So I got this new game and besides being the greatest PS2 game ever and an abundance of murding and foul language, there seems to be some skeptic classics hidden in here.
I hear rumors that in a forest in the mountains there is a bigfoot knocking trees over, and when you try to take his picture (yes with telephoto lens) it goes out of focus. I hear theres also a Nessie which also cant be pictured. There are UFOs at Site 69, no fly zone but not sure if they are photoable...
Anyway, for those over 17 I suggest this game as strongly as possible, It blows Vice City out of the water, which is saying alot. For example, you can have multiple girlfrinds if you can find the time to keep them happy and keep your sex appeal up with clothes, hair and muscles. I tried to give my girl flowers but hit the attack button and smacked her with them, she screamed abuse and ran right into trafffic getting killed by a speeding cop car. Classic!

Haha, I definately need to buy PS2. That sounds like a classic (just like Fallout 2 - though Fallout's less intense)
But hey... we can't have multiple boyfriends? Shucks  |

Someone should design a game where you can fight the creationists by becoming part of the evil scientist conspiracy. You could start out as lab-assistent and work your way up to be a professor in evolutionary theory by completing missions such as stealing the souls of poor creationists with science books and hiding and/or destroying evidence like devonian bunnies or cambrian crocodiles (thanks for those Dave) . Weapons would include bunsen-burners, injections, dinosaur bones and reaction tubes 
Some of the missions might include deconverting Kent Hovind by sneeking up on him and force him to read a science book or forcing your way into the ICR's (?) creation museum and stealing their 'evidence'  |

Mmm, on the sidelines, I've a game called Evolution, where we start with the first amphibians and evolve them all the way up to intelligent beings  Depending on the animal you begun with, you may end with:
a) A human
b) A rational parrot
c) A rational dinosaur
d) A rational elephant
e) A rational wombat (yes, a wombat. Go figure.)
You go passing through the eras, seeing the map change, cataclysms occur and other stuff. It's hard because when the lands change you've to move an entire line away from area A to area B or they go extinct  Quite slow, too, since most of it is just sit and wait for things to happen, while steering the animals in the screen and making them fight other player's animals. It's also nice it brings up informations on the animals, explain where they can be found, etc, as well as why they chose those other rational species and why they think it could've worked. |

| Try EVO, the board game This is one of the best board games ever...Not just because its about evolution I might add. Also get Dvonn, no one should be without Dvonn. |

Thank you.
But I fear that I stole the Devonian Bunny from someone else and I can't remember whom. The Cambrian Croc is mine own, but I'm not going to copywrite it.

| Well, that's odd, filthy, 'cause Googling for "devonian bunny," "devonian rabbit" or "devonian lagomorph" only turns up these discussions here, and a person calling himself "devonian rabbit" on a variety of message boards. |

Nope, that's not the one (though those are equally interesting). The one I was talking about is a cd-rom type of game (wow, I'm so specific)... |
