Gamers From the Sooner State Avoid an Unnecessary Tax Raise on Video Games
On February 20th, 2012, Oklahoma House Bill 2696 was defeated in the House Revenue and Tax Subcommittee. This legislation would have placed a 1% excise tax on the sale of all "violent" video games. When asked to withdraw his tax proposal from submission, Democratic Representative Will Fourkiller attempted to create a task force on linking obesity and aggression to video games.

Someone Made a Custom Joystick with Michael McDonald On It
So every once in a while, I like to take a break from the everyday video game news to bring you something you wouldn't believe. For those who don't know me, I like classic American Rock music like the Steely Dan, Chicago, and the Doobie Brothers. I also like fighting games. I just never thought I'd see the two combined.

So places like Kotaku have heard from a lot of sources (which can be found in this article) that are close to the working on the next Microsoft gaming console. They found out that the code-name for Microsoft's next console is Durango. Sounds like a familiar animated title doesn't it?

So over 13,000 fans voted for their favorite video game ending of all time for next installment of "The Guinness Book of World Records Gamer Edition", and it was a surprise to everyone like Kotaku and Screwattack.
