Gamers Election Point Of View (full of Sarcasm)
GeekSquad | 6:19 PM on 10.08.2008 3 comments




While I am still at a loss on who to vote for this year, I decided to look at each ticket from a gamers' point of view. Which ticket to vote for will be a level up or down depending on how they do.

McCain - Palin is one ticket that is hard to follow but is the one that I am leaning toward. He has served in the military and let's face it, there are an endless amount of military games. He reminds me of a Sgt Slaughter and also of Duke Nukem. You just never know what he's gonna say. Palin strikes me as a person who was at level 1, but then who leveled up (for those MMO lovers) and made a name for herself (politically speaking) in Alaska. She reminds me of characters you would find in the video games of Carmen Sandiego. You know, "Where in the world is Palin? " And, honestly, Palin just rubs me the wrong way, always giving obscure details, not really giving her opinions, but generalizing things to appease people.

Obama - Biden is a hard one to follow as well. I feel like I need a player's game guide to find the hidden secrets and information I need in order to make a solid voting decision. Obama is hard to relate to a video game, but when I watch him on TV attempt to answer a valid question, he reminds me of Mike Tyson's "Punch Out", skipping and dancing around the questions instead of answering it. Can I get knocked out before he just honestly answers a guestion. Biden without a doubt is Jack Thompson but a politician. Biden is happy to tell you how he feels about a subject that gets him TV time. He will be pro this and pro that but once he is on TV he just rants and raves.

Back to fixing computers - Boo Ya!

"Obama-Biden is a hard one to follow as well"

Cheap stab at Obamas debating tactics (agreeing with opponent) or best subtle joke ever? The world may never know...

Obama reminds me of Dom from Gears.
