Many, many things irritate me about God of War (As I noted without even playing it!). I was, however, willing to give the game a chance by actually playing and completing it. Whether via time or distance or nostalgia, the original game in the series holds little love from me in the year 2013.
A young boy with long curly blonde hair hunches over a gravestone, remembering his mother’s death; when she drowned to death and he could do nothing to save her. Later, when his big brother starts to swim across a creek, the little brother stands back and motions with his hands as if to say, “No freaking way I’m getting in there.”

Zachery Oliver: Want to review Call of Juarez Gunslinger, or shall I?
Joshua Cauller: Go for it. Did you like it a lot?
Zach: I did, but there are things that bug me about parts of it.
Josh: Like what? The whole “regen” shooter aspect?
Chuck – I like Chuck.
Netflix almost frightens me in its ability to track my viewing preferences and, somehow, recommend viewing material based on a set of simple Yes/No answers or a simple rating. The more info you put into the system, the more likely Netflix will burst upon you with some sort of binge-watching goodness you never expected.
NOTE: This is a bit of early writing. Apparently this garnered an A+ in a senior year high school writing class. Now, I see the obvious deficiencies in it, and my valedictorian speech represents me a lot better. Still, please feel free to argue with my younger self! The image above has nothing to do with this, moreso Charles Stanley’s book (and sermon series) Success God’s Way.
