With gamers revelling in the news that every video game fan's favourite attorney has been formally sanctioned, GamePolitics has posted transcripts from the trial.

One part of his cross-examination for Alabama Judge James Moore really stood out: Thompson killed the judge's fax machine. That's right, the gloriously annoying and archaic communication medium couldn't handle Thompson's legal spam.

COPYPASTA:

JT: …You entered an order, though, saying that I couldn’t communicate with you any further.

MOORE: Directly to me or through my fax machine…

JT: Okay, and what was the annoyance that you had with that?

MOORE: Just fax after fax after fax after fax after fax after fax.

JT: Do you ever get communications by fax from other lawyers?

MOORE: Occasionally…

JT: What’s the cut-off on how many faxes?

MOORE: Oh, I don’t know. You reached it, whatever it is.

JT: Anybody else ever reach it?

MOORE: No… Not close… You ruined my fax machine.

JT: I ruined your fax machine?

MOORE: It quit.

JT: Did it.

MOORE: Yes.

JT: What kind was it?

MOORE: I don’t know. A cheap one.

This left me wondering, was Mr. Thompson inspired by a violent video game when he spammed Judge James Moore's fax machine to death?
