is At Stake

I have actively played World of Warcraft for 13 years and counting. My wife and I got married in 2006 and moved into a small apartment in a tiny town that had very little to offer as far as entertainment. Both of us were raised on Blizzard titles, Warcraft and Diablo being the two that…Read more When Our Reputation Is At Stake

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

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. Justin (that’s his name) has an eye for retro-style video games that have similar…Read more Accept No Substitutes

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. I would imagine that everyone reading these devotionals are from different areas of not only the United States but possibly the entire world. 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. For me, there is nothing better than an obscure, unique, and slightly demented indie title to sate my thirst for true art. 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
