Review – Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly (Demo)

January 23, 2023.Reading time 3 minutes.

Coffee is part of my life, and has been even more since I’ve been married to my wonderful Colombian wife. Colombia produces some of the world’s best coffee and we drink it every morning, though her cup is much more filled than mine. I don’t need it for the caffeine, it’s all about the taste […]

Daily Nerd Devo – Sitting Down For A Cup

December 7, 2022.Reading time 1 minute.

As I’ve pondered the idea of creating a podcast on my own, just the amount of work that I would have to do on top of maintaining what I already do for Gaming & God feels overwhelming. I’m glad I have the opportunity to post a few of my blog posts in audio form for […]

What the Golf? Is Partastic

October 26, 2022.Reading time 5 minutes.

I was first introduced to What the Golf?’ while watching DGR (popular YouTuber and streamer of all things Mario) play a few levels on YouTube. It was a great exercise in disrupting the equilibrium of expectations, as the game had a way of turning those expectations on their collective ears. It put a smile on […]

Coffee Talk Helps Get Past Our Differences

October 12, 2022.Reading time 6 minutes.

There’s nothing like a cup of coffee, lo-fi music, and some time to relax and unwind. This is something I personally enjoy doing in the mornings, or at night except with no coffee. A game that puts all of this together in a rainy setting is Coffee Talk, an indie game I have had the […]

Review: SNES/Super Famicom: a visual compendium

September 6, 2022.Reading time 3 minutes.

Books are wonderful and I am one who loves to collect them for various reasons. If it’s a video game book, I look for ones that contain the industry’s history or artwork that is hard to find. The good people over at Bitmap Books have put together volumes that make my wallet tremble, so this […]

Mario by Faith, Not by Sight?

June 27, 2022.Reading time 5 minutes.

Was that the 10th step or the 11th? Perhaps you have had similar thoughts while negotiating stairs in the dark. Was that the last step or is there one more? Guess wrong or misremember and you’re reaching for a phantom top step (with that brief frightful feeling of stepping through nothingness) or confidently hurting your […]

Five Streamers You Should Be Following

June 20, 2022.Reading time 10 minutes.

There are more and more faith-based streamers on Twitch, Youtube, Facebook, and (insert new streaming platform) constantly coming up and growing communities. I myself would love to stream, though I’m not very “entertaining” so when I ever do it’s to chat with others and get through my backlog. For those that take it seriously though, […]

Retro Gaming Club: The SNES Pixel Book (Review)

April 26, 2022.Reading time 6 minutes.

Every generation has an opinion on when the golden era of video game consoles happened. It could be when the PlayStation and Xbox were released, or when the PS2 and XBOX 360 came out, maybe when the Wii U hit store shelves, or you can go way back in the day with the NES. For […]
