Japanese hardware sales, Oct. 20 - Oct. 26: Endorsement edition


Dear readers, the time you've all been eagerly anticipating for months now is finally upon us. Like many honorable news publications have done before us, we're ready to announce who we've chosen to endorse in the upcoming election for the office of the President of the United States -- an endorsement so poignant, you may find yourself completely disregarding the sage advice of Powell and CheneyBakula and Sorbo.

The Joystiq staff has often found itself divided when forced to come to a consensus, such as our ranking of the ten best games of the year, or when choosing between the Ritz-Carlton Suite or the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa for the destination of our monthly company picnic. However, in this crucial moment in our nation's history, we found ourselves swiftly and unanimously agreeing upon which candidate could best guide us through the turmoils and tribulations America will face throughout the next four years; a candidate with policies so bold, conviction so strong and a presence so electrifying that his victory would ensure a safer, more prosperous America.

As you've likely already guessed, the candidate we're speaking of is none other than Lando Calrissian.

While rigid Constitutionalists may decry Calrissian for his seeming ineligibility for the role of Commander in Chief (a fair position, as he is not a U.S. citizen, nor is he an actual person), his service as a General in the Alliance Forces, as well as his administrative experience during his term as Baron-Administrator of Cloud City, have proven him to be the responsible choice on November 4. Change is coming, friends -- and it's wearing an outrageously fashionable gold-inlaid cape.
