Which candidate gets the World of Warcraft vote?

This being a technology-based blog, I usually steer away from politics. Too messy, and very passionate viewpoints from both sides. I wanted to pass on a great non-partisan video found today based around a machinma (or basically artistic gameplay) video done out of World of Warcraft, interviewing actual gamers on their political preferences in hopes of seeing which way Azeroth would go if they were included in the election. Great video, funny but also interesting to see the diverse views even of the gaming community. Video after the break.

For the readers who haven’t heard of World of Warcraft (and honestly, if you’re reading this blog I’m sure you know about it, if not already have a Level 70 Blood Elf with your flying mount), Azeroth is the name of the fantsay world that the game takes place in. With 11 million players on the books, Azeroth would actually be the 6th largest state in the country, though to be fair subscribers are worldwide. So, what do the residents of Azeroth have to say about the candidates?

Interesting comments from the gamers, it really shows that even in a virtual world people (or elves, dwarves, humans, or even orcs) will have widely divergent views. Still, I’m looking forward to Tuesday where, whatever the result, we can put this ugly election behind us and get behind whichever candidate makes it. Because after all, McCain or Obama, one of them will be our next President. So, most importantly, no matter your political affiliation, get out there Tuesday and vote.
