Latest Debate Videos Challenge GOP Candidates on Wasteful Game Laws

August 17, 2007

Longtime GamePolitics reader and ECA member Jeff McHale (you may know him better as the1jeffy) has turned in his video for the upcoming CNN/YouTube Republican Presidential Debate.

There's also a nicely done (but very brief)

Halo Machinima

XD as the second one is talking a worthog is in the background firing the gattling gun.
Only 1 comment? Come on people, at least you could tell me how bad you think it is!

Anyway, the ECA sent me t-shirts already! Talk about quick shipment.

I got an email from the YouTube debate mods, telling me to include my name, location in the description to ensure a chance at being included. I've done so. Good luck to everyone else who submitted a video, I hope one of us gets included on TV!

@ the1jeffy

I have not been able to watch the videos yet as I am at work. I did however get the same e-mail.

I have noticed that the interest of the GP readers are waning in regards to these videos. The last set only got a handful of comments.
good job Jeffy. Awesome Moogle in the background. where'd you find it?
jeffs one was really good. great question.
I'm very tired of seeing these halo videos. I'd hope they don't have a chance because I doubt a candidate would take it seriously. Hell I can't even take them seriously.
When is the youtube debate?
Dexee,

It was from an import website, I got it for my wife's b-day about 2 years ago, so it's tough to recall.

E.Z.K.

Yeah, I guess after the initial slew of videos, interest has slipped. Too bad, because I feel that this is a great opportunity for us.
Someone feel free to use this arguement, I'm in the UK so its not really appropriate for me to make a video;

point of sale legislation to prevent children playing violent games is pointless, the ERSB is there to inform parents of the content within games which cannot be accessed instore, a watchful parent can prevent a child ever viewing this content in their household. Why should the industry, retailers and the ERSB be blamed for parents failing to use the system that is in place?
Excellent video jeffy. The cuecards are very jon stewart-esque. They make poignant statements (and directed discussion) that need not be said aloud. Each sentence was a .270 bullet pint. It really drove it home.

and shameless promotion is awesome, go ECA and GP!
As I mentioned in the forums, I think Jeff's is pretty fab.

The Halo one... well... it makes me angry. That's all I'm going to say.
yeah..as interesting of a method it is, it and others like it look a bit unprofessional in an area where we are trying to be taken seriously.
@ Jeff McHale

Thank you for making one of the only videos that appears informed, well-thought out, and professional in its composition. Your video should be chosen!

DarkSaber: And then to top it off, I found a way roundthe wibbly-wobblies of death, got the shiny things and got my face eaten by a weird tentacle-faced radioactive cthulhu bloodsucker mutant of death. And hadn't saved. This is the sort of game that says "checkpoint

DarkSaber: Journal notes from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. #1: No matter how shiny the things on the other side appear, the wibbly-wobbly things in front of them are invariably fatal. Interesting, but fatal.

JDKJ: And I'm wondering what the "I graduated high school 4 years ago" part has to do with anything. Did your high school diploma have an expiration date stamped on it which has now passed? Like a gallon of milk that's been in the fridge too long?

JDKJ: . . . and the health services industry is not only one of the few industries currently hiring, but they're also paying real good money. Not bad at all for a low-cost, two-year investment. But, again, the choice is yours.

JDKJ: And if there's a local community college nearby you, I'll bet that tuition's dirt cheap. Even if you have to take out loans, it can't be all that bad. And many community colleges offer two-year degrees in health services-related fields . . .
Posted 11/21/09 at 04:09pm
JDKJ: @taco: That's your choice. And not to say it's a bad choice, but there is the downside of you not being very employable without a college education. Not to say that a college degree guarantees you'll get a job. But it can help and usually never hurts.

magic_taco: I graduated HS 4 years ago,And i'd rather not borrow money and end up paying it back in the future.
Posted 11/21/09 at 03:17pm
JDKJ: @taco: The job thing I can understand. It's tough times out there. But why can't you still do the college thing? Grants and loans and work/study. That's how most folks do it.
Posted 11/21/09 at 03:11pm
magic_taco: Im just bothered i cant find a job or be able to enroll into a college no thanks to a tanking economy.

ZippyDSMlee: JD:damn beat me to it :P
Posted 11/21/09 at 02:40pm
JDKJ: Both. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
