I would consider you a very nice person if you would go in on this offer and ask his side of the story and post it here.johnman said:
Then notify me to be sure I get it =)
Though I do not believe is Shamus is telling us lies, it's always nice to see such people word their deeds.
Forget all this "Edgy Games" stuff, I want to meet the judge who sentenced someone to get punched in the balls twice a week, maybe we can get him to be creative with Tim.
So when is Tim going to sue "The Edge" from U2? How about the cutlery products of Razor Edge? Ya know, if his company actually made games at all in the last 10 to 15 years and not just said they were in developmentment I might see a justification for some of this crap. The fact that Mr. Langdell didn't sue EA over Mirror's Edge, but surprising said that his company was in the development of a game called "Mirrors" (which is just vaporware like everything else they have announced) makes me think he sent a C&D letter to EA and EA responded with "Go F&@k yourself, we have more expensive lawyers!"
Loved the comic, give Tim Wednesday's and Saturday's and just enjoy the booze.

Tim Langdell, Tim Langdell, Tim Langdell:
There, hopefully this comes up when you google "Tim Langdell" now. Congrats, b!tch, your internet infamous! I hope I can get through to you what with the other 500 people waiting to burn you in effigy.
Hearing Travis of Gamepunx go off on some idiot suit is nothing new, but hearing Shamus Young attack him directly in experienced points was pretty satisfying. Langdell's a goddamn parasite. If Tim here thinks he's being clever with his whole "trademark" scam, I'm going to let him in on a little secret:
You're not the first pansy S#!T for brains to think he can hide behind loopholes in the law and take money from decent, hardworking people and you won't be the last, but you might be the most detestable, cowardly and despicable person to ever to take fraud to such a disgusting low. The guys who run those pyramid scams? and cheat old ladies out of their pension? They go straight when people tell them that they're like Tim Langdell. Die is a GUTTER.
Tim Langdell, Tim Langdell, Time Langdell.

Nice comic. This guy is just an idiot picking on small timers. What he hopes to get out of it is another question but if it's a lot of people pissed off then he's well down the track
You know, it's one thing when he goes after bigger companies like Sony or Marvel, they at least have the ability to defend themselves with lawyers of their own. But going after the developer of Edge makes him akin to some highway robber jumping-out from behind the rocks as a poor beggar with a few alms in his cup shambles past.Specter_ said:
The only problem is that the local sheriff in this little scenario is backing-up the highway robber.
For each one of those, Tim loses a bit of self-esteem. And that makes me smile.dogstile said:i'll bet that half the people who have replied so far don't have a clue who Tim is
In my book it's the same thing: it's bullshit.WhiteTigerShiro said:
Yes, he has the trademark and he's trying to "protect" it. But he should never have gotten a tm on "Edge". On "EDGE Games", sure. But not on the word "edge"...
So it's not just his fault, because he's a douchebag, but the departments as well, who gave him that tm.
He isn't protecting shit. His "company" is nothing but a front that lets him sue people for easy money because the way our government is set up lets him get away with it. Seriously, just look at their homepage [http://www.edgegames.com/]. Tell me that it looks like a real business, and keep a straight face while doing it. They're even trying to tell you that they have a comic book series for fuck's sake. Never mind that the first comic cover is blatantly a photo shopped Dare Devil cover (the other three don't look familiar, but they look kinda like The Comedian).Specter_ said:
He isn't protecting a damn thing. He's just robbing a poor man who had a great idea for an innovative new video game because he had the misfortune of naming that game based on the single word in the English Dictionary that happened to let Langdell sue him.
He payed money for the trademark, the trademark was approved, so he has the legal right (I think even the obligation, in case he doesn't want to lose it) to sue the shit out of people infringing it.WhiteTigerShiro said:
The problem is that he even got the trademark.
I agree that he's a bastard, a douchebag and whatever else you want to call him for trademarking "Edge". But then, in a normal society, the people in the department should have laughed at him and then called security to remove this obviously mentally defective being.
On the other hand, the german trademark-law for words requires the violating use of a trademark to be exactly like the trademark, meaning caps, font, colour etc pp.
If you look through some of the alterations made to the page about EDGE games you can see how much hate Tim Langdell is getting.
It is quite clear that EDGE game's main income is from trademark disputes. Complete parasites all of them. Wish I had the correct bugspray to rid us of this putrescence.

That might be a good idea, yes.johnman said:
