Deeply conservative and reclusive cartoonist that made and distributed pamphlets containing cartoons about his views on how to live life in a Christian way, critiquing things he saw as ungodly such as roleplaying games, homosexuality, Islam, and satanism in a way that was usually a) incredibly unrealistic to the point of silliness and b) extremely prejudicial and bigoted.
Have you played Heroine's Quest? It's a totally free game, a lovingly fan-made homage to the QfG games
I recently did a full-series runthrough on QfG when that big Sierra Humble Bundle went up, and then finally gave Heroine's Quest a shot after. It's a better Quest for Glory game than any of the actual Quest for Glory games, with the possible exception of QfG4, which it at least ties with.
I hadn't heard about this and I am VERY intrigued
It's all wrapped up in Norse folklore/mythology, has some very clever ideas (including a frostbite mechanic that makes exploration genuinely exciting and dangerous), fun puzzles, really excellent SVGA graphics, combat that's actually half-decent, a really slick soundtrack. It's even fully voice-acted, with most of it half-competent. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Oh jeez, I kept thinking you guys were talking about a comic Chick made about Debate and Discourse. I kept wondering how Penny Arcade ended up getting Chick's attention.

I have known about Chick Tracts for nearly as long as I've had access to the Internet, but I still haven't seen one in real life.
I too thought they were a rumor and a bad joke
Then I saw the Harry Potter ones. Years later one of the church groups hides them in the liquor at work so I have a bunch of them but not the really good ones
i've seen them being sold in novelty and gag stores. which was funny at the time, but in hindsight, meant that those stores were giving money to Chick. hrmm.
The one with the pedophile who gets into heaven is the one that got removed, right?
...
You know what?
I don't want to know.
The idea probably being that the worst people can get into heaven through a profession of faith, to hammer home the point that accepting Jesus can save anyone (and provide a solid counterpoint to the Tract posted earlier with the Catholic who did good in his life but still burned).
"Got removed" from where, that Chick printed it and it got pulled from circulation?

I like me some Monkey Island, even though I can't get my copies of I and II to work on my current computer. I wound up playing them in the order 3, 1, 2, and then Tales.
Luckily there are remastered versions of 1 and 2 available on Steam and GOG. You can even play with the original graphics if you prefer.
Jack Chick's nightmare fantasy world would make a good Rifts campaign setting. I do like that this dystopian future was caused by Jesus Christ Superstar.
it had a couple good jokes but I just can't get over how they took the premise and thought "okay so the first thing we should do is make Jesus look like some blowjob from the background of a Red Hot Chili Peppers music video"

I'll say the same thing I said about Scalia
I'm not glad he's dead
but I sure am ecstatic that he's permanently retired.

Holy shit, thanks for the recommendation! I just tried it out tonight and jeez it brings back memories. Even the jokes are just like the old QfG series! (And of course I died from frostbite in 27 minutes... maybe I shouldn't try the highest difficulty setting yet.)

Trigger warning asf. It has commentary as well, condemning the tract. It's... horrifying
Fuck

Who is Jesus?
Find out on my new sitcom about That Lady and her invisible friend Jesus where they hunt vampires
I think I'll workshop this idea some more though before this nyquil knocks me out.
YOUR SATANIC VAMPIRISM IS NO MATCH FOR THE FORCE FIELD OF JESUS
The ONLY saving grace for that movie was the female lead.
If there is a Hell, that movie is being played 24/7, and we're strapped into that chair from a clockwork orange, forced to watch it for all eternity
But I remember it being thoroughly okay
