Duh Aficionado Magazine: This Wii "Praying" Game Is Fake

Nope. No. Nunh-unh. "But Gabe, they have a website." So? Everyone has a website. Your mom has a website. It's called htttp://www.mommyshomepage.com, and she hasn't updated it in nine months. What is up with her, anyway? (Thanks for the tip, Adam and Antonia.)

My mom is good... still popular in syndication. Thanks for asking, G.

I can't wait for the super secret bonus level where you jerk off a priest in a confessional.

The priest jerks you off, hass, and it's not a level but the end-game montage.

Did I have to call before midnight yesterday? Drat. I've always had trouble incorporating the ancient instrument of death into modern and realistic game-play. Totally useful, this.

The only reason I'd believe that there was a game like this for the Wii is because that they've already tried this on the Nintendo with Bible Games.

Tacky sacrilege and mock catachesis go a bit beyond the pale, even for Captain N. I would maintain that practice censoring is markedly distinct from carrying animals around on your head (Noah) so as to save the animal kingdom from God's wrath and traipsing around the desert avoiding the roman hordes (Mary and Joseph) so as to save the human kingdom from God's wrath.

err....well, maybe not.

There's also a Christian Rock version of Guitar Hero, but I'll only get it if there's lots of Faith + 1 on it.

Weirdest part about this whole post is my mom DOES have a website. A knitting website. Because my whole family is square. And we say things like "square" without any old timey irony.
....sigh.....
I don't know how many Christ Pointz that'll earn me though. And that's what really counts.

OK I feel really lame because I played Bible Games. There was also Exodus which I owned (it was a gift from my Grandma. Thanks Grandma!) Nothing says Christianity like dropping giant rocks onto your enemies.

OK I could believe this was a real thing if it weren't so obviously Catholic. What kind of Catholic would ever let a girl get anywhere close to having that kind of authority? All swinging the incense burning device, that is for dudes exclusively. Duh, fake Wii praying game.

ALTAR-SERVER STORY TIME! I very nearly burned down my church when, in 6th grade, I overloaded the incense-swingy thingy. It started to smoke uncontrollably and the priest dropped it when the smoke blinded him. The burning coals inside set the carpet on fire, and the firetrucks came. Oh yes, and this was all during someone's funeral. There aren't enough Grace Points in the world to keep me from hell after that one.
