17. Jesus the Risen King 1 Corinthians 15:1-8: Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. The four Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John, all tell us that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried in a tomb. What do these four Gospels say about the resurrection and Jesus’ rising from the dead? Let us first look at the sequence of events over the period of time after Jesus death till He ascended. Some of the sequence events have more than one Gospel reporting them, but for brevity, I will only give one reference to Scripture. The tomb is empty Two Marys watch the burial: Matthew27:61, Mark 15:47, Luke23:54-55, Roman soldiers guard the tomb: Matthew 27:62-66, Women prepare spices then rest: Luke 23:56, An angel rolls the stone away: Matthew 28:2-4 Women arrive at dawn with spices: Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-4, Luke 24:1-3, John 20:1 Angels appear to women: Matthew 28:5-7, Mark 16:5-7, Luke 24:4-8, Women dart back to tell disciples: Matthew 28:8, Mark 16:8, Luke 24:9-11, John 20:2 Peter and John investigate the empty tomb: Luke 24:12, John 20:3-9 Peter and John go home: Luke 24:12, John 20:10 Mary Magdalene weeps by the tomb: John 20:11 Mary sees two angels: John 20:12-13 Jesus’ appearances Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene: Mark 16:9, John 20:14-17 Jesus appears to the other women: Matthew 28:9-10, Women report to the disciples: Mark 16:10-11, John 20:18 Guards testify to the priests: Matthew 28:11-15, Jesus meets two people on the Emmaus Road: Mark 16:12-13, Luke 24:13-32, Jesus appears to Simon Peter: 1 Corinthians 15:5, Luke 24:34, 2 report to disciples in Jerusalem: Luke 24:33-35, Jesus appears to the Disciples less Thomas: Luke 24:36-43, John 20:19-24 Disciples report to Thomas: John 20:25 Jesus appears to the Disciples and Thomas: Mark 16:14, John 20:26-29 Jesus appears to seven people: John 21:1-14 Jesus questions Peter 3 times: John 21:15-23 Jesus appears to 500 people: 1 Corinthians 15:6 Jesus appears to James: 1 Corinthians 15:7 Evidences for the resurrection These facts remain for the resurrection: The changed attitude of the disciples after seeing the risen Jesus. They changed from defeated, cowardly people to victorious, brave people. Nobody who could have produced the dead body of Jesus, did so. Their silence is as significant as the preaching of the Apostles. The multiple appearances of Jesus to various numbers of individuals and groups of people at various times of the day and in differing circumstances. The survival and inordinate growth and impact of the early church. If there was no bodily resurrection of Jesus’ would people really have risked persecution and death for a knowing lie? Dealing with Doubters Let’s say Jesus didn’t rise from the dead. Surely the authorities would have produced his dead body in order to quench the new movement! But they didn’t. Secondly, would the disciples have really risked death for telling and maintaining a lie about the risen Jesus? They were beaten, confused and defeated men until they saw Jesus truly did rise from the dead. After seeing Him, they were transformed and victorious people. Thirdly, somebody stole the body. Hardly likely, and if that did occur, for what reason? How would they have got past the Roman Guard and moved the stone a great distance from the tomb? Fourthly, Jesus didn’t die but merely fainted and recovered consciousness in the tomb. Even the sceptics disagree with this theory, one of whom said “It is impossible that a being who had stolen half-dead out of the sepulchre, who crept about weak and ill, wanting medical treatment, who required bandaging, strengthening and indulgence, and who still at last yielded to His sufferings, could have given to the disciples the impression that he was a Conqueror over death and the grave, the Prince of Life”. Fifthly, they all went to the wrong tomb. Whilst one person may have gone to a wrong tomb, not everyone would have done. Lastly, Jesus didn’t die on the cross but somebody was substituted for him. This is certainly untenable, given the rigidity and strict record keeping of Roman rule and with the eyes of the Jewish hierarchy watching. Significance of the Resurrection The resurrection of Jesus Christ provided the central theme for the sermons and teaching in the early church (Acts 1:22; Acts 4:33, Acts 17:18). But what significance is there in Jesus’ resurrection? The resurrection proved and vindicated all Jesus’ teaching and claims as the suffering Servant and attested to his being fully God and the last Judge of all mankind (Isaiah 53:10-12; Acts 2:36; Acts 3:13-15; Romans 1:4). Declared God’s approval of Jesus’ obedient service and the fulfilment of all the Old Testament promises, resulting in forgiveness of sins and salvation being only found in and through Jesus Christ, which was the prime motive for evangelism in the early church (Acts 2:32, Romans 4:24-25) Jesus’ resurrection is a sign of the bodily resurrection for all believers in him, giving a new attitude to death and transforming hopes (1 Corinthians 15:12-58, Romans 8:10, 2 Corinthians 4:14; 1 Peter 1:3 & 21) As the resurrected King, Jesus now intercedes for us and has perfected the redemption of all those who choose to follow him (Romans 5:10; Hebrews 6:20, 1 Peter 1:21). Jesus still meets people today As Jesus is still living, he meets with people at the present time. How does he do this? Jesus walks with us, whereever we go and in particular in the darkest periods of our life. Just as he did with the two people on the road to Emmaus, he walks with those who claim to follow him (Mark 16:12-13, Luke 24:13-32). Jesus speaks whenever the Bible is faithfully preached and read from, just as he opened the eyes of those on the Emmaus road when he explained the Scriptures (Luke 24:27). Jesus meets us in the Communion, with the bread and wine, which symbolise his flesh and blood. For more to think about please do read John 20 & 21. Ask yourself the following questions and see how you respond or react to them. Then why not share your answers with your spouse or a close friend, so that you can pray over any issues together. Q1. How does my faith journey compare to that of Thomas’? Q2. What can I learn from Peter and the responses he gave? Q3. How do I still encounter the risen Lord in my daily walk with him?

