World of Whitehouse: Obama's FCC Transition Team
Avatar sex is da-bomb!
As for MMO gamers being in charge of the FCC? Maybe we will see more of a european additude toward language on TV.
Shit should be perfectly allowable on network TV.
Well Jeff, I spend a lot of time in Second Life over the last two years and I can assure you that not every one is totally weird. Probably 70% are weird in one way or another but the rest are sane. I am sure there are a few within that 30% who are "smart" enough to be appointed to this position. Lets just hope that these two are in that "few."
"will server as co-chairs." touche sir
also, Jericho would win but only if the match took place in 1999-early 2000's
There are some freaks on Second Life, but there are also casual community people, too. I guess, I never went there. But if William Gibson can give a virtual talk there, it can't be all bad.
If those Second Life freaks start making policies akin to those found in that game, we are all doomed. Still, I do find it fascinating that someone in politics plays such a game.
I recall Obama's comment on GTA4, it was a sensible one I recall.
EDIT:
Ippon!, Haohmaru.
"But in the fight, does Chris Jericho have a weapon? Or are they both going on their instincts here?"
Dude is screwed if he ain't got no Bushido blade. Haohmaru will draw you in close and punish Chris with a Crescent Moon Slash
I don't see how it makes much of a difference. I really doubt it was a contributing factor. ;)
Also, fuck the FCC.
LostCause mentioned that some people arent wierdos on second life,....here's two that are.
On topic: I dont know how relevant their gaming knowledge will have to do with their jobs. Hopefully its some kind of step in the right direction though, as long as Kevin Werbach actually gets away from his 'virtual intellectuals' and does his job! I doubt "sorry im late i was raiding a dungeon" will be a sufficient excuse in the whitehouse.
Mr. President, So far, in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, my dwarf has had to dig through poop, to find coveted objects, on 3 seperate occasions. One of said times, was human fecal material, one wolf, and the other being bat excrement (make the batshit crazy joke in your head). My point being, what is the administration's stance on virtual poop?, and does the FCC have any plans on limiting the species, of said poop, to only non-human strains? Thank you.
Maybe we can get the Second Life avatars can pay off all the debts we have.
Whenever I hear of Second Life, I always hear it's this big empty place, how does it stay afloat?
But I'm sure like any other place, it has its good and bad people
When I think of WOW, the first thing that comes to mind is
LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEEEEEENKINS!
Is that a bad thing?
I play video games so I can shoot zombies, which I can't do in real life.
I never quite understand why people feel the need to join "virtual worlds" to socialize. Can't we just do that in real life?
And don't get me started on the people who complain that all games are "violent." I have this great idea for a video game. You spend all your time in the game helping homeless people. Of course you really need to min/max (it's a real grind) so you'll have no time to help actual homeless people. But, boy, what a constructive and socially aware game!
