between this and WoW, are they going to stream any good games?
Ugh, sportsball? That's not gonna get gamers. That's gonna get dudebros that would have bullied nerds in the 1980s but now play competitive BS video games.
Aren't the dudebros in the biggest group of trump supporters? They should target them instead of preaching to the choir.
It’s still a video game.
It might be one of the lamer segments of the gaming market, since the games are basically the same each year, but with updated stats.
Personally, they should go retro with some short order(NES powerpad, basically a memory game, styled as a short order cook making giant burgers.), or maybe some n64 Mariocart. I bet Walz can hit all the RR shortcuts.
Is DDR old enough to be retro now? That could be fun, too.
It would be funny if one of them started cheating
Can we have a real talk?
I want them see how well they work together in extremely stressful situations... Get Kamala, Walz, AoC, and maybe uh, Sanders playing HELLDIVERS II!
Overcooked
Geez man I'd rather be tasked with deciding whether to retaliate a possible nuclear strike. That sounds way less stressful.
Yes. Please. That game is actually fun too
Make them play Chained Together
God no. That game is horrible. Me and my friend started getting angry at each other after trying to climb that starting tower
I do not recommend . We don't want one of them to quit their job
I played it with 4 people and we got really far. You just have to learn to communicate.
Omg that would be great. Like maximum everything too...
Sanders turns out to have no idea how to play a shooter game and the next day every news outlet reports that he defected to the communist automatons
This I might actually care about and watch.
John Madden
THIS is how you do fellow kids
What kids are playing Madden, though?
Which edition of Madden are we up to now? Like 57?
Hundreds of thousands of people.
The fact of the matter is that casual gamers and console owners overlap with Facebook and all generic social media.
We know that we only Lemmy are small, so we should try to keep in mind that our understandings and opinions of generic things in the world are the uncommon ones. Madden sells. FIFA sells. Call of Duty sells. Grand Theft Auto sells. Trying to criticize these outside of Lemmy will only result in losing even more faith in the general public, if that was even possible.
Lots of normies (assuming American normies love Madden as much as European normies love fifa)
My normie friend buys it every year, and acknowledges he paid for an updated sport wiafu roster.
We just say Gaifu now.
Way easier than guessing the spelling of husbando.
People who lead boring normal lives.
Most people who own consoles I guess the
The what? THE WHAT???
The poor son of a gun! They never got a chance to finish their
All these unfinished comments are going to drive me to
Goddammit Candleja
Scream.
Hey! I own consoles and the only sports game I’ve purchased in 20 years was the new CFB game, and immediately remembered why I don’t buy sports games unless Mario is involved
AOC fell off. From among us to madden? Come on
Trying to catch a crowd with the biggest net. Should have done super smash bros
If they're trying to win over young male Trump voters, they should be playing CoD.
Next thing you know she'll be playing Elden Ring like a fucking poser while using a cheese build like some communist normie.
Nah, I need that real gamer shit. If she doesn't have a Steam account with 60 games completed, 120 played and 400 unplayed with 1000 hours on Terraria and Stardew Valley each, then is she really a gamer, or is she just some fucking millennial just like I am wait...
Only 1000? Newbie numbers right there.
I want Walz under a real stress test. Set this man up on a ranked league of legends match and in a discord group with his team of randos.
"do you think your mother's would still love you if they knew how bad you were at this game?" - Walz
That's straight up evil and will result in a shit load of insults against him.
Well that did it for me. I'm voting Harris!
Madden though?...
It's probably the game that has the most disaffected centrists playing it.
Plus then it's a nice tie in to Walz's coaching background for that group
Are there any crazy glitches/exploits one can do in a modern Madden game that would be akin to taking shots from that one specific spot in Double Dribble where it's 100% guaranteed to go in?
I wanna see one of them just gobsmack the other with that kinda play. lol
So they are both maddening?

Thank you, I will be here all week
