 "Man requests U.S President to ban Skyrim")
In what can be described as either a practical joke. or a sad attempt to garner a bit of attention for himself, a man from Tennessee has requested the President of the United States to ban The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim all over the country. It seems if you’re a resident of America and are over the age of 13 you can kick off a petition for anything under the sun on the White House’s official website. Here’s his :
Can’t touch this
We, the American people, today ask you,
1) To enact an immediate ban on the videogame known as “SkyRim” produced by Blizzard Entertainment.
2) To seize and destroy all copies already in public hands and erase its presence on the internet.
3) To prosecute the players of “SkyRim” to the fullest extent of the law.
4) To create a national database of videogame avatars and “screen names” so that teenagers can be better monitored.
Damn, considering I’m already 70 hours in, I’ll probably be a felon in this dude’s eyes. Also Blizzard Entertainment? How tough is it to get your facts right? Thanks to Kotaku for the heads up.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