Dr. Jeremiah Johnston is an author, pastor of apologetics, and what he refers to as a Christian thinker. He knew that he loved God and loved His word, but he had a burning desire to want to not only understand it better, and to be able to know and see for Himself that the Christian faith could stand up to questioning. Ultimately, what he found is “Jesus and the faith and the scriptures are the answers to the questions you have today, not just the questions of yesterday.”    Now he is the pastor of apologetics at Prestonwood Baptist Church, and his ministry Christian Thinkers Society is designed to speak to seekers and skeptics and those who have big and very real questions about the historical Jesus, the church, and scripture, but also to encourage followers of Christ to own their faith. In his latest book Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus- and Why It Matters Today Dr. Johnston shares some of the fascinating details that prove the resurrection as a historical event, and why focusing on the resurrection and not just the cross deeply matters. In his work and in our conversation today, he unpacks a little bit of the context of the world Jesus revealed Himself to in His resurrected form, and we discuss details that perhaps have been overlooked due to the familiarity of the narrative of the resurrection to many of us in the church. I don't know where you are or where this conversation finds you, but I hope that you can walk away with a little more hope and encouragement in your soul. The bedrock of Christianity stands firm. It is based on facts, and it can take questions and research, archeology, and history. Our resurrected Savior can take our big feelings, our questions, and the cries of our weary souls. The God of the universe that took on flesh, died, and rose again, cares about you, and He gave it all to show you. I hope you can believe that today. You matter, and your story matters.   Connecting with Dr. Johnston Book: Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus- and Why It Matters Today Facebook Instagram   Sponsor for this Episode: Hopefuel Use the code 'SIMPLY15' for 15% off Instagram Website   References: Oxford University Craig Evans Bodleian Library  Papyrology Codicology Paleography Christian Thinkers Society  Prestonwood Baptist Church Pastor of Apologetics  Unanswered by Dr. Johnston  The head of Christ painting Road to Emmaus painting by Robert Zund, 1877  James the brother of Jesus The Messiah would be another David or Samson or would cleanse the priesthood and the Temple Dead Sea Scrolls The New Testament: Its Background, Growth and Content- Bruce Metzger Jospehus Saducee- Progressives bought out by the Romans Pharisee- Tradition of keeping the Torah  Zealots- Extremists who trained to take power from Rome back by force Sanhedrin- The governing body of the Jewish community The diaspora Remember- celebrate with festival example Mishnah Verisamilitude  Bone boxes on the Mount of Olives Unimaginable book by Dr. Johnston Lee Strobel, The Case for Christ Scripture References: Hebrews 4:12- The word of God is alive and active Luke 24, John 20- The resurrection of Jesus  Revelation 2:28-The morning star of our faith 1 Corinthians 15 - the death AND resurrection of Jesus Luke 23, John 18:28-19:42- The judiciary procedure that led to the crucifixion  John 20:1-18-Appears to women/Mary doesn't recognize Jesus  John 20:24-29-Thomas Luke 24:13-35-The two with Jesus on the road to Emmaus  Matthew 5-7- The sermon on the mount Luke 4:14-30- the sermon in Nazareth Exodus 11-19- The Passover  Deuteronomy 6:6-9,Deuteronomy 11:18-20,Isaiah 57:8- Put this on your doorpost Luke 22:17-38- Jesus called them to remember through the last supper Luke 22- Judas betrayed Jesus Matthew 10:4,Mark 3:18,Luke 6:15,Acts 1:13- Simon the Zealot John 19:38-40-Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus bury Jesus  Genesis 50:25- Joseph asked to have his bones carried back to the land of his father  Matthew 27:55-56-The women stayed with Jesus, and are at the cross Matthew 26:56, Mark 14:50- They didn't run like the disciples 1 Corinthians 12:12-31-The body of Christ needs all its parts for it to work Romans 8- the message of the Gospl and of Jesus' love that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus  1 Corinthians 15:58-Be strong, steadfast and immovable, always abound in the work of the Lord  1 Corinthians 16- people are suffering, let's care for people  Matthew 9:36- He had compassion on them because He saw them as sheep without a shepherd Hebrews 12:2- keep your eyes on the author and perfector of our faith 1 Peter 2:4-8- Christ is the cornerstone  Hebrews 13:8-Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever  Hebrews 13:5–6; Deuteronomy 31:6–8- He never leaves us or forsakes us JOIN OUR PATREON COMMUNITY!!!!

