The Witcher is not just a Polish-developed video game series, it’s based on a series of books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. So The Witcher is something of a national pride symbol, as well it should be. Fahey reviewed the game for us, and it earned a Kotaku Editor’s Choice star.
Will Barack Obama Play The Witcher 2? [Polygamia]

“Is Obama a witch? Plays game about demons”
“Obama plays video games while US economy struggles”
And so on…

Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 3:55 AMHonestly, It doesn’t matter what side of the aisle they sit their butts, politicians love to demonize ‘newfangled’ things for political gain.
(Some Democrats with a history of such things are Joe Lieberman, Hilary Clinton, Tipper Gore, etc…)
But yeah, I guess a Dem would have to be *pretty* ballsy to attack Obama about anything… That’s almost as dangerous as going after Oprah ;-)
Though it’d be great if someone decides to accuse Poland of trying to harm Obama’s kids with their ‘orgasmic rape simulators’ lol

Monday, May 30, 2011 at 2:18 AMWhat exactly do they expect him to so with it? Or is it just in there for the publicity?

Monday, May 30, 2011 at 8:47 AMOf course it’s for publicity, it’s not like you’d expect a diplomat to just start playing a didgeridoo. I reckon it’s far from being tacky, honestly they’re embracing technology & showcasing it as great tribute. Wish the same could be said in other countries.
