VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 254-262)

Hello! This week (+2 days, because 2018 is ending on a Monday) saw me cover most of the Wintersday event in Guild Wars 1. I had fun recording all of this, and am very glad to have it more spread-out than Halloween ended up being.

This also marks the end of VOD of Consciousness round-ups, because today's episode was the last VOD of Consciousness episode. New years are times of change, and that's definitely happening here. VODoC had a good run, but, well, you all saw the announcement video, right? (If not, you should be able to find it previously posted here!)

Thank you for watching, and please continue to join me with the new content I'm making!

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up won't be today

Hey everyone!

I normally post VOD of Consciousness round-ups on Saturdays, but since the last two episodes of VOD of Consciousness will be releasing over the next two days, I'm going to have the round-up then, rather than today. It just doesn't make sense to me to have an additional round-up for only the two of them, especially since they're all part of the same Wintersday special!

See ya then!

Announcement - Planned Changes for Gaming Content in 2019

Hey all! This video goes over changes I have planned for the gaming content I produce. These changes will take effect in 2019.

What Does "Born Again" Mean? - Geekdom of God Ep. 26

It's Christmas, which is when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. In my brain, this makes it an excellent time to talk about the origins of the phrase "born again." It has something to do with both being about birth, I think...

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 247-253)

This week I focused on doing stuff on my Ranger, Anna Yggdrasill. I collected heroes and skills and began pursuing the Prophecies storyline. Recording these episodes made me really appreciate the structure of Prophecies when it comes to acquiring skills in a way that I'd forgotten over the years. It's definitely something I'm thinking about as a game designer.

Confusion Over Jesus's Mission - Geekdom of God Ep. 25

Have you ever wondered why Jesus's disciples went from being ready to die for Him to running away when Jesus was arrested? In this episode, I look into this and draw some lessons from it for our lives today.

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 240-246)

This week was a lot less structured than many have been, since I didn't have specific goals in mind of what I wanted to accomplish due to the fact that I'd finished most of the story stuff. As such, there's a real hodge-podge of things: random Nightfall missions, skill capturing, a Bonus Mission Pack episode, etc.

Relying On God - Geekdom of God Ep. 24

In this episode, I talk about relying on God. It can be harder to do than it might sound at first blush! I primarily do this by examining the metaphorical concept of Jesus being in the driver seat of our lives.

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 233-239)

This week was a productive one! I finished both Hearts of the North AND Young Heroes of Tyria. This leaves me needing to figure out what I'm going to do next, but I'm sure I can figure something out.

Also, even if you don't watch all of these, I highly recommend the Future Plans episode (the first one). In it, I discuss my plans for VOD of Consciousness starting next year. I'll be making a more formal announcement video for it closer to the time, but this is a good chance to hear it early.

Quotations in 1 Corinthians - Geekdom of God Ep. 23

In this episode of Geekdom of God, I take a long, hard look at a few odd sections of 1 Corinthians that deal with women. An overview of the latter two thirds of the book is involved!

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 226-232)

This week saw me conclude the War in Kryta (which was a lot shorter to play through than Winds of Change, but I think that's because it was more streamlined than the original release). I also began Hearts of the North, which takes place between the War in Kryta and Winds of Change.

What Is Heaven Like? - Part 2 - Geekdom of God Ep. 22

This episode is the concluding second part for my two part series on Heaven. It finishes examining some of the descriptions in Revelation, then examines Scripture from a few other places to glean a few more details.

I mention these Bible verses:

Luke 24:31—https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+24%3A31&version=NIV

Luke 24:36-43—https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+24%3A36-43&version=NIV

2 Peter 1:4—https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+1%3A4&version=NIV

1 Corinthians 15:53—https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15%3A53&version=NIV

I also reference these previous Geekdom of God episodes:

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 219-225)

This week I continued doing War in Kryta content. This involved doing some stuff for Keiran Thackery, then eventually transitioned to doing bounties for Princess Salma. These bounties escalated to include Mursaat leaders!

What Is Heaven Like? - Part 1 - Geekdom of God Ep. 21

This episode is part 1 of what I expect to be a two part series talking about Heaven—or, more accurately, the New Jerusalem that will be the eternal city of God and His servants in the next age. This part focuses on the city itself, while the next episode will focus on the city's inhabitants.

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 211-218)

This week saw me complete the main story for the Winds of Change content in Guild Wars 1. I then did the Zinn quests and began the War in Kryta. A lot of specific questing, huh? Though, I do make time to go and grab an elite skill or two along the way.

The Hope of Christianity - Geekdom of God Ep. 20

This episode is about the hope that Christianity provides; what it is and where it comes from.

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 205-211)

This week was mostly focused on the Halloween content in Guild Wars 1. I'm glad I was able to get to it, since I didn't actually get to record until November 1st! I had fun playing it, and it makes me excited for the Wintersday content that'll come out around Christmas/New Years.

The Church As Family - Geekdom of God Ep. 19

A recent family reunion instilled me with inspiration about what it means for the church to be the family of God. That's what this episode is all about!

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 198-204)

This week I spent my time playing through more of the Winds of Change content for Guild Wars 1. Things are really heating up in the story, and in a way that feels like oddly relevant social commentary for today.

5 Times God Did Or Honored Something We Might Not Expect - Geekdom of God Ep. 18

It seemed high time to me to do another top 5 list! As I read the Bible there are certain events that stand out to me because they are times that God either does or honors something that would seem unexpected given a shallow view of who He is. This is a list of five of those times.

Here are the links to Bible passages that I said were in this here description:
Joshua 2: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+2&version=NIV
Joshua 6: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+6&version=NIV
Genesis 38: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+38&version=NIV
