Jack Thompson Threatens Gabe Newell Over School Shooter Mod

[IxHADOUKENxI]

In A Nutshell Shut the **** up Thompson

 

[Mitsozuka]

I think someone needs to call the CSI Guys in on this one...


...because it looks like someone just killed my faith in humanity. *sunglasses*

 

[Digikid]

Oh look, the fucker is still alive! I thought he died or something, because for a moment I couldn't hear his abyssal whining anymore. Ah well, no good thing lasts forever.

We can only hope. That retard needs to go elsewhere.

Lets maroon him on Pluto or something

"I hate being right all the time."

Never knew you had a sense of humor Jackie boy. Now on a more serious note what would Gabe Newell have to do with this? Hes to busy swimming in pools of money.

"Given the fact that your company has the technological ability to stop the operation of School Shooter..." ROFL

"GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY" u mad cuz bad?

if I was Gabe Newall, THIS would be my response:
Dear Mr. Thompson,
My company did NOT create this mod and we do not have to approve any mods. To say we should have to approve mods would be the same thing as saying Crayola has to approve every kindergartener's drawing. We simply gave the community the tools to make whatever they wanted. Mods are downloaded and installed by individuals. If we were to remove this mod (as you suggested), we would have to personally delete it off of the hard drive of every single person who installed it. As you can plainly see, this is simply not feasable. But what worries me about your letter is the "or else". Is this a threat? What could have caused you to become so violent Mr. Thompson? Especially towards a total stranger? I personally think it's the anger shown on shows like Fox News. They perpetrate hate towards the gaming community and act as "hate-simulators" specifically designed to brainwash people into committing acts of hate. I mean, honestly, CHILDREN could be watching! It's a shame that this awful medium has brainwashed a fine mind as yourself. First using a derogatory term for little-people, then threatening innocent strangers? WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END MR. THOMPSON?
Yours Truly,
Gabe Newall

I agree that the mod is pretty nasty and should never have been made- its pretty stupid to even go ahead with something like that, and paints gamers in an awful light.

On the other hand, Mr Thompson, if you ever speak out against something then people will TRY AND LIKE IT because they hate you. Please, realise this and keep quiet.

And in other news, Gabe Newell was found dead of a heart attack in his apartment this morning. Sources say that, judging by the sheer amount of spittle on the monitor, he died of extreme laughter.

I hate to admit it, but Jack did predict a game like this would be made. I am disappointed.

He predicted it would be made, yes, but not as an analysis of it. He predicted a mod about SHOOTAN. (Or I could be a complete idiot and mis-remembered the post I read about it. If it is indeed SHOOTAN and no analysis- no redeeming qualities, in other words- then this probably shouldn't see the light of day.)

I think this sums up Thompson's message.

 

[FROGGEman2]

"I hate being right all the time."

Um, OK.

 

[ADDLibrarian]

Watch out, Thompson will give you such a pinch!! (I know the visuals don't match the Looney Tunes audio, it's still funny though)

I mean, I know that Jack Thompson was diagnosed a long time ago with a fatal case of USI (Unwarranted Self-Importance), but seriously? "I hate being right all the time"? He'll never understand that people ignored his opinions to begin with, and care even less now. And that people take you even LESS seriously when you pull cold hard "facts" out of thin air.

See, I'm kind of weird. I don't think 'murder simulators' cause people to commit murder. That's like saying a flight simulator will cause someone to want to learn to fly-okay actually that's true, but I don't think anyone has ever said flying a plane is immoral. Yes, killing ones and zeros is fun, but killing actual people...not so much. We have a mechanism in our brains that make it much more difficult, and less fun. Except for those nutjobs who enjoy murder. But they would have killed with or without these kinds of games.

I would love to know what Thompson thinks happens in someone's mind when they play a video game. Seriously, I'd like to know. Though no matter what he says, unless he can provide evidence, it's simply not true.

 

[Formica Archonis]

You either know or should know that the more moral midgets who run Checkerboarded Studios have created a mod for your company's Half-Life which they call School Shooter: North American Tour 2012. This mod is a full-blown Columbine massacre simulator which cannot function without your company's assistance and acquiescence.

Jack, Jack, Jack, always with the horrible words.

It's "more moral diminutive people".

 

[conflictofinterests]

heres a thought for him
*AHEM*
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I read it in the Heavy's voice.

 

[Tdc2182]

I'm soooo very interested to see what he possibly has right all of the time.

And how can he be tired of being right? Hasn't he lost almost all video game cases associated with him?

 

[conflictofinterests]

Exploding ragdolls and forcing people to ragequit= Murder Simulator. Truefacts.
