Dodd reveals he's target of industry-backed assassination plot

Video game freedom fighter Pete Dodd revealed to his Twitter followers on Sunday what many may have long suspected -- companies unhappy with his leaks to the video game proletariat have put a price on his head.

Putting on a brave face, Dodd mused in a tweet about how he might meet his demise:

If Im running around and someone kills me...fine. If Im running around and an attack helicopter filled with people on turrets kills me - ugh

 Needless to say, the tweet is revealing on a number of levels:

1. Dodd, a man of the people, wants to die a death "of the people."
2. While he's aware of the bounty, he doesn't know how much it is (is it attack helicopter money, or is it hired goons money?)
3. While this revelation sheds some light on Dodd's move west, it also calls into question his common sense -- a contract killing, especially one involving an attack chopper, is likely easier to pull off in the less populous state of Utah.

 One of Dodd's followers, a user who goes by the hacker alias "ElectricBlue187" suggested Dodd revisit his philosophy: "Getting killed by a tank or a well placed air strike is pretty rad. Getting shot from behind ... not so much"

Were it not for the recent Miami Dolphins scandal, we might suggest Dodd try his hand at becoming "IncognitoMortimer." But as it stands, the die appears cast.
