But what backlog could Adam and Eve possibly have in the start of creation? Some Minecraft level shit?
Skyrim: Genesis Edition
Skyrim on the Sega Genesis? Interesting…..
Its been ported to everything else from toasters to pregnancy tests, why not a sega genesis.
Skyrim Pregnancy Test! That really needs to happen.
And on the seventh day, God put down the controller and said, “OK, I think I pretty much unlocked everything I can in this sim game. I’ll just string them along for a few thousand years with promises of a messiah-level DLC, then tease the sequel in some revelation to a guy on Patmos.”
Humanity: *crucifies the DLC in reviews ’cause they wanted something different.*
God: “Well, fine, you’re banned from the sequel.”
The only game you’ll ever need: Atari’s Adventure. Just watch out for the Bat – he’s a klepto.
Because it was Paradise, they had all possible video games to play, like that alternate universe where there was a Third Force Unleashed game
You mean Half-Life three?
Truly, the worst timeline.
Throw in “infinity $$ for all micro transactions and gatchas” and we have a deal, God.
You’re perhaps asking for too much.
Even better. . . no micro transations or gatchas. . .
No there would be no micro transactions. Evil would not be released!
There wouldn’t be microtransactions and gachas in the first place.
There was, shortly on, a small change when one of the Angels became estranged and was cast out, whereup said Angel raised a powerful force to counter the strength of heaven.
His name was Lucifer and his army was know as ‘EA’.
‘Evil Assholes.’ Lol it even Fits!
Yeah backlog is killing me too, last time with wasteland 2 (which I for some reason never finished) when wasteland 3 came out. Argh the pain
If I had to guess based off of my memory of Wasteland 2: The arbitrary reverse bell-curve of a difficulty spike?
Yes that and the „where the flying f do I need to go“ mentality in some parts of the game
Partly Done: Battletech (30 days short of a 1200 day campaign) Hard West (stuck on one map where I just can’t clear it) Skyrim (level 26-30, haven’t done a single main questline, as I am trying to do 90% of the non-main story quests first) Oblivion (ran into the glitch where I got Vampirism (after dodging the spot you get it until I was forced there) and the guy with the cure never, ever, ever shows up in the capital where he’s supposed to – haven’t had the patience to start again) Super Mega Baseball 3 (Part way through my… Read more »
Not only skill but in case of rpgs you need to understand the Story to and „feel“ your character“ which is why I startet pathfinder like 4 times and never finished (and probably never will)
You know, technically, if they don’t eat the fruit, you dont get to draw them with the SFW leafs 😀
I came here to say something like that.
My head-canon is that Adam had something along the lines of a “gunpowder incident,” and they subsequently came to this conclusion without eating the fruit.
Also: navels
*stares at all his unplayed games*
We could have lived in paradise…
But instead we get this
*Gets crushed under a backlog avalanche*
As one of many people who recently found a lot of time on their hands, I can tell you that much like procrastinating anything else, you don’t get to your video game backlog just because you have the time, either.
And it turns out sometimes when you THINK you’re going to have lots of time, because ‘lockdowns & so on’, it turns out many simple things are harder and more time consuming and all of a sudden, there isn’t as much time as you thought because wife needs more help, elders need more help, kids need half a teacher to augment the half that online virtual learning sort of provides, etc.
I imagined so much more could be done during the last two years… but no…. the backlog still leers and jeers at me….
You’re forgetting one thing:
We would never HAVE Video Games, if it weren’t for leaving Paradise. At least that’s my theory.
This is due to the fact that Humanity would need no Mastery of Nature for Survival. We wouldn’t need tools, when everything was handed to us on a silver platter. For instance, one of humanity key inventions was Fire…something we would never need, since we’d never know Cold.
Don’t forget about the secret of steel!
I think that involves a Riddle and some dude name ‘Crom’.
Would we even be born? I’m not sure, but weren’t, according to the Bible, Adam & Eve immortal prior to getting exiled from Eden? What would they need kids for?
Assumed by many fundamentalists and creationists, which is used to argue against evolution – but not specifically stated. Rather, upon creation God reminds Adam that he is mortal – made of ‘dust’ – who will one day return to being dust. The ‘death’ that comes with the fall of mankind is a spiritual death to sin.
