Is that what the guy was trying to say: That playing the game is like eating Jesus?... which for those of you who aren't familiar is one of the per-requisites for being a good christian...you have to eat Jesus every Sunday.Orange Lazarus said:I wanted to reply with some sort of 'game disc = eucharist' comparison, but it's just not coming to me.GonzoGamer said:Is there some sort of peripheral I haven't heard of?

You're assuming they actually know what the hell Diablo is.Azuaron said:I'm a little confused... so, in Diablo, you fight demons, eventually descending to Hell and fighting Diablo himself to save the world."Interestingly, also launching today: Diablo 3, the newest installment of a game series built around battles with demonic creatures, which debuted in 1996 with the tagline, 'All Hell breaks loose'," the studio said in a press release.
"Both games immerse the player, and you are what you eat," Lightside CEO Brent Dusing added. I can't even begin to guess what that's supposed to mean.
Dusing seems to be trying to imply that playing Diablo will make you a Satanist or something. But if you take his statement, "you are what you eat," to its logical metaphoric conclusion (the role you take in games becomes the role you take in life), everyone who plays Diablo III will become a crusader against (legitimate!) evil.
I seriously doubt they do. But then, their target audience also doesn't know what the hell Diablo is, thus completing the circle of ignorance. Of course, their picture shows Jesus punching out the Devil in a boxing match, so it's possible neither of the parties knows what the hell Christianity is either.Zachary Amaranth said:You're assuming they actually know what the hell Diablo is.
He knows enough to know you battle demonic creatures.Zachary Amaranth said:I have to give them credit for their optimism.

I could be misreading since its morning and I'm didn't have my coffee yet, but I'm pretty sure those were the developers of the Jesus game, not Blizzard.MasterSaji said:Well, my faith in Blizzard is no more...Andy Chalk said:the developers say they do think the game will "open conversations about faith."
