We often discuss the power of video games for change, for education, for enlightenment. How fitting then that the New York Post, a bastion of sophisticated and incisive political editorial, has created a video game as commentary on the Democratic race for Presidential nominee.

Hate Hillary? Want to beat down Barack? Whichever your pleasure, this NYP game lets you play as your candidate of choice and pound the opposition's face in by clicking your mouse a million times until you win. And yeah, that's pretty much the extent of it.

Ian Bogost is rolling in his grave. Oh, wait, he's not dead yet, though I'll bet this game will make him want to drive rusty nails into his eyeballs.

I really dislike PowerPoint, so I appreciated this 'game pitch' that's poking fun at games, PowerPoint, and the industry at large:

A key part of the development process, I am told, is pitching your game ideas to studios and publishers. After some practice, I believe I am starting to get good at this. For instance, I know that if you want to be taken seriously as a professional, you need to use something called "Powerpoint". In fact, I have been writing all my game proposals in Powerpoint and I am starting to see a marked improvement in the quality of my ideas.

It's funny (I laughed — a lot) and worth a couple of minutes of your time.

Great production values + obscure video game references + man-boobs means that it's time for Street Fighter: The Later Years - Part 9. The final chapter has Ryu and E. Honda fighting as well as those slapstick gags that you've come to love. Those of you that are working today be aware that there's the bonus of a hairy man-ass.
