Goofy Christmas Idea #1: “Left Behind”
With Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza just around the corner, I thought I would start a new feature on Goofyblog…
GOOFY CHRISTMAS IDEAS!
Every few days I’ll be featuring a really nifty Christmas gift you might want to purchase for your loved ones, family member, cranky old grandparent, or mortal enemy.
So let’s get started!
Goofyblog’s first 2006 Christmas Idea….
Do you have one of those youngens in your family who like to play those shoot’em up computer games all the time?
Is this same delinquent pulling away and ignoring the glorious teachings of the Lord, and Jesus H. Christ?
Well never fear! Now your precious little white babies can learn about the Lord, AND Kill heathens at the same time!, by playing the new LEFT BEHIND – ETERNAL FORCES game from Left behind Games.
This game will help teach your children how to blow away them Islamo Dune Coons, Queer-Boy Fargots, and Liberal Atheist Commies in this wonderful game about Converting to the Love of Christ at the time of the Rapture.
Teach your children the joy of on-the-spot conversions on the streets of sin city, and if that fails, the even greater joy of putting the non-believers out of their misery!
LEFT BEHIND is an amazing game, but you don’t have to take my word for it, the reviewers over at Gamespot gave LEFT BEHIND a Whopping 3.4 rating! (out of 10).
LEFT BEHIND is on sale now at your local Wal-Mart, and other fine Quasi Christo-Fascist shopping establishments.
Get it now! Before you’re….
LEFT BEHIND!!!

Because the Lime Project is a wonderful, helpful, thoughtful gift that anyone would be happy to receive that is not Goofy in the least?

This statement is posted from an employee of Left Behind Games on behalf of Troy Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer.
There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.
Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO “killing in the name of God” and NO “convert or die”. There are NO “negative portrayals of Muslims” and there are NO “points for killing”.
Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.com
Then, we’d love to hear your feedback as an informed player.
The reality is that we’re receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.
Thank you for taking the time to be a responsible blogger.

I have a better idea. How about a review from the most respected gaming website out there? Gamespot. Their review is here…
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/leftbehindeternalforces/index.html?q=left%20behind
A Whopping 3.4 rating! (out of 10).
I quote from the review…
“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. ”
‘Nuiff Said.
At the end of the day, regardless of how crass, biased, and plainly stupid this game is, at the end of the day, it just sucks.
