We’re finding the J!NX way of life so prevalent that we needed a place to tell everyone about it. Amazing fan submissions, celebrity sightings, interwebz articles, and essentially anything random and awesome enough to feature, we’re putting it here.
 
Sign The Gamer Petition!
Posted by Superfly @ 7/23/2010 4:53:00 PM

Hello there friends! It has been a long time. Too long, in fact.

Anyway, I come to you today bearing information about a pretty sweet cause.

The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is an association that represents gamers. Right now, they're working on a Friend of the Court document, called the consumer amicus brief, which they'll be submitting to the Supreme Court in the near future. They're doing so in support of the industry, and will be attaching a gamer petition along with it.

The petition is a way for consumers to be able to speak out about games deserving to enjoy the First Amendment protections as other entertainment media such as music or movies. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the violence in video games case later this fall and the petition will be amended to a formal amicus brief in support of gamers and gaming.

So, click on the image below, or visit GamerPetition.org and help us fight "the man".

    I'm glad to see we're finally getting represented out there!
  4. They're probably just going to, if the court agrees, ajust the ratings, which at the moment are laughable as it is.

  16. Great I can't believe that our Governator (aka Terminator and Dutch from Predator) wants to curtail violence in games. That's just peachy. Snorlax is right, there's no lawsuit for the Court to hear regarding BP yet and something vague like "stopping war" isn't something the Court would hear anyway.
