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)
Correct
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
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

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
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.
What’s NCAA like vs Madden?
I haven’t played the most recent one, or madden for that matter, so this based on experience from about 15-20 years ago but I’m sure it’ll be mostly the same. First and foremost, there are some rule differences. Second, there are different strategies, formations, and plays. Third, you have different players with greater diversity in talent level. Fourth, the teams are different, which might mean more to some than others. And finally, the commentators are different, the last time, they had the cat known for whistling, which was funny. I can’t remember his name.
I bought the most recent CFB, I was both excited for the season and intrigued since it had been 15ish years. It is really polished and cool for what it is, but I forgot I hated it back in day and still hate it now. But it was really well done
Which edition of Madden are we up to now? Like 57?
No, because we’re not in the year 2056 (sports gsmes tend to have the next year in the title, like cars).
A handful of small executive yachts worth of kids are judging by the numbers.
Aged boomers who are regressing to an unempathetic childlike state.
Although a good chunk of them act like it, Boomers aren’t actually kids.
It’s just outreach. May be corny, but they’re intentionally getting outside their comfort zone to reach more people.
Both Walz and aoc play video games already.
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
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.
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

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.
Too sticky. I hear you. Could have hit them. But I think it would bring up way too many political arguments on Twitch.
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.
Bernie and AOC have me scratching my head in confusion more often lately.
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
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.
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.
Which year? Because the extremely subtle differences between versions make all the difference
94 on the Genesis
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.
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.

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 :)
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!
Fuck, play some Clock Tower, tis Halloween afterall.
Or hell, play Resident Evil and do commentary talking about how it’s not only based on the works of George Romero, but also pretty dang based considering the moral of the story is “American Pharmaceutical Companies are literally evil and responsible for mass death”
AOC did among us during the previous election
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.
Loser suit Larry seems more musky.
A bunch of horribly aged sex comedies full of misogynistic “jokes”, blatant homohpboia, and various pop-culture references that you’d have to have been born in the 70’s to have a chance of getting?
Sounds like his kinda game being a washed-up divorced dad living in the past who’s children and ex-wife want nothing to do with him.
Seriously, I own the series, bought it in a bundle for Steam and I’ve tried playing them. I love old adventure games, especially comedies like Monkey Island and I heard so many good things about it from my dad and the laughs he had from LSL when he was a dumb kid fresh out of high school.
…and I nearly died of anti-lulz trying to play these things.
I love a good raunchy comedy, for fuck’s sake, my favorite Boomer Shooter is Duke Nukem 3D… but LSL has aged about as well as Larry himself has been implied to.
I’m too young to even know what a leisure suit is, and I’m in my god damn 30’s.
It would be funny if one of them started cheating
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. 🤣
Not my game of choice, but as an elderly gamer, this works for me.
John Madden
Wallz by 21
That’s pretty rad.
