During a recent joint Twitch stream with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz showcased his gaming roots by playing Crazy Taxi—his beloved Dreamcast game. Despite being out of practice, Walz demonstrated a nostalgic connection to gaming, much like AOC, who often shares her gaming experiences on social media. This reappearance not only underlines his gaming interests but also humanizes him in the eyes of younger voters who relate to these pastimes.
In a delightful turn for gaming enthusiasts, a modified version of Crazy Taxi featuring Tim Walz as a playable character was created by developer Edward La Barbera. The mod, released in September, included Walz's likeness and memorable quotes from his campaign trail, allowing players to enjoy a unique fusion of politics and gaming. With Vice President Kamala Harris also available as a character, this initiative creatively merges the world of video games with contemporary political culture.
