[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] I just thought about something. Back in the Protestant church, I think I heard a few accounts of how some people thought they sinned really awfully and didn't want to convert to Christianity because they thought they'd be punished. I was thinking how ironic that the first half of the Bible turns away those whom the second half embraces. And then it hit me-- Has anyone played the game Black & White? It came out a few months ago for the PC. It's basically a god game where you train a Creature (sort of a henchman) to help you do your job, which is to keep your followers happy and try to convert villages away from other gods. Now, you can either be a benevolent god or an evil god; you'll get belief points for either one. One of the strategies is raining hellfire and lightning bolts on the villages, setting houses on fire, then sending in your Creature to dowse the fires, cast healing and food miracles when they most need it. Punishing god, benevolent sidekick--sound familiar? :cool: I'm tempted to start a new game and call myself God and my Creature Jesus, but I really don't want to go through the quest with the singing ark-builders again. Anyone who wants to play this game, be forewarned. If you can train your Creature well, that's great. Otherwise be prepared for a lot of frustrating micro-management and multitasking. The game has great reviews, but those are sometimes misleading. [/QB][/QUOTE]
