I ended up deciding to stop playing The Surge because I found the combat too frustrating to be fun. This led to a pivot to playing Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, just to have some fun. That's gonna end up being a longer thing than I expected, though definitely not as long as a full playthrough of the game would be. I just want to get my fortress back!

The Surge Episodes 6-8 and Shadow of War Miniseries Episodes 1-2
Hey everyone. Well, this was quite an interesting week for the Let's Play series, huh?

The Spouse-Idol - Geekdom of God Ep. 46
Our culture has fed us the idea that romantic relationships—particularly the spousal one—are the best type of relationship out there, and that having one is the key to happiness, if not more.
In this week's episode, I'm going to look at and challenge this idea.

The Magic Circle Epilogue and Guild Chat: Creep Scope
The first video this weekend is an epilogue to the The Magic Circle playthrough. Given the ridiculous length of that game's finale, I didn't really have time in the final episode to give my thoughts on the game. Also, I wanted more time to digest and process it. So I decided to share my thoughts here.
This weekend also marks a bit of a change in the weekend video slots. I've decided that, in general, the Guild Chat videos are a bit too much of a content mismatch between the audio and video portions. As such, I'm discontinuing the idea. While I may still make videos on random discussion topics, I want to handle them in a more cohesive way when I do make them.
Moving forward, you can usually expect edited gameplay with live commentary, but unlike the Let's Plays, these videos will be with games I have experience with. Basically, I'm usually going to use these slots to play some games I've played before and I enjoy continuing to play. That said, I do intend to experiment with the weekend slots, too, so there will be some unexpected stuff!
The second video is a Guild Chat on scope creep, which is when a project slowly balloons to ridiculous proportions to the point where completing it becomes too resource intensive to do well.

Let's Play The Surge Episodes 1-5
As I finished The Magic Circle last week, this week we start a new game: The Surge! This game is set in the relatively near future, and features the dubious tech company, CREO, doing something dubious. Like their surgical procedures.
The game itself is a "Souls-like," which is a fancy way of saying it has combat mechanics reminiscent of Dark Souls, et al.

The Trinity - Geekdom of God Ep. 45
The Trinity is an important theological concept in Christianity about the nature of God, but it can often be confusing or ambiguous. In this episode, I delve into this topic to explain what the Trinity is!

Guild Chat: Playgrounds to Gyms and Star Wars Continuities
In the first Guild Chat, I discuss how the ways we exercise change as we grow up.
In the second Guild Chat, I explain why I think the Original and Prequel Star Wars trilogies are in different continuities.

Let's Play The Magic Circle
The Magic Circle is a relatively short (given I finished it in one week!) game, but a very interesting one. I'll definitely have a future video discussing it. The game itself is a sort of metaphor for creativity and creation from multiple angles using the premise of a game called "The Magic Circle." It's very interesting, and a real thinker of a game!
