But the 19-year-old doesn't want to fight.
"When gamers get together ... we pretty much challenge our skills — any video game, anytime, anywhere kind of thing," Foutch said.
He and four teenage friends spent several months planning a youth video game center they are asking the community to help get off the ground.
The center would offer youth a variety of games to play on Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 video game consoles, or online on computers.

We Will Use Open Source Software
With a project as creative and imaginative as ours, we want to be as supportive of creative, imaginative projects as possible. Open source software is yet another one of the breakthrough evolutions of the modern age, blending ideas and imagination with dedication and teamwork - which is exactly what we're trying to do. And with the rise of open source software, there is no longer much reason to continue throwing money at big companies who make clumsy products when we can save money using something that's free and open.
Our project, the collaborate effort of a group of youth working to build a youth video game center, follows the same type of philosophy. While there is no real source code (unless you count our project plan), we are a collaboration of like minded people working for a common goal - something that we will all benefit from once completed - and everyone has some small stake in the project.
Not only does our project characterize open source software, we will also use open source software everywhere we can. The current list of programs includes OpenOffice.org, the GIMP, various free games such as the Battle for Wesnoth and SuperTux, along with any others we might pick up along the line.
Second, we will support Open Source software and our visitors simultaneously by offering panels on how to use programs such as the GIMP in place of photoshop, or Writer in place of Word. This will give our visitors more of an edge when it comes to software, because they will in the future be prepared to use open source software as it's use continually increases in commercial settings. And anyone who attends at least one panel per month gets 10% off their membership.
That said, I personally believe strongly in Open Source software, and I believe that our project (and all young people in Muscatine) will benefit greatly from it.
