This year's US presidential election has, as ever, brought a hitherto-unknown degree of scrutiny to certain of its key players. One person who seems to have come out of it fairly well is the Democratic nomination for vice president, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, whose biography is basically a folksy paean to public service, on top of which he comes across as an actual human being rather than an Onion character.
One standout discovery among the deep-dives into Walz's past is that the man has great taste in consoles, and was particularly attached to the Sega Dreamcast: to the extent his wife apparently took to hiding it from him. And lo the internet delivered, with one Resetera user turning out to have acquired the very console in question after it was handed down by Walz, and recalling the machine came with a copy of Crazy Taxi. IGN has a full rundown if you want to get into the weeds, but the short version is that the US now has a Veep nominee who knows all about making some kerrr-aazzzy money.
