Wow, he like the Venture Bros.? He can't POSSIBLY be a bad guy. It's just been proven. With SCIENCE.

How cool is that? When he's done drafting a new bill, he can pwn all of his critics in a round of CoD4. Nice.

Hopefully, he's one of the very few political figures that's able set a good example for the country. If he gets caught bangin' hookers or smokin' crack, he should be forced to change his name to "N00b-bait" and be publicly pwned.

Damn, I wish politicians near me were as awesome as that. Good for him.

That is pretty cool. I wish I could meet some great politicians like this.

And you are SURE this is legit? Not someone dressing up as this guy, so to speak?

Um... he didn't buy his XBox with government funds to serve as a back up media server for the office, did he?

Perhaps we can start deciding debates via deathmatch.

I have already theorised that in the future our wars will be fought in halo and CoD matches in a huge convention centre, gamers will become the new soldiers and we won't have any victims of war any more!

How come you don't have Halo on your played games Dennis? I was surpised to see someone without Halo on their list of games. :O

Anyway that's pretty cool. I haven't played Xbawkz in awhile (SSBB addiction) so I haven't seen that.

One of us! One of us! We accept him, one of us!

Why do you link to the Economist? I expected awesome Guy Fawkes Maskism.

It's good that Thompson is busy annoying Take Two and EA or he'd be petitioning for a removal of Ansinn

Wow, that's pretty awesome :).

Some good news from my home state!

@borocouncilman

Thats good to know. It is really cool how gamers are starting to take office and moving up in politics and the rest of the world.

Well, score another one for Pennsylvania (at least the little towns nobody's every heard of...). We may have issues like everybody else (but wierder), but boy, we have some nice dichotomies.

Gamer leaders--good leaders, too, which is rare enough on its own--contrasted against really backwards legislation, I'd say we come out at least even on the "good" uniqueness versus the "bad". As long as you don't live in an actual city.

Maybe we're coming out ahead, with this revelation.

@StealthKnight

Google? Just saying.
It's all visible online, and he does a good job in Doylestown, but I suppose whether or not you agree with his choices making him a "good counselman" (?) is up to you.

GP: "...litte towns nobody's ever heard of?"  ...oh, Coravin - how could you?  LOL... actually, Doylestown is pretty well known, relative to towns of its size (10K pop.). It is the Bucks County seat, Bucks County being a pretty affluent suburb just north of Philadelphia. It's also going to be a battleground in the coming primary and general election, I can tell ya... I'm expecting some candidate visits. Obama already has an office here.

The town itself is known for stately 19th Century buildings, gourmet restaurants, its music scene, nightlife, and a whole bunch of historical & cultural attractions. In fact, GP & the beautiful Mrs. GP moved here to enjoy what the town has to offer. D-town is very well known to the NYC types as well, some of whom live here & make the long commute every day.

But... I am clearly biased. In a good way...

Best game of all time: RACING DESCRUCTION SET??? Oh man I thought I was the only person who remembered that gem!

I wish they'd remake it for the 360 arcade, that would be the best! Make up your own weird & warped tracks & then challenge random people to race on them. I'd definitely pay 800 points for that baby.

Borocouncilman, can you use your awesome political power to order Microsoft to remake it?

Well damn, my sis HAS been wanting me to move up to Penn. This seems like a sign! *laughs*

@GP:

Well I very rarely say this but: W00t!

The guy has 4 times my gamerscore, thats some damned good PR

Ooh, any chance of a screenshot of the new look?
