I couldn't help myself when I saw this scan of a flyer... This church has used the new XBox 360 logo and overall theme as a promotional flyer for their latest recruitment drive.
Here's a quote from the back of the flyer:
we get one shot at life, and then it's "Game Over".
Frankly, all this says to me is that God is a piss poor game designer. No respawn? No extra credits? How is anyone supposed to get better at this thing? I haven't even found a save feature yet!
Oh, wait a minute... I get it...
The LORD is supposed to be the save feature.
Now that I think about it, God did put a lot of work into allowing us to mod the game he created.... Of course every time we start playing genetically with the character models other people get upset and start calling the mod builders a bunch of cheaters. Hey, here's another thing, why is the manual for this game so freaking huge? And why put the game rules just in the manual without developing any in-game mechanics for them? I mean, in the rule book it says we aren't supposed to PK (Player Kill) and yet the game itself doesn't prevent it! If PK'ing is going to put the game into an unwinnable state, it shouldn't even be in the game.
And how about that whole "coveting thy neighbor's wife" bit? If I'm not allowed to do that in the game, at least allow me an option somewhere in the game settings to turn off neighbor's wife avatars, or at least have some sort of block list.
That would be great! "Oh, crap, a new neighbor just moved in and his wife is really hot... Better add her to my invisible list so I won't covet her. GOOD LORD! The neighbor on the other side is hideous, she has a beard! Better add her to my block list before she starts gardening in her bathrobe..."
Listen, I'm not saying I don't like God... He's cool and all, I'm just saying that if you want to copare life to a video game, get ready for some serious ridicule. =)
