Is The Divine Comedy called Dante's Inferno in english?
Inferno is the first part of Italian writer Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno describes Dante's journey through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine concentric circles of torment located within the Earth; it is the "realm ...

What a wonderful book, but I can't say I ever got to the story.
Same here. To really understand everything, you would have to be a specialist in 14th century Italian history. Some of the "villains" who are getting punished in hell in the story, were contemporaries of Dante. Others are well known from classic literature, but surprisingly, while we tend to see them more as heroes, they are considered as villains as well (for example Odysseus).
If you want a version of the story more in line with our modern mindset, I would recommend Larry Niven's Inferno.

Brings a smile to my face as well! Its really heckin' impressive that the game has so many positive reviews.
Like- the game has almost as many reviews (346) as it has pages of forum conversation (409). That ratio is wild.
Most players correctly identify how great the content is- and after that feel the need to gush over it in review. Pretty special really.

Yes, I know that... and "Dante's Inferno" is a game, would be really bad if Dante named his masterpiece in a silly way like that, especially when "Inferno" is just the first part of it...

Whenever I read or hear about Dante's Inferno I have to think of a scene in Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry, where a fictional character descents the nine layers of Hell in an elevator. It always makes me laugh:

To quote the late Bon Scott: Hell ain't a bad place to be.

They discuss and study this particular piece of literature to this day and age. To get most of it is enough to read it a few times in its entirety. But to really understand every reference, implication, nuance etc. none of us can get old enough to really understand it all. It is a fantastic piece of art that mixes religion, mythology, psychology, fear, terror and many more to combine it to a masterpiece for the mind and intellect.
And that is just the first part.

Dante's Purgatorio and Paradiso is a whole other debate again. And they even study that to this day and age.

THAT'S IT! A temple dedicated to Denise and Macy in the form of a bouncy castle. With inflatable statues of the girls inside. Worshippers could then have themselves launched into the temple, by a trebuchet of course, and bounce around until they reach nirvana...:giggle:
Denise and Macy's Bouncy Castle on Tour. Join us and get launched by a trebuchet of your choosing to land on the biggest tits and ass you ever find and enjoy the ride when hundreds of ppl try to jump into nirvana on the most splendid lady parts who ever saw the day of light.

Problem is, it already exists. Prepare for some copyright claims

Quality assurance stage - fingers crossed :cool:
Quality assurance stage
1. 8/10 testers have approved the tits and ass ratio.
2. 1 died tragically in an ongoing fapping accident.
3. Last man standing has taken the current build hostage and demands 3 things. A denise and macy bouncy house, a trebuchet and a getaway bear to ride to safety.

This is Light of my Life news. I'm your host curtis interruptus!

Police is on the scene but sadly seem very occupied on the bouncy house.
Sources state that half the police department is investigating the bouncy house for a week now while the other half is figuring out how to build a trebuchet.
Two officers have gone missing trying to get a getaway bear from the woods.
Eye witness claim they saw the two female officers getting licked and taken away by what appears to be a bear but we can not confirm this.

Stay tuned.
