Tom: Thanks, Gary. My guest—second week with Carl Kerby, Jr. Carl’s expertise, really—and I’m telling you, it is expertise—has to do with video games, and he’s the co-author of a book titled It’s Not Just a Game: How Parents and Gamers Can Apply God’s Word to Video Games. It’s by Carl Kerby, and with Drew Thorwall. And he also has a DVD: Game Over: It’s Not Just a Game, which I’ve been through both of these, and, folks, I can’t recommend them highly enough, especially [to] those with children who are playing video games, those who are grandparents, and they want to have some input in the lives of their children and grandchildren. I think this is an absolute necessity.

As we talked about last week in terms of the entertainment media—movies, television, video games—these have a tremendous amount of influence on our young people, and they can be addressed, and they can be addressed in an excellent way. People can be edified and informed as to what the issues are, what the problems are, especially if this whole territory is foreign to us.
Now, Carl, we mentioned last week about a number of video games. We went through the rating system, which is similar to the movies, but that doesn’t always tell the tale, as you mentioned last week. It doesn’t talk about the spiritual side. They don’t get rated for their lies about the Bible or for advancing their own theology and so on, which can be a problem, and is a problem.

Now, one of the things I want to start off with is video games—you talk about them before 1995, the early video games, and in that, I want you to bring in how things have changed, but also in some ways how video games have been Christianized, or how they’ve been anti-Christianized. So let’s go with that.
