I wish I knew. But I don’t, so all I can do is make fun of them. Jack Thompson. Do I really need to go into details about what he’s doing? Maybe I should just create a Jack Thompson MadLib form instead: Video game hater Jack Thompson is mad at (noun) for (something totally unrelated to the last noun you just chose) because they are promoting (something video game related) and he feels like that will encourage kids to kill each other.
Anyway, GamePolitics.com wrote a sassy article about Jack’s latest adventure. Now he’s fighting against Wendy’s because they’re putting Wii toys in their kids meals. He’s not angry because the toys are dangerous or suggestive, but because Manhunt 2 will be available on the Wii and Manhunt 2 promotes murder.
That’s as retarded as boycotting Burger King because they put Disney toys in kids meals because Disney movies are played on DVD players and DVD players can also play porn.
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID?!

Yesterday, I got a MySpace email asking me what my favorite 360 title was right now. I responded:
I’m totally and completely hooked on Guitar Hero 2. I know, I know… but if you haven’t tried it yet, you need to. Good times.
Then I got this response:
I must say I ask you what game you like to play and you reply Guitar Heroes? I thought you were a hardcore gamer into like QUAKE 4 type games.
So I said:
I don’t agree with the theory that “hardcore gamers” are defined by whether or not they play a bunch of FPSs with a group online.
I am a hard-core gamer. I play all the time. I keep myself educated about what’s going on in the industry and what I can do to help it thrive. I spend way too much money on games and accessories for my consoles.
I don’t like to play on-line with other people. I’d rather play alone or invite a few friends over. Does that make me less of a gamer? I don’t think so. If anything, it makes me more hard-core because I don’t need the social interaction – just the game, my controller, and a few hours.
And, in response, received this:
Harcore gamers to me don’t play woosie games.
Okay, who decided that the only “hard-core” gamers are the ones who play FPS games online for 22 hours a night? And who decided that Guitar Hero is a “woosie” game?
The American Heritage dictionary defines “hard-core” as: Intensely loyal; die-hard: a hard-core secessionist; a hard-core golfer.
And I am a hard-core gamer. Just because I don’t enjoy playing on-line with a bunch of other gamers doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the art and technology that went into creating those games. I think that because I’m “The Game Dame” people assume that I like all kinds of games. I don’t.
HOLY CRAP! THE WORLD IS GOING TO CRUMBLE!! THE GAME DAME DOESN’T LIKE EVERY KIND OF GAME THERE IS!!!!
And guitar hero is NOT a “woosie” game. First of all, if you’re going to insult it, spell your insult correctly. It’s WUSSY. Secondly, STFU.

SAN JOSE, California (AP) — A convincing twin of Darth Vader stalks the beige cubicles of a Silicon Valley office, complete with ominous black mask, cape and light saber.
But this is no chintzy Halloween costume. It’s a prototype, years in the making, of a toy that incorporates brain wave-reading technology. Behind the mask is a sensor that touches the user’s forehead and reads the brain’s electrical signals, then sends them to a wireless receiver inside the saber, which lights up when the user is concentrating.
