High School , I believe, is another example of the results of the fall of mankind. Not a great experience. My associate's degree from my local community college was significantly better, but mostly due to the knowledge that I gained from the classes. Full on adult life has its ups and down. But the time … Continue reading A Love Letter to My Alma Mater
My Three Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon From Each Generation
For those that play Pokemon, favorites are natural. Some people prefer Pokemon that look weird, other prefer ones that look cool. Some prefer Pokemon that perform well competitively, others prefer a certain type of Pokemon. Me? I definitely have my favorites, mostly based on how cool I think the Pokemon looks. I also have favorite … Continue reading My Three Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon From Each Generation
A Ranking of the Main-Series Pokemon Games
Pokemon Let's Go, Pikachu and Let's Go, Eevee are hitting the shelves tomorrow. Personally, I'm still waffling on whether or not to buy it, but I thought a good way to mark the occasion would be to have a couple Pokemon related blog posts. The best way to start it off, I figure, is to … Continue reading A Ranking of the Main-Series Pokemon Games
Aladdin: The Live Musical Review
Recently, I took my wife out to see Aladdin, the live musical, for her birthday. She had actually never seen Aladdin, the animated Disney movie, before where I had grown up rewatching it on a regular basis. Needless to say, both of us had very different expectations when we walked into the theater. For those … Continue reading Aladdin: The Live Musical Review
Why The Lord of the Rings is the Best Film Trilogy
It's the age of the geek, baby (Hm... I wonder if I should note when things are references for those who don't get them). As such, it's always cool to have your nerdy corner, if not many. Funny enough, before I was the huge Spider-Man fan that I am (I've always been a Spidey fan, … Continue reading Why The Lord of the Rings is the Best Film Trilogy
The War on Worship…? (Why You Should Be Listening to Andrew Peterson)
Lutheran Satire is perhaps one of my favorite Youtube channels out there. The creator, a Lutheran pastor, regularly makes videos that poke fun at heresies, bad church practices, and popular misconceptions about Jesus. While I don't necessarily agree with him on every point, he definitely has a way with words and his videos are entertaining, … Continue reading The War on Worship…? (Why You Should Be Listening to Andrew Peterson)
Top 20 Video Games
I recently got finished with the bracket for the Greatest Video Game of All-Time. While I put a lot of thought into that, there were a few games that I missed. It was a pretty ambitious first endeavor, but to wrap it up nicely and put a bow on it, I figured I'd include a … Continue reading Top 20 Video Games
Blog Updates
Hey, everyone! I decided to take some time to do a couple aesthetic changes to the blog. Here's a short rundown: There's been a few changes to the images on the blog. There's now a drop-down menu where you can access previous blog posts based on their category. There's now a Facebook button, where you … Continue reading Blog Updates
Facing Failure
A couple of weeks ago, my pastor asked the congregation to anonymously answer a question on a website, the results of which he would use as a sermon illustration. We were asked, "What is your greatest fear?". I sat for a moment to think about what my answer should be. It wasn't more than a … Continue reading Facing Failure
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs Super Smash Bros Wii U
It's all come to this. The finals. This bracket has had a lot of interesting match-ups, but two very deserving games have made it to the final segment. Both games hold the legacy of their entire franchise on their shoulders. Both would receive at least a 9.5 if I reviewed them on a scale of … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs Super Smash Bros Wii U