Easter Part 4: Jesus is Alive! 1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 “The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.”' 8 Then they remembered his words. 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.(Luke 24:1-12) All four Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John, tell us that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried in a tomb. What do these four Gospels say about the Jesus' resurrection or rising from the dead? Let us first look at the sequence of events over the period of time after Jesus death till He ascended. Now remember, the Gospels are documents which have recorded historical events.

Nobody who could have produced the dead body of Jesus, did so. Their silence is as significant as the preaching of the Apostles. Or take the multiple appearances of Jesus to various numbers of individuals and groups of people at various times of the day and in differing circumstances. This shows that Jesus' resurrection was physical in nature! Some people say Jesus' resurrection was spiritual in nature but not physical. But the amount of people that saw Him physically afterwards dispels that particular myth. What about the current tangible evidence - the survival and inordinate growth and impact of the early church and that the church is still growing 2000 years later. If there was no bodily resurrection of Jesus, would people really have risked persecution and death for knowing a lie? One or two people maybe, but not hundreds. Certainly not thousands!

Thomas Luke and Jameson review what happened this last week. Ups and downs, full details!

Matt Morgan

St. Peter urged the early Christians to always "be prepared to make a defense to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you". (1 Peter 3:15) And so it must be with us too! The hope which St. Peter speaks of is rooted ultimately in the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. As we begin the Easter Season, Dr. Luke Arredondo sits down to walk us through the facts surrounding the Resurrection and shows how we can defend the truth of the most significant event in human history.  SHOW NOTES: Empty tomb accounts: Matthew 28: 1-10; Mark 16: 1-8; Luke 24: 1-12; John 20: 1-10.  Post-mortem appearances of Jesus: Jesus appears to Mary Magdalen (John 20: 16)Jesus appears to the women leaving the tomb (Matthew 28: 9)Jesus appears to the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24: 13-30)Jesus appears to Peter (Luke 24: 34)Jesus appears to the disciples without Thomas (Luke 24: 36 ff, John 20: 19 ff)Jesus appears to the disciples including Thomas (John 20: 24-29)Jesus forgives Peter (John 21)Jesus appears to the 500 (1 Cor. 15: 6)Jesus appears to James (1 Cor. 15: 7)Jesus gives the great commission (Matthew 28: 16, Mark 16: 14)Jesus appears before his ascension (Luke 24: 50-53) The Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Resurrection: https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p122a5p2.htm Other Reading recommendations:Brant Pitre, The Case for JesusMichael Licona, The Case for the Resurrection of JesusWilliam Lane Craig, https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/popular-writings/jesus-of-nazareth/the-resurrection-of-jesus/

Easter 2020 - God is Love  Day 25. – Jesus Is Alive!   1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. 5 The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: “He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.” Now I have told you.’ 8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. ‘Greetings,’ he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshipped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’ Matthew 28:1-10 Let us first look at the sequence of events over the period of time after Jesus death till He ascended.

