In other videos, DanielFromSL runs an obnoxious presidential campaign on a GTA V roleplaying server, tortures the poor players of Rust with fake NPCs, and drives the population of Second Life mad with his innocent pranks, such as playing dumb during a real estate deal.

I'm still convinced there's a greater game here with greater things to say if they'd been able to shove the stuff about the Illuminati (which always seems forced) off to the side, but what I've played counts as one of the best roleplaying experiences I've had from a new released in months.

How would he render, for the theater of the absurd, this bankrupt innkeeper who got a second chance by roleplaying his fictitious alter-ego on national television and then cashed in on his celebrity to take over the executive branch of the U.S government, as if that prize were some second-rate New York hotel?
