Basically some modder created created a school shooting mod for Half Life 2 and Jacky boy here is threatening Valve. Here is the link to the story http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/pc/news/jack-thompson-emerges-from-hiding-to-threaten-valve-over-school-shooting-mod/a-20110318143944575095/g-2006032219817514003
Jack Thompson is at it again
EDIT: Holy shit, that mod looks...BAAAAAAAAAAAD.
The thing is, a video game that realistically portrays a school shooting isn't going to be fun. I actually wrote a parodic game history on the subject once.
I never thought school shooting would look so boring. Looks more like ''Workplace Cafeteria Shooting''. Everybody's so bored to death with their retarded jobs that they just don't give a shit about living or dying anymore.
Make it so that anybody can scan their school yearbook and the game accurately models the faces onto the bodies. Heck, why limit it to a school yearbook? Make it possible for any photo so you can do your co-workers, local community, or random internet camwhore in.
Sometimes you just gotta kill real people... virtually.
And if you used nothing but pictures of the aliens from They Live! it'd be totally awesome!
" He was mentioned in Penn and Teller's bullshit, I thought that was kinda funny! :D Also, why is video games worse then movies? "Because they train you in violence, yo!

Let's pretend to care for just a minute, nope couldn't do it.
That mod is really terrible if it is in fact not a school for dumb grown ups who for some reason still need to go to school past the age of 50
" He can't do anything. He's disembarred. "He can hire a lawyer to represent his case, but yes he can't go after them himself since he has been disbarred.
" What's that guy doing after his disbarment? I wonder if he's working as a garbage man, or in fast food. "He works at gamestop and he trys to not sell any M rated games.
" @PhatSeeJay said:You know what, my friends have been looking rather pixelated lately, and since I have played both Bulletstorm (rape ++) and lots of other shooters, I am ready to do some killing YAY." @amir90 said:Hell yeah.

Starting with Jack Thompson..
" I hate this guy but seriously, WTF is wrong with whoever made that stupid mod? "Obviously he felt there aren't enough games that task you with killing black inmates in a prison cafeteria.
I see where he is coming from, but he's still crazy. He obviously hasn't learned that enough is enough.
" Who is Jack Thompson and why is he important? "That's just the thing. He's not important. But for those that really don't know, he was an American lawyer who out of some sort of insane desire decided to become a crusader against violent video games. He showed up as a talking head in the press after school shootings and such to promote his viewpoint that games are corrupting the youth and turning them into violent monsters. But his behavior became so erratic and outrageous that the major press outlets started to ignore him. I don't think even Fox News would invite him on the air at this point. He was subsequently disbarred and it's highly, highly, HIGHLY unlikely that he'll ever be allowed to practice law in the United States ever again.
In short, Jack Thompson is a disgraced former attorney done in by his own hubris and desperately clawing for the attention that he's craved this entire time.

Jack Thompson is right! Video games are satanic tools of the socialist liberal agenda. I remember when i was just a wee lad of 32 I saw the Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan at an arcade and heard him exclaim "Goddammit this pinball machine ate my quarter!", and I realized that that is the perfect metaphor of the objective of the video game agenda. They want to steal the Spare Change of Freedom from the pockets of America.
