Water Cooler Games
Water Cooler Games served as the web's primary forum for "videogames with an agenda" — coverage of the uses of video games in advertising, politics, education, and other everyday activities, outside the sphere of entertainment.

The site was maintained at watercoolergames.org from 2003-2009, where it was edited by myself and Gonzalo Frasca. It is now archived here in full.

Clinton on the SNS

(via AvantGaming) Well, the game never made it to the shelves, but it would have been cool to play with Clinton's cat. Apparently, the game was not approved because of Nintendo's anti-political policies, which is quite a shame. I hope they changed their minds because I have this fantastic idea for a game about Dick Cheney's pet. The pet in question goes on a rampage bombing Falluja, while children die and lose their limbs. Still not sure if I would launch it on the Gamecube or the DS. It would be a hell of a game! And over 50% of Americans would buy it! Just think of the profits it would generate!

I could see a Barney the Dog game, where you have to get away from your coked-up owner, his Stepford wife and the liberally soused Bush twins.

On the other hand, I think a game with a cyborg Cheney might be interesting. Maybe like the Intellivision classic Microcosm, but here you have to keep his cold, cold robotic heart pumping.
