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!
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.

Overcooked
Yes. Please. That game is actually fun too
Could you imagine if the presidential candidates and their VP pick had to play Overcooked together for a few hours?
It wouldn’t even have to be a competition on score. You could learn so much about them so fast - their communication, ability to adapt, and how they handle frustrations.
Geez man I’d rather be tasked with deciding whether to retaliate a possible nuclear strike. That sounds way less stressful.
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
Better be Madden ‘96
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.
Nah how about fuck off. 😊
I don’t want politicians on twitch or any where near games. Yall are toxic enough as it is. Leave my hobby alone. The one place I can go to escape your bullshit.
It’s pretty suspect that these totally understandable comments are getting obliterated with downvotes. Keeping American politics out of video games is a reasonable ask.
So just don’t watch then? It’s incredibly easy to just not participate.
Even easier than going on the internet to complain about it, in fact.
Totally. Not only will I not watch it but I will prefer if they fuck off.
You know what’s even easier? If they fuck off.
Hmm so let’s see. Me not watch, or they fuck off. Hard choice.
I know. They can fuck off AND I will not watch.
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
I’m fall 2020, I think I was in a game of LoL with AOC. She famously played Support, but I was paired up as a newbie support paired with an account AOC-ADC. I was not really good and died early. I asked the account if they really were AOC, and they told me to go vote!
She also accused me of intentionally dying, and I told her I wasn’t. I told her I was sorry that I was just bad. We ended up losing, mostly because of me.
So that’s my dumb AOC gaming story.
That’s straight up evil and will result in a shit load of insults against him.
I’d give Walz the edge, but EA never made Madden for the Dreamcast. 🤣
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 :)
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.
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.
Aren’t the dudebros in the biggest group of trump supporters? They should target them instead of preaching to the choir.
Wallz by 21
That’s pretty rad.
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!
Pokémon Go should make all polling locations a bonus Gym or whatever on voting day.
I dunno I don’t play it.
Which year? Because the extremely subtle differences between versions make all the difference
94 on the Genesis
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.
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
This is stupid. I didn’t vote for these two to play video games.
I’m betting you’ve never voted for either of these two.
As a Minnesotan, I have voted for Walz twice. I have even spoken to him directly.
did you point out that you only voted with the condition that he was never supposed to have fun? maybe he missed that.
No, we discussed public education.
There is a difference between him having fun and and a meaningless publicity stunt.
meaningless publicity stunt? you know he’s running for vice president, right? this is essentially a rally.
Yes I know he’s running for VP. Playing games on line is a publicity stunt and not a political rally. It’s a “Hey look at me! I’m cool because I streamed playing a video game to show how cool I am!” stunt.
It might impress small children, but not adults. Not that it matters much to me. I already voted for Harris/Walz based on platform NOT on a stupid streamed video game.
well you’re wrong on several accounts. this is just another platform to campaign on.
