one of my assignments at school was to make a sack jump. so in honer of the old plat-former games, I gave it a double jump.

loving all people


lately I have been thinking about gay's, and pastors who condone there choices. This thinking was inflated wen I read a blog, presumably by a pastor, criticizing pastors who honestly love people and try to help gay people see that the action of homosexuality is a sin. now, if you are not a Christian then this part will have no meaning for you, see the next paragraph. no Christian can honestly reconcile homosexuality with there Biblical faith. if they do not have a Biblical faith than what in the world are they doing being a pastor? Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13 and 1 Kings 14:24, are just some of the more blatant ones of the old testament. but Romans 1:18-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and 1 Timothy 1:8-10 are in the new testament, so we have no excuse. and let us not forget that in the beginning, God found only one helper for man, it was not himself( thank God, we would all be in trouble) nor another man, it was woman.

now for all those atheists. you should be the most adamant against gay's and lesbians. they can not produce offspring without working harder than most of the rest of us, they have a shorter life expectancy and thus are genetically stagnant. and don't give me that bowl that they are born that way. how would the gene be passed on? ware is the gay gene in the body? the only way that anyone could say that a person was born gay, is a theist, who believes that man( yes, and woman) is inherently evil, and will sin in one way or another.

now don't get me wrong. violence against gay people is just as bad as the rest of us. unless some scientist has determined that they are some kind of sub species and I missed the announcement  they are just people like you and me. I have a friend who is getting married to his male fiancee, and I still love him like a brother. I do not condone his actions, but that does not mean that I must throw stones at him.

some may reed this and say that I am just an intolerant hump, and they should look up the word tolerant. or read this one. Showing willingness to allow the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.( a Google definition search.) so I am actual more tolerant than the person who says that. unfortunately  such a person has probably stopped reading by now.

en-taro Jesua.

Assistance.

Just recently I realised a flaw in my thinking. I have always disliked asking for help, I always feel like I am burdening my friends with my problems. but wen I am asked for help, I love it. to assist another is the best use of my time, in my opinion, especially a friend.
I broke my wrist a about a week ago, and thus must ask for help with the most mundane of things. Note: if you wish to hold on to foolish pride do not brake a bone. This got me thinking about this subject, and I finally came to the conclusion most readers would have come to from reading the first paragraph, to give is better than to receive, but if you refuse to receive, you rob others of the opportunity to give.
some readers may be thinking "why would a person spend time to wright such a simple thing." and my response would be that sometimes people struggle with the simple things, unless I am the only one, and a bit of advice never hearts.

Dragon Crystals

I tinkered with a table top game called Dragon Crystals. a tabletop game is a game that can be played on any flat surface, rather than a board. this game was played with little paper and cardboard figures, on cardboard stands. Each player would place a crystal figure on either side of the field  and some smaller crystal's would be placed in the middle area. Dragons would be placed at there owners crystals and the point of the game would be to destroy your opponents crystal.

the rules worked, and the game was fun, but the pieces were hard to make. I always thought that games that were player customizable were cool, but that made the making of the peaces that much harder to make.
the pictures would be colored and cut ought, the two facing dragons cut ought together in one peace. the dragons would be folded so that they were two sides of one dragon, the tabs would be folded ought and glued to a cardboard stand.

Du Rock Games


When I realized that I rely liked making games, I decided to make my own logo and company name. I wanted my name to be more than just an arbitrary one, so I chose to make it have a meaning based in my faith. I came across the verse in the Bible that says, “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower,” so I resided to name my “company” Du Rock Games.


a begining



I started making board games when I was about 11 years old, my first was a game called battle for life. Unfortunately I have no records of this game anymore, because I only started using the computer to document my game designs around the age of 15. It was a game that was played on a grid, with each player controlling up to five clay caricatures. The point of the game was to maneuver your caricatures to kill all of your opponent’s caricatures. Each player had their own set of personalized units, and since I didn’t use computers, I went through a lot of paper to keep track of stats (levels and the like).

my history



I have been making games since I was a boy. My older sister (by 9 years ) told me story’s about how she would try to play a kids game with me, you know, the kind that no one can lose, and I would find a way to make it competitive so that there was only one winner, and consequently a looser. I have always loved making rules for games, which is strange, because my family has never been fond of games. A joke that is often maid after I have been looked in my room working on a game for a couple of days is that I was switched at birth with an other child.
