Items Tagged With: Computer Games

I have played a lot of computer games and over the years computer games have changed a lot. There are two ways to improve computer games... one is to improve the graphics. Then you can play the same computer game with better graphics. Yawn. If that's your idea of fun then you probably won't be reading this anyway.

Another way to make computer games better is to forget all about the graphics and make totally new ones with totally different ideas.

If you like the sound of that. I reckon you'll like this.

(Which yes, I'm sure, Mark will have played ten years ago on his Amiga)

Doomsayers

Blogged by James Preece 2 Years ago...

Joanna Bogle she say...

watching a long line of communicants on this Monday January morning - all ages, both sexes, a great mix of people - I had a sudden wish to haul in some of the gleeful doomsayers who love telling us that Everything In the Church These Days is Awful and telling them to be quiet, kneel down, and join in...

...and then she say...

Apparently the bike trade generally didn't do so well this Christmas :"Lots of kids prefer to have computer games and that." Golly. How ghastly. It makes one droop.

When I play the new Zelda - Phantom Hourglass. It makes me want to haul in some of the gleeful doomsayers who love telling us that Everything in Videogames These Days is Awful and telling them to be quiet, sit down, and join in...

I expect staring at a box pushing buttons looks about as fulfilling as kneeling in front of a box fiddling with beads.

To the Blessed Virgin Prayer for England

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee.

By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more.

Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the cross.

O sorrowful Mother! intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son.

Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home.

Amen.

Couple's Prayer

O God, our heavenly Father, protect and bless us. Deepen and strengthen our love for each other day by day.

Grant that by thy mercy, neither of us may ever say one unkind word to the other. Forgive and correct our faults, and make us constantly to forgive one another should one of us unconsciously hurt the other.

Make us and keep us sound and well in body, alert in mind, tender in heart, and devout in spirit. O Lord, grant us each to rise to the other's best. Then, we pray thee, add to our common life such virtues as only thou canst give.

And so, O Father, consecrate our life and love completely to thy worship, and to the service of all about us, especially those whom thou hast appointed us to serve, that we may always stand before thee in happiness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
