Video Games and, Politics Options

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.

Heh, yeah, all the big chains are scared of these lawsuits (none of which have worked out).

Leaves me to wonder if Thompson is in it for the money/fame or if he's one of those republicans that ironically believes in less personal freedom.* I'm gonna say money.

How is Q4?
