Title: An interesting game... A short little distraction.
Post by: Rev Doctor Abidingly on May 18, 2015, 11:09:13 AM
     I found this game on a site called "Gamejolt" and it is in the browser (a flash game I believe) so you don't have to download it or anything to play it.   It is an interesting little distraction:

     I will post the description from the site, "You are challenged to assume the role of a prophet—someone who has just heard from some divinity and strives to spread the good word. You meet Ambar, a basic Sumerian shepherd. Here's a golden opportunity to hone your evangelistic skills. The guy wants to know everything about your God/Gods/Goddess/Being of Pure Energy and whatnot. The best part is, you can talk to him in plain English. He's a bit thick but he tries hard. Will you make him a believer?"

I know one idea in Dudeism is that being overly preachy is decidedly un-Dude, but this game is fucking interesting man.  And its not like you are actually talking to another human person anyways.  Not a whole lot to it but it makes a nice little distraction and short time waster.  It also makes me realize how uptight my thinking has been in the past regarding religion.  A few years ago I may have even found this offensive or something.  I am not posting this little game to be inflammatory or piss anyone off, the game is clearly mean to be lighthearted and satire, I think.  I just thought I'd talk to the little shepherd Ambar about The Dude, and Dudeism in general.  Fucking Interesting.  Although one could talk to him about any religion or deity.  But it is pretty simplistic.

There are a lot of other different games on that site.  A lot of them are browser based Unity and Flash games.  Just thought I'd post this haven't posted anything here for a while and thought maybe even one other Dude would try this and maybe find it entertaining or a fun distraction.  I hear that there are some other Dudes out there that also enjoy games!  This kind of reminds me of the old "Chatbots" people used to make and have online.  This one has a more focused theme though.  Hopefully even one other dude find this interesting!  I'd love to hear any additional thoughts any Dudes have on it.

                                                                                     Take 'er easy Dudes!

Unusual.  I played for about 5-10 minutes, answering most of the questions with lines from The Big Lebowski, and I think it got confused because it finally just started repeating, "You do know the game is over, right?"  8)

Apparently, "Dude isn't a classy god."
