yep... I think so too... they have a lot in common, both Jack(ass), and Fox(fucks) like to pick on the gaming industry so that more moms(who stays at home), who stays at home would agreed to them bitching... so they can gain some listeners/viewers...Assassin Xaero said:
A note on the subject... Isn't all the game they ***** about, all rated "M"? as in "Mature games"? like NOT FOR KIDS! so if they are EVER GOING TO ***** ABOUT "VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES SOLD TO KIDS"... they should actually go after GAMESTOP or STUPID IGNORANT FUCKHEAD parents (who aren't prepared for having kids)... and not the developers.

If the PSP is the rival to the DS, then the N-gage was the 'rival' to the Gameboy Advance. In a nutshell the N-gage was a phone marketed to gamers. In reality however it was a taco shell marketed to gamers and people who used cellphones.
The N-gage (as I remembered it) was a commercial failure being over priced, didn't work well for gaming, and didn't work well for general cellphone use. It did have some big game series on it like The Sims, Tom Clancy, and a Elder Scrolls game. The one thing I'll remember it for though (other then looking like a taco) is a quirky little flash series I once saw on Newgrounds, Decline of Video gaming [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIWRwcPcvqs] (N-Gage scene is at 3:30). Its quite amusing that some of the things they mention in the series kinda happened

You know, unlike some gamers, I don't hate Jack Thompson, I don't wish any physical violence upon him, because truthfully I kind of pity him, the more I hear from Jack Thompson, the more it seems like he is straight obsessed, and obsession isn't a good thing.
Jack Thompson should go on vacation or something, maybe spend the next few months in Hawaii? Get his mind of videogames for awhile, might do him some good.

Actually, now that I think about it... M is 17+, and that is when you about to graduate school anyway. So unless they are going to shoot up a college, well... even then, they might play the game instead and not do it.punipunipyo said:
there is a lot of pages so i didn't read all the posts....but did I understand it right...did he say that the training mods were used as a "training aid" for the two school shootings that he used as examples? Now I am not sure but feel free to correct me (and just the right answer once please )....but didn't the school shootings happen before the mod was released....so if i understood what he said correctly wouldn't that mean that the shooters somehow foresaw the future and practiced with the mod? Again I may be wrong so feel free to correct me ...but that is what I understood from this...but yea he is just making a huge publicity stunt with this because he clearly doesn't know how things run and is probably the reason for all the violence going around

Dear Mr. Thompson,
I would like to refer you to the correspondence of Arkell v. Pressdram, 1971

Wasn't there a clause in the Half Life 2 user agreement that any mods for it you make are the property of valve if they so choose?
Still this guy is a nut job and I agree with one poster, numb nuts like him are the ones that make me want to go on a killing spree.

You know Gabe, ill tell you what, you listen to him, only if we see either a new Left 4 dead, HL2:E3, or the half life remake.
Psh, you don't need to play a murder simulator to evolve to going around killing people.
I mean, look at me.

-Sigh- I really wish these people would LEARN SOMETHING VALID AND HOPEFULLY TRUE about the medium they're bashing.
