Title: FPS for the rapture set...
Post by: Surlyboi on March 03, 2006, 02:37:40 PM
And God looked upon the gibs and said, "cry more n00b"

Left Behind: The Game! (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11567350/site/newsweek/) Show those non-believers who's boss!

Quote
The game revolves around New Yorkers who are "left behind" after the rapture. Players scour the streets for converts, training them into a work force to feed, shelter and join a paramilitary resistance against the growing forces of the Antichrist.

That sounds like it could actually be a good game.  I'll believe it when I see it, though.

Sounds like 'The End' the RPG as a video game.

Saw that on the shelf the other day when I was looking for GalCiv 2. I read through the first book and honestly, it was a pretty good idea for a story.  Never picked up the second because characters would constantly go off on 'THIS IS HOW YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST' speeches.

That game description does kind fun.  Wonder what kind of budget it had.

Why would somebody "left behind" AKA an "Unbeliever" fight the Anti-Christ?  If you are an Unbeliever, you don't believe in the Anti-Christ.  Anyway, sounds like it could be good, but I bet their agenda with get in the way. Like Christian music, it doesn't have to be crap, but just is because making good music isn't really the goal.

You'll believe in the Anti-Christ when he saunters up to you and punts your ballsack into the Hudson River.  Then you'll be wishing you took that board with a nail in it when it was offered.

Fuck that. I ain't doin' shit. And if the antichrist has beef, he can take it up with my pal, Dogmeat.

Sic 'em, boy.

As I understand it, only 41,000 people will be taken in "The Rapture" the rest of us are dirty, unwashed sinners who need to go through a living purgatory until the true return of Christ 10 years later where Armageddon happens.  I'm not real clear on it all since I stopped going to church at age 13, and they don't exactly cover "the end times" prior to you hitting 16 or so.  Fragile young minds and all.. I couldn't handle that and Robocop.   

This info is a simple google search away from verification, but I'm already ignoring healing people to type this. I don't think taking the time to find a good link would be wise.

There are different interpretations of Revelations, which isn't very difficult, given how utterly batshitzania it is.  One is that only virgin male saints (two out of three doesn't count, so gamers are still out) are getting beamed up to heaven.  Another is that there is a very finite number of spots, and it's only the cream of the crop who make it in.  In both cases, everyone else is left to deal with the little locusts with crowns of fire and swords and all that.

Wonder how much grinding it will take to unlock the Messiah class. If it's even in the game.

In any event, it should be the biggest seller Walmart ever has. I just wish it had been called 'Stephen King's The Stand'. I'd be pre-ordering it right now.

There's more Deer Hunters than "True" Christians in Wal-Mart.

Dude, there's not a whole lot of 'true christians' on earth (people who actually follow the teachings of christ in their daily lives instead of just giving lip service). I'm far more christish than most christians I've met (I'm agnostic, all earth's religions have it wrong imo)

I used to live in a section of SE Pennsylvania that is populated mostly by transplanted Southern Baptist mental patients. So it's gonna be #1 with a bullet there and quite a few other places south of the Mason-Dixon (Dennis Miiller called it the Culture Warp). I guess my generalization of Wal-Mart customers was a bit off the mark, but from where I came from that was Mecca to those people.

And I agree with Sky to an extent. I don't necessarily think that all the religions have it wrong, just that they won't admit that everyone has a piece of the puzzle and they refuse to get togethor and complete said puzzle.

What's to complete? Don't fuck someone who doesn't want it.  Don't kill people. Don't steal stuff. Be good to people. Share a smile. Help those in need. Listen to someone's opinion and try to understand. This is pretty universal shit that has nothing to do with 72 virgins in heaven, martyrs, popes, messiahs, and of that claptrap bullshit that's very anti-christian. The very idea of the catholic church makes me fucking laugh. Did they even listen to Jesus?

I pray to Joe Pesci their fucking rapture shows up, already. Then Israel and Egypt can live in peace without these dicks.

(2pts if you get the lyric reference)

I fully agree with Sky on this. Having been forced to go to Catholic schools I came to realize it was all just common sense. As for your lyrical reference, do you mean Joe Pesci? Cause I got that one.
