THIS is how you do fellow kids
What kids are playing Madden, though?
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.
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.
People who lead boring normal lives.
Most people who own consoles I guess the
My friend groups are. And the new NCAA game. Video Games and Football, there is truely no greater combination of american values
Sports games are one of the few genres that are couch competition friendly.
A handful of small executive yachts worth of kids are judging by the numbers.
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
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
AOC fell off. From among us to madden? Come on
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.
Trying to catch a crowd with the biggest net. Should have done super smash bros
Well that did it for me. I'm voting Harris!
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
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.
between this and WoW, are they going to stream any good games?
Would be fun if they streamed Civilization.
Walz: MY WORDS ARE BACKED WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Walz: Oh that is SO you Gandhi, you piece of shit!
Musk is streaming a full playthrough of the Leisure Suit Larry series.
Leisure suit larry is a good nickname for musk. Although it soils the leisure suit larry brand.
AOC did among us during the previous election
So they are both maddening?
rimshot
Thank you, I will be here all week
I respect the joke, but I simultaneously also respect whoever downvoted the comment nearly instantly :)
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
It just feels like they missed the opportunity of calling this the Dark Souls of Elections.
Pokemon Go to the polls!
Yeah, it's not my cup of tea either but there's a huge playerbase of guys who play the hell out of it. Pretty much the demographic they want to target. As much as I'd love to see them play something like Elden Ring or POE, I think that might miss their target lol.
It would be funny if one of them started cheating
how do you do, fellow kids?
They are both former gamers, this isn't Hillary pretending she is hip.
This is refreshingly wholesome for political news. No bullshit or partisan politics here, just people being human and enjoying some entertainment.
I'd give Walz the edge, but EA never made Madden for the Dreamcast. 🤣
So gimmicky. AOC is listening to DNC strategy morons way too much. This makes the party look even more out of touch, not more relatable. Same with the "X has a beer with "Y" articles. This is all Joe Biden/centrist reacharound logic.
Doesn't AOC do twitch anyways? This isn't her first time doing this.
