I am working on the HP book and poking at a KT revisit now that it's been like ten years since I last tried. These both went well until my laptop exploded into a ball of fire and bats flew out of it to possess some innocent virgins and spread darkness over the earth.

Or, you know, the motherboard burnt out again, and I'm shopping around because screw Hewlett Packard, they make garbage and I'm tired of it. Whichever.

I say go with the first one, but actually believe the second.

Theres been a lot of problems with computers possessing virgins lately.

You sure do have a lot of computer problems. That really sucks man. At least it sounds like things are getting back on track now.

Aye, my new Toshiba thinger is pretty smecksy, and has a nice three year warranty, because history says I am the sort of person who should always always get that sort of thing, because I am good at computer murder.

Revenge for the virgins, as I see it.

warranties and laptops are really good friends.

I'm not picturing a very weird super hero who all his powers only work when saving virgins. he's probably a christian superhero. If you make this into a comic you gotta cut me in on the sweet sweet revenue streams.

Someone's already tried Christian superheroes fairly recently, which may actually still be going on with some degree of success, probably because someone's grandma keeps buying it for some sad grandkids. There was also a Christian sci-fi space hero way back when. Both of them were about as subtle as a cement slab to the face, which seems to be about as subtle as religious anything trying to be relevant to media-oriented children ever ends up.

That Serenity thing actually struck me as okay when I read it, tho, which is an achievement when you randomly devote three pages to kids in a prayer group non-ironically pitying the titular character once or twice a chapter. That alone gets a corniness score of like 9 and I can only go to about 10-12 before something is ass.

Or you go all-out and hit the nineties and become my new favorite thing ever.

Whichever works.

If I did it, it would be retarded awesome and straight out of the nineties.

as for christian alternative stuff. the reason it gets made is the people don't need to make money for it to be profitable to make. churches will give you lots of money to make this crap. Thats how two Left behind videogames were produced.

Both of which were hilariously awful and borderline sacrilegious, if I recall correctly. Something about shooting up anyone who didn't convert or something? Smooth, guys, that'll win some people over. e___e

Sadly, the best Bible games are also probably the worst game games. That Captain Bible sci-fi thing I played a couple times as a kid was lame as balls, but at least it stuck to its guns and wasn't, say, a Wolfenstein SNES hack about Noah feeding animals until they fell comatose, of which 99% of which were goats and sheep, which he apparently kept in mass stock for no real reason. Also, when seed failed, you could just lob melons at things until they stopped moving.

Not that, uh, I've ever played that or anything. -shifty eyes-

Well there is a lot of good material in the bible for a videogame but it wouldn't be the kind of videogame that good christians would want. Certainly not if I designed it. If that happens you better run from people in iron chariots. They will mess you up dude.

In the game or just going outside? Either one sounds pretty awesome.

In the game. Because of that bible verse where its fairly clear that God lost to people with iron chariots.
