Yeah, "Doom" was about fighting Satan, too (or John Romero, depending upon how you look at it). So, if that inspired kids to shoot up their schools, imagine what "Catechumen" could do. I can just see all the little Sunday-schoolers taking their assault rifles to mass and shooting the place up.

Actually, that might be kinda cool. Anyone know if there's a game where you can be the Satan-possessed Romans and kill the Catechumens? *grin*

You have to be careful what ya say Sol...who knows where it will take you around here.

Like in the "what are you going to be for Halloween?" I was going to say I was going to dress up as the Bush tax cut and only give myself to rich people...but then all heck would have broken loose.

And that was a joke so back off!

I'm not ignoring you Omega (honest). I'm using my uni computers. Which haven't got ICQ on them. The computer with ICQ isn't connected to the internet. So I can't talk to Daryus at 4 in the morning anymore (which is a shame, as it's when I'm going to bed lately).

Couldn't they do a complete religion conversion for Quake III? Budhist's would have the power to respawn when they die, and the power of the new body would relate to how many frag's they've got. Catholics would produce offspring at an amazing rate (possible better for the Sims, but carrying on...), Jehovah's Witnesses would have a magical barrier of rightousness around them, and so on... You could have "Capture the Holy Grail", and possibly Indiana Jones could be in it (cause he's cool).

And then, for the ultimate tag-team fight, God and Bryce/Omega verses Satan and Santa.

While we're on that topic, isn't Diablo 1 & 2 about killing Satan, too?

Well, not SATAN, as such. Just a REALLY bad demon. Who happens to rule Hell. And who's name means "Satan".

And let's not forget the oh so subtle Christian connections in RPG's. Especially Japanese ones.

Sephiroth was an Angel dontcha know.

Well, actually, the original "Diablo" is more about killing Satan and then becoming him... *L*

Oh, well, thank you for ruining the ending for me, Tim.

J/k, I had no intention of finishing the game, anyway. How did this ever get a perfect score over at cNet?

Probably by being one of the greatest games ever. That's usually the best way.

(Well, not at C/Net, of course. C/Net would give a good grade to SimBowelExtraction.)

Uh... right.

Give me Chrono Trigger any day. This Diablo game is incredibly repeditive. An plot that changes sometime during the game would be nice, too...

Well, you're supposed to kill Diablo. I don't think I'd like it much if I was in the last level of the catacombs and a message popped up saying "so sorry, but it looks like Diablo's already dead. You're new mission is to kill those cows in the field."

For the love of that creepy multi-tentacled angel, stay away from the cows!

There's a cow level, eh?

My god, Ultra's memory span has now been reduced to just one post. How could he possible forget about the cows he was championing barely moments before?

I've gotta get me some of his drugs...
