Case Mod: Jack Thompson's Game Violence Book

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

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.

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

isnt it much easier and more practical to put a slim ps2 into the book? btw, I hope he didnt pay for that book.

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
