"...lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors."
The sad part of this, is, its in my state. Nice to see my hard earned tax dollars going to waste. The bill will fail on the grounds of constitional rules. Since by defination, every one of these violent video games, is political. Every one of them is a form of artistic expression. Every one of these, takes ALOT of coding.....there's quite a bit of scientific value in this.
After all, violence tells a story. Doesnt have to be a good one. The opening scene to the movie Saving Private Ryan, is/was the most gory 20 minutes of violence. And every second, tells the story. Braveheart, is another excellent film that is very gory.
But games, are pretty gory, even though they tell a story. But instead of us as the viewing audience, we take the role of the hero(ine).
The whole Tom Clancy series of Rainbow Six: RS1, Raven Shield, Vegas 1 & 2, Ghost Recon 1 & 2, GRAW 1 & 2, Sum of all Fears. Each of those are pretty violent....but they have a great story, alot of art, and a fair degree to create them.
Still, time to write my congressmen....Kennedy and Kerry....

Posted 07/20/08 at 01:47pm Silencets: I might miss JT when he's disbarred.....nah I won't
Posted 07/20/08 at 11:45am PHOENIXZERO: I wonder how many times Jack has seen The Dark Knight so far....
Posted 07/19/08 at 11:32am Rodrigo Ybáñez García: Don´t you think that maybe Fat Princess will generate a lot of controversy?
Posted 07/19/08 at 08:46am Paul T. Farinelli: To say that he did say it seriously, considering all of the rhetoric that he's spewed before.
Posted 07/19/08 at 08:45am Paul T. Farinelli: Apparently it was a joke on JT's part. He acts as though we all should've realized that, but it's not to big of a stretch
Posted 07/19/08 at 07:14am LuNaTiC: JT was not loved as a child. What jack ass forgot to pull out when creating this abomination??
Posted 07/18/08 at 10:32pm Paul T. Farinelli: Seriously, i haven't been so awe-struck by someone's sheer audacity in...ever!
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:45pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : And I can take "No" for an answer.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:45pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : JT is such a tool. He thinks he can have his way just because he's a Christian. Listen up, Jackie-boy, I'm a Christian, too.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:09pm Paul T. Farinelli: Also, I must say that Jack honestly looks like a serial killer in that pic. (not saying he is one, just that he looks creepy)
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:08pm Paul T. Farinelli: Jace was apparently polite.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:07pm Paul T. Farinelli: I agree, it just seems like pure insanity that Jack would seriously say that to the man's face during an interview, one in which
Posted 07/18/08 at 07:48pm Jack Wessels: If not then... Damn...
Posted 07/18/08 at 07:48pm Jack Wessels: Hey Dennis, I know you can't share the videos JT sent you, but was there perhaps even a slight amount of sarcasm in his replies?
Posted 07/18/08 at 06:21pm tallimar: ... news story so much as a punch line.
Posted 07/18/08 at 06:21pm tallimar: breaking story: JT hates on game dev, news at 11... id find that interesting to watch only to the point that JT isnt a ...
Posted 07/18/08 at 02:50pm BlackIce: I absolutely refuse to read about that Wanker Cameron
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:52pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : BTW, anyone see the new JT story Dennis put up?
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:51pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : IDK about that, Grizzam. Who knows if it did or not?
