Either the gods have blessed us gamers or Jack Thomspon is a jackass, both of which i’d say are rather appreciative comments to make.
It’s probably been the biggest news wave over the past two days that the infamous anti-gaming crusading lawyer in America (or the world to be truthful) has been found guilty of misconducting the ways of the law (… I suppose that’s one way of putting it :S). He’s been filed on several accounts of fradulent usage of the law, some of which are displayed below and the rest in the source.
- Knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal
- Knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal
- Communicating the merits of the case with a judge before whom the proceeding is pending
- Using means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third person
- Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation
- Engaging in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly or through callous indifference disparage or humiliate litigants or other lawyers
- Making statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge

Personally, he had it coming - one way or another he was going end up screwed for messing with the online gaming scene. There’s millions of us, and one of him - and lets face it, with all the blind accusations he was making; he was eventually going to trip over his own feet.
I can see that his interests mean good, but seriously; I think it’s pure ignorance to call Super Columbine RPG a tool for the murders that took place in the most recent school shootings. Essentially the guerilla made game is just a 2D RPG with hardly related graphics to the plotline of the actual game.
