More gloating. Last time, I swear.

So our favorite nemesis Jack Thompson has narrowly avoided being thrown in jail, but may still be found in contempt before another Judge. Millions across the nation have a chance to buy and play <i>Bully</i> without fear of old white people taking that privilege away.

Before I stop this nonsense and move onto something else (until I finish the game and get a review up here) I want to take some time and show you pretty pictures. Nothing special, just shots of what you get when you open the <i>Bully</i> package. Take a good look, Jack Thompson. The game is totally in my hands.

Like most Rockstar Games, the box contains a game disc, a manual, and a fold-out poster. The thing is double-sided, and on one end you’ve got a big map…

… Very handy, and beautifully detailed.

But if you’re the kind of guy who thinks maps are for sissies, you can flip it over and get a nice piece of art, which features mean game villain Mr. Hattrick threatening some poor kid (is that Petey?) who obviously hasn’t reached Level 5 in whatever class that is.

Overall, a nice offering for forty bucks. I only wish that the manual had some extra thickness. Or maybe you get that with the $50 ‘collector’s edition’ set.

Freedom for all!

I’m a little late for the party.

But I can vouch for that. A lot was going on.

Last week’ s court defeat of Jack Thompson was fantastic.

Not that it would’ve affected me in any way, because if the Judge had ruled against Bully it would only have been blocked from release in the state of Florida. I still would have been able to hold my copy in front of the camera and gloat like a smarmy man-child. This is more of a victory for the industry, gamers, the First Amendment, and common sense in general.

Thank you, Judge Friedman, for letting adults read, watch, and play whatever they damn well please. And props for sending our favorite madman spiraling out of control. Maybe now that half the media has caught onto his craziness, they’ll stop giving him news spots to brag about when he trolls on forums.

We are go for launch.

Greetings fellow nerds, gamers, TV junkies, moviegoers and bookworms. Welcome to World 7.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to turn this from a drab looking blank slate into a full-fledged, active blog. World 7 will not be just another geek site. It’s going to be mine. Stay tuned!
