Yes, I have a feeling the results will depend on it :p

I hope to do more giveaways in the future, in order to do that I will need to get positive feedback on these ones :-P
Rest assured, I already have the game purchased. & the other one is ending in just 3 days so you can find out then.

Positive feedback is almost guaranteed. Around here the larger problem will be that there is a risk of it ending up in the inventory of some random hoarder or somebody who will try to sell it. A month-long suspension is worth enough for many people to sell a new AAA game for 30-40 bucks.

I dunno. I've found a lot of people here to be pretty honest.

I'm open to learning more about Paul although I'm leaning more towards Ben Carson right now. Thanks for the giveaway :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the consideration. Carson and Paul are both surgeons, and they are similar on many issues.

Thanks again, Rand Paul. Good luck.

That's a whole new level for political campaigns :P

What, you mean political campaigns don't usually try to target gamers? Probably the biggest untapped demographic. They tend to be younger, and they don't vote as often. But if you could get a chunk of the CoD or WOW community behind a candidate to come out of the woodwork and actually vote? Those non-gamer politicians won't know what him em :-P
Comment has been collapsed.
Most of the gamers are either kids who cannot vote, or young adults in the low twenties who are almost surely already "doctrined" in one side of the politics. (Although strangely nowadays it seems the extreme right-wing is more suited for them, whereas a few decades ago young adults were mostly left-wing supporters… So in this sense you are probably preaching to the choir there. :))

Indoctrinated is the word you're looking for.

No worries. Thinking is hard in any language sometimes.

Google says the average age of gamers is 31, and that if you split up the gaming population into three age groups -- under 18, 18-36, and 36+ -- the 36+ group is the largest. It's a little older than I would have thought, but yes many gamers likely do not vote.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is that the one survey where they include all platforms, including granny playing Fruit Ninja on the phone? The last part about the 36+ segment would indicate so. Many people play games, but the majority still some casual or pre-installed titles on their phones or some Farmville knock-off browser game– the older demographic is especially prominent in the last segment.
If I go with the age of people I see on gaming sites and Twitch, the average is closer to 22-23, with a nice, large segment around 27 (where you have income to support a gaming hobby).

lol in a few more months i'll be in that damn 36+ group so watch your mouth there youngun :P

Not American, but I definitely appreciate the opportunity. Recently started going through Witcher 2 and so far it seems pretty cool, and I've heard nothing but amazing things about the third game.
Thanks for the opportunity. :3

Rand is a good candidate. However I'm Canadian and more of a Bernie guy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bernie and Rand are both anti-establishment candidates, but they are very different on economic issues. It seems to me they are both more honest than Bush and Clinton.
Comment has been collapsed.
AS non-American, I almost never heard about Rand Paul. However, he's probably better than the candidate we hear the most about, so I can only support him.

Thanks :-)

As a non-American, I don't care who will be president. As long as it's not this Trump guy.
Thanks for the giveaway!

As a European, Sanders should really be the only possible candidate, and even then, mhm... What do you like about Paul, if I may ask?
But thank you!

Different people like different things about Rand Paul. For me personally, I like that he is one of the only Republicans who favors a more measured approach to foreign policy instead of jumping headfirst into every civil war in the middle east. I also like that he is a loud voice for criminal justice reform, calling out the problems with our policing, and the failure of the "war on drugs" which has resulted in massive incarceration rates especially among the poor and minority groups. Rand Paul understands that the Republican party has a problem in that it is becoming an exclusive older, whiter party that is not sensitive to the concerns of other groups. And I like that he wants to put more power back at the state and local level instead of having the federal government dictate to all the states how they have to govern themselves.

Most of what you're saying seems to fit better with the Democrats though (I agree with your points about the war on drugs, foreign policy, and a justice system focused on justice and rehabilitation instead of vengeance). The GOP, by and large, supports tough on crime, is more warlike, and so on. It's socially conservative (up to the point of being bigoted) and economically extremely pro-corporations pro-hypercapitalism, with terrible results (I shudder to even imagine living in the USA). I'm not saying only the GOP is that, but, the GOP represents such viewpoints the best.

Can't stump the Trump :^)
Comment has been collapsed.
Donald Trump is an excellent showman and entertainer, but eventually the reality will catch up to him and he would get eaten alive in the general election if he were to be nominated. Trump is smarter than that -- he will bow out instead of blowing a small fortune on a presidential bid.
