Noah Lugeons — God Awful Gaming
In this talk, Noah Lugeons combines two of his passions; video game history and terrible Christian media. In so doing, he explores both the history of Christian video games and the larger role that Christianity has played in the development of secular games. In a who’s who of the worst video games of all time, Noah will guide the audience through a half century of digital cross-gathering, Sunday school attending, Christ-praising, Bible-verse collecting, and baby throwing.
This is a collaborative event with Merseyside Skeptics Society, as well as being the night before QED starts, so expect to see some new faces.
