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...

Join us for this week's gaming Bible study as we explore the "Night that Fortnite Died" and the importance of holding onto our faith even when we are experiencing a "black hole" right now! #fortnite #epic #epicgames #videogames #christianreels

Join us for this week's Gaming Bible Study as we reflect on Marvel's Spider-Man, swinging past his origin story in his video games, and the importance of moving forward as new creations in Christ into a "Brand New Day"! #spiderman #brandnewday #spidermanbrandnewday #videogames #christianreels

Join us for this week's gaming bible study as we take a look back at the original Metal Gear Solid, the reality about the card keys we were looking for (that we had the entire time), and the truth about the way the temperature of our environment changes not only our card keys in MGS but is used by the Lord to shape us for the missions He has for us!#metalgear #metalgearsolid #videogames #bible...

Happy Pokémon Day! Please join us as we dig into the central premise of the entire franchise (gotta catch 'em all) and the importance of letting go of the "real world" pocket monsters that we unknowingly carry around in our lives. #pokemon #pokémon #pokémonday #pokemonday #happypokemonday #pokemonday2026

Join us for this week's Gaming Bible Study as we dig into Assassin's Creed, the parallels in the Biblical story of Ehud, and the encouragement we learned! #assassinscreed #biblestudy #encouragement #findinggodinvideogames #Videogames

Join us for our full panel discussion as Finding God in Video Games, TWWK from Beneath the Tangles, and Samuru from Gaming and God come together at FaithCon 2025 for an hour-long discussion as we share our perspectives and answer the tough questions about faith, gaming, and anime! Whether you are searching for deeper reflections behind the breakout Netflix sensation "KPop Demon Hunters",...

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...

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 pl...

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. After years of watching Loki’s transformation unfold across multiple MCU movies and two seasons of his own series, Loki made the ultimate “sacrifice play” to protect the life and free will of every creature across the multiverse. As the event...

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...

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. #TombRaider #laracroft #laracrofttombraider #videogames #christianvideos #christianreels #christianity #marymagdalene #jesus #tomb #christianpodcas...

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 ot...

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”...

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...

As gamers, we know how we like our scoundrels... a thief we can root for in spite of their roguish behavior who conceals a heart of gold behind their gruff exterior. While their actions may be occasionally deplorable, we can’t help but to root for them to swoop in and save the day at the last second, and Uncharted's Nathan Drake embodies all of this over the course of his hero journey, living...

Achievements... maybe these little “sounds” and their accompanying notifications mean absolutely nothing to you, and you have always simply played video games for the sheer joy of it. I was once much like you… but then a terrible and shameful addiction took hold of me. My purpose for playing games became horrifically twisted as I fell down a never-ending rabbit hole of playing truly horrible title...

As a gamer, I appreciate a certain amount of predictability in many aspects of the game. I certainly enjoy a well-crafted narrative turn and a few surprises from time to time… but when I am trying to craft a strategy that is contingent on specific criteria such as the routes that guards are walking or where enemies spawn, I prefer consistency over creativity. I mean, who wants to attempt a challen...

When it comes to linear game experiences that feature binary decisions, there are certainly titles in which there is only ONE way to succeed and a plethora of ways to fail. But as a gamer who frequently plays open-world adventures, the sheer volume of choices tends to mean that nobody will play the same game in the exact same way. While that is part of the “charm” of such games, it also opens up t...

Join us as we explore a unique challenge when picking up Star Wars: Jedi Survivor… not in the game itself, but in the amount of STORAGE the game requires to install. And along the way we will share what we learned about making room for the Lord in our lives so we can enjoy the BEST things… even if that means some “good” things might have to give up some of their space on our “hard drives” :) #star...

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! One of the longest running questions that Star Wars fans across the galaxy were asking since the debut of Grogu (or Baby Yoda if you refuse to accept his legal name) was finally answered… and in a manner nobody was expecting. It was neither luck nor skill that saved young Grogu… it was Jar Jar all along. Fine, fine… to be fair it was not ACTUALLY Jar Jar, Binks but it IS the ac...

The surge in popularity of class-based games such as Overwatch and Apex Legends and the continuing dominance of titles like Team Fortress and League of Legends has brought the age-old concept of building a perfect team into the limelight… these class-based games allow participants to choose roles that are better suited to their play style as tank-like warriors, range-focused fighters, nimble assas...

Please join us as we sit down with Brent Dusing from TruPlay Games to discuss the state of the gaming industry and the challenging headwinds that have shipwrecked recent game releases like "The Day After" and "Concord"... causing the downfall of entire development studios in the process. What does this mean for the talented team at TruPlay? Well, they are attacking these obstac...
