I'm avoiding GTA4

In the news that is. I was on my way home from work listening to the news on my radio when it was announced that after local weather and traffic they would discuss Grand Theft Auto 4. I turned off the radio immediately because I can't stand to listen to the bullshit any further. I will not rehash my old arguments and just put forth one new, or at least reworked argument from me: I am grown man and can not stand to listen to ignorantly formed opinions about my media outlet choice. These are the same people that sit on their couch for six hours or more every evening cultivating their fat asses and no interacting with anyone aside from being a group gathered around a television, slack jawed and totally engrossed in CSI, Law & Order: SVU, Numb3rs, Lost, Wife Swap, Desperate Housewives, Dirty Sexy Money, Cold Case, The Closer, Criminal Minds, The First 48, Dateline, Dexter, The Sopranos, or a bevy of other shows that focus on murder, rape, infidelity, backstabbing, scheming. You know, all the things that make video games great (except rape and sexual assault) Moreover, if not for the general news media, Jack Thompson, and peoples' need to have some kind of controversy to capture their attention after the mind numbingly boring episode of whatever crime drama or reality show is over, I wouldn't have to be all indignant.

I'm pissy now, no boobs this post.

Why I can't put down Halo

I haven't really even played Halo3 since Brainwave and I went through it together on legendary. I have played all of one multiplayer game since I got it back and have had little or no desire to play anymore. For whatever reason though I can't seem to trade it in now. I have admired the Halo line since the original was released. I have even read the novels that coincide with the in game storyline and found them all to be amazing reads. I hold out hope that Halo Wars will be amazing and rekindle my love for the game.

I have felt that the story was greatly harmed when the alliance between elites and humans was introduced. I thought that the struggle against a maniacally zealous foe was a great motivational aspect of the game series. I will never forget how pissed I was when in Halo 2 the first level where you are in the character of an elite began and I was rather pissed off. I had hoped that Halo 3 would somehow rectify this but, in fact it really didn't. The story was kind of old and the emphasis of The Flood did less to revitalize excitement than it did to push annoyance.

And yet, I still can't bear to part with the game. In fact, I want to go through it again and even possibly play some online matches...

Well that was pointless rambling and to make up for your spending the time to read it:

Two things.

ONE
Jack Thompson is still at it. He apparently recently contacted the mother of Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick to appeal to her sense of decency that she might speak to her son about the games he publishes. I really do not understand this guy's motivation. He credits previous GTA titles' content as attributing to the deaths of three police officers in Alabama. I am stuck wondering if he is a hardcore undercover gamer who is ashamed of himself for it... Kind of like Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, or numerous other moral activists that get busted doing that which they decry as so abhorrently evil. Perhaps Thompson was turned away by an ex-lover over a video game addiction or something. Either way it just makes no sense to me whatsoever and I find it a little pathetic.
