Putting the two of them in one movie? The bastards figured out how to give me a brain aneurysm.

A growing number of Evangelical Christians believe there is a revival underway in America that requires Christian youth to assume leadership roles in advocating the causes of their religious movement.

JESUS CAMP, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, directors of the critically acclaimed The Boys of Baraka, follows Levi, Rachael, and Tory to Pastor Becky Fischer’s “Kids on Fire” summer camp in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in “God’s army.” The film follows these children at camp as they hone their “prophetic gifts” and are schooled in how to “take back America for Christ.” The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America’s political future.

Nothing pisses me off more than a good documentary. That’s because they’re so good at presenting people that they can get a reaction out of me. I say “piss” because a lot of the documentaries I see are about selfish people doing bad things (Fahrenheit 9/11, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room).

Now here is Jesus Camp: A documentary about some of the things that tick me off more than anything else.
1. Indoctrinating children.
2. Imposing religious believes on others.
3. Using political power for the previous two.

Why is it so hard to understand that no matter what you believe in, you are a minority to the rest of the World?

I’m all teary-eyed. It’s written and directed by Stallone, so we can trust he has worked his ass off on a project that will decide the future of his career.

A few weeks ago X-Play did three episodes that featured the 10 best video games for each console of this generation: Xbox, Playstation 2, and Gamecube. They also mentioned some of the worst games they’ve played.

All in all they were good episodes, and the lists are hard to refute. Those games mentioned that I did manage to play were pretty amazing and deserve the attention. Especially those that were overlooked by most gamers. Of course, you have to keep in mind that they chose the “best” games, not the most important. That’s why you’re more likely to find sequels in the lists than their cutting edge predecessors.

Now these episodes are finally available in a convenient podcast form (right click/save as):

Xbox
Part 1 (#10-8) | Part 2 (#7-5) | Part 3 (#4-2) | Part 4 (#1)

Playstation 2

I know it’s not as glamorous as hacking Madonna’s web site, but what the hell: Morgan Webb, will you marry me?
