Speaking of growing pains and Walmart...

Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 1:36PMIt better be a damn good, or unique FPS, or Puzzle, or RPG.
If not, I don't care if it was about the Raaliens. If you're a game, you best be entertaining.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 1:39PMReally? Are the Left Behind people still trying to expand their products? I thought that fad died back in like 2002? Next thing you know, Topsy-Tail will try to make a comeback.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 1:43PMNah, Topsy-Tail Tomima has moved on to other things.
hey, that's the game where christians kill people who don't believe the same way they do! awesome!

Thanks for the photos of what people wear to their Walmart. I had just about run out of ideas for a new wardrobe. This will keep me in fancy clothes for quite sometime.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 2:02PMThey tried this before a couple of years ago. I think the first game crapped the bed.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 2:03PMMr. Wilonsky, it's so people can feel smugly superior to others while not exposing themselves to ridicule.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 2:56PMRobert, this is a local blog... and I'm pretty sure all of those pictures were taken at the Walmart at 30 and St. Francis, so I figured it was relevant.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 3:00PMNo, I understand the "why." I just didn't want to look at that. But, alas, I could not look away. Who could?
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 3:02PMWith the possible exception of Mr. Covington, nobody.
Okay, back to my day job... kicking puppies and poking fun at the homeless.
Note to Tim - lighten up and locate a sense of humor, Francis.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 3:20PMHeh, man i love Wal Mart. The one at 30 and St. Francis is pretty hum drum though, i've never seen anybody funny in there. Unless people who don't speak english and are most likely in this country illegally is your idea of funny.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 4:03PMLakewooder, some buttocks, once seen, cannot subsequently be un-seen. Actually, it's axiomatic: Most buttocks, once seen, cannot be unseen; thus must a Man be ever judicious as to which buttocks he chooses to see. Then, always, there are those buttocks that seem to see him first, and grant his robust but impressionable limbic system -- that magical land in each Man's cranium where dream and memory mingle, along with a host of buttocks seen and unseen -- no mercy, no respite from the offense they offer to Nature, to Man and to God himself. Such buttocks have you seemingly thrust upon us.
What I'm trying to say here is yuck.

I'm pretty sure this is my ex-girlfriend. She had an outfit just like that, except it said SEXY across the butt of her shorts.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 4:27PMAs horrible as you imagine Walmart being, I can promise you that the further you go from the city, the better the people watching. Just for fun, stop at a Walmart on your way to Houston or Austin. Wow, just wow!
Broken cans of biscuits popping out under size 16 daisy-dukes, coupled with spaghetti-strapped tanks(at least I think their are straps there?)are the norm.
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 6:55PMFinally a video game appropriate for Todd and Rod Flanders...
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 8:26PMI used to HATE Walmart and never spent a dime there, even though my parents, who retired from Wisconsin to the Ozarks, via Philadelphia made a ton of money off their stock.
Then we had Katrina and in McKinney were assigned folks who had been scooped of I 10 and distributed to our hands. Walmart had an old building they were about to tear down they not only gave to us for a homeless center, they partitioned it, made showers and play spaces for the kids, put TV's up all over the place, put in electricity where ever it was needed and just did all they could for us volunteers and the people we were receiving. We got no help from the Red Cross or Homeland security at all. This was all done by local volunteers, Walmart, churches, computer contributions, local law enforcement, social service agencies, etc.
So now I shop occasionally at Walmart to show my appreciation that they stood up and were counted for hundreds of Katrina victims along with the rest of the local volunteers.
I still dislike some of their policies and history.
They made a sequel??? The original game was panned as one of the worst ever made:
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/leftbehindeternalforces/review.html
"How goofy is this tale? Well, the battleground between the true believers' Tribulation Force and the Antichrist's Global Community Peacekeepers is a heathenish New York City. Your units include gospel-singing musicians, missionaries, healers, and medics. Enemy units feature college-trained secularists, devils, and foul-mouthed rock stars with their electric twangers. Stereotypes are everywhere. New Yawkers speak with such cheesy accents that they should be driving Brooklyn cabs in 1954 while chewing on unlit stogies. Similarly, the game has a 1950s-style attitude about men and women. Only males can become priestlike disciples and handyman builders, whereas only women can become nurses. Female units are actually designated as such and given ridiculous titles like "Friend Woman" and "Medic Woman," a sexual distinction that unsurprisingly isn't extended to their male counterparts. Finally, the game isn't politically correct when it comes to race, either, because a fair number of the bad guys bear Arab and African names.
Given the game's Christian devotion, your goal is not to wipe out the enemy as in a typical RTS game but to convert as many neutrals and baddies as possible by raising their spirit level. You seek out these people and directly target the ones you want to save with the recruit ability. If all goes well, he or she will soon be turned into a friend in either a Ned Flanders-like sweater ensemble or a sensible skirt and pumps."
Posted On: Monday, Oct. 12 2009 @ 11:24PMThese are the kinds of games religious parents buy their kids. Then the game sits in the box gathering dust.
Fred, it's hard to beat Big Rigs as the worst game ever though.
