Do video games actually help with scholastic tests?

Two things Deer Listeners: 1) HOLY WOW WE MADE IT TO 75 EPISODES! 2) The audio is going to be really weird for the first 11 minutes (you've been warned).

Join us this week as Logan discusses sharing the Gospel to 100 students, Adam's dorm flooded, and what we've been playing and reading. For the topic of the episode, we discuss a recent article linking video games to higher test scores and what this means for us as Christians who enjoy video games.

See you, Space Cowboy.

No Man's Sky is finally here! This game is so massive that we had to bring in friend of the show and creator of the Reformed No Man's Sky sister Facebook group, Jonathan, to help us discuss this game! Before diving in, the guys discuss dad jokes and tips, why Adam still has yet to play Pokemon, and discover how you can win a copy of Strider on Xbox One.

Assemble, Deer Listeners!

Fun fact: Deer Avenger is a real video game but that's not what we're talking about this episode! Adam discusses his recent roadtrip and Logan shares his thoughts about his current season of gaming, or lack thereof. For the Topic of the Episode, Blizzard was recently approached by Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, about Symmetra's "Devi" skin in Overwatch and it's possible removal due to disrespect of the Hindu deity. The guys discuss if this is something we should support, our thoughts on a Jesus Christ costume, and our thoughts on deities in games in general.

Everything is better on Vita.

Pokemon GO has completely taken over the world. Is this part of Nintendo’s plans for world domination? We don’t know but it sure is fun! The guys discuss what it’s like to fall in and out of love with Pokemon GO, just like the rest of the world, but is there something more to this mobile game? We discuss the good and the bad about the game, as well as what we have been playing (besides Pokemon GO). Adam gives us his reaction to Playstation VR while Logan talks about getting back into some Xbox 360 gaming!
