If anyone has any doubts, and actually cares, feel free to send the YouTube account this video is hosted on (username is wizardmon5), and I will let you know, via that, that it's me.
Also, as someone said, that 30-second time limit is a bit irritating. My original take was one minute and twenty seconds, in which I quoted the judge (where he said the evidence against video games was lacking), but I had to cut that, among other things, out of the final take.
In any case, thanks for whatever compliments I recieved here.
And if anyone thinks I should revise the video (keeping in mind I only have thirty seconds), let me know and I'd be happy to re-submit an altered version. I'll check back here for replies.
I only have one thing to say about that:
DO IT.
I want to hear a question from GamerDad, and i want to see him wear a tie!
On a side note heres the question I plan to ask....
Hi my name is (to be revealed) and I work in the field of Subtance Abuse Recovery.
And my name is (to be reavealed) , I'm a substitue teacher with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. We both reside in (to be revealed) , CA.
Many unnesscery video game bills across America have been shot down by the judcial system. So far America's tax payers have dished out $(millions) in legal fees for bills deemed unconstitutional. If elected President what will you do to prevent such trivial events in Judcial system from occuring?
Of course I expect an equally frivolous answer about bipartisanship or "working smarter" or something, but that's normal.
I just did a quick addition of what costs I could find through a rather un-thorough search of the GP archives, and it totals around $1.3million.
The breakdown is as follows -
Illinois - c. $1m for both industry reimbursement and state legal fees
Michigan - $182,349 in industry reimbursement alone
Louisiana - $92,000 in industry reimbursement alone
And that's without the California law getting tacked on there, and with two of those states just showing the reimbursement fees and not their own. I'd assume that the state legal fees would follow the Illinois example and be right around equal to the industry costs, so its probably closer to $1.5-1.6m without Cali in the mix.
It needs bit of refinement. PHOENIXZERO above said it already, change time to tax payer dollars, and like Jack above asked, find out the exact dollar amount or get a really good estimate.
Are you allowed to submit more than one or revise the one you've submitted?
Do you know the total exactly we've wasted in America? I'm just curious because I'm considering making a video as well.
"Turtle Jumped On At Zoo, Mario To Blame"
I love that headline. :)
I also agree. We need a second page, as there are going to be a lot of submissions. You can't deny the power of the free t-shirt. ;)
Unfortunately, I don't see CNN taking any of these questions as they're likely to go with some bad/stupid softball questions like they did for the democrats or probably worse since there's such "love" for Republicans outside Fox News the stupidity of the questions asked in previous Q&As.
I can't bring myself to call these or any of these things "debates" seeing as candidates not only get a lot of time to prepare, they don't even really debate anything.
As a side-note, I have the poster right behind his head. Matrix Reloaded, great movie, best car scene in history ever.
