The Many Games of Jack Thompson

Didn't think this should go on the front page, but perhaps the gaming forum ...

**********

Two interesting bits of Jack Thompson news: First, and most exciting, is the fact that the webmasters at Grandma Hardcore have answered Thompson’s insane call for a video game that allows you to go on a killing spree in a video game store. They are awaiting his check to the charity group.

Zork Thompson v1.0 is a text adventure with a click interface that has you taking on the roll of a man whose son was killed by one of those crazy video game players. Check out the site where you can read the script for the game or play it. You also can “buy” the game through a PayPal donation, meeting Thompson’s final criteria I believe.

As of Sunday night, the GH crew had been unable to hunt up Thompson to let him know which charity they want the money donated to. I suggest Child’s Play, Penny Arcade’s annual fundraiser which has raised millions. Of course, it will feel like a drop in the bucket to them, but every little bit helps, especially when it comes out of the sweaty pockets of a weasel.

On the other side of the coin Defamation of Character: A Jack Thompson Murder Simulator is a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mod that allows you to take on the gaming industry as a psycho, Manchurian Candidate version of the lawyer.

The guy is a maniac. I'll also put in the Penny Arcade one, once their site is fixed. There's also an email log that Scott of VGcats had.

Talk about stubborn and ignorance put together.
Btw, the links do have profanity.