Investigating Jesus Part 40 Jesus the Risen King   1 Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters,[a] of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. 2 It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. 3 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 5 He was seen by Peter[c] and then by the Twelve. 6 After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers[d] at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him. 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 New Living Translation (NLT) The four Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John, all tell us that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried in an unused tomb. What do these four Gospels say about the resurrection and Jesus’ rising from the dead? Let us first look at the sequence of events over the period after Jesus death till he ascended. Some of the sequence events have more than one Gospel reporting them, but for brevity, I will only give one reference to Scripture.The tomb is empty Two Marys watch the burial: (Matthew 27:61, Mark 15:47, Luke23:54-55) Roman soldiers guard the tomb (Matthew 27:62-66) Women prepare spices then rest: (Luke 23:56) Women arrive at dawn with spices: (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-4, Luke 24:1-3, John 20:1) An angel rolls the stone away: (Matthew 28:2-4) Angels appear to women: (Matthew 28:5-7, Mark 16:5-7, Luke 24:4-8) Women run back to tell the disciples that the tomb is empty: (Matthew 28:8, Mark 16:8, Luke 24:9-11, John 20:2) Peter and John investigate the empty tomb: (Luke 24:12, John 20:3-9) Peter and John go home: (Luke 24:12, John 20:10) Mary Magdalene weeps by the tomb and sees two angels: (John 20:11-13) Jesus’ appearances Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene: (Mark 16:9, John 20:14-17) Jesus appears to the other women: (Matthew 28:9-10) Women report to the disciples that Jesus appeared to them: (Mark 16:10-11, John 20:18) Guards testify to the priests: (Matthew 28:11-15) Jesus appears to Simon Peter: (1 Corinthians 15:5, Luke 24:34) 2 report to disciples in Jerusalem: Luke 24:33-35) Jesus appears to the Disciples less Thomas: (Luke 24:36-43, John 20:19-24) Disciples report to Thomas: (John 20:25) Jesus appears to the Disciples, including Thomas: (Mark 16:14, John 20:26-29) Jesus appears to seven people: (John 21:1-14) Jesus questions Peter 3 times: (John 21:15-23) Jesus appears to 500 people: (1 Corinthians 15:6) Jesus appears to James: (1 Corinthians 15:7) Evidences for the resurrection These facts remain for the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Note the amazingly changed attitude of the disciples after seeing the risen Jesus. They were like new people: changed from a group of defeated, cowardly people to victorious, brave people who rejoiced. Next, if Jesus’ body was still lying dead in the tomb, then surely the Roman or Jewish authorities would have produced his dead body in order to quench the new movement. But they didn’t. Nobody who could have produced the dead body of Jesus, did so. Their silence is as significant as the preaching of the Apostles. With that in mind, look at the multiple appearances of Jesus to various numbers of individuals and groups of people at various times of the day and in differing circumstances. Finally for today, note the survival, growth and impact of the early church and the church down through history. If there was no bodily resurrection of Jesus’ would people have risked persecution and death for a knowing lie? Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead, conquering satan, sin and death and into a new body! WOW! But what about dealing with doubts that naturally occur? We will look at that in the next podcast. Click or Tap here to listen to or save this as an audio mp3 file ~ You can now purchase our Partakers books!

  Easter 2018 Part 7: Jesus' Resurrection From The Dead All four Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John, tell us that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried in a tomb. What do these four Gospels say about the Jesus’ resurrection or rising from the dead? Let us first look at the sequence of events over the period of time after Jesus death till He ascended. Now remember, the Gospels are documents which have recorded historical events. The tomb is empty Two Marys watch the burial: (Matthew27:61, Mark 15:47, Luke23:54-55) Roman soldiers guard the tomb and place an official Roman seal upon it: (Matthew 27:62-66) Women prepare burial spices then rest: (Luke 23:56) An angel rolls the stone away: (Matthew 28:2-4) Women arrive at dawn with spices: (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-4, Luke 24:1-3, John 20:1) Angels appear to women: (Matthew 28:5-7, Mark 16:5-7, Luke 24:4-8) The women dart back to tell disciples: (Matthew 28:8, Mark 16:8, Luke 24:9-11, John 20:2) Peter and John investigate the empty tomb: (Luke 24:12, John 20:3-9) Peter and John go home: (Luke 24:12, John 20:10) Mary Magdalene weeps by the tomb: (John 20:11) Mary sees two angels: (John 20:12-13) Jesus’ appearances Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene: (Mark 16:9, John 20:14-17) Jesus appears to the other women: (Matthew 28:9-10) Women report to the disciples: (Mark 16:10-11, John 20:18) Guards testify to the priests: (Matthew 28:11-15) Jesus meets two people on the Emmaus Road: (Mark 16:12-13, Luke 24:13-32) Jesus appears to Simon Peter: (1 Corinthians 15:5, Luke 24:34) Two men on the Emmaus Road report to disciples in Jerusalem: (Luke 24:33-35) Jesus appears to the Disciples less Thomas: (Luke 24:36-43, John 20:19-24) Disciples report to Thomas: (John 20:25) Jesus appears to the Disciples and Thomas: (Mark 16:14, John 20:26-29) Jesus appears to seven people: (John 21:1-14) Jesus questions Peter 3 times: (John 21:15-23) Jesus appears to 500 people: (1 Corinthians 15:6) Jesus appears to James: (1 Corinthians 15:7) Evidences for the resurrection These facts remain for the resurrection. Look at them and study them. Notice the changed attitude of the disciples after seeing the risen Jesus. They changed from defeated, cowardly people to victorious, brave people. Nobody who could have produced the dead body of Jesus, did so. Their silence is as significant as the preaching of the Apostles. Or take the multiple appearances of Jesus to various numbers of individuals and groups of people at various times of the day and in differing circumstances. These show that Jesus’ resurrection was physical in nature! Some people say Jesus’ resurrection was spiritual in nature but not physical. But the amount of people that saw Him physically afterwards dispels that particular myth. What about the current tangible evidence - the survival and inordinate growth and impact of the early church and that the church is still growing 2000 years later. If there was no bodily resurrection of Jesus, would people really have risked persecution and death for knowing a lie, and knowing it was a lie? One or two people maybe, but not hundreds and thousands! Come back tomorrow to see how we can deal with doubts about the resurrection of Jesus Christ...

