Post by: Darren Dirt on October 03, 2012, 12:06:15 PM
a mid-week laff for y'all.

With the first presidential debate just days away, Slate V is unveiling its latest campaign series. Political Kombat '12 recounts the story of the 2012 presidential race in a succession of animated video game fights.

Pretty much.

There is part of me that, much like listening to a shock jock radio dj, cannot wait to hear what absurdity Romney spews forth next.

You know what scares me? The last time there was an absurdity spewing candidate he was elected. Twice.

You mean you haven't seen these all over the web, it is yet another meme? Oddly enough the three eyed one is the one of the originals but not one I had seen before.

Fairy Bounce gif animation/Magical Drop 3 World's sprites (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fairy-bounce-gif-animationmagical-drop-3-worlds-sprites) Clicking view all images at the bottom will give you a screen full of variations, but some may be NSFW.

That Mitt Romney is such a slime bag. But, Obama is a moron. Fan-bloody-tastic (sarcasm).

yeah you'd think the bolded name above would be warning enough.

PS: do NOT watch the "After Hours" video series -- when they first started last year I linked to their first ep and it was pretty good... but HOLY CRAP it is CONSISTENTLY brilliant, amazingly written and performed and edited, it feels like watching a conversation of 4 young Robin Williams type of stream of consciousness pop culture dialog. Like Mamet combined with Whedon. All 4 are solid characters too.

the most recent one (playlist goes through previous ones after finished) http://www.cracked.com/video_18477_why-indiana-jones-secretly-sucks-at-his-job.html

It's actually a wider arc than that

Golden Age Animation -> Anime -> Retro Homage

Somewhere in all that mess is me
