"i can't say i've detected anything offensive to
religious factions in your games. in fact, only 'holly
rollers' springs to mind, which isn't in bad taste at
all."
I've never considered incorporating it before. I don't
like religion at all, but Willy games aren't generally
the place for protest, and anyway I don't like
backlashes. I had this wild idea of using PC Willy as a place
to experiment with more, I dunno, up front ideas,
but now it all seems very stupid and a bad idea. So
that's that settled then. Only Smashing Pumpkins quotes
and psychedelic wibblings for me from now on
:)
Incidentally, Holy Rollers never had sod* all to do with
religion. When I conceived of the room design, the room
already had some sort of cross graphic in it somewhere (I
forget which one). The Holy Rollers line was lifted from
a Sheryl Crow song, and I was away. In retrospect
it looks like one of the ugliest rooms in Time Hole
(all that cursed flashing), but the idea works fine,
so I'm happy.
*I'm getting more risque with
language here. This is what comes from hanging out on
alt.music.pink-floyd all the time - everybody swears there all the
time