Video Games are praised for being an interactive media. Unlike movies, books or television, video games allow people to become part of the story or to test their reflexes. Though this is an interactive hobby by nature, lately, more and more people are enjoying others play games. YouTube is filled with “Let’s Play” videos and sites like Twitch and Ustream specifically cater to those who want to watch others play games. Video games as a passive hobby is the subject of our first featured topic. We discuss why people enjoy to watch others play and why we find the whole thing baffling. For our second topic, we discuss female protagonists in video games and how they are portrayed nowadays versus how they used to be. This topic was inspired by Marvel’s recent announcement that the person who would wield Thor’s hammer Mjolnir would be a woman. Comic book readers don’t seem to mind female lead characters that much yet the same can’t be said about a lot of video gamers who would rather play as a man. We talk about why (male) gamers have a hard time playing as a female lead and why we need more females in leading roles. We also discuss some of this week’s featured posts including Joel Taveras’ editorial about Destiny’s Digital Guardian Edition being the best bang for the buck and our reviews for Sniper Elite III, Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma, One Piece: Unlimited World RED and The Wolf Among Us Episode 5. As usual we do a rundown of the week’s game releases, news and what we’ve been playing. This week I was joined by my fellow staff writers: Thomas Luke, Ryan Meitzler and Jorge Jimemez.

For decades, gamers have dreaded the notorious "summer drought": the time of year that sees the fewest new game releases. Game companies typically like to release their biggest titles during the holiday season which has left the summer almost a barren wasteland as far as games go. However, thanks to Steam and other sales, the summer drought is quickly becoming ancient history. On this episode of the ShockCast, we discuss the latest Steam sale. We talk about how the sale works, why it's a great way to check out games we missed, what games we've bought off it and how it's making our backlogs that much harder to clear out. As usual, we have our regular features like new game releases, game news and games we've been playing. This week I was joined by Thomas Luke, Ryan Meitzler and Jorge Jimemez.

It's hard to believe that E3 has come and gone. Although this year's event seemed like a giant teaser trailer for what we'll get to see next year, it still had a lot of cool announcements and plenty of that fanfare that we've come to know and love. On this episode, Ryan Meitzler and I provide a first hand account of what we saw and what we played while out in Los Angeles for the event. Jorge Jimenez and Thomas Luke give us the spectator's point of view of what they thought of the show. Thanks as always to @shawndaley for our custom intro and outro tracks.

Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that they wouldn't be attending this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. This is the second year in a row that they've done this and it got me thinking about the Expo's importance. Nintendo will now save money and better control their message with videos directed to their fans. Should the other companies follow suit or is E3 something that is still vital for them and the gaming industry as a whole? We also discuss games that are universally praised but we weren't exactly keen on and also discuss the future of Star Wars games and the franchise now that most of the stories of the expanded universe have been made non-canon. As usual we also talk about some of the features that were posted on the site including our reviews for Child of Light and Kirby: Triple Deluxe. We round things out with gaming news and what we've been playing. This week I was joined by my fellow Staff Writers Ryan Meitzler, Thomas Luke and Jorge Jimenez.
