It’s 2016. Donald Trump is the president. Kanye finally dropped an album. The Cubs won the world series. We, as a society, are witnessing the unfathomable before our eyes.

Ladies and gents, step right up. You’ve all been waiting for this one. As a follow up to my last article, Super Smash Bros. in the Black Community (a link to that article is at the bottom which may be helpful to read first if you’ve never heard of Super Smash Bros.), I’ve decided to expand on Smash Bros. and mix it in with a dash of politics, a smidgen more of humor, and a concise list of politicians to lighten up the mood as we head closer and closer to yet another historic Presidential election.
So if you’ve read my bio or just know me personally, I absolutely adore the party, fighting-game Super Smash Bros. So much so, that winning or losing in a game of four player free-for-all or one-on-one I will physically transform this angry, volatile beast that has me taking my shirt off and foaming at the mouth to play again and again and again. And if I can’t do that, I will train alone in my room for a few hours the next morning until my nails chip and the skin on my thumbs peel. Silently, I savor every moment.
Sounds unhealthy? You bet.
Not the first. Not the second. But the 7th generation is, in my opinion, the most unique console generation of all time. From 2005 to 2013, all 7th generation consoles have influenced gaming dramatically. Microsoft’s Xbox 360 proved that a strong online presence can foster a loyal gaming community.
