Campaign-Themed Video Games?

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Gov. Jesse Ventura has come up with a 'great' way to get his campaign message to the younger demographics. 'The Ventura game -- or collection of games -- would be entertaining, 100-percent political and distributed free to voters as campaign literature, he says.' Wow, I can't wait, I haven't been this excited since Avoid the Noid from Dominos Pizza came out." Too bad video games aren't considered protected speech.

    Volition released the full source code for FreeSpace 2.

    Very cool stuff. They still claim copyright -- they haven't GPLed it or anything -- but as far as I can tell it's free for noncommercial fan projects and such.

    All source code herein is the property of Volition, Inc. You may not sell
    or otherwise commercially exploit the source or things you created based on the
    source.


    Can't wait to mess around with this beast (four megs worth of code).

  2. SPEECH. Not "speach"! SPEECH. by revscat · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Good lord people. Do you REALLY expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't even properly spell a six letter word? Especially when that word is the central to the topic you are talking about?

    Repeat after me: THERE IS NO "A" IN THE WORD "SPEECH". It's not that difficult, k?

    I hate to be a spelling Nazi, but I've seen this mistake probably a dozen times over the past week, and it's just a dumb one to make.

    I am sure that since I have taken it upon myself to point this out that there are at least five spelling mistakes in this very message. Always seems to happen that if you bitch about spelling and/or grammar, your message will magically transform into something that looks like it was written by George Bush.
