Obama as you've never seen him before, an Aion character

We're generally apolitical in terms of our content here at Massively, but this is something worthy of note: Obama in the fantasy MMO Aion: The Tower of Eternity? (We're sure this unscheduled appearance will come as a surprise to the President, himself.)
NCsoft really didn't have this in mind when creating the game's lore, but some rather inventive beta testers have created something which show off just how good Aion's character creation is. The end result is a player-created video that depicts Obama in ways his publicity people never anticipated, as an Elyos 'kicking ass' and saving trees on the road to ascension as a Daeva... Yes, this may piss off a few people -- namely the POTUS -- but it's all in good fun. Check out the YouTube embed below the cut in high quality.

This is something made by a player, not by the company itself. Just want to make this clear.

O yea... forgot to say...
Worship Lord Barack Hussein Obama... He is your new messiah... worship your lord! HOPE CHANGE.. CHANGE HOPE...
Remember, ever since he took office the DOW has gone down about 3,000 points... everytime he makes a speach, it goes down even more... This president is an epic failure already and he has only been there for 2 months... FAIL

Dude seriously why do you think its going down....hmmm who was the last president George Bush Perhaps? How did we make our economy so shitty? George Bush perhaps? Don't even say its Obama's faul because he is the one trying to fix the economy after Bush made it pretty much fucked.

Way to turn something light and fun into a stupid, pointless argument over politics.
*sigh*

Ha, American fundies are such a laugh. Here is a funny player created video and the nutters have come out of the woodwork to bring real world politics into it.
Jerk.

That video was just plain wierd. The game looks pretty stupid too what with its overdone melodramatic mid-flight battles.
