Obama got Witcher 2 collector's edition as a gift from Polish officials.

[Azahiel]

President Obama left today after his two-day visit to Poland.
Of course it's customary to give eachother gifts. The gifts from Polish officials were as follows:

an iPad with some Polish movies and clips
the broken pen that refused to work when Obama was signing the official guestbook. (good sense of humor imho)
a set of Sapkowski's books with the author's signature (he wrote "The Witcher" books)

...and...as the subject says:

The Witcher 2 Collector's Edition.


Now I kinda expected something cliche like some regional crafts or something...but this surprised me in a very positive way

"My fellow Americans, I plan to lead this country into a new age of prosperity... as soon as i finish this quest"


In all seriousness a gaming president would be interesting to have.

Wow thats got to be the best gift ever given to any president ever...... A broken pen.
Oh yes i guess if he played xbox he would enjoy witcher (Or whatever console its on) but a broken pen seems a bit of a joke.

Well more and more people are into games, just remember next time you're playing online you could be playing with a suspected murderer or a world leader. Don't know why this is surprising but then again there was an urgent news update last Wednesday showing Obama going into a cafe so apparently everything that happens to him is newsworthy... (either that or the BBC had a slow news day)

Bah, I bet he's too pussy to get through the prologue.

Looking forward to his review

So is he enough of a hardcore RPG nut to handle it?

It's not out for any consoles. It's a PC game through and through.

 

[SammiYin]

Poor guy. Not the best example of the communities abilities.

 

[Akihiko]

Well, there is talk of it coming to consoles.

I think it's a damn fine gift. I really like the Collectors Edition. It's just a shame my sculpture was broken on arrival. Fortunately CDP have said they'll replace it.

 

[Tartarga]

I hope that becomes standard practice. Like he goes to Japan and they give him a copy of Yakuza 3.

Actually the pen was intended as a joke. So...yea...

 

[Kathinka]

really? the president of america? the witcher 2? the mainstream game with the most tits imaginable packed into it to the leader of the most prude and backwards nation of the modern world?

really?

That's a bit silly.
I love the game, but I don't think it's a suitable gift for someone who isn't known for being a PC gamer.

an iPad with some Polish movies and clips

Lol, I'm sure Obama doesn't have an iPad /sarcasm.

 

[FugitiveZero]

Looking forward to his review

Bullshit. I've played Counter Strike with him a couple of years ago. He's an excellent sniper.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I bet you he'll hold it out at arms length, declare "WHAT IS THIS!?", and give it to his kids or something.
