Video Games Embrace the Permanence of Death

Last updated on: November 29, 2012 at 11:20 pm By Jason Morehead

“Just remember that death is not the end,” or so goes the Bob Dylan song. This has been the sentiment for video games as well. You can be mowed down by a horde of alien invaders, send your race car flying off the tracks in a mass of flaming metal, or even get your spine ripped out, and with the press of a button, it’s like nothing ever happened. However, if you know that your character can be reborn after... Read more

Frequently Searched Questions: Rob Bell Roleplaying Game

Last updated on: November 29, 2012 at 11:20 pm By Alan Noble

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn’t find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms. This week’s theme is Music Statistics. Q 1. The percent of death by country music. Good question. With the bad economy you’d expect to see a significant... Read more

The Moviegoer: A Portrait of President Lincoln

Last updated on: November 30, 2012 at 9:58 pm By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln might be described as a brilliant portrait, a distinctive picture of a particular historical moment that gives us representative insight into a United States at Civil War. But, more than that, we’re treated to filmic portraits of a President who is able to lead us out of such a blunt and brutal national duplicity. Rather than attempt an epic biopic spanning an entire life or even an... Read more

Kim Jong Un: Sexiest Man Alive (or, We’re Not Here to Judge, China)

Last updated on: November 29, 2012 at 9:19 am By Nick Rynerson

The Onion has finally done it. I am pretty sure that this was the plan of the Onion and all of its content for the last decade. Last week the Onion released a piece, in classic Oniony fashion, naming North Korean supervillian/supreme leader/newlywed Kim Jong Un the sexiest man alive. Most Onion readers didn’t think much more about it than when they reported on the tragic car accident that sadly, did not kill Glenn Beck. But the People’s Daily, China’s... Read more

What Can the Church Offer Victims of Abuse and Violence?

Last updated on: November 29, 2012 at 6:40 am By Erin Straza

It’s no easy task addressing serious issues such as abuse and violence. Even within the Church, where honesty and help should abound, such issues are often tucked away rather than tackled. That’s why I so appreciated the way Trillia Newbell handled this difficult topic. She displayed great grace and wisdom—and courage—in an article posted at The Gospel Coalition titled “Remember the Victims—Like Me.” Newbell boldly calls on the Church to raise its awareness level regarding this issue because victims are...

God and Country Music: The Country Music Culture Wars

Last updated on: November 27, 2012 at 6:33 pm By Nick Rynerson

Country music, since its inception, has been a (if not the) voice of rural, white Americana. With a musical genealogy to be darn proud of, stretching back to Dock Boggs, the great coal mining banjo player, to the legendary Hank Williams, the king of country music, Country has not only been a voice for the working folks but also a voice against the encroaching modern, urban world. And with the mainstream American culture changing at what seems to be a... Read more

One of the “Two and a Half Men” Is Growing Up

Last updated on: November 27, 2012 at 6:23 pm By Brad Williams

You may not know who Angus T. Jones is. At least, you don’t know that you know who he is. Jones is the “half man” on the show Two and a Half Men. He recently said that he thinks the show is filthy and unfit for human consumption. The show, he says, is in conflict with the things he has been studying in the Bible, and he no longer wants to be a part of it. I fear that this... Read more
