Super Obama World - Election Day Time Waster
by Jay Hathaway Nov 4th 2008 at 3:00PM
If you loved the old Super Mario World, and you like Barack Obama, you'll love Super Obama World. It's exactly what it sounds like: an old-school style hop n' bop game, where you play as a Senator from the state of Illinois. Instead of little mushrooms with fangs, you bounce on pigs (maybe they're supposed to be pigs with lipstick?). Instead of Mario's coins, there are little American flags. Currently, you can play an ice level with a very interesting boss (hint: she can see Russia from her house). More levels are planned after the election, "including Arizona, Illinois, and D.C. levels. Just because the campaign is over doesn't mean the excitement has to be!" Whoever you plan to vote for, or regardless of whether you're even eligible to vote, this is a fun little platformer.
Editor's note: In an effort to be as
I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

Now find one with McCain so I can crush Obama's socialist ideas, big ears, and overall his horribleness.

Haha.. Your funny.
Let's wait until the results are in before we make any conclusions.

Stop whining, he won. You posted nothing to backup your arguments, either, and having big ears is not enough to make a bad President. Have fun following other people's footsteps the rest of your life like you obviously did in the Presidential election having nothing to back up your opinions. Someone else calls him socialist so you do, too.

Wow...That really shows your maturity level.
I didn't post any of my reasons for not liking Obama because I didn't want to turn this into a place to argue about politics. But since you apparently want to argue, I will argue back.
Your entitled to your opinions as I am to mine. If you don't like my opinions then ignore them. I don't care what you think, as you should not care about what I think. That is what makes them opinions
1. I wasn't saying that I he isn't going to make a bad president because of his ears. I was just having a little fun. I can have fun can't I?
2. I think you have something backwards there. If I didn't support him, doesn't that mean I don't follow the crowd. Doesn't that mean I have my own opinion, and I choose to follow what I believe, not the hype?
3. I called him a socialist way before anyone else did. I saw him for what he is and what he wants to do. Taxing the wealthy to give to the poor (AKA Spend on whatever they want) is a socialist idea. Many of his ideas are socialist. We are not a socialist county and socialism will not solve our problems. (These problems have been made by both parties.)
Stop and think before speaking. It is just like Democrats to speak whatever is on their mind without thinking.
Let's just hope that Congress and their little friend in the head position don't ruin this county. We have lost what makes this county great for at least the next two years. Republicans, essentially, don't have a say now in politics. Whatever the democratic congress wants will be passed without enough question to stop anything. Some of the worst laws in history will come out of this. I am not saying that if Republicans were in control now everything would be just peachy. Balance is needed in Congress and in the White House. Balance helped make this county what it is today.

It's a known fact, Flash games are totally in the tank for Obama.

Great idea, poorly executed. There's about a 4 pixel buffer around each of the sprites that counts as a collision, making this game all but impossible to play.
The irony is, I would expect a game about Obama to be more tolerant.
