Thompson blames Omaha massacre on Department of Defense
Just when we thought the dust has settled, I browse through the web to find Jack Thompson setting his sights on the Department of Defense on GamePolitics.
Thompson had sent a press release to GamePolitics that seems to blame the Department of Defense for the increasing “number of commando-style assaults” by young gamers and sites the mall massacre which took place December 5, 2007 in Omaha, Nebraska as an example and then later in the article blamed the Virginia Tech massacre on an “obsessive high school player of the military-themed CounterStrike.“
Which baffled me, I didn’t remember there being another shooter at VA Tech or did he mean Cho Seung Hui, in which case the only game he ever played according to the state’s investigation on Cho was Sonic the Hedgehog...
Playing “Lost” on your iPod
As any fanboy knows, tonight is the two-hour season finale of Lost. In celebration of this amazingly awesome event ABC has released its first video game based on the series.
The most amazing part is that it’s for the ubiquitous iPod. For a measly $4.99 you play as Jack, everybody’s favorite leader on a stranded island. The game follows the events of Lost up to this season and has you interacting with a multitude of the Losties and performing tasks that relate to the show, such as tending to the wounded, collecting dynamite and even avoiding the mysterious smoke monster.
It seems like this game is standard RPG fare but, with salivating fans surely being upset at tonights season ending “revelations,“ this should tide them over as they cuddle with their tiny glowing screens, eagerly anticipating next seasons new and infuriating string of unanswered questions. So head on over to the iTunes store and get yourself “Lost"and try not to yell at the T.V. tonight when all will not be revealed.
