WHORES! I mean, Daily Duh 8/9/05

Having now taken a nice, Flying Spaghetti Monster-length day break, we return with daily coverage in a sense more familiar to Intelligent Design folks. Because what image fits less with video games than intelligent design?

Someone made thousands of dollars duping in EQ2, which gives EQ2 the notable distinction of being the first MMOG where the players make more money than the developers. I mean, really. Thousands of dollars? The fuck?

The chicken speaks to Jack Thompson, and tells him that Killer 7 has sex scenes, so he must DESTROY! No, really. He's petitioning the ESRB to change the rating on a game based on IGN's account of the game. And you thought he was stupid for being a drooling anti-video game activist. But no! He's stupid for reading IGN! Which leads to the crucial question - what came first - the chicken or the Vault?

And finally, in the short and sweet department, Man dies after playing video games for 50 hours. Gene pool thanks him.
