Fun times! Our government as a rel time video game? I just saw it on the news and it is really weird.

There certainly seems to be enough wheeling and dealing going on in politics for it to make a good video game, perhaps some sort of strange RTS or MMoRPG. Is this about an actual game game that is in production and if so, do you recall the tittle?

It's a lot like Grand Theft Auto, Bully, and Mario Kart, with the crime, personal attacks, and spectacular crashes.

the 10th mission, where you have to break the kneecaps of three former Speakers of the House is a real pain...

Darn it! My Internet went down when I tried to find a link. It is actual footage of Congresspeople, and they have these frightening semi lifelike avatars just sitting around talking. Let me see if I can find it. As I mentioned, I saw it on the news.
You know, maybe instead of taking a sick day, I could just teach my classes via avatar. I could be thin, I could be patient, and the kids would listen to me no less than usual.
Hmmm...

OK, I can find nothing! Did anyone else see this tonight?

Until I can find a link, please visualize CSpan with avatars of the boring senators. So, they are talking, but as video game characters. And not all the senators have avatars, so sometimes they are talking to no one.
