About Me


Yo East Coast, where you at?

Hello, fellow D-toiders, my name is Andrew and I reside in New York City. It has been such an amazing experience being a part of this wonderful community. From my activities as a host of the Friday Night Fight events to becoming one of the community members responsible for handling the Destructoid NY group, coordinating East Coast meetups to helping the PAX meetup group, I have loved every minute of my time spent with this community.

Please hang out with other Dtoid members whether it would on the main site chat to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

My D-Toid Love Letter

Jack Thompson defends Mass Effect(I'm not kidding)
power-glove | 9:19 AM on 01.28.2008 35 comments


This was a conversation that Kotaku editor Brian Crecente and Florida lawyer Jack Thompson had.
"To: Brian
From: Jack
Immediate News Release - January 24, 2008
Grand Theft Auto IV to Be Released April 29; Culture War Begins Now

To: Jack
From: Brian
I like your new glasses.

To: Brian
From: Jack
Wow, as usual you're grasping the real news here.

To: Jack
From: Brian
I'm surprised you haven't been looking into Mass Effect.
http://kotaku.com/348692/ea-fighting-mad-about-fox-news-but-still-no-correction?cpage=2#viewcomments

To: Brian
From: Jack
Why would you be surprised. I don't see any problem with it. The guy who shot his mouth off about it had no idea what the Hell he was talking about.

To: Jack
From: Brian
You mean you're OK with mass effect?

To: Brian
From: Jack
Of course. This contrived controversy is absolutely ridiculous. Report that, why don't you?"
Ha! He called Cooper a man.

I read this earlier. Maybe after his psychological evaluation, he's a little less insane?

He's too busy trying to stop that evil Sims 2 to worry about Mass Effect. Maybe if you could beat the blue skinned lesbians to death with a crowbar he'd be more concerned.

Maybe he was thinking about Kevin McCullough when he said "the guy" or maybe one of the male panelist on the FoxNews report, like the guy that claimed it was "Luke Skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas".

Either way that is surprising as hell, and I am not somewhat scared, heh.

Well, when you take it all into account, he doesn't usually go after games like this. He prefers the "ultra-violent" types, the games where he can actually make a few valid if misguided points.

Mass Effect is harmless. He's not retarded.

GTA is pretty fucked up, though it shouldn't be censored.

Posted my thoughts in the other thread. Just wanted to say your banner rocks haha. Surprisingly fitting for the post, too.

Maybe we are running into the same issue and Jack hasn't seen the sex scenes yet. Someone might show him tomorrow and he'll make an apoligy on how he made the wrong opinion without seeing the game and that Mass Effect is an abomination.

I like how he thinks the guy is a dumbass because he is making such a big deal over something so small.

Because Jacky boy never does that, no sir.

I agree with EDS in that this isn't the type of game Jack usually bitches about, but I still find it surprising that he didn't at least criticized the "lesbian sex".

He's finally realized he can't win, and is seeking redemption. Way too fucking late.
