| agree with Thor. RPGs tend to be popular in the military. It fills long stretches of time, and employs strategy, planning and teamwork, all three skills that the military looks to cultivate. My complete lack of all three is what makes me such an intriguing player!
Ultimately, the post was on McCain’s blog. They weren’t comments by an anonymous user, it was a post. If McCain or his advisors didn’t approve of the content, it would have been edited. In the end, I’m an Obama supporter and a gamer, so maybe the attack isn’t so baseless after all.
Bob is right on the money about mudslinging though. It obviously happens on both sides, but that doesn’t justify it.

Bleh.
Lastly, Agricola sounds like a really cool game. I like open ended gameplay like that, and I’m a sucker for farming simulations. If I ever see you again, Bob, I’d like a demo. |
