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.

Jack Thompson, I'm begging you. Please stop it.
power-glove | 10:49 AM on 02.15.2008 24 comments


Apparently, Jack Thompson went on Fox News this morning, claiming once again that he is a school shootings expert. He went on to accuse videogames for playing a role in yesterday's NIU tragedy. Please stop, we don't even have all the facts straight and you still go and blame videogames. There is no need or purpose for this overreaction. You need to stop preying on people's fear to further your own demented causes.

He doesn't have any sources or proof. He's just assuming.

"school shootings expert" makes me sad. Anyone want his phone number so you can tell him what you think? I'll do it.

Blehman, Fox News gave him the coverage. There needs to be a response to his lies especially after the Mass Effect incident.

A) Fox news is ridiculous

and B) Why hasn't anyone looked at the fact it was in Chicago(ish), and Valentines day - whats to say he wasn't just reading some "history" on the massacre and wanting his piece - also the meds.

My post got eated on this. Oh well.

Fox News, however, is not openly reporting the games angle. They're saying the shooter was off his meds and that's why he did it.

Hey, I didn't say stop giving him coverage. I think he's a sad, lonely man trying to get Ann Coultier to date him, and he deserves the scorn of us gamers. I said "in before stop giving him coverage", and I was right.

Isn't there any one that blames movies anymore.

Why don't people just blame it all on marylin manson like they used too?

Haha, I love the first comment on the Kotaku post: “In related news the sun rose in the East this morning!!” The man speaks the truth.

My condolences to the residents of Illinois for this horrible day in American history. They will never hear the end of this for months to come.

someone should email JT and convince him to go after Bush & Cheney... That would put his cause into good use.

Seriously. Remember in the 80s when Jack the buttface and hillary clinton and tipper gore blamed hair metal for not understanding kids then??? Calling Judas Priest and fucking def leopard satanists????? How funny was that!!

Jack and pals serve a purpose that everyone seems to miss.....

Just think about it. There are ulterior motives here by the people that sign these peoples checks.
