I don't think it needs to turn into a "my religion has suffered more than yours has" argument. I'm not sure if that was in this (of the three available) posts, but running around saying "we have to be sensitive about this because people of our faith were stoned to death in the past" is a non-starter. Good god. …

Taiko no Tatsujin DS! The drumming game! Because they don't kick you off your attempt even if you screw up mightily, and smacking away with drumsticks while three sheets to the wind is crude form of paradise.

"Of all things?" Why on earth of all things? I've helped out at cons before on the handout committees, and the first order of business was providing newcomers with the tools to get around the city.
