He's at it again folks...

Well, Wacko Jacko (Jack Thompson) is back at his old tricks again.

He has proclaimed a challenge to all videogame companies, saying that he'll donate $10,000 to a charity if anyone creates a game based on his twisted premise. The game is about a father's fight against the videogame industry after his son is killed by a gamer.

For those who don't quite get it, let me repeat that.

The GAME is about a father's fight AGAINST the VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY after his son is killed by a GAMER!

1) Who the hell is going to honestly buy this game? Really?

2) What would be the point of spending millions of dollars on designing, creating, producing, and TRYING to sell a game for only $10,000 in donations. They might as well donate the money themselves and get it over with.

3) How stupid is he? This is another lackluster grab for attention, and it's only going to get the rest of the gamers pissed off. He couldn't just go away quietly, he had to drag the last bits of himself through the mud that is childish bickering.

If I owned a videogame company I'd totally make it, and end with the father realizing that the gamer didn't kill his son because he was a gamer, but because his son was killed because he fell into heroin abuse, and the gamer was also a drug dealer. The Father then has to conscript the help of OTHER gamers to help fight the evil drug lord. Let's call him Timmy. Timmy's a good name for a gamer/drug lord gone killer.

I'd also buy that game. Just because it'd be an incredible slap in the face to Thompson.

Anyone here know how to make games in flash? I see a great RPG in Krylo's post.

Yep. Once again, it is widely shown throughout the internet that Jack is a crackhead going in over his head.

Many of you have heard about his "modest proposal". Aside from that fact that this idea was born inside the mind of the anti-intelligence himself, a couple of things bugged me about this.

First of all, is it really "charity" if you're asking something in return? Why not just donate the money for the sake of helping other people, Jack? Why do you have to use it as a publicity stunt to try and keep yourself in the spotlight?

But what got me the most is that Jack knows nobody is going to take him up on his offer, and that fact means this whole thing is just a desparate cry for attention. I'll bet he's thinking that he's so damned clever for coming up with that well-planned jab at the video game industry, but the rest of us folk with a fully-functional brain just have to wonder... what the fuck? I've seen better insults made by kids with two brain-cells left after a whip-it* bender.

(*The act of huffing the compressed gas in a whipped cream can)

Ten-thousand dollars is a lot of money, and would really benefit some charities. But why would a video game company spend the millions of dollars it takes to design, develop, produce and market a video game, when they could just donate the ten grand themselves and be done with it? Why don't you offer something that would actually motivate these companies, such as offering to throw yourself off a cliff.

Anyway, for the record, I agree with keeping violent video games out of the hands of children under 18. Make it illegal for a minor to buy M-rated video games. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. However that is where the line is drawn.

I'm an adult, and if I want to play a video game that contains violence or sex, that's my constitutional right. And it's the right of the developers to create these games.

Don't start trying to fuck with the choices of adults, Jack, unless you're prepared to take on pornography, alcohol, cigarrettes and gambling. And booze, cigs and poker have been proven to have negative mental and physical effects on people. You can't say that about video games.

And pornography... well porn is just great. Everyone loves porn.

For some me-speaking-ness:

I'm not sure which will happen first; A gamer does what we all dream of and kills Jack Thompson with extreme prejudice, or his colleagues finally end up seeing that he's a fucking madman and puts him in a nice padded cell.

Just watch: When the game companies refuse, he'll say something like "HA! THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT'LL REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT GAMES!! THAT'S WHY YOU DRUG JUNKIES DESERVE TO BE BANNED!!1!1!11!!!"

when i first read his premise i was brought to the immediate glaring conclusion "this man is protesting the violence present in the gaming industry, BY CHALLENGING THE GAMING INDUSTRY TO PRODUCE VIOLENCE GINIUESSS!!!1�11"

my second thought was to make this the most violent disgusting game you could, have a guy who's motivated to destroy EA by going from office to office violating every female employee and then shooting them in the head. after having his first mission be poisoning the water supply by killing a couple hundred people. so you see, it's got sexual assault, AND necrophelia. and as the credits role, you can acredit this master piece of moral depravity to jack thompson, savior of the gaming industry.[/sarcasm]

The Father's son was actually murdered by Jack Thompson himself, to do his dirty work for him. He was already brain-washed by Thompson... all he needed was a excuse to get the plans into action. In the beginning, he almost kills a gamer, but stops and realizes that this was unreasonable and wrong and his son would have never wanted him to do that. Then, he got on to Thompson's trickery but he knows he couldn't do anything at all for revenge. Though the game, he needs to convice Scott, Brian, Tycho, Gabe, and Tim to bring down Jack Thompson from his corrupted seat and bring back common sense to the people. If done, the skies would turn back to blue, and all would be peaceful for earth.

I envision it more as an action/adventure game with AI help. Or, better, with the other gamers only really helping by gathering information, so they're completely non-violent.

Plus, it allows you to make the father more violent and insane.

True, I think a side-scrolling shooter would be a good genre for your game, Krylo.

Also, drugs would have to be used as power ups, just to get the message good and mixed.

Seriously, that would be the best thing ever. Can we get some people on that?

Ironically enough, we've started the Darwinian theory in my Bio class.

Well, I'm sorry Mr. Darwin. It would appear you're wrong.

Evolution missed Thompson.
