Hrmm its on first come first serve basis today.

How to stop the horde of people from getting to GH?

@Zerg we need ghillie suit and we need to tkae them down

HAHAH the only work i know how to do today , is to hit the F5 button on this thread and wait till a copy of unscratched HALO3 disc is loaded into my x-box faint......why time passes so slow

Thats very heavy workload eh 

@zerg yeah most likely will be dropping by after work. Which is a whole 2-3 hours after scheduled arrival at 4pm.

Which means, all of it might be snapped up.

I see, maybe call for sick half-day...
*Oww*!!! My head really hurt, need to go see doctor and go home (GH)

Jack Thompson Seeks to Have Halo 3 Declared a Public Nuisance in Florida

With the video game event of the year - the Halo 3 launch - just days away, game-hatin' attorney Jack Thompson is apparently seeking to re-create one of his greatest non-triumphs.

Although he failed miserably with a similar bid against Rockstar's Bully in 2006, Thompson hopes to have a Florida court declare Halo 3 a public nuisance. He promised as much late last year (see: Jack Thompson Vows More Public Nuisance Suits Against Games in 2007).

No surprise, really, that Halo 3 is in the media-hungry attorney's crosshairs. Thompson seems to prefer rattling his saber when high-profile game releases are involved. In his latest attention grab Thompson has released the text of what appears to be a court filing in the 11th Circuit, the same jurisdiction in which he failed embarrassingly during last year's Bully case.

Once again, Thompson is basing his claim on a Florida statute which defines public nuisances as that which:

    ...tend[s] to annoy the community, injure the health of the citizens in general, or corrupt the public morals

To get an idea of what the public nuisance law was really designed for, the types of places named in the statute include:

    ...any house or place of prostitution, assignation, lewdness or place or building where games of chance [i.e., gambling] are engaged in violation of law or any place where any law of the state is violated, shall be deemed guilty of maintaining a nuisance...

GP: Not a video game retailer in the bunch.

As with Bully, Thompson clearly hopes the court will grant him a hearing. Although after last year's well-publicized Bully performance, which earned Thompson a Bar complaint from presiding Judge Ronald Friedman, that seems unlikely.

More troubling by far are the long term implications of this action. Thompson apparently feels emboldened to invoke Florida's public nuisance law against any video game he desires to target. That is the essence of censorship and the video game industry cannot allow it to continue on any number of grounds - legal, moral or creative.
