Bible literalism is indeed stupid. That doesn't imply that those who literally believe in the bible are stupid. Just the point that they do is stupid. It's an obsolete relict from the middle ages and it makes me wonder why it still exists. But then, on the other hand, people believe in (earth-visiting) aliens and all sort of other things. I could understand why people want to believe in such things, but I can't really get it, when people actually believe in these things.

I have nothing against religion in general, especially if it's used in a good way (like acting in a humane way). You can read some >stories< in the bible and see what you can learn of it but as soon as you take things literally better throw it away.

And personally I don't really understand why humanity or a good and healthy way of life even needs faith or religion...

I think your ideas about "volontary" charity are both alarming yet symptomatic for our time.
Instead of working systematically towards decreasing the difference between rich and poor, people prefer to ease their conscience by sporadically donating money via spectacular charity events. It fuels the already flawed system and allows people to feel good about themselves.

Seconded!

Yes, this is all I wanted to say.

If he goes for the "Jesus the cheater" via, he will probably get lots of fans, and an  innovative, polemic point of view. If he goes to a literalistic vision of the Bible, he will probably find that people laughs of him.

I guess he isn't looking for any of that, since this is what he said:

I am not talking about [...] making bible stories into games... I would like to make a game that deals with christian topics in an adult way that maybe teens or adults would enjoy playing.

But since I'm not interested, this is some sort of a SPAM post as well. But my only one I promise.

But Nacho, your idea is funny. "Religious parody" should be a MAGS topic one day.

I'm sorry to hear that Nikolas, but I think Snarky is right. Regarding the license it's for non-commercial share only and all they do is making money with it.

You can also click on the German flag in the tree to get to a list of Mirrors....

Where do you see a german flag there? All I see is an english, a french and a so called "russish" one...


EDIT: Ah, nevermind. The linked site is already german so there's no need for that flag...

EDIT 2: But nevertheless it's called "russian" instead of "russish"..

Haha, I love the Yesmen. Did you hear of their newest prank, the fake New York Times issue?

The guy who judged was a robot who can't understand human's nature at all.

By the way, is there something weird going on I didn't know of yet? It seems the robots are taking over all the news shows and broadcastings. Is it their plan to brainwash the viewers in order to secretly plan to overthrow the government and enslave mankind?

Haha, this Manny-Meche couple is great. Looks very original. Still waiting for a second Fandango game btw..  :'(

Though I'm still with Andail, Pesty & Ishmael.

Cosplay, the wonderful mixture of geekiness and perversion

Yep. Another strange japanese tradition to combine the world of games with the real life..

..and i've heard the word for the first time. I guess it's coming from playing with costumes..?

abstauber, this theme is so funny that I consider participating again though I don't have much time.

Those are some damn large fleas (in relation to the watch)...

I never figured out what the left one with the blue background was meant to be.

That was the first competition I ever entered:

Design a new gadget

My Class Master (TM) brought me silver.

That was a fun competition, but I will think twice before making an animation like this one again.

Well, there's no space left for the nice throphy, I guess I have to say goodbye to an old one.  :'(


He, my prediction about abstauber turned out to be true:

I'm sure he will soon win another animation competition

Happy B-day.

Well, I can't really remember my 18th either. I didn't have a party or something and I didn't do anything afterwards that I haven't done before (I'm not a fan of casinos).

Reagarding the ID-Thingy:

A few month ago I was asked for my ID when buying some BEER. I did that with 14, it's legal with 16 and I'm 24. Well, that woman was quite surprised when looking at my ID, but, well, I guess she was just being careful..

I hope everyone (except Trent R and abstauber) didn't expect too much. It was a rather silly idea and since I made it in a hurry it's everything else than polished.

Well, if I would have had more time and wasn't busy making my animation entry I would have posted something too.

Nice entry, abstauber. Very polished, especially the reflection on the mirror is nice. I guess my entry won't stand a chance.

Ghost, could you expand the dealine for a day? I've got far with my animation but I'm afraid I can't finish it today, I somehow overstrained myself a bit.

Obama as the Page 3 girl?  Have long said (and have been teased about a lot) that he's the sexiest man alive. Met him at a parade about five years ago and nearly melted.  Weird ears, but oh, man, the intensity is incredible.

Well, Schwarzenegger doesn't think so.

Man, he is talking the most incredible bullshit I could possibly imagine. After seeing this it's hard to believe that McCain was serious when he congratulated Obama for winning the election...

Hahaha, Schwarzenegger "fled from Europe", cause there "you can't fulfill your dreams". What a moron. I'm glad that he isn't european anymore though it's a pity that you have to deal with him now, especially the californians..


EDIT:

Nacho, as far as I know:

Unfortunately the first one: yes.
Fortunately the second one: No.

This could be a fun game if acceleration and deceleration were included and the maps would look cooler. Also, there should definitely be a diagonal view of the car.

It's funny. Never thought of an AGS-Racing game myself but AGS is indeed an adequat editor for that.


PS: I PMed you about the city maps..

But he's been asked rediculous questions.

Oh damn, I totally forgot about that one..

Yeah, I'm still aboard. I have some time tomorrow and will hopefully finish it then..
