This week, Jon and Lee have a highly intriguing conversation with Drew Koehler of the Hardcore Christian Gamer site and podcast and discuss morality in gaming. After sharing what games he has been playing, Drew explains how Christians can reconcile playing games that include sex and violence (e.g. Assassin’s Creed, GTA IV, Mass Effect). He answers whether Christians are missing out on the experience that game developers intended and closes by sharing about the one game he chose not to play and the one game he should not have played.Opening Song: Prodigy (featuring Tom Morello) – “No Man Army”
Closing Song: Hillsong United – “An Introduction”
The world of gaming is beginning to evolve. With the increased popularity of online gaming, there have been many predictions the one day online gaming will exceed offline console and pc gaming in terms of quality and popularity. No longer is online gaming confined to blackjack or poker. Most of the world's best games can be played online!

Great tune in the beginning of the show you guys.Before i saw the show i was gonna say you guys should get Candid Anthony on your show.Now that your going to I guess i didn’t have to mention it.
T.v is so much worse than video games for violence.They actually show the character stealing the car and how he does It.In a game all u do is press a couple of buttons and then your in the car, so it shouldn’t drive you to steal a car.If anything t.v is more of a cause than gaming is.
Great show you guys.
One thing i think you could do to make your show more popular along with the things your doing right now is debate on certain games and types of games and things like that.Just a thought though.
Thanks, Kratos. I’ll try to remember your suggestion next episode. I know you’ve mentioned that before. If you only saw the list of things I wanted to talk about last episode, but didn’t because we had such a great dialogue with our guest.
Sorry i mentioned those suggestions.I forgot i mentioned it last episode.
Dude, you don’t have to apologize. It means a great deal that people care enough about the show to make suggestions. The show can only go up from here, right?
Nice to hear from a level-headed Christian (gamer), makes a change from the luddites and foam-mouth brigade which are much more vocal, and thus drown out anyone trying to be more reasoned.
re: you chap’s potty mouths; maybe you need a warning sticker on the front of the BitBag
Along with a statement like “Wii off if you’re easily offended”.
