Mike Fahey — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:20:00 EDT

Click to viewIs it finally game over for Florida lawyer and violent video game opponent Jack Thompson? Judgment has been entered in the case that started last year and came to a head when Judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the bombastic, showboating law man. The court has approved the report and has ordered that JT is officially disbarred as of 30 days from today.

The Court approves the corrected referee's report and John Bruce Thompson is permanently disbarred, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies the Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the permanent disbarment effective immediately. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed.

Avoiding tourists in a city like Amsterdam can be the only insurance you have to keep your fists in your pockets, and your sanity in tact. Between the groups of bachelor parties that crowd the triple-X Dutch Disneyland they call the Red Light District, and the geriatric attraction-seekers who will run you down to get a picture of a bicycle that has been chained up to the same bridge for the past three years, ducking down alleyways can be the only way to get around in Amsterdam. It can also be the only way to see the city outside of the way Rick Steves wants you to. More »

Kim Phu — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 14:40:00 EDT

I used to love WWF when Vince McMahon would actually came out of the woodwork from time to time and brawled with Triple H for marrying into his family by drugging his daughter ("Oh no he did-ent!). Although I don't watch it anymore, I'm still definitely going to buy WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 for the Wii after seeing this clip and also just in case Mr. McMahon is a special bonus character or something.

CNN/Money's Chris Morris: Hands-On w/Revolution

lsmith — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:01:56 EST

Lately, it seems like everybody is getting hands-on time with Nintendo's Revolution. Game Over got their reps in with the controller today and Morris' observations might be the most helpful that we've seen with understanding how the controller is shaping up.
