I can see why you would get mad but I own the game and the only things good about it are the graphics and plot line, so you should feel good about that.

Like I mentioned, I had to pay good money and spend a great deal of time seeking the Father during seminary. During that time, I was certainly exposed to much "Lutherness". However, WTF has no place in a Christian's vocabulary. Saying that you "call it like you see it" is not original and is best heard on O'Reilly or Limbaugh's shows. There were times that even Jesus appeared to be a "wimp" (ie. Golgotha). That is inherent with humility and turning the other cheek. Anyone can make a point being brash. But it takes a true Christ Follower to make their point at the RISK of being viewed as a wimp. IMHO Having said all of that, I respect your right to your opinion.

If I were to lower the content and tone of my blog to the lowest common denominator, simply because on the internet ANYONE could read my blog, then I'd probably want to set MYSELF on fire. :-) And as far as Christians... since ANYONE on the internet reading my blog could be a VERY NEW Christian then I'd have to be tip-toeing around all the time, and I could probably only ever talk about flavored soda or Veggie Tales for fear of causing someone to stumble. :-) Now I exaggerate, but the point is still valid. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, one of my favorite exclamations for things that are truly insane, is what it is... it's more appropriate when phonetic'ed or acronym'ed than blurted out au naturel... similar to "oh my goodness" or "darn it" or "lmao" (the latter of which, funnily enough, I don't use because I think it's crude). I truly believe in using bad words for bad things and good words for good things, otherwise we confuse everything (clever saying, but not mine). I also call things like I see them. Fools are fools, lest we confuse them with non-fools. This practice has slipped into a lost art among Christians who haven't read up on their Luther (amidst many others)... to the point where speaking "in love" has been equated with speaking like wimp IMHO. If we decide to speak a bold truth, and nobody is offended, then what we said was probably worthless (*singing* the Bi-ble tells me sooooo...). :-) @Todd

However, I am overwhelmed with the hateful tone that your rants seem to incorporate, not to mention that you have some references that are a bit inappropriate like setting people on fire, calling people "fools" (bible talks about that) and referencing the acronym "WTF". You say you are a Christ Follower (as am I...3rd gen ordained minister) but your tone might offend some baby christians and you know what the bible says about that, "Better that a millstone be hung around your neck than to....". Anyway, I don't want to sound like I am lecturing. I just hate to see your message be obscured by your tone... If you want to know why I felt the need to speak, it's because my 11 year old asked me about it. I actually gave him a green light for your site because you made such a big deal about being a christian, I thought it was safe to let him read and peruse your site. No big deal. :-) Have a good one and keep the faith! Todd Hi, I have been a visitor to your site for about a year now.

Lucas Arts was making me really happy when i was first reading about this awesome game that they were producing. And then they go and do this.....George Lucas would be turning in his grave. OH WAIT.....he's still alive. How come he doesnt do anything about it? I think power does something to people's common sense. Even though my computer probably couldn't run the game i would like to know that i can work up to that. That is the great thing about computers. They can be changed and upgraded. This is probably the stupidest thing any game developer could do. GRRRRR…..
