    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: 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.

    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: 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.

    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.

    @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.

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


    Sitting here doing nothing? Not that much fun.


    Pretty cute, though.

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