Drunken Government Minister: The Game
Liveware have put out a new cell phone game making fun of the drunken (seeming) peccadilloes of a certain minister who learned that cold medicines don’t go so well with a teeny bit of wine. Just a sip even. Honest. Look I don’t have a problem, I just like a drink every now and then.
The goal is to try to keep Nakagawa awake during the press conference by “poking” him with the 5 key at the right timing so that he doesn’t miss any of the reporters’ questions. If he does, you lose. His approval ratings are displayed in big white print at the top of the screen–I don’t think they ever get super high, but the idea is to try to keep it from falling to zero. [via Tokyomango]
It’s kind of a metaphor for Japanese politics in general too…
