Just filled with buckets and buckets of satire! “2011 Obama’s Coup Fails is an action packed, satire-filled war game that takes place in the not-so-distant future. Right after the November 2010 election, to be precise. It has been said that America would never be destroyed by a foreign power. It does seem our biggest enemies are not from outside our borders. Could the scenario described above ever really happen? If current events keep transpiring as they are, then 2011 Obama’s Coup may in fact become a dark chapter in American History.” MORE »

Not only did thousands of you people play the EcoDrivingUSA car game challenge/lightning round, but you won, and you saved the world — one car’s worth, anyway! — and most importantly you savagely trounced Power Line. Good jerb! [Best EcoDriving Skills]

Some stoners were playing this video game called Burnout Paradise (of course), and they noticed a funny billboard in the video game. Yes, that’s your Barack Obama, telling the Xbox crowd about how people sometimes vote, for candidates, in these things called elections. But there is no way to actually vote within the video game, YET. Maybe next time! [Jalopnik]

John McCain’s web site features a challenging video game called “Pork Invaders,” which is designed to illustrate how he will balance the $900 trillion budget deficit by cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks and “waste.” And because he is John McCain, he will use War to veto these earmarks. See for yourself in the game — you, President McCain, “fire a veto” with the spacebar at little piggie space monsters to prevent them from shitting firecrackers on your subprime mud huts. [John McCain]

Barack Obama *thinks* that the new video game Grand Theft Auto IV is “raising our kids,” along with “video culture.” Look pal. Your Wonkette bought that gun game the other day and was IDed at Best Buy, because you have to be a million years old to buy it. So you obviously have no idea what you are talking about since the correct phraseology would’ve been, “Best Buy is raising our kids — to have no fun.” Elitist. [YouTube]

Hey look, it’s Ron Paul fighting Hitler and somehow winning. Last time I checked, Hitler had a lot more political success than Paul, but I guess that’s TBD, right? Paul will get his chance to be the next Hitler when his blimp project crashes and burns too — because yes, it took off this morning! More to come on that. [YouTube]

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) has punished his poor interns by forcing them to put together a terrible flash video game in which you choose your own “CARRIED INTEREST ADVENTURE.” Private Equity is at risk and only you can save it! There’s a “deep throat” in a parking garage warning about how Nancy Pelosi is attacking our pension funds from her invisible Wonder Woman plane and the villain is Charlie Rangel or something and really it’s too utterly insane to even mock. Go play it!

Hey, remember when the TSA discovered people traveling with cheese and wires and declared it to be signs of terrorist dry runs? But then it turns out that they weren’t? Well, now we’re going to make extra sure that they aren’t. Gaming nerds will think twice before they bring their precious Nintendo Wiis and XBox 360s and PlayStation Whatevers onto airplanes in their carry-on bags, because now they’re going to have to fish them out and put them on the conveyor belt at the security checkpoint, just like you have to do with your laptop!
