Wii U games revealed

Jun 7th 2011 1:22PM (Joystiq)
They didn't show or mention Revelations, they just had a developer on screen talking about Assassin's Creed, and showed an Assassin's Creed logo. I think that's probably going to be an important distinction to make.

Video game asks for child sponsorship

Nov 11th 2006 8:01PM (Joystiq)
Lol, I love that you added video game systems to the list. ;p

But I agree, there aren't that many secular charities out there, especially in the US. But a good example of a very large one is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. ( http://www.gatesfoundation.org/default.htm ) At least, from what I know of Bill and what I've gleaned from their site, it seems pretty secular to me.

The other topic you hit on is Theodicy, and that conversation can get very lengthy, so I'll just say it's a big problem that religious people have (the problem of evil) and tend to explain in terrible, no good very bad ways. Such as: "God works in mysterious ways" (an obvious cop-out answer) or "But humans have free will!" (and who's free will causes hurricanes, and other natural evils?)

Video game asks for child sponsorship

Don't support the indoctrination of starving children, seriously. Even if they are giving them food, they are molesting their minds with whatever religious thoughts they're pushing on them. Come on guys, there are secular charities out there who will just give them food and support, let's get those guys some more money.

"but this time it's actual Christianity and not some made up deity. Well, not a made up deity to a significant portion of the population anyway."

You came very close to losing me at that last line, but you saved it at the end. But still, what does it matter that they pick Christianity to base their story off of instead of say, Norse mythology, like every DnD based game ever? (And for the sake of sanity in the discussion, I'm temporarily ignoring the fact that the people who made this actually, literally think an event like this will happen someday.)

The only Wii post you'll ever need [update 3]

I'm really hoping for a package deal on the remote and nunchuck, because $60 is ridiculous for a controller. (And is basically only is a "controller" with both, the way I see it.) Thankfully it's the only price I'm worried about, though. Everything else seems pretty reasonable.

I refuse to even entertain the idea that Nintendo would use Comic Sans on anything, ever. That's serisously god-awful.

Blinking...lights? Are you serious? Do you want to complain about the color of those lights too? Or how about the shape?

Freakin' whine some more, damn.

Old-style controllers are for losers? [update 2]

Come on guys... they used that 'loser' line for comparison to the Wii remote, learn2read. No one's insulting anyone.
