Christian Games On ABC's World News Tonight – brandon

Brandon Member Posts: 594 From: Kansas City, Mo, USA Registered: 02-02-2004	I saw the end of a story that ABC did on Christian Video Games. I only saw Catechumen because I saw the latter half. But I heard from my bro. that Orion, and some other Christian Games were shown as well. Did anyone else see this? ------------------ I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

"The current state of Christian games is very similar to what we see in Christian rock," said Ian Bogost of Persuasive Games, noting that there were a lot of attempts to get the movement going and now it is very active and lucrative. Heh, not so sure about the lucrative part. At least, not yet.

Was just talking to Ralph...ABC misquoted him completely because he never said the above. Basically the interview didn't go as well as he had hoped. For heaven's sake, they were comparing his game Catechumen against GTA...a budget game developed with $800,000 compared to a AAA title developed with more than $15,000,000.

I remember this guy because Jake Tapper, the journalist, actually woke me twice last Saturday (3am and 5am)! It was all good - just didn't cater for the Time difference that we have here in Australia! About misquoted - i find that it happens a lot with the media - John Gartner had actually misquoted Laurence (the managing director of WKG), with the comment that the finger of god was used to convert others into Christianity - it's been edited now, but the flames from that comment are still flickering around =( It's nice to see more coverage and exposure - only thing is actually taking each game for the content it has - it's always the same angle.

I know what their next planned release is and the timeframe but I'm not sure if he has done a public announcement (it's not on their news page http://www.n-lightning.com/news.htm ) so he "might" not want me posting that on the net. I'd have to ask him for permission or you can just email him yourself and ask.

Mack Administrator Posts: 2779 From: Registered: 01-20-2001	True, but it does help get word out in places that may have not been able to hear about the game otherwise.

BuddMomm Junior Member Posts: 7 From: IN Registered: 02-02-2006	I'm glad ABC gave this exposure... I sort of think of ABC as "the enemy" but that's okay-- if God can cause a donkey to speak He can use ABC too! ------------------ Is what you're living for worth Christ dying for, dude? c00l 1337z (i have no idea what that means)

Brandon Member Posts: 594 From: Kansas City, Mo, USA Registered: 02-02-2004	Awesome sig. Luke! LOL! ------------------ Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O Lord , you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is your unfailing love!
