John McCain’s greatest challenge this election, in my opinion, will be to try and make himself appealing to younger voters. Consider the fact that your opponent is young enough to be your son and has full support of the youth demographic. McCain has a lot of work to do to make himself look ‘hip’ to our generation and not like some old creaky jalopy that will probably break if you drive it too long.

McCain has apparently heard the constant calls of “I need to be hip” and has decided to turn to the magic of Facebook. He has created an application called “Pork Invaders” whose premise is an obvious riff of “Space Invaders.” More information can be found here.

As a gamer, I have to admire his determination; Space Invaders is a time-tested classic, and considering the fact that it is currently a hot property, thanks to Tatio’s latest remake of the product.

However, speaking once again as a gamer, I also have to be disappointed in McCain as well, for thinking that he can appear hip by stealing concepts from game that was made in the 80s. It shows how out of touch he is with the youth demographic.

Oh well, at least he has some taste in modern games…as shown in this report.

Obama, to me, still is the more youth-centered candidate. Best of luck in the election Barack!
