VG247's The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.22: The best game about gods that isn't God of War

[ad_1]

I don’t believe in any god. I don’t think that’s a particularly unusual point of view in 2022, at least in some parts of the world, but if I did there are certainly some moments that stick with me as things I’d have potentially given a deity credit for.

I was once sat under a tree watching a game of amateur cricket. From the tree fell the largest pinecone I’d ever seen and to probably ever exist in the history of the world. The kind of pinecone that if it were to land on a head, would crush it like a hammer on a watermelon. This pinecone got so close to my head I heard it woosh past my ear. Death by pinecone avoided, but was it a god that saved me?

I walk the same route every weekday as I take my son to school. Not too long ago, on a surprisingly warm morning in September, my brisk walk was brought to a sudden halt as a heavy droplets pummeled the pavement just a few feet in front of me. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, they hit. I checked myself. I checked my son. No bird shit had hit us. We were safe. Was this a god?
