It’s been a roller coaster ride of a year for embattled Miami attorney Jack Thompson. Being the most maligned person in the gaming industry (besides whoever made the ET game) can’t be an easy job. Even now he is fighting to keep his license after a series of behaviors that have left the worlds of gaming and law wondering “What the hell is this guy’s problem?” So it should come as no surprise to anyone that ol’ JT has decided to stir up some more trouble as a last ditch effort to be the guy with the most outrageous lawsuits of 2007.

In 2007, I became a somewhat avid observer of MMOs, even though I don’t play them – mostly because there are so many interesting issues wrapped up in the wide, wide world of online multiplayer games, especially in Asia. 2007 was a pretty interesting year for MMOs, and Gamasutra names five of the most important trends and moments of ’07 for MMOs: ‘little’ games get huge, messy MMO failures, WoW‘s mainstream success, big companies go head to head, and new questions on the best way to play:
I see 2007 as generally positive. The Massive game industry is still in its infancy, in many ways, and these failures are hard growing-up type lessons. I’ve tried to keep that in mind when constructing a list of the Top Five MMO Trends of 2007 ….
Let’s hope looking back on 2008 will be more about sugarplums and less about coal.
I’m dreadful at putting together ‘best of’ lists, but I’ve been mulling what I’d put on my top stories of ’07 list. What about the faithful Kotakuites out there in the audience?

To: Fahey (Crecente) From: Bashcraft RE: Running on Fumes
In Texas, I hated going to post office. It was painful and slow and just plain awful. No offence to the fine people who work for U.S. Mail, but my local branch was pretty bad: Long lines, slow service and few clerks. Sending a package could take forty minutes or so!
Today, I went to my local post office here in Japan to send those Nintendo cards to Joel for Funde Razor. It dawned on me that damn I really like Japan Post. Like with most service here, if you are waiting, a clerk hollers to another clerk who runs over to help you. Sending a package takes a few minutes, and you are in and out before you know it!
Until very recently, Japan Post was part of the Japanese government. Since it was viewed as more stable than traditional banks, the majority of citizens have postal savings accounts — even now that it’s a private company. After being privatised, Japan Post changed its official colour from red, which I loved, to orange, which I don’t. I’m sure there’s a logical reason for that, but man, I hate the orange post office colors!

It’s happening. Katamari creator actually is designing playground equipment. A while back, Takahashi said he wanted to leave the gaming industry and design playground equipment. GameCenter Iain Simons read this, wrote a proposal and began trying to rally support with the Nottingham city council. It’s still in the early stages, but Takahashi envisages a wind turbine with a climbing net decorated with hundreds of LEDs. Close your eyes and imagine that. Yeah. He adds:
Being totally honest with you, I’m beginning to get a bit bored making just games. I wanted something in a different area, but quite similar. Being able to move physically, to exercise, I thought that would be a good idea to start with.
Okay dude, whatever you say!
