Play online. Play against Amabo 007. Win against him. Receive an all-expense paid trip to the White House to meet your opponent, regardless where in the world you live. Your opponent is Barack Obama. Yes, that Barack Obama! Barack Obama, the President of the United States, is a voracious online gamer. He plays to relieve stress, and he plays right at his desk in the Oval Office. He doesn’t have time for MMORPG, but he’ll spend twenty minutes a few times a day to engage anonymous online players. “It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of gaming,” says the President. “I have authorized research into the intellectual development of gaming, and I can say with certainty this discipline increases intelligence. It’s how we train soldiers, and how we wage war in the future. That’s important to us as Americans.” “Video games are unlike any medium ever devised in history. They are not passive pleasures like TV and MP3s. Gaming takes skill. I want to encourage everybody everywhere to take part in gaming,” commands the President. “It will make for a better world.” Amabo 007 enjoys racing, sports, shooters, strategy, and puzzle games. He claims not to be very good at economic sims, and jokes that Bush didn’t leave him enough money to play war games. The President has been using the moniker Amabo 007 for years. The first part is his last name spelled backwards, followed by the number of his favorite secret agent, James Bond 007. Look for his name online and challenge him to a match. If you win, you’ll be his guest for a day, as long as you promise to show him your tricks. The President admits his favorite gaming site is Cheat Code Central. “I really need those codes once in a while,” he chuckles, “I can’t rely on the Secret Service to do everything for me. A big shout-out to my homies on Cheat CC: Dave, Lindsay, Matt, and of course, my favorite writer, Cole Smith. Even though he’s Canadian, he seems pretty smart.” |
