Fun with The Political Machine 2012

If you don’t already have The Political Machine 2012, then don’t get it for yourself. Think of the children.  I’ve been campaigning across this great land of ours telling anyone who will listen about the great issues of our times:

1. ATM fees (the devil)

2. Reality TV shows (too many)

3. And tax cuts for me. (and only me)

If you’re into modding, you can make any issues you want and have them be as important or trivial as you’d like.  In a recent update, we added Romney’s tax returns, Chick-fil-a and “You didn’t build that”.   But there’s nothing stopping players from going in and doing their own.

It’s tough to go on The O’Malley Factor. But, as you know, I am a hero. Courage is my middle name.

I am in favor of good things and I oppose bad things. Tiny little flags for all.

There are a few other updates in the works for the game between now and election to help keep things hopping and up to date.  In the meantime, if you manage to beat the AI I wrote, then hop online for some multiplayer action.

I personally enjoy that you don't actually have a stance on an issue in the game, you build up a reputation of having a stance on an issue and that's all that matters.

Perception is reality.

Reality is reality.  For example, people perceived the Earth was flat.  The circumnavigator wasn't coming back.  Then he did, from the other direction.  The world didn't suddenly become spherical.  There is a truth to everything.  Sometimes it's unclear or confused, or someone is unable to find it, but it's there. 

 

But I agree, that to one person, perception tends to become their reality... not in truth, but to them, they can become entrenched in the perception.

That picture with California looks like there is a guy in a top hat making sweet butt love to George Lucas.

Frogboy says he is in favor of good things, but 15 years ago in congress he voted against good things that had bad thing earmarks. Can you really trust Frogboy?
