Well well, it's been a little longer than I'd like here on the blog, but I suppose that's how it is when you start a full time job. Thankfully, I haven't stopped writing altogether, and here's a selection of what I've posted around the web.
From Rare to 'ReCore': Can Xbox Attract Nintendo Fans?
This story was written before the release of ReCore but I like to think it's interesting as a history of Microsoft's efforts to create an identity that might attract old-school game fans.
Four Games That Could Make Stronger Movies Than Uncharted
Fun fact: shortly after finishing this story, the fourth entry, Monster Hunter, was confirmed to be an actual Hollywood project by Capcom. I'm still trying to campaign to write the sucker.

Four Nostalgic Trends We Want To See (That Aren’t From The 90s)
Being Gen-Y, I have plenty of nostalgia for the nineties in games, but here are four trends that would be great to come back that aren't strictly about nineties nostalgia.
POINT AND COUNTERPOINT [PREDESTINATION] BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeletePOINT: All Christians have been predestined for salvation. (Ephesians 1:1-12)
COUNTERPOINT: Men have not been predestined to become Christians. Christians become Christians by obeying the gospel terms for pardon. (Ephesians 1:13 In Him, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation---having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,(NASB)
Salvation is available to all men who hear and obey the gospel.(Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,)(NASB)
Whoever believes will have eternal life, not who has been individually selected before the earth was made. (John3:18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.)(NASB)
All men have the free-will to obey the gospel or reject it. Men can reject Jesus as the Son of God. Men can reject immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins.
THE GOSPEL TERMS FOR PARDON
FAITH: John 3:16
REPENTANCE: Acts 3:19
CONFESSION: Romans 10:9
WATER BAPTISM: Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16
God does force men to obey the gospel nor does He force them to reject it. All men have free-will.
