About Me
Tons of long hours of gaming on my 360, Wii, PS2, DS, Mac, PSP, Dreamcast, PS1, N64 and anything else I can get my hands on. I like shooters, but RPGs are where my passions lie. I will play just about anything though, unless its a sports title. Sports titles are okay, but I'd prefer to either play the sport IRL or just ignore it altogether. Also, racing games blow. Keep them away from me. Unless its Mario Kart. I know, it's cliche' and childish, but racing just seems boring to me unless I can shoot shells at people. I firmly believe that NASCAR would not suck HUGE if they implemented this. I'm definitely a huge tabletop gaming nerd as well.

Also, cocks.

My Gamertags:

PSN: PowerOfShazam
XBL: PowerOfShazam

Sense a pattern here?

Jack Thompson Goes After Moms Now?
CaptainApocalypse | 8:46 PM on 05.04.2008 15 comments


In one of his more colorful moves, Jack Thompson sent a letter to Take-Two Executive Strauss Zelnick damning her as a terrible mother and, by extension, awful human being. In his letter, he quotes several scripture verses, claiming them to be related to Passover, about child rearing and them promptly questions how well she adhered to them. This is after, of course, he mentions that he was on 60 Minutes discussing the "pornography" that her son is "putting into the hands of other mother's children". What he never brings up is the fact that kids are not allowed to buy this game without an adult present. He merely mentions the website not having age verification. Tell me, how can one be trained on one of these "murder simulators" just be reading about it/seeing video? That would imply that videos themselves could convey such ideas! I guess Mr. Thompson should take issue with the Movie business, too. In any case, give the letter a read for yourself here. It's times like these that remind me of the McCarthy hearings back in the day. Someone needs to stand up like Joseph Welch did and say,"You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

he seems to present an argument with strong words and little truth to back it up, but when i listened to the latest podcastle, i was this close to strangling my monitor.

he's a loathsome human being that doesn't have the "causation" to make his arguments anything but worthwhile.

to sum up: he's a douche. and the fact that this goy is trying to use someone else's religion against them is sheer lunacy.

Damn it, Reaprar, I thought I'd stumbled upon some good info.

He’s now dead because a teenaged boy unwittingly trained himself to kill him on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

That is the line that sums thompson up for me. His deluded belief that the kid would of grown up perfectly normal if it wasn't for the fact that he played GTA and it messed with his mind. Look look at the brain scans he will cry when they finally drag his crazy ass of to the asylum.

He went after his Mom?

Awhile ago I had some small flashes of respect for Jack.

@ the GAMEGOBLIN

You have a point. I know a gentleman, who shall remain nameless, who was able to make rather convincing looking documents in our beloved MSPAINT. Perhaps, I should consider a new banner...

The thing that confuses me about Jack is that he allowed on TV.

I mean even to someone who is against Videogames, his facts are so Blatantly wrong!

"This would be in following with a prior settlement that prevents Mr. Thompson from contacting Take-Two, unless he does so through legal counsel."

So yeah, he is even more crazy that what he sounds on the podcast... tracing dendrites, tracing dendrites! I just love that part.
