A little while back I read someone rant about the concept of "thoughts and prayers" was the most useless thing ever. For example, if there was some sort of tragedy, let's say an earthquake, one might find someone who would say, "my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the earthquake". The ranter … Continue reading Modern American Culture and Christianity

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs Warcraft III: Frozen Throne
The first Legend of Zelda game that I ever played was Wind Waker. I fell in love. There was this sense of adventure (oh, PBG), this wonderful art, and gameplay that I could come back to any time. It only grew from there. I immediately went out and got the Master Quest edition of Ocarina … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs Warcraft III: Frozen Throne
The Worst Video Game I Have Ever Played
Have you ever played a video game so bad that it hurt your brain? Perhaps more importantly, have you ever played a video game so bad that it hurt your brain but you beat the entire game anyway, then bough the sequel, which was equally bad? If not, good. You've still retained your sanity. I'm … Continue reading The Worst Video Game I Have Ever Played
The Comforting Theology of Sovereignty
I'm currently sick. I've been coughing up a ton. My trash can is full of tissues. My wife and I aren't sleeping as much as we'd like to because we're both coughing and waking each other up. It kinda sucks and I wish that I was better. It may sound strange, but this is one … Continue reading The Comforting Theology of Sovereignty
Battle for Middle-Earth 2 vs Fire Emblem Awakening
Oh boy, we're in to the second round matches. These are going to be really difficult to figure out. Oh well, I'm sure that it'll be fun. As a sort of intro to these next rounds, I figure I'd talk about how I was introduced to the games. All of these games have special places … Continue reading Battle for Middle-Earth 2 vs Fire Emblem Awakening

Rock Band 2 VS Kingdom Hearts 2
I have so many silly memories of Rock Band. Perhaps the most vivid is my complete destroying the of drum pedal of the drum set provided by the game. Everything about that pedal was destroyed, but I still found it usable via plenty of duct tape (like the entire thing was covered), a bunch of … Continue reading Rock Band 2 VS Kingdom Hearts 2
Lessons I’ve Learned: Life is Short
October 20th, 2015. It was an early morning. I'm asleep, my best friend and roommate is sleep in a bunk bed in the same room. I wake up to a text. It's about 6am. A mother-like figure in my life has texted me a link to a new article of a motorcycle crash that had … Continue reading Lessons I’ve Learned: Life is Short
The Importance of Theology
Theology is kind of a weird word that to some people just means "nerdy church people who take themselves too seriously" or maybe even "um... I'm not sure". And that's completely understandable. Not every person is going in the ivory church steeple of theological academia. This sort of characterization of theology is sad because theology … Continue reading The Importance of Theology
Halo: Reach vs Final Fantasy 7
Remember how the last entry in this tournament mentioned that a lot of the picks in the first round have very little in common? I think that these two games probably have about as much in common as the next two (Rock Band 2 and Kingdom Hearts 2)... basically nothing. Scratch that, at least those … Continue reading Halo: Reach vs Final Fantasy 7
