True. That said, I wouldn't worry too much about being on Kotaku. I'm inclined to say that most of the people spouting off do so out of their pre-established ideas and feelings, and simply see this article as a chance to rant in the comments box; this would be the case no matter what an article itself had to say.It wasn't CGA though, it was CGGR.
No point raging over it. Haters gonna hate, trolls gonna troll. In any given day, there's more than enough work to do in the Christian gaming community without responding to the usual brand of trolling.I really dislike the amount of terrible coverage we've (as a Christian community) gotten thanks to alot of peoples bad run-ins with sect Christianity in th past, but I also like the two or three other people at least trying to share the gospel whilst trying to explain our position and the fact this Tim Chick guy is an incredibly loud mouth bigot and a terrible writer.
GOOD DAY SIR!
That makes me.... rage.
"Oh I was on the internet herp-derpin' around and decided to troll some Christian websites to see if they were as super-spiritual as I thought they were. Instead I see that they leave out really any review of a game and just do a checklist to see if Christians can handle the content of the game. What a bunch of morons."
Tim Chick can go.... buy himself a smoothy.
I really hate overly generalized bull of this magnitude. I really dislike the amount of terrible coverage we've (as a Christian community) gotten thanks to alot of peoples bad run-ins with sect Christianity in th past, but I also like the two or three other people at least trying to share the gospel whilst trying to explain our position and the fact this Tim Chick guy is an incredibly loud mouth bigot and a terrible writer.

... What I'd personally love to see would be Top Gear type thing for gamers/geek culture -but that's beside the point.
I think that's what The Escapist is good for... though he isn't very clean, haha (but neither is Top Gear).
Really? I definitely didn't get that from the article, and as such I don't think so.The curiosity on his part was just wondering if we were super spiritual Steve's, so that a) his preconceptions could be proven b) trolling purposes c) cuz he was herp derping around.
What's wrong with that? I actually think that is almost a compliment, because it doesn't put CCGR down below anything. It actually counts the site as equal to IGN or Gamespot. Hardly a 'not very... nice' thing. Or, since you (or he apparently) think IGN is terrible, he finds it no different than everything else out there. It's all a matter of wording and perspective... and you're being downright negative.The majority of the language he uses is not very... nice. "Instead, I got a review that's no different from what I could read on a boring secular site like Gamespot or IGN."
And reference to Christian scoring:
"No such luck. Instead, the Christian perspective is reduced to an absurd morality score, explained here, in which points are docked based on the presence of occult themes, profanity, violence, homosexuality, or disrespect for family values. In other words, the only potentially interesting observations are reduced to a numerical score that equates Christianity with facile morality."
So let's just point out the things he said that just doesn't add up (at least from my perspective)
1) I was curious if these Christian review guys had some kinda super spiritual analogy for Portal 2
2) Dang they didn't and their review is worse than IGN
3) Their morals are super strict and typical of religion glad I'm not like them 'bahahaha'
Read any of the comments and that's the general consensus of the meaning of his article.
Odale I love you as a brother but I think this is incredibly naive as to read things on the internet and not expect the worse.
internet + total anonymity = super duper total depravity
I cite 4chan.com for reference of the above equation.
Here's the thing what he wanted was a super spiritual interpretation of game and didnt find it.
Just as long as everyone keeps it civil and uses spoiler tags when appropriate.Maybe our best move is to 1) play Portal 2, and 2) invite the OP over here for some discussions of a) what he saw/thought he saw in Portal 2 and b) what we think of it.
