How long till world leaders (aka prez/PM) are playing video games during office?

[Poomanchu745]

As cool as it would be, hopefully they wouldn't be playing video games when they have a nation to govern.

Ya but leaders already play golf, go swimming, horse back riding, etc in their off time. So instead of doing those things why not relax and have fun by playing video games?

Wow... just imagine them playing a game like Portal and getting addicted...

"Mr. President! The enemy has launched their missiles on New York! They've declared way on us and are already beginning an invasion!"
"...I can't stop now! I have to finish this level first!"

...Am I a bad person if I find that funny...?

Everyone would shit Bricks if Barack Obama suddenly logged onto MW2.

Spoiler: Already happened.

Haha, awesome. That's just awesome.

But is it real?

Pretty sure that's just a guy using soundbytes. If it were real, you'd hear about it, and Barack wouldn't repeat himself so much.

In 100 years, world leaders will be remote controlling mindless soldiers on the battlefield, for shits and giggles.

Obama seems like the type that would play a Civilizations game.

...without ever attacking anyone.

Yeah, he's in it for the Developement not the Conquest.

Question is why world leaders would bother with videogames when they get to play games with our lives every day?

Vladimir Putin has "gamer" written all over him.

Obama has already said he loves Portal and can't wait for the sequel.
