if you think about it, war is a lot like solitaire
you have to "play the cards that are dealt to you", for examplesometimes, the "hand that you are dealt" is just impossible to overcome, one could saykings and queens often play a role, as well as renegade "jacks" and "jokers"both are covered extensively in newspapersthe royal figures often look you in the eye and offer advice that only you can hearsuits are very importantcourage is also very importantalong with maintaining "a steady hand"
but they are also different in many ways. for example, wars often involve death

thoroughly annoyed that the coverage all seems to be of the "ancient ex-big shot makes pretty good video game!" stripe instead of "if you give this warmongering torturer a dime of your money you're an ignorant dick"

i've spent a long time waiting for a former vice-president to give his imprimatur to a video game version of an obscure version of a popular card game, so this is right up my alley

i don't think rumsfeld was ever a VP. the game was based on something Churchill invented, right? it's not so crazy (war criminals designing strategy games) and supposedly Diplomacy was JFK + Henry Kissinger's favorite game.

I really could give a shit less. The fact that every outlet is covering this in the same whitewashed tone as the WSJ piece, as if the motherfucker is just some funny old codger making videogames with his dictaphone, how cute, is nauseating. I'm sure 4,491 American families are just tickled. The lying piece of shit should be getting tarred and feathered but instead we just can't get over how innovative this card game is that he learned while he was a diplomat in the 1970s!
Oh wait Mordy's right anybody who gets their knickers in a twist about war criminals making games is a naif because JFK supposedly enjoyed the board game Diplomacy.
BTW I dunno what the work ethic was like for politicians in the late fifties but if dude had time to play Diplomacy then I guess all those stories about his way with the ladies really are just made up

I looked at some other SM64 A-press videos and according to commenters the current minimum for the whole game is 37 A-presses, 18 of which are on Tic-Toc Clock. I'm glad someone out there is doing this vital research.

of all the horrible shit rumsfeld is knee deep in, slumming it with video games is the least objectionable imo but vent your spleen. i'm just saying if you want to see what the thing is you don't have to support him in any way to do so.

i never really "get" those when they bother publishing ones where the person cottons on immediately that it's a dumb prank phone call and they're just legitimately annoyed at the repeat calls and stuff. i still giggled a few times, mind.
