A pointless intersection between PC games and politics
It’s election day here in the United States, which is Kind Of A Big Deal. I don’t want to get too political on a gaming site (though if you search my personal blog carefully, you can discover my political leanings), so instead I’ll divert your attention to something political yet completely nonsensical:
The presidential and vice presidential candidates have officially been released by Maxis as space ship designs for Spore. Apparently some enterprising individual at Maxis figured out that the space ship editor was flexible enough to render human shapes, and from there made the natural leap to re-creating the candidates.
Just don’t make the mistake of choosing John McCain as your space ship; the left blinker gets stuck in the on position on journeys clear across the galaxy.

Also, reliability is a big concern for the McOldsmobile. Even if you baby them they’re likely to drop a transmission on you. The steering is very stiff and unforgiving, their failure rates are sky high, and you’re likely to find yourself behind the wheel of a Palindrone replacement. They may look nice, but they have a reputation for sputtering nonstop when it’s least appropriate, and they only wind up making you look like a douche.
Pun’d!
