Now buy your little brother The Binding of Isaac. Just like old-school Zelda games.

He should really enjoy it.

I don't know if he's ready for vagina lasers, though

[–]Simba7 10 points11 points ago

I always thought of those as asshole lasers.

Since he already has The Frosting of Isaac, he would have a set!

[–]Simba7 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He definitely will. It's got a lot of added gross-factor (pus-spewing monsters, piles of poo, gas as an attack, mom's pad) that a 10 year old will enjoy extra hard.

Plus it heavily references the story of Abraham and Isaac, so he'll be like "Lol what the fuck the Bible's retarded." Always a plus.

Make sure you deliver the game with some awesome BoI themed gifts like a severed cat head and a fetus.

[–]Simba7 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha, that'd be great. A shoebox with BoI in it, plus a dead bird, Tammy's head, Max's head, some piss, some shit, an asphyxiated baby, fetuses, flies...*

SCAR FOR LIFE.

*Note: Would not actually be a good idea.

Only on reddit can a post about a Zelda cake turn into a goddamned religious fight.

[–]OkonkwoJones 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, they are family and families tend to do this. It's wrong to tell little kids you don't know what to believe, but family members express religious opinion among each other and it's not really that wrong. I don't believe in forcing family members to accept a certain religion, but it's not bad to say to your little brother, "This game is based on a story from the bible, that shit is ridiculous". It is still ultimately up to the kid to make a choice.

[–]Simba7 -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I didn't realize presenting an parallel version of a bible story constituted making a choice for someone. I'm sorry the religion lends itself to such a twisted tale, but that's not really my fault is it?

Since you obviously haven't played the game, I'll give you a bit of info on it.

Intro scene: Isaac is sitting there playing with his toys, mom is watching Christian Broadcasts, she hear voice of god telling her Isaac is corrupt. Mom removes isaac's worldy things (toys, pants, etc). Mom goes back to watching TV. Hears god again, tells her Isaac is still corrupt, she locks him in his room. She hears god again telling her Isaac must be killed. As mom kicks down the door to Isaac's room, the main menu screen appears and our game begins. (The game itself follows Isaac's matricidal fantasies and has a couple different endings.)


As a funny anecdote, my dad (very Christian) saw me playing the game when I was visiting his house a while back and asked me what it was, told him, explained it was double interesting because it paralleled the Bible with the whole Abraham telling god to kill Isaac thing. He responds "That doesn't sound very Biblical." and I said "Well... it's in there dad."

[–]meter1060 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well in the Bible Abraham didn't kill Isaac, nor was it because God considered Isaac corrupt. Really the only parallel is that they were both asked to kill an Isaac.

[–]Simba7 -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Isaac's mom never kills Isaac (unless you're bad and die to mom!) Couple that with all the religious items (Bible, Revelations, The Wafer, etc), the religious bosses (7 Deadly Sins, 4 Horsemen), the creepy-as-fuck sunday school song that plays when you finally beat Sheol and it's not really arguable.

But "asked, by god, to kill Isaac" is pretty much the entirety of the Biblical story, so I'm not sure what your point is!

[–]meter1060 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I sort of meant that God stopped Abraham from killing him, which I believe, is different in the game.

You caught me, I'm bigoted against the belief that repressing women and homosexuals is OKAY. Feelsbad. It's not bigoted to think a belief is a ridiculous bro, it's bigoted to want to repress that group, or to express animosity towards it. Otherwise we'll have a bunch of ridiculous scenarios like "Oh you think Saudi women should be able to drive like WHORES? Why are you such a bigot?" I mean, would you ever teach your kid that it's possible women shouldn't be allowed to drive because it might lead them to promiscuity?

But no, I suggested it could steer him down the path that he walked on his own and arrive at the logical conclusions he found on his own. Not that there's anything wrong with teaching a kid common sense. If we had you're we, I suppose we'd isolate the poor kid from math and science. Let's let him learn rocket surgery on his own.

Oh, atheism is a cirlce-jerk. Ha ha.

Ridicule does not equate to animosity. If a man told me he believed in Leprechauns at age 25, I would laugh at him, and (let's be honest) I would probably think less of him, and I'd probably try to convince him Leprechauns don't exist. But I wouldn't hate him.

In summation: "Respect my beliefs" is a ridiculous notion. If a belief deserves respect, I will give it respect. If that's considered bigotry, then I will gladly proclaim myself a bigot! (Note: It's definitely not considered bigotry.)

Knock him out and put him in a mock-space ship with a bunch of people dressed up as terrifying half-human monsters, so when he wakes up he'll think he has to fight his way out of it to survive. The next step is you dressing up as a large monster, easily overpowering him, and just as he thinks you're about to end his life reveal the cake.
