ADVENTURES OF LOVERMAN, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

[rone]

So, Joe Lieberman hates violent video games but is pro-Israel? An enterprising video game house should create "Settlers of the West Bank" and put him in a terrible moral dilemma.

Dude, please, not while I'm drinking my diet coke.

my achin' sinuses...

Diet Coke through the nose should help the sinuses. If it doesn't, I urge you to check out ronebofh's own nose lube recommendations (http://www.livejournal.com/users/huaman/6924.html).

HTH. HAND. He HGMTPO Chapstick, perhaps, but hey.

Or create "Mushrooms of the West Bank" and put him in an excellent morel dilemma.

Now that makes me think of "Super Moishe Brothers", stompin' on Palestoombas and gearing to defeat the evil King Yasser Arakoopa.

I'd play that

It's times like this that I'm glad that I didn't keep up with my computer-programming skills, or I'd feel compelled to whip something like this up.
(And get shot soon afterwards.)

Would it have "drive the tractor over the protestor" bonus levels?

To balance it out, though, I'd have to create a pro-Palestinian game -- a stealth game like Metal Gear Solid, perhaps, but one where the objective is to blow yourself up in the right place on each level.

I posted a more polished version to talk.bizarre that indeed mentions plowing over furrin activists.

I don't know about the pro-Palestinian game... blowing yourself up gets old, and in real life, they never do it in the right place. Maybe you can flee and join Hezbollah.

Well, that's the point -- in a game, you COULD do it in the right place. (Or be the mastermind directing others to the right places, which would make the game last longer.)

I smell an expansion pack for SimCity or The Sims. They can do anything ELSE as a Sims add-on pack and make it sell, so...

Due to Sen. Joseph Lieberman's seemingly contradictory views of being
pro-Israel but anti-video game violence, we at X Industries Game
Studios have reached a brilliant compromise and developed the smash
hit of the year:

SETTLERS OF THE WEST BANK

- Take over territory by illegally squatting on land!

- Defend your turf by various means, including bulldozing foreign activists!

- Watch out for suicide bombings!

- Shrug off international pressure to cut back on your settlements!

- Negotiate with your American benefactors for more money and weapons!

- Stir up trouble at the smallest indication of appeasement from the
government! And if peace seems imminent, assassinate your leaders!

Guaranteed to be at least 50 years of fun! In stores NOW!
