@WonkersWatilla: GOD DAMN YOUR POWER-UPS!

Mister_Jack

Y'know what's funny is that I haven't heard nearly half as much complaining about the election results from all us Republicans as I have complaints about CA's Proposition 8 passing from Democrats.

Also, oh yay it's a reskinned platformer.

@ALT:
It's not 'Super Obama World', it's 'Goddamn Obama World'!!

Lazlo

Its cute but very slow and clunky - or is it just my machine?

Azriel101

You can backtrack from the Bridge to Nowhere and then head down the 'cliff face' to more stuff.

Stuart Houghton

Yeah, I really shouldn't have played the bridge to nowhere one first.

Sitting here doing nothing? Not that much fun.

Pretty cute, though.

@WonkersWatilla: Like the poison mushrooms you mean? Stay away from those.

ALT

That was kinda fun. Makes me want to play Mario...

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Seeing how things went, he had a lot of time to develop just an Obama one.

scotty

So where's my Reverend Wright power-ups?

WonkersWatilla

I wonder if he was developing it with both McCain and Obama and then just put it up with the winner sprite.

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

hah you took mah tip!!! so great

uppitycracker

cute...

@omicron1: Well Prop 8 is taking rights away from American citizens, Obama winning isnt.

Gray665

This doesn't work. I get the ad, then nothing.

ggodo

Hey, that looks like a pig with lipstick on, nice touch ;) wonder what other character are in there.

Masterpain22

For some reason, that reminds me more of the McDonalds platformers rather than Mario Bros.

Spritz

@omicron1:

How so?

@Gray665: The question is fully open to debate on whether it's a right in the first place - but I won't start.

Also, in Canada, 'gay rights' has started to infringe upon the right of freedom of religion. Just to note.

I like the artwork, but the looping sub-MIDI quality music is hell on my ears. Also, what's the point of having Question Mark blocks if there's nothing but flag pins inside? And I got real sick of starting over every time I died.

@Fuzzy Logic: oops, fat fingered it. I meant to say "These referendums are the last gasp of a quickly antiquating mindset. 20 years ago these referendums would have won by 40 points. In 20 years, they'll lose by 40 points."

Fuzzy Logic

@omicron1: Omicron, why are you using the singular 'it'? The rights denied by Proposition 8 are numerous. There are so many rights and laws tied into civil marriages (hospital visitation, next-of-kin status for estates and wills, shared custody of children, etc.) that people are being denied.

I'm sure if your wife were dying and the government had just passed a law keeping you from seeing her in the hospital for no good reason, you'd throw a fit, too.

@omicron1: We're liberals, whining is in our DNA, just like pretend outrage is in conservative DNA.

Seriously though, I'll be sad about it, but it won fair and square. Democracy prevailed. Unfortunately, so did ignorance. The ray of hope is that these referendums are t

@omicron1: Although I supported McCain, I'm kind of glad Obama won, because if he lost, the angry mobs probably would have turned my car over and pinned a letter onto my front door with a battleaxe which would read as the following:

Obama is like a seed of happiness.

Anywhere I hear his name, it's full of joy, God bless the man, I'm happy the USA finally has the president they've waited so long for :)

Strife56

@em: After a little reading, from what I understand, Canada's gay rights infringe on the religious right to hate gay people.

I got the info from catholicinsight.com/online/features/article_788.shtml so take that how you will.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: I doubt it since it's heavily making fun of Alaska.

Schmatz

@omicron1: If you want to hear some conservative complaining, hit up the Fox News comment section on the election articles. I made the grave error of doing that last night, and the number of people claiming this was the end of America was astonishing. It was terrifying (I'm not lumping you in with those people Omicron, they took stupidity to a whole new level).

Though one guy was excited because he knew Obama was the antichrist and that this meant he would get to see the 'End Times' and experience the Rapture firsthand. So I guess it wasn't all bad for them.

BryanH

A McCain version would've been better patterned after something like Bonk. He's a caveman, his powerups make him turn red/get angry, and he was on a platform that lost.

Jitawa

@Strife56: They were interviewing someone on the street about the election results and he said it felt like the 1960s all over again...like there was this really positive energy in the air.

dowingba

@Jitawa: You do realize that the PC Engine was a winning format, right?

For that matter, did you knew that it were also on the Super Famicom and Game Boy, as well?

McCain getting angry... That's a tad unfair. I suppose you'd want the Republicans to point out the Clinton tirades, or maybe even the Joe Biden "Steam Machine", or even the Jeremiah Wright Power-up, but there would be no point to that, now would there?

How... Interesting.

Soldier_CLE scratches himself, seems pleased.

@omicron1: In a few states, I look at it as an exchange of sorts, with some getting what they wanted, and others not.

Prop 8 in California is a classic example of this. For a pro-Democrat state, it got it's Obama vote, and Definition of Marriage advocates got to defend the meaning of the definition, and what it means to them to keep it opposite sex.

In Ohio, Democrats wanted Casinos, and it got shot down pretty hard, though it also got it's Obama vote, as well.

But there are several places that kind of had tit-for-tat. But in almost every election, no voter will get everything they wanted.

Soldier_CLE scratches himself, seems pleased.

@Soldier_CLE scratches himself, seems pleased.:

The platform lost in America, winning in Japan isn't particularly relevant to American presidential candidates.

I agree though, it is a tad unfair, but the spirit of these sorts of games is playing to stereotypes.

At this point, the election stereotypes serve more to amuse than anything else, as McCain showed us when he sent up himself on SNL. Neither of the candidates are as bad or holy as their proponents/detractors may have made them out to be. The race is over now.

Jitawa

Please stop with political articles.

@BryanH: I think that it's understandable that some people are worried. People were worried when Bush won the office a second time.

Now, though, what I think is really scary is just how much power the Dems have, with overwhelming majorities in the Executive AND Legislative branches. Soon that will extend into the judicial branch too, basically defeating the purpose of checks and balances.

Democrats may love it now, but in 4 or 8 years when people are clamoring for change again, we'll just smack the other rail again, and end up overwhelmingly Republican. This situation is not good for anybody.

People do take it too far though: the world is not going to explode in January when Obama takes office.

@kojirodensetsu: It's a gaming article, that happens to deal with Politics. Get over it.

Vindicoth

@em: Fairness Doctrine for one, reducing our freedom of speech, and the right to spend my money as i see fit because we know he is going to raise taxes.

I'm a Libertarian, I think that people should be able to do whatever they GOD DAMN well please and not be harassed by the gov't.

*Sigh* south east Alaska aint that snowy... its more rain than anything else...

@kojirodensetsu: I'm with you, I can't wait until the novelty wears off so we can get back into games.
