Hey my friends I'm Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and a few years back I was playing a computer game

with one of my friends a guy named Jeremy dear friend now all the way back to the high school like that kind of dear friend

and it's a game that is one of these strategy, medieval, magic, kind of turn-based games.

And what we did is we went into the map editor. You can design how you want the game to be in there.

You can put treasures and artifacts that make your heroes more powerful and allow you to build bigger

empires to fight against each other. And so we did like a draft it was

really fun he had his computer open and I had mine open I was like okay we can pick

two elite level artifacts and make it so that they're just going to be sitting right there by our

hero when we start and that would we get this little boost in the beginning, we'll get into the heart of the game quicker

and so we negotiated and debated who could get what and then we played this massive

massive multi-day campaign together and you know it was fun his character

turned out to be stronger and he

outperformed me by a lot but we had a nice time when we get along fast forward oh I

don't know six months maybe a year and I'm like you know what that map that he and I

made together was pretty fun.

I'm just going to cue that back up and I'll play as his character, because it seemed like things worked out well,

and we'll get it from his perspective.

And so I load the thing up and I'm walking around at the very beginning of the game, I'm game like hey, what's this little cave right here? I don't remember that

And so I went into the cave and lo and behold

It's a treasure trove he went back in and made a cave of wonders that was filled to the brim with golden stuff like in Aladdin.

Except unlike Aladdin, he was able to harvest it all and use it to get way ahead.

And I called him up.
