The July 4th SGC09 debate between anti-gamer, former Miami lawyer Jack
Thompson and gamer/ attorney Mark Methenitis is all set and raring to
go, despite the hump on the road yesterday morning, nearly resulting
into Thompson's cancellation from the event. Reportedly, Thompson had
several complaints to event host Screw Attack outlined below: |

In an effort to make their nation violent videogame-free, 16 German Interior Ministers have moved to ask the Bundestag (the equivalent of parliament in Germany) for a total ban on violent video games. If approved, this won't be just your average banhammer - this is a national banhammer that even goes as far as prohibiting violent game development in the country. |

After getting his video game and movie bill vetoed by Utah Governor Jon Huntsman last week, a frustrated Jack Thompson turns his attack to Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who expressed concerns about the legality of HB 353. Thompson sent an email to Salt Lake Tribune, and a copy of it to GamePolitics, saying that Shurtleff is "dead meat" in the header. |

I bet Jack Thompson's not smiling now. His video game/movie bill may
have been passed overwhelmingly by the Utah House and Senate, but it
seems he didn't count on the Final Boss of the Utah Government. |

It seems that New Zealand has its own game-hating Jack Thompson counterpart. Get a load of New Zealand Chief Censor Bill Hastings, who says parents who purchase violent video games for their children should be prosecuted. More in the full article. |

Can they just stop already? Le sigh. Another day, another video game
bill proposed. Well, this bill is not exactly new already. This bill
confirmed to be sponsored by a Republican state legislator is none
other than the one originally crafted by the crafty Jack Thompson. You know, the "Games as Porn" bill. Am sure you're intrigued. Go on, head to the full article for the details. |

This Wednesday, California will be pitching the old anti-violent video
game law to the Court of Appeals. This is the same law that received an injunction last year when it was ruled to be a threat to free-speech rights. This would probably get out of hand if Jack Thompson still had a say. It'll be more amusing though. |

It's still far from the end of the road for Jack Thompson: apparently, the Florida lawyer walked out of his recent disciplinary hearing after filing his own formal objections to the sanctions hearing. The result? An enhanced disbarment recommendation that may result in barring Thompson from practicing law for ten years. More details in the full article. |

After a long series of trials, Florida lawyer Jack Thompson is finally found guilty of 27 out of 31 charges of misconduct. It won't be the end of Jack's love-hate relationship with video games, however, since there will be more to come in store for him. More details in the full article. |
