Jesus replied to the Devil in Matthew 4:4 "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” so make sure you get your Bible study on before you hop in game!
Ephesians chapter 5: 1-2 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

DR Disrespect
Dr Disrespect has finally surfaced and he is now going to be streaming on youtube. His first premier stream on youtube he streamed pre recorded stream for 2 hours and he had over 335 thousand watched a streamed picture of his car in a gas station and never actually showed up to stream. The largest report viewer count I have scene reported was 500 thousand. News clips played over a static picture for 2 hours with brought in almost double the viewers than Ninjas first youtube live stream.
Doc’s first stream back ended up racking up 7.2 million viewers, though that does include the lengthy amount of time where it was just essentially a loading screen.
Dr Disrespect Gives Statement On Twitch Ban During His YouTube Return Stream https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2020/08/08/dr-disrespect-gives-statement-on-twitch-ban-during-his-youtube-return-stream/#238413159f24
It is still very strange that no one was ever told why Dr. Disrespect was banned, not even him. He is still holding on to that narrative.
No public allegations have been made about him or against him.
No charges or arrests have taken place regarding him
Dr. Disrespect as of this date had been given no reason for twitch to ban him and had been given no deal to stream on youtube. He is simply streaming there now to stream there.
Many speculate that he is streaming without a contract because the Twitch situation has not been resolved.

MY OPINION:
Looks absolutely adorable and hilarious but just as susp[ected there will always be someone who wants to wreck it for everyone! I have seen videos where players are making it through some crazy obstacle courses only to have some der da der waiting to knock off the potential winners one by one…. Not cool man! Not cool! Hopeful they find a way to deter that behavior, like make a limited time you have to make it from the last obstacle to the finish line or your character just vanishes?

MY OPINION:
This game looks really fun. I love sandbox survival games and I grew up on the “Honey I shrunk the kids movies” so this game looked amazing to check out! I was bummed out to find it is only single player or co-op. I also love these games more as mmos , I would have totally signed up to play this asap if it was an mmo .

5 “GoldenEye 25, a fan-made effort to resurrect the classic N64 shooter from Rare, is to shut down following a cease and desist request from MGM/Danjaq, the rights holder for the James Bond media franchise.”
6. I thought this was strange timing!
Right alongside the news Halo announced today, regarding Infinite being delayed to 2021 as well as not being one of the launch games for the Xbox Servies X….Microsoft announced that it has narrowed its launch window down from holiday 2020 to November 2020 for a global launch of the Series X.

It is called the “Creeping Winter” and here’s what to expect:
“The Creeping Winter DLC brings a wintry storm that threatens to consume all it touches. The only chance of halting the biting frost is for a hero to take on new missions and relentless new enemies! Since no good deed goes unrewarded, let’s say it’s finders keepers on all the new armor, weapons, and artifacts you’ll run into along the way. Just watch out for chilling new mobs and slippery ice on your way to save the day!”
Closing Thought
As we go into our gaming realms this week, let us be intentional and mindful with our actions.
Let's ask ourselves some important questions.
Are we putting the Kingdom of God before the norms of our culture?
If someone looked at us, could they tell if we are a Christian by the games we play, the music we listen to? The words we say?
Did you know that our attention is currency?
Who and what are you paying all of your attention to and why?
John 3:16
New International Version
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
