Theology Gaming Podcast

Zach, Eric of Nerd Chapel, Matthew Eyler (some dude) and Jonathan Clauson talk about what we're playing, gaming habits, screaming children, and violent sneezes.

What else can we say? A controversial character buttressed by one of the finest (if not THE finest) character action game combat in existence, Bayonetta abounds in endless joy, dumb reference, and self-awareness. Find out why Zach likes it a whole lot!

Zach, Josh, and Jon(athan Clauson) talk about the most dreaded of all anti-Christian/possibly Christian holidays, Halloween!

Zach, Michael, and Johnathan talk about a whole lot of things. Many things. And our favorite games! Topics include, end times prophecy, Bible movies, adventure games, dialogue trees and miscellaneous rambling about video games.

First up, I figured my recent Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay overview would do wonders in monologue format, so here you go. Comments, feedback, and the like are much appreciated!

Thomas Henshell, director and developer of Archmage Rises, talks about Archmage Rises! How does a great concept turn into a game? We find out! Is it a Christian game, and what inspired it?

Zach, Josh, Ted, and Jonathan R. Clauson talk about mature things and pigeons. Topics include Destiny, Akiba's Trip, Diablo III, Dragon's Crown, Roundabout, Gang Beasts, Lethal League, Hatoful Boyfriend, and I don't know, maybe pigeons.

The Holy Spirit is a complicated, confusing subject with a lot of varying opinions as to its existence, effects, and efficacy (hurray for alliteration!). Zach and Michael go from history lessons to charismatic ideas to how we disagree and agree.e

Episode 50! We made it! Sort of! Topics include eschatology, Heaven, Revelation, Paradise, and a whole lot of other timely stuff (Destiny being the most notable). Maybe PSP-related things, as well as SRPG recommendations!

Zach, Andrew Crawford, Thomas Henshell, and GameChurch City Mayor April-Lyn Caouette talk about time management. Will it be slow or fast paced? Topics include Diablo III, Doritos, Peter Jackson, The Abyss, a theology of leisure and work, Minecraft,, etc.

Zach, Michael Jones, Eric Anderson, Justin Fox (and his wife Lauren), and Matt Eyler talk about why they play games, and Anita Sarkeesian. Confused? So was I, but we come up with things on the fly, like the Lightning Round!

So why are a bunch of Christians dudes playing Diablo? Find out! Topics range from Diablo's lore to Lars von Trier, for some reason!

Zach, Josh, Ted, and Johnathan R. Clauson talk about lots of things, but mostly video games. And tangents, because that's a podcast in general. What else would you expect? We talk a little about the "Being a 'Gamer'" article, among other things!

Ever have a conversation, and then things go in a completely different direction you didn't anticipate, but turned into something fascinating regardless? That happened to Zachery Oliver, Matt Eyler, Thomas Henshell, and Michael Jones!

Zach, Ted, and Josh talk about how they got into video games, and how that affected their faith, or spiritual formation. Sounds boring? Well, you'd be wrong! Topics go all over the place, from Bayonetta to Bally Astrocades!

Zach and Michael Jones, the Guidance Counselor Pastor Person (?) talk about Puzzle and Dragons. Also, lots of rambling! And eating sounds! Topics include Puzzle and Dragons (duh), Dynasty Warriors, Smash Bros., Kingdom Hearts, and other stuff.

Video games are fun. Let's talk about play and playing video games theologically! WELCOME TO THE FUNCAST. Topics include a whole lot of stuff we're playing. Listen!

Soul to Soul returns, with Ted Loring beginning a game of Dark Souls!

A pompous sounding title for a down-to-earth discussion. Join Zach and Eric Anderson as we talk about how Christians should approach media from non-Christian sources and also how to deal with faith in general when seen in different contexts.

Sure, why not? Eschatology is always fun...or incendiary...or everyone gets angry at each other! Not so here though. Listen to Zach, Ted, and Josh talk about it!
