I would think Jack Thompson was behind this if he were smart enough to understand printing or subtlety for that matter.

And a psp is one of the many inanimate objects that are smarter than Bush. And with games like loco roco and every extend extra coming out, it'll soon be far more entertaining than Bush too. Politician Bush not woman's bush; I mean... come on.
I won't miss that guy when he's gone but he sure does make us laugh.
Love the monkey-face picture they used. How could that guy of all people NOT believe in evolution.

There are allot easier ways to get a free psp by the way. I thought signing up for "e-fax" was a commitment commitment. In all fairness, efax didn't offer me an associates.

That kid is stoned. Isn't that a bowl in his hand?

I'm definitely getting this one for the Wii. You'll see me in my robes weilding around the wiimote like a want.
EXPELLIARMUS!!!

I had no idea. When/where's the next one?
It's not really surprising. Both games and drugs can be used to escape reality. And let's face it, some games (especially Rez [and anything else by Q], Ribbit King, Katamari, Loco Roco, and most of the other games I own) are enhanced quite a bit by a few puffs off a blunt or a little shroomage but once you're using stuff all the time just so you can play longer without sleep, you need a little help with substance abuse and game addiction or you just really need a good night's rest.
That and how the hell do you play games on acid? Does that work? Last time I saw someone try that, he went running out into the night only to be found the next morning several miles down the road trying to shave with the dreamcast pad he ran off with while wondering why the broken piece of glass he found and was using as a mirror wasn't working. As we dragged him back to our friend's house, he kept shouting like an auctioneer into the dreamcast microphone trying to sell an imaginary audience articles of clothing he kept trying to relieve himself of. He has flashbacks every time he sees footage of Seaman or even a whole fish now. He's become a vegan and a priest since then, mostly just because it's too painful to go into that section of the supermarket. To be fair, he thought we were joking when we showed him the acid, stuffed a whole sheet of it in his mouth and said: "very funnyguys, give me some paper and tell me it's drugs. What am I supposed to see things?"

Don't do drugs kids. As they said on South Park, there's a time and a place for everything, and that's college. Another bit of advise, try hanging out with a cokehead before trying it. That's the best deterrent. And just don't do meth, that stuff is horrable; worse than dust.

I got my satchle packed, here I go; Fear & Loathing in Quakecon.

Anything's better than Spiderman 2 the movie. What a waste.
And once you thought it couldn't get more monotonus, he loses his powers. Yea that made for an exciting film.
They should've called it Spider-sense and Sensability.

I haven't seen Lords of Dogstown but I'm sure it's not worth $26. Can't say I'd pay $20 for ATV either.

I can definitely see that.

Aside from their games business Sony has really gone downhill ever since the walkman lost it's trendyness. It was great when it offered cheap electronics at a cheap price but now they just sell cheap electronics that's way overpriced. The PS2 is definitely the best valued product they have right now and that's one of the reasons I groaned loudly when they said the PS3 would replace the home computer and not just be a game system.
Sony computers suck and Sony game systems rock.

Well... I would probably be a wimp if I didn't practice martial arts.
Games are a fun hobby, but if that's all you do, you are kind of gyping yourself.
This guy does make an point that I've made many times: people like games (especially violent ones)because it offers a convenient and immediate escape. They allow us to vent our frustrations and stress in a world made for that.
If people like Jack Thompson and Joe Pitts spent more time actually trying to improve the real problems in society, less people would want to play the especially violent games.

Of course they aren't going to do that because it's allot easier to complain about something out of your controll than to actually do something usefull.

They're just lazy lunatics.

Can't wait, but yea. Why does Nintendo avoid this franchise? All they have is that crappy DS Burnout which was such a disappointment but gave me hope that future Burnout games would come out on Nintendo machines.

Lack of Burnout was what steered me away from the Gamecube as my primary console of choice.
Sure it has racing games; every system has great racing games but Burnout was the first (and still one of the only) that makes crashing part of the game. I feel sorry for anyone who can't appreciate that. Maybe you just have to be a New Yorker (from LA or Boston could count too) to fully appreciate the traffic attack, road rage, and my favorite crash junctions.

I'm definitely still getting a Wii but I will be very disappointed (but not surprised) if no burnout games come out for it. I guess I'll be getting a 360 after all.

I don't care how badly they downplay their product. I don't even care if they don't run any commercials. I'm still buying this thing and I'm still going to call it a revolution damn it.

"Maybe they just care more about the kids than joystiq seems to."

You think these morons care about kids? These self important twits who crusade against games don't care about kids at all. They only care about voting parents. In fact they seem to really resent children. For years and years they've been trying to get games (including D&D), music (like hip hop, heavy metal, rock & roll, and even jazz back in the day), and even books (and I don't just mean comics; classics like Catcher in the Rye have been burned on occasion by morons claiming to protect children) away from kids with one hand and jerking themselves with the other. If they really want to appear to care about kids they would try (with the other hand) to give kids something useful: like universal health care, an education that isn't preparing them for disappearing industrial era work but the information age we're in now, or how about some responsibilities and constructive things to do if you don't want them to play.
