POPULARITY
Es kommt uns so vor, als wäre es erst gestern gewesen, dass wir über Biowares Halb-Debakel Dragon Age 4: The Veilguard gesprochen haben. Dabei ging der SWP 71 zu diesem Thema bereits im Januar diesen Jahres on air (und Alex muss an dieser Stelle zugeben, DA4 dann leider doch nicht mehr durchgespielt zu haben, seufz). Das eine Spiel auf dem Grabbeltisch, das andere der neue, aufgehende Stern? Und während The Veilguard mittlerweile bei PS+ für Umme verramscht wird (und auch sonst schon auf dem virtuellen Grabbeltisch zu finden ist), scheint für den heutigen Titel der Rollenspiel-Himmel erst aufzugehen. Die Rede ist ...
Dragon Age: The Veilguard hat schon vor Release hitzige Diskussionen entfacht. Jetzt ist es da, und auch wir müssen diskutieren. Über das neue Bioware - und das Ende des alten.
In this episode, Caitie and Jordan discuss Christian Dailey, former Dragon Age 4 Executive Producer, leaving BioWare. We also discuss the report from Jeff Grubb saying that DA4 is on schedule and doing well, as well as the recent interview with former BioWare dev Mark Darrah. Also: we talk about The Batman.
This week Oak raves about Psychonauts 2 after having finished the game. Baka is game hopping while still in recovery mode. Grif finished Cyberpunk 2077 (again) but picked a different ending this time. And Chicken is going full Grif in his Prey run! In the news: Of course there's more Activision Blizzard news to discuss. Seems like that's just a weekly thing at this point. Amazon is trying to move forward with a Mass Effect TV show. The Halo Infinite Beta was out for less than a week before hackers started seeping in. And one of the creative leads for Dragon Age left. You know, in the middle of working on DA4. Great. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast. Follow us on Twitter: @InfiniteResPC @MDBOAKTREE @GrifsLynam @EliteChicken313 @BakaPickle
• I needed a familiar passage this week. 8 years is more than sufficient to escape long-term memories. • Obsession with eschatology > Abandon it altogether. Some would prefer to remain disengaged. Focus on essentials. “End Times” doctrine not central to the gospel. • Disagreement doesn't mean unsaved, unwelcome. Differences of opinion abound among solid, reformed Christians. Common Reading Strategies (Unhelpful):1. Detailed blueprints • Characteristic = Chronological Precision. • Method = Each element finds correspondence with historical event/figure. • Goal = Predicting what the end will look like. 2. Detached from history • Characteristic = Completely irrelevant to modern reader. • Method = Poetic license to depict good vs. evil. • Result = Undermine Scripture's relevance. 3. Abandon interpretation altogether (ME). • Characteristic = Relevant but too confusing. • Method = Overwhelmed by the various interpretations of elements. • Goal = Keep Calm & Carry On. • Daniel was far from disengaged. He is emotionally affected by his visions. Not given all the answers, but his heart is burdened. Daniel NOT indifferent. Pray & Read https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Da7 (Dan. 7) • Daniel = exilic. https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Da7 (Daniel 7) transitions from Historical narrative (1–6) to apocalyptic literature (7–12). • Demands new reading strategy. We cannot expect precise chronology. Metaphors and similes teach by analogy (cautious with details). Images communicate imprecisely. Evoke powerful feelings. Scope broadens: • Present darkness > future darkness • Temporary deliverance > Eternal deliverance • How to stand alone (Daniel and Friends) > Why worthwhile to stand alone (All Believers). I. Worldly Chaos (1–8; 15–28)• Why was Daniel anxious and alarmed (vv.15, 28)? No interpretation provided for vv.9-14, so the vision from vv.1-8 is what alarmed him. • The Sea (v.2) • “The Sea” in Biblical and ANE literature symbolizes chaos, evil, and de-creation. Evokes terror. It is a depiction of godlessness and depravity. The waters of the flood de-create the world (https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Ge6 (Gen.6)). Re-creation begins again with Noah's family. • ANE Creation Narrative “Enuma Elish”: Marduk defeats Tiamat (the Sea) to head pantheon. Tiamat remains opposed forever. Daniel's context. • The emerging beasts are not what is stirring up the sea, but the four winds of heaven. Implicit > God is sovereign over chaos. Even though the result is chaos in the sea, there remains one constant truth > God is in control! • The Beasts (vv.3–7; 17–18) • V.3–8 The beasts rage against God's created order. They are perversions of His creation. • Each successive beast grows more grotesque and less human. They become more and more terrifying. • https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Da2 (Dan. 2) parallels https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Da7 (Dan. 7) • Head of Gold = Babylon = Lion w/ Wings (https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Je49.19-22 (Jer. 49:19–22)). No significant disagreement. Animal > Human = Nebuchadnezzar's humiliation and restoration (https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Da4.28-37 (Dan 4:28–37)). • Torso of Silver = Medo-Persian = Bear • Midriff of Bronze = Greece = Leopard w/ Wings and 4 Heads • Legs of Iron/Clay = Rome = Fourth Beast with iron teeth and 10 horns • The Rock = Christ = Son of Man conquers the kingdoms and receives universal and everlasting dominion. • So, is all of this in the past? • Compos. Lion/Bear/Leopard/10 horns (https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Re13.1-2 (Rev. 13:1–2)). No single nation/king has exhausted the meaning. • Taken generally (4 = earth, rivers of Eden, corners of the earth https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Ge2.10-14 (Gen 2:10-14); https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Ge2.10...

We're back after a week hiatus, but there's so much news to talk about. Bioware execs leave and put DA4 into questionable status, Cyberpunk 2077's massive patches (and we mean MAAAASIVE), bricking of PS5s are happening (and one of us is victim so far), and Canadians are about to get hosed on games, eh?

To cap off our journey through the world of Thedas, we're discussing the parts of the survey that didn't quite make it into the other episodes. Join us as we talk demographics, real life vs. in-game morals, player preferences, and a little extra somethin-somethin about personality types and DAI romances in this, our Dragon Age finale...until DA4 comes out that is. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
