Civ IV Mentioned in US House

[Lord Avalon]

Saw this on the Daily Show last night.
Player Haters
US House reps taking the time to bash video games. But wait! Some do play certain video games.

Joe Barton, R Texas, confesses he is also a video game player. "I have worked my way up to Civilization IV. I haven't yet been able to beat it, but I at least understand the fundamentals of it."

[Arrian]

Republicans can't even play Civ well! Ha! Republicans suck. FACT!

[Japher]

Hey! I do not suck! I haven't even played Civ4 yet so how could I suck?!

[Arrian]

You're a Republican, Japher? Damn.

Civ4 is good, man.

-Arrian

[Sava]

I'm the authority on sucking and I can safely say that you suck, Japher.

[Garth Vader]

Games like Civ 4 require resource management and strategic thinking, so Republicans would have problems with them.

[Japher]

Then it's official!

Yes, but it's a "Four X" game. The last two are eXploitation and eXtermination. So Republicans should be good at it!

Perhaps they should make it mandatory that only those who play Civ IV and are able to beat it can become congressmen

I have never been able to play Motherload videos for some reason.

ACK!

Donegeal's team 1, Arrian's team 0. As I recall, Donny, your team included one Master Zen. Surely he cancels out your Republicaness and then some!

Touche, nonetheless.

Seeing how most people at this place are complete geeks without any understanding of matters social, the beating of a strategy game might be an ability totally unrelated to the prerequisites for being productive as a politician, or for being successful in any part of the so called real life. Talk about arrogance of the inferior.
