Miami lawyer Jack Thompson will donate $10,000 to charity if any video game company creates and sells a game based on his proposal. A proposal in which a father goes on a violent rampage after his son is killed by a video game playing teen. Meanwhile, real gamers have donated over half a million dollars in cash and toys to children's hospitals.

No I'm not one to normally bitch about double posts, but take a look about 10 or so links below this fpp... can't even blame the search for that one!

I think it is pretty interesting that that threads were constructed in close to the same way and that the first two links were identical.

$10,000 to charity? Now, if they were to pay $10,000 to me I woudl write the game for him.
Of course, it would be a 2-d overhead shooter, and probably pretty lame, but it would exist.

Yeah, would an adventure game in BASIC count if I began selling it on the Web?

Oh the hypocrisy...
Can't Thompson just masturbate while imagining it's happening? It'd be a lot less expensive for him.
Anyway, the douchebag should have a look at Postal 2, that scenario kinda happens in it. Of course I don't expect the bastard to actually pay up or anything.

Ha, thanks, I clicked that and was trying to figure out if my brain had been too brutalized by videogames to figure out the similarities.

To me RPGers are real gamers.

But donating to charity is nice.
