The game, "Presidential Paintball," features six candidates in the crosshairs: Barack Obama; Hillary Clinton; John Edwards; Mitt Romney; John McCain; and Rudy Giuliani (it seems the game was developed before the ascension of by Mike Huckabee).

Oh, I had some interesting bots in my old Quake 3 Arena install. Stuff that probably get me in lotsa trouble now. And would probably make the writer of TFA melt down in a puddle of YOU MUST BE A TERRIST and BAAAAWWWWWWW!!!

Of course, you have to use paintballs and not "real" guns, cuz that would just be too politically incorrect.

More likely they thought it might avoid a confrontation with the Secret Service.

Chose McCain. So happy my first opponent was Hillary Clinton. Felt so good shooting her (with paintballs). Thought the Romney fight started out badly with McCain spawning right infront of a armed and ready Romney who was shooting me before I finished materializing in the room. Still won. 13000.

I support anything that puts static in the ether for the NSA computers...

Which reminds me of a joke:

Osama bin Laden goes into a bar and says to the bartender "Hey, do you know where I can get some nuclear weapons or weaponized anthrax to assassinate the president with?" The bartender looks at him and says...

Uh, well I forget the punchline, but it is hilarious.

Awww, nuts. My McCain surrendered to one of the Commiecrats and was taken POW. He then started spewing a bunch of the enemy's propaganda. Then the media showed up and startedd calling him a war hero.

Oh, and commenting on the paintball game screen cap; why does Hilary hate African-American children?

I love the alarmist, exaggerated, oh noes! the childrens! tone of the article followed with "Click here to play!" I'm surprised the evil video games bandwagon can still move, so many people have jumped on it.

Saw that game months ago on one of those flash game sites (can't remember which one)

It wasn't very interesting then either.
