Just a Quick Reminder

Hey folks. Just a reminder that, if you live in the U.S., tomorrow is your chance to implement some change or put in your vote for the status quo (if you don't live in the U.S., I'm flattered you're reading this, and I'm really sorry...just be happy you don't live with the guy*) . I'm not long for promoting any one candidate, but I will say I'll be positively green with rage if you don't vote for someone. Yep. Positively. Green.

As a bit of an election day special, Jay Is Games has been running nothing but politically based games for the past couple of days. One such, September 12, a Toy World, is an interesting meditation on the nature of violence and terrorism. You're given a crosshairs and your objective is to shoot or not to shoot. If you shoot, you can aim for terrorists, but watch out to avoid civilians. What results should be reasonably obvious to anyone who's given a moment's thought on the question of why people become terrorists in the first place (hint: it's not just because they're a bunch of crazy people who don't value life the way we do).

So there you go. Now go out there and vote (tomorrow).
