Jack Thompson Calls Kotick Out on Modern Warfare Comment

[T-Bone24]

Y'know how he says "old boss"? And why do you think he's not your boss anymore, Jacky-o? Oh, that's right, you were disbarred and publicly humiliated.

 

[Gunner 51]

Ha ha ha, good ol' Mr Thompson. The man is a modern day Captain Ahab seeking to destroy the whale that is gaming.

Even as a lawyer, he was still regarded as something of a joke within the legal community.

 

[Jared]

Why does anyone allow him to speak? He does almost nothing but make himself look an idiot.

Yeah...seriously. If he is going to make a pooint at least make it valid...

 

[Caliostro]

"My old boss, Sam Powers, taught me that if the other side talks long enough, they will give you all you need to win [...]"

That's why you got disbarred dumbass.

 

[Premonition]

Ugh, need to retype it now huh. Ah well, seeing as the old topic is closed and all:

So this guy admits that because of his addictive personality, he can not play Modern Warfare 2. Then Tommy Gunn here comes in and says it's all the videogames' fault. Bra-effin-vo

-ahem-

didnt Jack Thompson post gay porn on his website that was accessible by anyone including children a while back? [http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/26/jack-thompson-submits-gay-porn-to-court-judge-not-amused/]

now the question is: Do you think conservatives would listen to a man that made gay porn readily available to the public without an age-gate?

The actual story is funnier. He submitted completely irrelevant gay porn photos electronically to the court's docket, making them a matter of public record. Anyone could search through the court's cases on the court's website and see them, and there was nothing the court could have done about it. What a douche.

Believe it or not he defended Mass Effect... he's still batshit crazy and really, really needs to take a good look at himself in the mirror.Also Jack and Atkinson have that one thing in common when trying to prove games lead to violence... lack of evidence, Atkinson can be excused he's a politician but Thompson was a lawyer so he should know better.

Just wondering... if nobody posted his news... would he even matter?. I mean if the escapist here or joystick didn't post what he said then wouldn't he just die off. Like how Freddy needs fear to exist and if you ignore Freddy he dies... well wouldn't the same just happen to him?. Just putting it out there not making a complaint, just thinking aloud.

christ can you at least attempt to hide your bias?

 

[Sparrow]

In Thompson's letter, he writes: "My old boss, Sam Powers, taught me that if the other side talks long enough, they will give you all you need to win ..."

So THAT'S why he sucks at his job.

(Ba-dum-tish!)

 

[GeekFury]

Jack Thompsons crawled out of his grave again? I thought he finaly just gave up and shut up.

 

[UnravThreads]

Thompson vs Kotick vs The Aussie Guy I Can't Remember The Name Of.
I would pay to see that fight.

 

[Dahaka27]

I don't know what it is about people like this. Maybe he is addicted to the media spotlight? Also
the only reason FOX will give him time to flap his gums on air is so we will watch him spas around on Global television to then mock him horribly on forums and gaming news sites.

At least FOX does something for us.

 

[Gaderael]

You know, Jack Thompson does an awful lot of talking about minors. You might say he has an obsession with them. Just saying.

 

[DoctorX41794]

I bet you his mum didn't buy him a console when he was a kid. If she did he might've made the best game ever........... but now he's insane.

 

[Doug]

They really just need to lock him up...

Indeed, and to be honest...he's lost his touch for trolling. The Jack Thompson of old use to be able to get me into a foaming anger. Now I just feel like he's a tired old man who grow up in an era were it was ok to hate blacks. Its a feeling of pity and mild annoyance as you try and push his wheelchair around the old folks home without him muttering something racist.

 

[felixader]

I tell you; guys from the same state of mind like our Mister Thompson here were responsible for things like the wich hunts in the Medieval.

 

[Jabbawocky]

My god this man is the large crap that would not flush down the toilet.

I can just imagine he actually posts on video game forums, trying to lead people into typing things which, he believes, will give him an advantage on the war against video games.

"I had enough of your disingenuous assertions *punch* " - Shepard

sums up what i feel about this article.

GEEEEEE Jack, people with addictive personalities?! Never met one of those.

What a crackpot, his news stories at least give me the smug comfort of knowing there's people drastically dumber and misinformed in their ways than I.
