Five Gaming Enclosures, Rounded Up
We've had a number of cases through the lab as of late. Today's excursion takes us away from HTPC or small form factor enclosures and straight into the realm of gaming chassis. Entries from ABS, Antec, Lian-Li, Thermaltake, and NZXT vie for a win. Read More

Case Mod: Jack Thompson's Game Violence Book

Next news
12:11 PM - June 15, 2009 by Jane McEntegart

And the award for most ironic case mod goes to . . .

We’ve seen a lot of crazy case mods over the years. That means a ton of LED lights, side panel windows, racing stickers and of course, the most recent (and probably the cutest of them all) being Wall•E PC case. Today we stumbled upon a great console mod in the form of Jack Thompson’s book on video game violence, Out of Harm’s Way.

Kotaku this week posts pictures sent in by a user on the halflife2.net fourms. Mattigus bought a copy of Jack Thompson’s book on eBay (which happened to be stolen from a library, by the way), gutted it and crammed in a PS2.

Check out the pictures below, where you’ll see GTA III being played by the Jack Thompson mod.

That is quite amusing and ironic.

But I doubt the book was stolen like this article claims. Sometimes a library try to sell books that don't get checked out much which I think its safe to assume about Jack Thompson's book.

Old news, but still hilarious none-the-less.

Now do it with a atom-powered rig.

Haha, this guy is actually my friend. Yes he had way too much time on his hands. I have only seen him use the thing maybe twice, so its entire purpose was just irony. But at least now he has his 15 minutes of internet fame.

I say send Thompson a nice "copy" of this "revised" edition. I am certain he would appreciate it. After all I think he was dis-bared so he should have plenty of time on his hands.

i woudl find it hard to believe that no oen cehcked this book out , as a student in Game Art Design major , i find this kind of reading a bit interesting sure most normal gamers may dodge this book like teh plauge but as some oen that will be going into this industry it is important that i know and understand the opposition's opinions , that way i can make a more educated stand against those opinions.

Pity Thompson gets his publicity too - although a bad one at that, I have to agree...^^

Simple but it serves it's purpose, really. Video games doesn't cause violence at all, I've found this inspiring article from this site http://www.articlesroom.com/Games- [...] udent.html and from there you can see that he uses video game to his advantage. I know most of us has knowledge to it but it's a case to case basis ;D
