Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Episodes 1-4

Well, huh. This happened again...

Anyway, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a short (hence only 4 episodes) platformer in the style of the old Castlevania games. It serves as a prequel and companion piece to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which will be coming out in mid June. I wanted to make sure to give it a play before that game comes out!

Hollow Knight Double Feature and Guild Wars 1: Getting to 10k Luxon Faction

I didn't feel like starting a new thing for one episode, so Friday gets to be an honorary member of the weekend this week. At least for my video series, at least!

The first two of these are continuing my journey in Hollow Knight, as I pursue the requirements necessary to get a better ending.

The third video is more Guild Wars 1 stuff. Specifically, I continue what I'd started last time with the pursuit of 10,000 Luxon faction, except there's no anniversary celebration weekend to distract me!

Shadow of War Miniseries Episodes 3-6

Well, uh, spoilers for tomorrow, I guess, but I finished of the Middle-earth: Shadow of War miniseries today! Which is definitely not a Friday, so that's kinda awkward...

I had fun with this miniseries, though. Definitely something worth considering in the future as a format!

Free Will vs. Predestination: What's the debate about? - Geekdom of God Ep. 47



Christian theologians have long debated whether we have free will or if we are predestined. This debate can be rather confusing, so I endeavor to break down and analyse these concepts and topics in this video.

Hollow Knight Epilogue Episode 1 and Guild Wars 1 Anniversary

Guild Chat is gone, so the weekends are now whatever I feel like them being. For right now, Saturday is going to be more Hollow Knight, at least until I get a better ending than I did during the main playthrough.

The Sunday video is just some Guild Wars 1 stuff, because I love that game. :D

The Surge Episodes 6-8 and Shadow of War Miniseries Episodes 1-2

Hey everyone. Well, this was quite an interesting week for the Let's Play series, huh?

I ended up deciding to stop playing The Surge because I found the combat too frustrating to be fun. This led to a pivot to playing Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, just to have some fun. That's gonna end up being a longer thing than I expected, though definitely not as long as a full playthrough of the game would be. I just want to get my fortress back!

The Spouse-Idol - Geekdom of God Ep. 46



Our culture has fed us the idea that romantic relationships—particularly the spousal one—are the best type of relationship out there, and that having one is the key to happiness, if not more.

In this week's episode, I'm going to look at and challenge this idea.

The Magic Circle Epilogue and Guild Chat: Creep Scope

The first video this weekend is an epilogue to the The Magic Circle playthrough. Given the ridiculous length of that game's finale, I didn't really have time in the final episode to give my thoughts on the game. Also, I wanted more time to digest and process it. So I decided to share my thoughts here.

The second video is a Guild Chat on scope creep, which is when a project slowly balloons to ridiculous proportions to the point where completing it becomes too resource intensive to do well.

This weekend also marks a bit of a change in the weekend video slots. I've decided that, in general, the Guild Chat videos are a bit too much of a content mismatch between the audio and video portions. As such, I'm discontinuing the idea. While I may still make videos on random discussion topics, I want to handle them in a more cohesive way when I do make them.

Moving forward, you can usually expect edited gameplay with live commentary, but unlike the Let's Plays, these videos will be with games I have experience with. Basically, I'm usually going to use these slots to play some games I've played before and I enjoy continuing to play. That said, I do intend to experiment with the weekend slots, too, so there will be some unexpected stuff!

Let's Play The Surge Episodes 1-5

As I finished The Magic Circle last week, this week we start a new game: The Surge! This game is set in the relatively near future, and features the dubious tech company, CREO, doing something dubious. Like their surgical procedures.

The game itself is a "Souls-like," which is a fancy way of saying it has combat mechanics reminiscent of Dark Souls, et al.

The Trinity - Geekdom of God Ep. 45



The Trinity is an important theological concept in Christianity about the nature of God, but it can often be confusing or ambiguous. In this episode, I delve into this topic to explain what the Trinity is!

Guild Chat: Playgrounds to Gyms and Star Wars Continuities

In the first Guild Chat, I discuss how the ways we exercise change as we grow up.

In the second Guild Chat, I explain why I think the Original and Prequel Star Wars trilogies are in different continuities.

Let's Play The Magic Circle

The Magic Circle is a relatively short (given I finished it in one week!) game, but a very interesting one. I'll definitely have a future video discussing it. The game itself is a sort of metaphor for creativity and creation from multiple angles using the premise of a game called "The Magic Circle." It's very interesting, and a real thinker of a game!
