Okay, so, you keep in mind Halo and Future co-composer Marty O’Donnell, recognized for placing collectively the soundtracks to your childhood with the likes of Michael Salvatori? Properly, he’s now working for US congress in Nevada, with a marketing campaign website that appears like one thing a lovechild of Grasp Chief and Captain America would possibly seem behind.
To get them out of the way in which, listed below are the intense information. O’Donnell’s working for the Republican occasion. The place, you ask? It’s the third congressional district of Nevada, which is at present represented by Democrat Susie Lee, whom O’Donnell shall be battling for votes as soon as November rolls round.
If you need an concept of what sort of platform the ex-composer – who most lately soundtracked VR sport Golem after a fairly messy divorce from Bungie – is working on, the essay he’s written on Twitter with the intention to announce that he’s doing so doesn’t precisely depart a lot to the creativeness.
“I by no means needed to be a politician and I nonetheless don’t,” it begins, “I’ve had two profitable careers and have began a couple of small companies. I’ve additionally labored for some large firms. I used to be able to retire and spend extra time with my household – which I’ve executed for the previous [three] years. I feel they’re prepared for me to search out one thing else to do.”
So, ostensibly – it will appear – as a result of his of us are sick of him moaning that there’s nothing on telly, O’Donnell’s determined to attempt to repair America by, amongst different issues, (checks notes) tightening up border safety and pushing conventional household values as a cure-all for society’s ills. Hey, no less than his marketing campaign web site has some footage of house on it.
Sure, as a result of parody is useless, the ex-Bungie composer’s precise marketing campaign web site seems like a foremost menu design that in all probability wouldn’t fairly make it into Halo or Future, primarily as a result of it seems an excessive amount of like one thing a Helldivers 2 roleplayer would possibly submit mockingly. It’s a combo of shifting photographs of constellations with comparable colors to these used because the background to Skyrim’s talent bushes, a font straight out of Starship Troopers, and a pink and blue color scheme that’d make Homelander blush, and it’s hooked up to a severe political candidate.
A real ‘graphic design is my ardour’ second.
It’s virtually goofy sufficient to distract you from the actual fact O’Donnell seems to have determined to make use of “Marty’s Military” because the title for his supporters, which undoubtedly doesn’t arguably sound a bit too militant for this type of factor. All I’m saying is, I feel if Emperor Palpatine would possibly take a look at one thing and say it’s a bit too on the nostril to make use of in a rustic that had its Capitol constructing attacked by the supporters of a defeated political candidate only a few years in the past, you could wish to rethink it.
We’ll have see how O’Donnell’s said mission to “convey again sanity and civility to the general public discourse” on the problems affecting American life goes.
