Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land If President Obama’s rhetorical flogging of video games has you in high dudgeon, the ECA’s built a form letter enabing you to point out to the White House how “video games can empower and educate.”
No, not Vladimir Putin, but Elena Vladimirovna Putin — think Putin if he was a girl with white hair, red eyes and a shapely figure.
President Obama again referred to video games as a family-life negative in his Father’s Day message. But Peter Moore – grabbing for publicity – challenges him to drop the rhetoric and see what they offer.
Bowser recently went into town to speak his mind about the dangers of unchecked power in the executive branch. Funny that a monarch would feel that way, but it’s a free country, brah. More pics on the jump.

And I guess those are combine soldiers in the back beating up on something as these two talk, too.
