Holy War: The Jensenites vs. the Schaferists

mag · 03-13-2004, 12:47 PM

After reading amishler's response to my pro-Jensen rants, I thought a good holy war might liven this place up. So since I have nothing better to do with my time and I just really want to be like deadworm, I figured I'd start this thread.

Now choose your god!

P.S. I am so going to Hell for this.

What's with the duotheism? Can't we choose any other adventure gods? :O

D.C. · 03-13-2004, 02:44 PM

Both are good. If I had to choose it would definately be Jane Jensen.

I suppose you could, but then you would be a heathen atheist.

Geeze. There's just no pleasing some pagans.

As the only true zealot Timist here, I object to you putting Tim after Jane Jansen. You should've placed them in an inverse alphabetical order. This clearly shows your pro-Jensen bias and I will not stand idly by while you piss all over my icons! FIE! YOU HEATHEN!!

James · 03-13-2004, 03:00 PM

this is a rudimentary debate - we all know tim is god - i dont see jane with any churchs, am i right? besides - none of them are biblically bearded like my true idol, the great Spector. (though the beardie thing could be kinda weird for jane. hard luck dear)

Tim has a beard... but it is that sort of odd hipster beard...

(can anyone not see this photo?)

James · 03-13-2004, 03:13 PM

thats not a beard thats a slug that stuck there from eating escargoe, the pretentious game developer.

thats a beard. and possibly a dog. or a big beard. i am really tired.

It's perfectly fair. I put them in...alphabetical order. Yeah. That's it.

Anyway, I see that despite my rigging the ballot (I'm sorry, did I say that out loud?) ten of you have chosen incorrectly. I have no choice now but to send out the Spanish Inquisition to deal with the heretics.

Sorry, I shouldn't have taken the bait.

Tim, because I haven't played a Sierra adventure that was better than Grim Fandango. Hell, it's even tough to come up with a better game from any game developer.

Oi erwin!

Don't get all serious on us now, you hear me?!

anyway, Tim ofcourse! He's the only one who has a doubleheaded ~~baby~~ angel. Don't see 'miss Jane' have that any time soon

You haven't played Gabriel Knight 3 yet? 8-)

Sure, Grim Fandango was pretty good. But what else has he done? Day of the Tentacle? Please. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Yawn. Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire? Lame!

I can't help it that so many of you are misguided in your beliefs.

Hey, don't diss Day of the Tentacle.

You're becoming an extremist.

I understand now why your avatar seems to be on fire... (that'll be: you're burning in hell!)
Jane is ok, though.

Tim never worked on
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis nor Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire!!!!! He worked on MI, MI2, Full Throttle. All of those games are superior in every regard to JJ's games. EVERY REGARD!! GK3 is monstrous in EVERY REGARD except the story which, btw, doesn't even come CLOSE to Grim Fandango.

Pappapisshu · 03-13-2004, 05:51 PM

I'll let Kingz the rest of the Shaferists speak for me.

There is no God, but The God, and Tim is his name.
(stolen from somewhere.)

(haven't played any of Jane's games though.

Then he's not a god, merely a half-god...

It's not that it's bad, just that it's merely good...

Well, geeze. Having a holy war isn't any fun if you're going to be so nice about it. Where are the petty, childish insults?

Here we go.

That's not what Moby Games says. But maybe they're wrong. If so, I apologize for the confusion.

MI and Full Throttle were good. Not great. Just good. Grim Fandango and MI2 are the only Schafer games that even come close to a Gabriel Knight game.

You know not of what you speak. GK3 has better puzzles. It has better controls (the GF interface was extremely awkward). It has FULL 3D graphics. And the story blows Grim Fandango's story out of the water. GF's story was pretty good, but in the end was rather typical. Kill the bad guy. Get the girl. How original. GK3, on the other hand, had a storyline including several heresies and an ending that's actually interesting.
