It's 4am. Am I one of the 300?

The original (that I'm aware of) was Populous - you played as a deity and could help your own people, harm the opposing deity's people, or... whatever the fuck you wanted.

I've played a few, can't remember the names of most. Dust on the xbox was a laugh. Like a puzzle/strategy/god game. Lots of fun stuff to see your minions killed by. Saving them was actually an interesting thing to be doing.

Why does god need money? He could just give all of his followers everything they need.

Have you ever played one of those god simulator type games? Making your followers happy is no fun, its much more fun to make them miserable.

1) I haven't played nintendo since I was like 6 and it was Duck Hunt.

2) even to make his people miserable. A god doesn't need money.

If I'm one of the 300 people, that's great!

Even if you're not in his 300, you're still #1 in my book.

"But, he loves you. He loves you and he needs money. He always needs money. He's all powerful, all perfect, all knowing and all wise. Somehow, just can't handle money."

I wonder if they're trained to talk in that smooth seductive masculine voice, or if god gives them that talent when they're anointed...

Yes they are. The best of the jeebus salesmen hire professional coaches specifically for that.

I'm not even sure what to say, your missing out on something amazing. I could write pages on the beauty of gaming.. </3

2) even to make his people miserable. A god doesn't need money.

Ah, but you need churches so you can get more followers to make miserable. The money helps with that.

Interesting. If I ever get a boyfriend I will look into hiring a trainer to teach him to talk like that

Yea but that's why people tithe. Why the extra $58 a month to make some anointed smooth talker happy rich?

Then, you could get a giant blonde wig and monstrous fake eye lashes, learn to weep on cue while your ever-so-well-spoken BF works the crowd!

I dub thee.....Tammy.

Advertisement, people will be like "holy shit that really christian guy has a Bugatti Veyron attached to his solid gold private jet. Maybe that religion shit works."

Dropping a volcano on your opponent = great fun. Or a flood. Or hell, do it to your own people - you're a god, after all.

"Populous" was fucking AWESOME! "Black and White II" was also quite fun.

There is a religious show on. And you know those religious guys with that voice. Smooth soft but manly, why do they all have that voice?

Natural selection. The hairdo was probably fake, though.

Nooo I just want him to have the voice not the job. He can coax me into doing...other things...
