A good friend of mine has designed an online game to blow away political lies and expose the underlying truth (if any, or at all.) It’s basically like Space Invaders, called Truth Invaders.

I asked a Moderator if I could mention it here, and since the SDMB does like to promote creative etc etc, I did get permission to provide the link: [www.truthinvaders.com](http://www.truthinvaders.com)

The game designer says: “If you like the game, please spread the word. Either way, please spread the truth.”

I went there yesterday. It’s just too slow. I pick an obvious falsehood and it takes me three goes to blast it before I get confirmation of what I already know.

I either need some great bonus points for being able to pick the truth or a _really_ satisfying kaboom.

Aren’t they all supposed to be lies? Cheers to the more impressive kaboom, though.
