D-Dub Software, a video game studio specializing in adult-themed games that involve a lot of *ahem* explicit sex and nudity (i.e. BoneTown, a PC game which makes GTA's Hot Coffee mod look not-so-Hot-after-all), is waging war against the ESRB and the three major console manufacturers. Since D-Dub can't market their game out in the open, they're now on a mission to take the first step in what they hope to be an eventual "adult video game industry" of their own making.

Who needs Jack Thompson when you have entertainment like this? At a conference in Munich, the sister of an outspoken critic against video game violence called EA a "pig of a company." EA's PR guy says he's glad he wasn't able to go to the conference at all since it would obviously have been a waste of his time.

Jack Thompson, silenced by a permanent disbarment? No wai. Everyone's favorite non-lawyer is back and noisier than ever, this time over Bethesda's last-minute pullout of Fallout 3 gameplay footage. Hm, guess "ambulance chaser" is off his list of titles.

So what's old Jack so upset about? Click.

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.

"And don't you come back no more, no more, no more," and so on. Breaking news, gamers! The Supreme Court of Florida has approved Jack Thompson's disbarment. Thompson, of course, responded to the court's decision. Details after the link.

Terrorists will use any tool available to them. Even MMORPGs? Yes, a new presentation given at the Director of National Intelligence Open Source Conference in Washington gives a scenario on just how an MMO can be used to practice terrorist plots. First the White House... and then... the World! ...of Warcraft?

Jack Thompson's disbarment isn't stopping him from going after Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games, and Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3). This time, Thompson has blamed the game for a murder committed by a Thai teen-ager on a taxi driver. More in the full article up next.
