Mark Warner Makes Campaign Stop in MMORPG
by midas
Here’s some MLP (Mindless Link Propogation) for you. Former governor Mark Warner and possible 2008 Presidential candidate made a campaign stop in Second Life, the MMORPG (massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game) which I know almost nothing about, but which always seems to have mildly famous people showing up in it.
This kind of blew my mind – it may blow yours when you see his absurd Avatar. Pictures Galore.
Is this bumping Howard Dean’s “successful” Internet campaign strategies up a notch? I think that the problem that these politicians fail to realize that for all the hype you build up on the Internet, people on the Internet simply don’t vote – especially not MMORPG people. Besides, half the time when the Internet loves you, they really think you are stupid and they are just being trolls.
Remember: the Internet never laughs with you. At. Always at.
I mean I vote.
Also, I feel like the *idea* of Second Life is better than the actual concept. I don’t know anyone who actually plays that game. So it seems to get a lot of press because it is neat, but no one really plays it.
Now if he showed up in Halo2 or WoW, now *that* would be something.
And by “actual concept” I meant “execution.”
yes, but you can’t just show up in those games. He would have to be good at them for anyone to care that he was there.
DID ANYONE LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOTS.
Yeah man he is a sexy beast in the MACHINE.
I mean people play it, but then again, “people” use ICQ and beat black and white. I don’t know those people, but i’m sure they’re out there.
