We got to see a lot of interesting skins during the election campaign that lasted for forever. I thought it was all pretty cool, but we missed some cool possibilities for other presidential ass kicking opportunities in games.So some friends and I were talking at a lan center while playing Left 4 Dead. One of us, can’t remember who, related the only black character (Louis) to Barack Obama. Which then led to me saying (playing as Bill) “Well if he’s Barack Obama, does that make me John McCain?” From there it spread to this:

Louis: Barack Obama
Bill: John McCain
Zoey: Sarah Palin
Francis: Joe Biden

The resemblance is almost preset or something. After that it went on to say that:

Boomer: Bill Ayers
Witch: Hillary Clinton
Tank: Ron Paul
Hunter: ? [Editors pick: Janet Reno]
Smoker: ? [Editors pick: might as well just be Gene Simmons]

Mcain would start with the m16, Palin would start with the hunting rifle, Biden would get the auto shotgun, and Barack will change zombies back into regular dead bodies with his melee attack.
Instead of health packs you’d pick up reform packages and instead of pipe bombs you’d throw tax cuts or something. Still haven’t figured out anything for the Molotov or pills yet.


What other election mods would you have liked to have seen?
