I just had a random, terrible thought.
What if this game ends with someone just waking up, making this one big ass dream?
This is piecewise's biggest game ever, and that's really saying something given the number of awesome games he's started and/or run. He wouldn't screw with our trust and expectations just for a cheap, horribly-cliche, cliche'd-ly horrible laugh.
On a unrelated note, I saw the movie "Noah" today. I'd recommend it. It's interesting because they adapt biblical mythology almost as though it weren't religious. As though they were just adapting some fiction without any particular meaning. So you get to see some of the neat and fucked up shit from the bible. Like Methuselah killing an army of Caininites with a flaming sword.
Wait, Methuselah?
They did do that horrible thing in movies where the good guys are vegetarians and the bad ones are meat eaters, but they sort of subvert that by showing noah as being a bit TOO obsessed with animals and how humans are evil.
Weird movie, but not a bad one.
Interesting. This is the only review that hasn't criticized it. And it sounds like it did the adaptation in the only way that would have made it worth watching, which is better than I expected.
I still think they should have gone for a lesser-known story. Maybe Elisha. Unless it was Elijah that did the bear thing.
((Who wants to bet that order 223 is "kill everything"?))
5 DD says it's not.
Yeah, I think it gets bad reviews mostly because...well...it's a movie called "Noah" and it's not a literal interpretation of the bible. Everyone already knows the story of noah, so only devout and often fanatical christians go to see it. And when it doesn't live up to their particular, very specific idea of what it should depict, they throw a hissy fit, for lack of a better term. Not to mention Noah, at one point, actually recounts the story of creation, 7 days and all, but it's set to visuals that show the big bang, evolution, the scientific theory for planets and stars condensing from gas and dust in space, hell, even the fact that the moon was created by a massive impact in earth's early history. God is only ever called the Creator, he speaks only through vague signs and fever dreams, and in one scene noah is depicted sitting around staring into the middle distance while the horrified screams of drowning people are heard, muffed, in the background. METHUSELAH IS PLAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR WHO DID HANNIBAL LECHTER AND IS DEPICTED AS A BEING ABOVE HUMAN WITH STRANGE AND ALMOST FRIGHTENING POWERS!
Really, they need to do this shit more often. Abrahamic religions have some really neat shit in them, especially in the apocrypha and various cut texts. I want a movie that portrays angels as the bizarre, ineffable, engines of divine might that they are. Ever seen a motherfucking
Throne angel?
