Live-Shot.com

Yup, someone rigged a webcam to a sniper gun and anyone with a credit card number and a mouse can log in and start shootin. It's one of a growing number of electronic games that actually kills live animals. The controls couldn't be simpler nor easier. Click where you want the bullet to strike and no matter how far away your are, that's where the bullet will go. You can brag to your friends that you made a kill from 20,020.735km away (bouut twayullvv ann uhh haalf thouuzzuun maahlls inn Tehksuuzz, whaar thuhh mehtrehk syyzztehm izz aagaayuinst stahte lahw). Fortunately it became illegal in over 11 states to kill animals in precisely this way shortly after the game's release. Fortunate especially for Mr. Lockwood, considering how many customers logged on with the stated intent of spinning the gun around and taking a shot at him. I have declined to rate this game, as I have not played it (and won't), and -6 stars is not an option.

I [Zerothis] would just like go on record and say that John Lockwood is not exactly an 'American' and he certainly doesn't represent most Americans. He's a Texan. The unofficial state motto of Texas is "It's like a whole other country" and is considered the official state motto (even by supposedly educated politicians and lawyers), because so few know the real one; I, for one, happen to like their unofficial motto. Many Texans claim to reserve legal the right to actually secede from the US. Despite this claim (made by supposedly educated politicians and lawyers), Texas has no more privilege to secede than any other state, but wish they'd do it already.
In all fairness however, Texas was the first of at least 11 states to outlaw 'remote hunting'.

MSRP: $14.95 (one time membership fee) + $1000 deposit + (cost of Texas Hunting License) + (Texas fee per animal killed minus the deposit)
Requirements: Flash enable Web browser on any platform, mouse or similar pointing device, and a Texas hunting license (obtainable instantly online).

An alliance of Arizona-based Safari Club International, the Texas Wildlife Association, Buckmasters, other hunter's groups, fish and game departments, the National Rifle Association, animal welfare groups, the Humane Society, the ASPCA, Congressmen, and several accredited scholars worked feverishly together to have this operation shut down. The live-shot.com website and the game are currently defunct. Congressmen Del. G. Glenn Oder remarked about what he will be remembered for: "I had the only bill the NRA and the ASPCA both supported"

Is this really appropriate to be here? It's a remote controller for a real gun with no actual game elements (except in the sense of game animals).

"My goal is to bring shooting and hunting to those who can't do either. Just because you have the ability to go out and experience hunting firsthand doesn't mean it's right to discriminate against those who don't.
