Day zero of E3 2013 is over, and there’s really no contest: Sony stepped up and delivered on every possible angle. The games look stunning, the tech promises great things, the current-gen support continues to cruise along, and – most vitally – the all-important questions surrounding used games, always-on requirements, and price point have been answered.

Microsoft should be very, very worried. “Greatness awaits” indeed.

Sony delivered a monster opening salvo in February 2013 with its reve

As homosexuality has become more common, Christians have struggled with how they should respond. Some have taken to the streets in protest; others have openly embraced homosexuality, allowing gays and lesbians into the pulpit and leadership positions in the church. And, overwhelmingly, most Christians are simply trying to ignore homosexuality, hoping they can wait out the issue until it goes away because they don't want to deal with conflict or sin.
As someone who is on the front lines and h

Xbox One- Xbox Live

It was generally expected that the Xbox One would not be backwards compatible. Despite many hopes to the contrary, it won’t be possible to just toss in an Xbox 360 disc into the Xbox One’s optical drive and have it work. That’s no real surprise either, both from a technical and a business standpoint.

What is surprising, however, is that the Xbox One won’t play any Xbox 360 or original Xbox games, even if they are downloadable.

“Xbox One hardware is not compatible with Xbox 360 games,” a

David West was more than a little disappointed when the Indiana Pacers failed to make a defensive play at the end to win Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
So in Game 2, he made those plays himself. Twice, in fact.
And he victimized the game's best player to make them happen.
LeBron James had two turnovers in the last minute - both when passes that he called "careless" got broken up by West - and the Miami Heat lost both a game and the home-court edge in the series. Roy Hibbert scored a p

No one wants to go back to the brink, but honestly, what have our nation's leaders learned since the last near-collapse?
Almost a century ago Thomas Marshall, Woodrow Wilson's Vice President, got tired of listening to senators blather on about the nation's needs and uttered the words that made him immortal: "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar." Today, with 24/7 blathering as our national political pastime, let me adapt Marshall's 1917 remark: What this country needs to get its a

Shonda Rhimes's show deals with adultery, temptation, redemption, and the need for a savior--making it a ripe, but potentially perilous, Biblical teaching tool.

 

The first time viewers of ABC's hit drama Scandal see Olivia Pope go to church, she's there to oversee the success of a "fix" she negotiated for the wife of a prominent pastor who died on top of his mistress. Pope spends much of the episode counseling and empathizing with the mistress, while the long-suffering wife--still reeling from
