Things you find out....
I am not really a gamer, but I do enjoy playing at a PS console or a nice PC game whenever I have a chance. One of my favorite games is Civilization IV a strategy game, where you choose a civilization from the dawn of time (guess what ancient civilization I choose) and through diplomacy, war and technology you try to defeat rival civilizations.
One of the coolest things about this game (leaving aside Leonard Nimoy's narration or a certain individual's of our very own department voice participation) is the music. Especially the introductory theme is quite moving and uplifting. So, imagine my surprise when I did a search yesterday and found out that this song is actually the Lord's Prayer ("Our Father...") in Swahili! Now, I am not sure if a PC game is the proper place for the Lord's prayer to be heard, but why not? In any case, this is a remarkable product of evangelization.
The song ("Baba Yetu") can be downloaded from the composer's (Christopher Tin) site here. Check also "Coronation". Alternatively, you can listen to the original file (the version on the game is slightly different) here:

I like that song too.
You might want to pick up the game's second expansion set (which may already be out), where I play the Greeks. That way, you can play as your own country and be irritated by your friend's voice at the same time! :)
(Not to mentioned being outraged by how he's mispronouncing the language of your ancestors...)
