​

Perhaps one of the hardest secrets I've had to keep, Barack Fu was today announced to be coming as an expansion for the hit game Shaq Fu. This might not be as much of a surprise as the developers were hoping for, details of the game leaking via its PSN trophies, and later getting datamined by curious individuals. Despite this, much of the desired shock and disbelief for what is ultimately an absurd idea built on top of a game I still struggle to believe exists is flying around social media. You can check out the announcement trailer below.

​

Having had a hands-on experience with this content when I went to London last month, I can tell you it is the sole reason I bought the game's physical edition. This expansion is an entirely new adventure through the eyes of a parodied Barack Obama (sadly not the man himself) and I dare say its humour outshines that of Shaq Fu itself. At the event, each member of staff I asked told me their preference for this over the base game, and I'm honestly sad it took them this long to announce it. If you picked up the physical version, the content should be available today for free on each platform. The expansion will eventually release to digital owners as DLC at a later date, so be patient and you'll get your ex-POTUS action before you know it.

Trump Fu when

Trump doesn't exercise. Kung Fu would use up too much of his finite human battery. I wish I was being satirical and he didn't actually say this shit.

"Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy," writes Evan Osnos.

That's far from the first time we've heard that Trump and exercise aren't friends. This, from a February 6 article in Axios: "The only workout Trump gets is an occasional round of golf. Even then, he mostly travels by cart. On the campaign trail he viewed his rallies as his form of exercise."

In their revelatory book "Trump Revealed," the Washington Post's Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher wrote more extensively about Trump's "battery" theory of energy:

After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, "You are going to die young because of this."

They quote Axios and WaPo in that article as well, and it's not like it's the only article that comes up when you Google this. This was widely reported on last year. Trump himself has never denied it, and you never see him walk more than 500 feet without a golf cart. You don't just magically get that fat.

Hey kids, remember that dude who got the nobel peace prize for merely being elected president? Remember all his charm, wit, and sincerity? Well now he's got his own video game, and let me tell you...

IT'S HILARIOUS!!!

So you know, buy the game, warm up to him, tune into him on Netflix, and be sure not to think, not to question, and most importantly, to never doubt or read between the lines.

I seriously doubt Obama himself was involved in the making of this game, although that would be hilarious. And is he actually in anything on Netflix? I heard he helped write for Kimmy Schmidt I think, but that's about it.

Doubtful, but you never know. They have discovered since the days of Edward Bernays, that it really helps re-enforce public acceptance of a person if they are seen mingling with celebrities and associated with entertainment and "having a good ol' chuckle like you, I, and our fellow working class citizens" etc.

A video comes to mind for this release:



But hey, surely it can't be worse than the original Shaq-Fu game from the 1990s.

That'd be logical if he was still trying to get elected for anything, but I'm pretty sure he's just laughing through retirement while watching the country burn from our own stupid decisions.

Ideology, these people are obsessed with spreading ideology. Though I am certain he is glad to be done with that low paying job which seems to turn everyone gray in the end.

Surprising, but honestly Obama is a master of the internets. Case in point:

What's next, Hilary-Racing... no no no! Trump-Racing Transformed!

 

[wiewiec]

Maybe next DLC will be Trump's Arkanoid bonus game?

 

[Xzi]

What's next, Hilary-Racing... no no no! Trump-Racing Transformed!

Trump's "Luxury" Nascar Racing Transformed (With Trucks).

& Knuckles.

"Luxury" means gold spraypaint on everything.

 

[Captain_N]

It will be about Barack Benito Obama Tea Bagging all the conservatives. Then he will turn the country into a socialist state... The final boss is the one and only Donald Trump.

 

[DS1]

Drone strike is one of his attacks lol

amazing!!

 

[XDel]

First he furthered the Bush policies that he claimed to stand apposed to, then he stood as the first president to spend both of his entire terms engaged in international/corprate warfare; and he ain't done kicking ass yet!

The peace prize? His fist up your ass!

Well his reasons for being obese are the really ridiculous part, not the fact that he is obese. That's not exactly uncommon in America.

Yeah probably. But the chins are more funny to point out imo.
