My bad idea for the next controversial video game smash hit

Genre: Ninja Gaiden/ Prince of Persia (new versions) style, with boss battles at stage ends. You play as Claudius, disgraced Roman soldier. You must fight your way back to glory through fifteen levels of rebels who are disgracing the Roman mythos. The first twelve bosses are the apostles, each one armed with a distinctive piece of religious iconography honed to violence. Then you fight John the Superbaptist, Mary Magdeline, and the Virgin Mary in the next four levels. The game ends with you bare handed taking on a twelve foot tall Jesus armed with a miraculous nail gun shaped like a cross. If you are victorious, the Roman people build a statue in your honor where you are depicted with the lower half of a jackal and the upper half of a platipus. And wings.

another infrequent post

sometimes you just need to climb a hill. A big, red, sandy hill at 2:30 in the morning. From there, you fling large rocks and various chunks of wood towards a muddy pool at the bottom. You can see the city from the top, but you cannot see the top from the bottom if you are not a distance from the base. You will feel like a ninja, crawling up and down the slopes like someone who feels like a ninja. If you don't feel like a ninja, you probably won't feel like a ninja, but if you do, then there's something special. Real special. Fried mouse head on a stick special. Then all the children carry their mouseheads on a stick with the cellophane wrappers in one hand and baloons on a string in the other. Balloons that look just like the moon except that they are not whitish-gray, cratered, and possess to phase change cycle. Balloons are also not thousands of miles in diameter and 144,000 miles away. They are also very unlikely to rotate around the earth. If they did, those balloons: those would be some special balloons. Almost as special as special balloons.
