Overwatch 2 has a lot of heroes on its roster. With Juno, the Martian support character joining the game in season 12, the hero shooter now has 41 different heroes for players to choose from. Spreading the love equally between all of them as far as skins and other cosmetics go is a tall order, one that would be…
While I’m a huge fan of both Nintendo and PlayStation for different reasons, I’ve always appreciated one thing about each console that Xbox has released… backwards compatibility. Being able to pop a 360 disc into an Xbox One or even an original Xbox copy of Halo into their newest Series X model is a demonstration of support for their fans that isn’t free or cheap for them to provide… but they do it anyways, using the power of their current platform to reach backwards and invite even some “less than worthy” games to rejoin the Xbox party.
The unearned grace the Lord showers us with in our unworthy, unsaved state is amazing… but after we’ve enjoyed His forgiveness we can easily forget what we once were and judge others for the very sins we were once guilty of ourselves, deciding they are unworthy to play on our platform. But He loved us when we were far from lovable, no matter what platform we started on. If His mercy was fully backwards compatible enough to reach down and forgive a wretched sinner like me, then we should extend His mercy and grace to all who don’t deserve it… the same way He once did for us.
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). Ephesians 2:1-5
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11
Halo 3 was all about “finishing the fight” that was left incomplete at the end of Halo 2, and after years of painful waiting gamers dropped into the conclusion of the original Halo trilogy to see how Bungie would finally resolve the conflict with Covenant. While it seemed like a long time between installments for us, for the developer it was a relatively short development cycle for a AAA game… especially one that had to live up to such high expectations and would conclude this story arc for multiple characters. The wait felt long, but the stakes were high… so the “delay” was necessary.
While waiting on the Lord is one of my least favorite activities in life, He has a reason for what appears to be a “delay” in what we are seeking. The doors that He opens for us may represent the closure of a door for someone else, and in His infinite mercy He will wait until the perfect time for both of those to occur by holding the door open to the last possible moment. And in the meantime, He wants us to find the beauty and purpose in the places we are currently occupying as we continue on the path He has designed for us to its’ conclusion.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9
I have over 1000 hours in Overwatch, but only about a dozen hours in Marvel Rivals, the megalithic comic makers’ attempt to cash in on Blizzard’s once-winning formula. In all the matches I’ve played in the game’s beta as the Guardians of the Galaxy leader Star-Lord alongside other heroes and villains in the Marvel…
The Blade of Mercy is a Talisman found exclusively in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. This new addition to the game can be a huge help to anyone running a build that focuses heavily on critical hits, making it a must-grab as soon as possible. Luckily, it’s available at the very beginning of the DLC, so…
Every Overwatch 2 player has opinions about balance changes and reworks for their favorite heroes. Sometimes they’re impractical power fantasies to make their main more powerful, but other times, there are some real thoughtful ideas floating around forums and social media. Blizzard gave a handful of creators a chance…
When Overwatch introduced mad scientist tank Sigma back in 2019, he was immediately a powerful shakeup of the meta. His placeable shield was more flexible than Reinhardt or Orisa’s, and his primary rock-throwing weapon did can do damage and disrupt in equal measure. On top of this, his ultimate ability, Gravitic Flux,…