LIterally the 28th verse in the Bible, before the fall:
…and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.” – Genesis 1:28
“And subdue it…”
Yes, we certainly have…
I don’t think that meant ‘and beat it half to death so it needs life support…’
Yes…have you never even actually read The Bible…let alone comprehend it?
Now I am wondering what Garden of Eden Creation Kit really does…
You know how bad it is for me? Witcher 3 is on my backlog, and I owned it since two years ago.
That’s nothing. I’ve repurchased games I have yet to get to in my backlog, sometimes multiple times and on multiple platforms, just because I “know” I’ll eventually want to play them. I’ve purchased at least four copies of the original three Fallout games from Interplay (DVD, Steam, GOG, direct download from Interplay, etc.), yet I’ve never played them.
But I will! One day! Right after I finally get around to one of my three copies of Bioshock…
Uh-huh. I’ve still got Disgaea 2 (and beyond) and dot//hack on my back catalogue.
Unpopular opinion: you aren’t missing anything. Leave Witcher 3 in your backlog.
Yeah it’s just one of the best RPGs ever. Not worth it.
But why are they wearing leaf if they didn’t eat fruit?
They are Toronto fans. Still hoping for another Stanley Cup (kind of like eternity).
Because Tim doesn’t make hentai
Had no idea that Adam was a Canuck. Makes sense.
But if we don’t eat that fruit how will Bioware ever include moral choices in their games???
What moral choices? I’ve never seen those, and I’ve played… 5 BioWare games, 3 of them multiple times.
Were any of them KOTOR?
:Has Free Time:
“You know what I really want to play right now? That game I’ve beat like 5 times from older console generations”
That’s very true, I mean, I stopped counting, but I’ve played and finished Baldur’s Gate 2 (with variious mods) at least 10 times. And currently I’m playing XCom 2, also for the Nth time (and Children of Morta for the first time, so it’s not just replaying stuff, though).
I don’t think Children of Morta ever *truly* ends. Sure I’ve “beaten” the story. But I keep finding new collectible/side story items. And all the characters are still barely half leveled. xD
I don’t think I’ll much care about collecting everything, and levelling the characters for… what, its own sake? When they are good enough to get through the story, that’s, well, good enough for me.
Not gonna lie, I’ve been following this webcomic for a while and I’ve enjoyed it, but this one is clearly one of the best strips in quite a while! Thanks for the good laugh!
Also: that timeline has no buggy, broken releases because infinite dev-time like infinite play-time. And the devs are angelic, sustained by positive feedback.
Apparently I’m weird, because I don’t look at it as a backlog. Games are supposed to be fun, and that makes it too much like work. When I feel like playing a game, I play whatever seems fun at the time. Like anything else, there will always be games that go unplayed, so there’s no point in obsessing over them.
The idea of feeling bad that you want to play a certain game while your backlog grows bigger flies in the face of why we play video games.
Personally, I take joy in having a long backlog, because not every game is going to be what I expect, so I instead sample games and just play what I want.
Life’s too short to spend it depressed because of some arbitrary rules about how you spend your R&R.
Who said anyone’s depressed abut our backlogs? Good grief, way to take things to extremes.
Gee, way to basically ignore my point, then take my comment, which was meant to shift perspective and turn a bad thing into a good thing, so negatively. ?
I applaud their trigger discipline.
It is real. I finally just started BotW!
Never ever had a backlog of video games.
Great job on the trigger discipline.
… but then how would MMOs work? o_o
Without an Internet connection. Giant RPG sandboxes with couch co-op, just as it should be.
It’s not a “backlog”, it’s a “collection”! (One day I’ll get to them, even if it’s just to try them.)
Also, Biblically, there is no “knowledge” without that tree.
That is “The Tree of the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”. Specifying “good and evil” was basically that ancient culture’s way of saying “of everything”. Like saying I’ve searched “far and near” means “everywhere”.
Must be the lost 26th verse of Genesis 2.
Hehe, just picturing the ‘Adam’ from the anime Record of Ragnarok. Good stuff.
I literally dream of such paradise
