It has been a long and hard election season, I normally haven't cared this much about politics until this time around.
So with Trump as (I still have a hard time thinking this is real) the president-elect, my friends and I all half-joke that the Trump-pocalypse is coming.
But even more importantly...have our video games prepared us enough for this, have we learned a bit at all from our beloved games?
These are my top three games I think of:
1) Don't Starve:
As far as survival skills, we can look to games like Don't Starve...minus the handy magic machine that helps us along making materials. I'm pretty sure we will still have our technology still. But hey, we can make fire, learn to harvest food and build our nifty homes. And instead of creepy monsters...we have politicians who can be just as scary.
2) Fallout 4:
Maybe Fallout is the best example because you are living in a post-apocalyptic world. Everyone prepare your pip boys and drink your Nuka-Cola to help you survive the brand new world...
3) Bioshock Infinite:
Hell, we can look at Bioshock Infinite as an example to maybe not make a floating city in the sky that is corrupt as all hell but look nice from afar...wait I might be seeing some parallels here without the floating city aspect. Let's just leave out the robots of old presidents as patrols, okay?
These three examples may not be the best, but they are a handful of games that I think of when it comes down to survival, post-apocalyptic worlds, and worlds that had a revolution in them.
Whatever happens in the future, we can always turn to our beloved video games as a distraction. If you have any of your own personal top three games to survive, let me know in the comments!
