Judge Clears Bully For Publishing
stupid_is writes "The BBC are reporting that Judge Ronald Friedman has cleared Bully for publication in Florida. Jack Thompson is, predictably, critical of the decision, stating "You did not see the game, you don't even know what it was you saw." after Take-Two gave him the game, along with someone to play the game for him to watch before he made a decision." This is a follow-up to our story last week about Take-Two handing over copies of Bully per court order.
I have this story still pending from when I typed it in on Saturday morning.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
Slashdot, where armchair scientists get shouted down and armchair theologians get modded up.
I really don't get the submission process. I sent this in on Friday. It was pending all weekend. Now it's rejected and they post someone's submission that links to an article published this morning. So it wasn't a matter of not being first to the punch. And my submission text was short and to the point with all the relevant details, linking to two different sources. It even had a better quote from Jack: "When kids start showing up in ERs with slingshot wounds at the hands of Bully enthusiasts, don't blame me."
I wouldn't have said anything, but having the main page load saying "Slashdot is powered by your submissions, so send in your scoop" at the top was a bit too much. What a crock.
Sim Nigger really sounds like a great game. I wish it was real. Too bad there's no way anything like that will ever get produced (at least not commercially). It would definitely need fried chicken and Kool-Aid along with the watermelon though.
BTW, wouldn't a name like "Sim Niggaz" be more appropriate?
