This was, of course, inevitable. After children’s books, songs by would-be “political” rappers (and friends!) and face-lifts for outdated American currency, it was only a matter of time before President-Elect Obama dipped his toe in the 16-bit pool. Enter “Super Obama World,” a platforming adventure starring everyone’s favorite 44th President of the United States. As in its predecessors, “Super Mario World” and “SMW 2: Clinton’s Island”,” the controls are relatively simple: run right, run left, jump. (Like Mario, Obama’s got ups.) Easy to play but hard to put down, this just-released game will quickly become your favorite antidote to workday depression.
Here’s Nintendo’s description:
Use your keyboard to navigate our hero through a bleak Alaskan snowscape, dodging rogue wardrobe racks and lipstick-smeared pigs as you make your way to Wasilla and a showdown with Governor Sarah Palin. Bowser? He was a lamb compared to this fresh-faced mother of five. Can she be stopped? Armed with slick black duds and Zen-like calm, become Super Obama and save our country today*!
* Nintendo does not guarantee that America will be saved by Super Obama today. Or tomorrow.
(Editor’s Note: Now you know where I was these past two weeks!)
OBAMANIA UPDATE:
… Because nothing says “change” like a classic winter cap emblazoned with a miscolored Fruit Loop. Thanks, Joe Biden!

Oh this is great. (The game, not the hat, which is a little frightening). Alas, the IT department here at work blocks me from actually accessing game sites. (Damn them!) But will check it out from home later.

I’m sure our local newspaper isn’t the only one carrying occasional letters to the editor from disgruntled wingers, demanding to see all the so-called “change” which Obama kept promising during the campaign. “Nothing’s different!” they say. This will all probably escalate to a dull roar by Jan. 20, and attain stupefying volume by sometime around, oh, 5pm on Jan. 21.

Bastards. You should totally quit your job. Bonus: unemployed, you’ll be able to join me as I march on Washington to demand Change in the event it has not been achieved by Groundhog Day. Like most people, I expect Jan. 21st (or 24th, I’m patient) to be the end of international economic woes, terrorism, and the educational achievement gap. I mean he did PROMISE it.
