Michael Atkinson Steps Down

[The_ModeRazor]

*Flashback: Emperor Palpatine is thrown into the reactor.*
Yaaay. Not that it changes much for me, but it's a relief to hear that hope is not yet dead.

 

[Sethzard]

This is what I feel

 

[Logan Westbrook]

Australian Attorney-General and enemy of gamers everywhere Michael Atkinson

He holds no sway outside of Australia. He isn't an enemy of gamers everywhere, just Australian gamers. People probably wouldn't even care if Yahtzee hadn't been constantly complaining aboot him.

Just because you don't care, don't assume that no one does. There is such a thing as solidarity you know?

I agree, I don't like him, but he isn't directly my enemy. He's no Jack Thompson.

By that logic, I shouldn't consider Jack Thompson an enemy because I'm British.

*Flashback: Emperor Palpatine is thrown into the reactor.*

If you've read Dark Empire you'd know that that was just a temporary setback for the Emperor

Well after defeating Topmson and Atkinson, who is the gaming community going to fight next? (It seems like it gets worse with every knew foe)

Switzerland, from the sound of things... To arms, brethren!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

Good to hear Aussies, but your not through the goal post end.. just one more Banzai bill to jump over before that R18+ rating, and that's who's going to replace Attickyson?
(You know you liked that SMW reference )

 

[mercenator3000]

I may not live in Australia, but I'm certainly happy for everyone who does.

 

[Mr. Grey]

If he's stepping down, he must have down something wrong. And I believe the Australian Gamers deserve an apology for it.

 

[War Penguin]

I feel obligated to post this:
[sub][sub](sorry)[/sub][/sub]
Congrats Australia. One less enemy to gaming.

 

[HotFezz8]

well fair enough, good for him about his son.

p.s. he's only 51?? the fucker looks 70!

p.p.s. woooooooooooooooo!

 

[Royas]

I guess we'll see if he was full of crap when he said he wasn't the only one keeping a mature rating for games from coming about. He always claimed he was one of several opponents of that idea.

 

[Jumplion]

Just as planned *Death note music*

So yeah, win for Australia.

It's exactly as planned! [http://www.motifake.com/image/demotivational-poster/0904/good-demotivational-poster-1239653298.jpg] Gosh, get it right!

I'd embed the video but for the life of me I don't know how [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmtiTVnefAw].

Anyway, back on topic, this is very good news for Aussies. Here's to a bright future for gamers there!

Didn't read it, I am so sorry.
Probably for the better, so my fucking catharsis isn't all screwed up.

It's glad that the death of the Tyrant has coincided with the birth of the Family Man.

I, like many others, wasn't a fan of his policies (not that they affected me directly) but I never had anything in particular against the man. Glad to see he's going on to do what makes him happy.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

wooo! quick! someone break the good news to Yahtzee! (brings out the champagne).

 

[yoyo13rom]

Am I the only person worried that this is the start of something awful?

What if the next guy is even worse?

Yep, you're right, never let your guard down fellow aussies!

 

[Brad Shepard]

This is probley the 2en best news in gaming i would like to hear (The first being Thompson being murdered)

 

[Sepiida]

Stuff like this is almost enough to make me believe in a kind, benevolent god.

 

[Mr.Gompers]

How could the next guy be worse? Hitler and Stalin are both dead...

 

[Dexomega]

People, I say we all toast to this!

Bring out your Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, or any other kind of disgusting beverage you drink while gaming. This must be celebrated!

I call dibs on the wish-bone!

[sub]Oh, and as a side note, I'm not surprised his son is embarrassed about him going to his soccer games. [/sub]

Oi! Party Time!
