"Link, just google 'Palin Creation'...can't you use google? Why should I link such an obvious fact

"Cause it's the OFF TOPIC FORUM"

"I didn't watch the videos, but I'm just going to jump on the hater haters bandwagon and say he sucks."

"Now I remember why I hate interpretations... They take away what I wanted the game to represent and make it less interesting to me, personally. Here I took to heart as being a great game about a love-interest, something I can relate too, and has turned it into the A-Bomb, no doubt some gloating pretentious concept by some hippie types. I say that having visited the Braid blog. Those fellows are a dangerous level of liberal.

In any case... Thanks everyone for ruining the game for me! Your logic is too damned sense-making that it has to be about the A-Bomb and not about what I wanted it to be.

Sure I could still try and water the basic idea down but... Dude the lady EXPLODES.

Oh well. I suppose the truth is what I want, so the truth is what I get. I just hate how the truth tends to be less fun than I want it to be. You win, again, reality. You win again."

Anyone?

Oh don't get me wrong.  I'm NOT buying all those, but those are all games that look like they'll be worth playing, and that are all coming out over the next several months.

Like I said before, two older white guys = who cares.  Now either vote cast will be a vote for a unique first in American politics.  Even if this doesn't work out for McCain in the end, I'm sure it will bring him much closer than he would have gotten with another old white male.  It's also going to make the debates REALLY interesting.

I just want to say a few things here in support of both the Obama and McCain campaigns.

I fully believe that Obama has FAR less experience than McCain, and I personally don't think that matters very much at all.  We're electing a president, not a king.  Issues matter more than experience, and our system of checks and balances goes a long way in helping with that.  The "celebrity" angle Obama is being attacked on is pretty stupid as well.  He's running for the most powerful position in American government, so yeah, he's kinda famous.  That said, he's nothing like Paris Hilton or that other dumb bitch that appears in that ad, and it's pretty disrespectful suggest otherwise.  That was also the first attack ad I noticed, so I have to hand it to the Obama campaign for not throwing the first punch.

As for McCain and Palin, if experience isn't a very big concern with Obama, it should be damn right nonexistent with Palin.  Palin is running for VICE president, and she arguably has more experience with actual government leadership than Obama.  As for the ads attacking McCain by suggesting we'd be electing some sort of Bush clone, that's a load of crap.  My mother is a HARDCORE republican, and I have to hear about politics whenever I see her.  All through the primaries, and for years now, I heard her talking about how McCain is really a democrat in republican's clothing, and how she wouldn't even vote for him for the presidency if he won the primaries.  She's come around now that he's her only option, but she HATED McCain, and loves George Bush.  So trust me, when McCain talks about being a maverick who goes against party lines, you can believe it.  He's not George W. Bush part 2.

One last thing. Both McCain and Obama are saying they can essentially wave a magic wand and make the economy better again, and if you believe either of them, you're wrong.  I'm sorry, but the president doesn't have direct control over world economics.  It just doesn't work like that.

I've been looking for a review of this game for a few days now, and can't find a thing.  Seems like it might be a decent game, if you can get comfortable with the somewhat different control style the game uses.  It also seems like it could be a fairly large game with a nice sized campaign, but it's hard to tell from the demo. 

My guess is that it isn't selling very well, and that's kinda sad knowing the history behind the game's development.  It's the first project from a guy who used to program games for Capcom, and a bunch of game developer students just out of college. : (
