Despair is kind of a scary word… it implies a lack of faith that anything is going to get better. But if we are being honest with ourselves, even as followers of Christ there are plenty of times that despair shows up in our lives and we simply let it crash in the couch… sometimes we even cook it breakfast. Despair takes many forms beyond deciding that a game is so unbeatable that we hide it behind other games on the shelf so we can forget about it… it’s that voice that convinces us to give up because our eventual failure is “in our genes” or “this is just the way it is”. It’s the lurking presence behind every diet we’ve ever quit, every new skill we decided we don’t have time to cultivate, and every dream we have ever buried. Despair is more than just the fear of failure… it’s the absence of hope. And in this video, we are going to share our own battle with escaping the "pit of despair"... and what the Lord showed us through our own real world walk through the valley of the shadow of death.#videogames #Despair #pitofdespair #valleyoftheshadowofdeath #hope #encouragement #christianliving #brokenness #broken #christianreels #christianvideos #jesus #God #emptytomb #faith #FaithJourney #gaming #gamingpodcast #christianpodcast #christianpodcaster #gamingpodcaster

One bad day… those three words are typically the catalyst for almost every superhero story that we have ever enjoyed over the years. Bruce Wayne was living a fairly unexciting life until one bad day irrevocably changed the trajectory of his destiny forever and led to his life of vigilante justice as Batman. Matt Murdoch was just a normal boy until an accident stripped him of his natural vision and led to his enhanced senses as the blind yet super-humanly protector of the streets known as Daredevil. But the opposite is also true… one bad day has also led to the tragic creation of entire leagues of supervillains who were driven mad by some form of tragedy or loss, or they experienced an accident that left them in a condition that mutated their world into a horrific nightmare. These “bad days” came for all of them, and how they chose to react to these circumstances redefined them in ways that would irrevocably change the course of their destiny.Join us as we explore the theme of "one bad day" across the entire spectrum of comic book heroes and villains and share some insight we learned from the prophet Elijah when he experienced his "one bad day"... and the hope we can find in the answers he received.#onebadday #badday #DaredevilBornAgain #daredevil #punisher #batman #ironman #marvel #marvelcomics #endgame #avengers #DC #mcu #christianvideos #christianreels #hope #faith #encouragement #superhero #superheroes #Elijah #nerdpodcast #christianpodcast #christianpodcaster

GameStop has been a “nerd oasis” for me throughout my life. Within their stores I have discovered new games, met some of my dearest friends, and whether I was there on a mission or simply killing time, going into a “GameStop” always felt like a safe haven… it smelled like nerd, it looked like nerd, it sounded like nerd, it felt like nerd, and I was here for it. But their warranty or "protection plans" have never been my favorite part of the experience, and when they started replacing new items with "pre-owned" ones as part of that policy, that was a bridge too far. But did we actually read the fine print?

SPOILER ALERT WARNING – Loki Season Two Finale spoilers are ahead, so please turn back and come back to us if you want to complete that journey spoiler-free.

Over the years, I have played a LOT of “broken games” … some that were based on licensed properties that were poorly made, others that possessed great potential but contained a few fatal flaws, and many that were terrible ideas that were somehow executed even worse than their concept. And then there is this new impossibly awful King Kong game, “Skull Island: Rise of Kong”, which has somehow found a way to be all three of these at the same time, emerging as possibly the most broken game of the modern era. 

In this week's "Video Game Rewind", join us as we explore the history of the most "Tomb Raider" in gaming history... and learn a little bit more about an even more iconic Tomb Raider who beat Ms. Croft to the punch by about 2,000 years, Mary Magdalene.

Please don't judge me... but there was a period of time in my life in which I was a very committed "Sims" player. If you haven't played one of these games, the mix of exhilaration and frustration that ensues can be highly addictive. The lack of complete control over these virtual avatars is one of the main sources of the chaos at the heart of the series... because with free will comes a host of other problems.

After years of anxious anticipation, Konami finally graced us with something we have all been asking for… with the release of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, almost all of Solid Snake’s original adventures are available in one curated set of games to be discovered by a new generation of gamers (or rediscovered by those of us who were around for the original releases). But this “collection” seems to be missing a few things… make that SEVERAL things.

In this "Video Game Rewind" we are taking a look back at one of the most iconic co-operative dungeon crawlers of all time... Gauntlet. And along the way I will share the most dangerous opponent that I encountered in the game... and found that just as I have often found in my real-world adventures, I was my own worst enemy. But struggling with these self-inflicted wounds doesn't mean that we are a hopeless case... we just need to look for hope in the right place :)
