whilst i agree with the volutnary boycotting of this game on a indivual and educated basis, this is seriously NOT the man to champion such a move.VincentX3 said:
simple association with this fucking moron makes my position seem shakier and less reasonable

The devil's greatest trick was to convince everyone he didn't exist.
OT: I wish this guy would stop his meaningless crusade. I hope he isn't allowed near the Supreme Court when they hold their big groundbreaking case on games.

I LOVE the final line here, it talks all about the article and the stop of MoH, and then:
"Medal of Honor comes out on October 12 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3."
Hilarious xD

Well now he's been disbarred as a lawyer, he's got nothing else in his life to distract him from the voices in his head.
Honestly, I'm in agreement with someone about a page higher up, that I wouldn't be at all surprised if news leaked out that games companies were sending free copies of games to him with a press release and dvd pointing out all the 'controversial' bits.
Here's my big take on the whole issue tho, when I was really young, like 5 or 6, before I even got my first Atari 2600, a big part of playing with friends was running around making gun shapes with our hands and shouting 'BANG!' at each other. So many playground games eliminated people because they were 'dead' or you 'killed' them.
Kid's aren't violent because of videogames, (if, and this is arguable, fantasy violence has any correlation to real violence), they're violent because they're humans, and we're all bunch of psychos, only just reined in by the moral values of society, knowing that stabbing people in the eyes makes you seem unpopular at parties.

Someone should go to his house in the middle of the night and plaster the outside of his house with posters of the games he tried to ban.
It's a good thing he has such a punchable and squishy face.
Now if only somebody near him would realise that.

Hasn't he learned his lesson after getting barred for all the shit he's pulled?
Ladies and gentlemen I give to you: Jack Thompson, king of the trolls. Most trolls will quit after being banned, not Jack Thompson. Almost all trolls know when to quit if they lose their job that they spent several very expensive years getting, not Jack Thompson. Most trolls know deep down how full of shit they are, not Jack Thompson. He has the utter conviction of an utter idiot, truly he is the king of all trolls. All pitiful creatures of the internet owe him fealty, for he will never stop trolling until long after death takes him.

I have no idea what he is talking about.psrdirector said:
I also don't consent with people putting the blame solely on video games. If someone plays a video game, and sometime later goes out and kills lots of people, there were WAY more factors involved than just the game itself. There was likely mental illness, abuse, depression, or some other form of trauma involved.
Jack Thompson needs to get a serious wedgie. -lame insult-
EDIT:
This has nothing to do with your post, but I love your avatar. SG-1 was one of my favorite shows ever.Daemascus said:
"WHAAACKOOO!!"
Does he honestly think that a video game controller is in any way similar to a real gun?
Is this man retarded?

This is hilarious. I can picture Jack Thompson, in his clinical depression, sitting on his couch eating a cup-a-noodles and watching the evening news, when SUDDENLY, the box art of Medal of Honor appears on his screen!!! Once he learns that you can play as the taliban, he swears to whoever it is he worships that he will sacrifice his life if need be in order to prevent this game from ever seeing the light of day. "It will be akin to the second coming of Jesus," he thinks to himself.
Seriously though, his claim that the game can be used as a training tool as absolutely assinine. Whites vs Whites= Okay, but changing the skin of one of the sides makes it a training tool for the taliban? Also, I wasn't aware that the developers of the game had combat experience in the middle east. If I were to go into combat, I would love for the opposition to be disillusioned by a video game!!!!
Also, since when is breaking the first amendment the "necessary, proper, and legal" thing to do?

I can't stand medal of honour games anyway. If the only thing they can do to extend the series EVEN MORE is make us play the taliban then it deserves to not exist anymore. I am SO bored of these things.

...although, I hate to see anti-videogame crusading morons get any victories at all.
