The Jack Thompson thing has been quite enjoyable of late.

Anyone there play too much GT4 and go drifting afterwards? Play too much GTA and go running people over afterwards?

Edit: The long and short of it is that the main proponent of banning violent video games made a pledge to donate $10k to charity if someone came out with a really heinous game (he provided specifications). Some GTA modders did just that, and he reneged, claiming that his statement wasn't meant to be taken literally.
Penny Arcade, a comic strip, has been at odds with him lately. They actually made the donation, in his name.

funny thing happend to me today. i went to buy quake4 today (mature 17+) at bestbuy. go the the register and the teller asks for my id. im thinking, oh ok, some type of credit card security thing... so i give her my ID. then i realize that i didnt even give her my card yet and that im paying with a debit card that needs my pin anyway. so i asked her, "did u card me for the game?" and she said yes. lol i started laughing cause its been a loooong time since i was 17 ..haha guess they are trying to crack down on this rating system.
