Heh:

Don't mock Left Behind: Eternal Forces because it's a Christian game. Mock it because it's a very bad game. The real-time strategy/adventure game from Left Behind Games based on the best-selling series of novels from Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins will even let down born-again types who expect the Rapture to beam them up to heaven any day now. Nobody has enough faith to endure a game with such a hokey story, terrible mission design, serious problems with the interface and graphics, and loads of crippling bugs.

thanks, askye!

Jessica -it sounds like the game matches the quality of the books.

I love the idea that converted people immediately have sweater vests.

This is... a good sign? Presumably, none of them live in hot climates, but they might all be living in Preppytown.

Volvo owning seems to be correlated with Morris dancing, at least in England....

I guess I was thinking that was more eccentric than wacky, but I could be wrong.

Survivalist hippies.

Volvo = Buddhist, in this town.

Why do people in my family think it's funny to use " X mess" instead of Christmas or XMas?

It's really not, you know.

Survivalist hippies.

I stand corrected.

Heh. We just had an all-staff page thing over the phones, saying that the phone system would be going down for five minutes, at 4 o'clock. The announcement was much longer than that. Then she came back and said disregard the previous message. Um, OK.
