This week we had on Caleb Miller, an army chaplain and the writer of an article published by Modern Reformation entitled "Thinking Theologically About Video Games".

Check out Cale...

Our Facebook group is The...

This week we're talking about the indie darling, Hades. Did SuperGiant games make something that would send us back to the beginning but begging for more, or does the game belong in the pit of despair? I'm sure if you've heard us talk about it before you already know the answer, but we're still talking about the game today anyway.

This week we're putting our feet up and playing a game. A trivia game based around our Top 100 games list! Thing is, that means there are 100 questions, which makes for quite a beefy boy.
