I didn't so much want to poke fun at Game Informer (I enjoy their magazine, especially their own satirical pieces written by Darth Clark), as much as I wanted to use their game reviews as an avenue for what I did want to make fun of - the rivalry between political parties. It something I watch happen around me on a fairly regular basis, and I must say I'm confused. Why do we fight about each other instead of about the issues we disagree on? Why can't I have an opinion on political topic that is typically a Republican stance, and then have an opinion on another political topic that is typically Democrat stance, without being pegged as an indecisive independent?
When I hear one party talking about the other, I don't hear a tone of disagreement. I hear a tone that varies from dislike to true hatred. It's as if politics suddenly make us forget all our shared ground. Makes us forget the truth that deep down we all (for the most part) want the same things - we just have different opinions on how we should go about getting them.
Maybe we really do need a game that allows us to kill each other in virtual reality. Might release some of the steam.
