Polish Prime Minister Gives Obama Witcher 2
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
At the beginning i was thinking like 'Go Team Poland' as it was fun, interesting and original at the same time... but then i reminded my self that i read Witcher saga few years back and i reminded my self all the sex/written pornography in the book and face palmed my self hoping that Obama will just put it on his shelf and leave it to dust 
mac man? oxymoron xp jk hahaOnyx Oblivion said:

Here's the fixed version. Don't worry though, Polish grammar is really difficult, and no translator is able to fully grasp it
OT: I love this news. Tusk receives a lot of criticism since his party won the election, but I still like this guy, and I'm still going to vote for him next year (if only for the fact, that every other political party in Poland is even worse IMO). And Witcher 2 as a gift? Awesome. At least it's a quality product. Obama probably won't play it, and even if, the difficulty may kill him, but still, this is awesome.
We've had films for the the past century aswell, so your whole "welcome to the future" argument doesn't work.Harrowdown said:
And no matter how often people cry about gaming being a respectable hobby, it's never going to be taken seriously, just like "watching films all day" isn't a hobby, nor is playing with action figures. On top of that, the first Witcher was the worst example of games becoming more "mature". If the second is anything like that, which the reviews suggest it is, giving it to another world leader is just stupid. Utterly fucking stupid.
If his PC can't run it, he can just ask NASA if he can borrow their supercomputers.Onyx Oblivion said:
I actually think this is a brilliant idea.
If you think about it, a lot of very talented people from many different fields invested many hours into creating this game. It took a lot of technical expertise, creative ability and financial backing.
And it was all done by a Polish company that now gets a lot of international praise and recognition for said product.
It´s something you can genuinly be proud of, so why not use it as a gift ?
That it is a video game is actually of no importance whatsoever.

Considering what happens in that game regarding politics I think it'd be safer to give him Yakuza 4- wait, no, that one has similar issues. Erm... Yakuza 2?bleachigo10 said:
Ah fuck it. Give him Of the End just to be safe.
OT: This is so cool I can't even begin to say how cool it is, despite just doing so. Polish dude's all, "Guess what the sexiest RPG this side of Skyrim is." And Obama's like, "I don't know. What is it?" And then he hands him the game and goes, "It's yours."
OH SNAP!
But seriously, it's nice to see an international meeting go off without a faux pas.

It's easy to miss if you don't know, but that is the author of The Witcher.
Most people don't really pay attention to what the diplomats give each other, they only time it comes is if the gift is awesome or unique. We(e.f. nerd) are exploding this story because it shows government recognition of our hobby.
Weather or not Obama plays the game, it is certainly very great to see that Poland, with a few other countries, has recognized that games are as much a medium of artistic and perhaps cultural expression as novels.
Another great leap for games since the British Prime Minister praised Batman Arkham Asylum.
