...for messing with my favorite videogame series.
Kidding. That was actually in bad taste, and here's why. Screenwriter Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) is sitting in the slammer for causing a traffic accident in Southern California, says Comingsoon. The recently appointed Silent Hill 2 screenwriter plead guilty of gross vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving for a fatal accident that he caused last year. It was reported that he was driving over 100 mph. Drunk and that fast? That's scarier (and sh*ttier) than any horror game adaptation I've seen.
For those that aren't looking forward to the movie, this could be a blessing. This could actually delay the movie. I'm looking forward to the film, so I'm hoping that Avary will work from his cell in jail. They get pen and paper, right?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Once again I still think the way this website handles this shit is in poor taste. If you want to be a Dick ala Dick McVengeance post it in your own blog instead of making it a Destructoid article.
Also, if I remember rightly, he killed his wife and his friend, along with his wife.
It is the reason, along with Jim's inane professional trolling (see his little video-game griefing videos for ultimate proof), that this site continues to be the most worthless gaming site on the internet.
@pappadukes - Seriously? You fucking idiot. How is making light of it a good thing? I don't think Deny Everything was saying what Avery did was right in any kind of way. Stop reading what you want. He was pointing out that two wrongs don't make a right.
I believe you mean 'stop skewing other peoples words'. Personally I'll read whatever I damn well want. Additionally; if you don't like the site why post on it? I'd call you a troll but prat sticks better.
Why are you here? You fucking idiot.
Not that I need to give you an explanation to either of you, but I come here and post here because there is some actual good stuff. The Rev and a few others are on track. Too bad I have to sift through 40 articles by Jim's troll ass to get to them. Ah well.
@the1one
"...two wrongs don't make a right."
No, that's correct. You and the fact that your trolling here doesn't make anything right.
Maybe he can write on toilet paper or tattoo it all over himself.
He can always sneak a pencil and paper in "suppository/mule style".
No worries, he'll find a way.
@the(something or other...)
First of all it's spelled "AVARY (caps accredited to Dale North)", therefore I cannot take you seWiously (ignores here on out). But yeah post what you like (mind the rules and your own trolling as well - Your own trollish words: "..this site continues to be the most worthless gaming site on the internet").
- You needs to respect (the tomfoolery). So unfriendly this guy...
"WHY... SO... SERIOUS?" HAWP version. *eats your cupcake*
He didn't kill innocent people like he went crazy and shot up a mall. He got drunk and went driving with his wife and friend. It just so happened that he then got in an accident. His wife was thrown from the car receiving non-life threatening injuries and his friend died. He's an asshole sure, but he didn't go out to kill Andreas. All three of them ruined their lives by deciding to drive home after the party. Two of them have to suffer the consequences of that and one is being punished for that.
These are points that Dale failed to mention in a shoddily written blog post. 2 paragraphs just to write a joke does not a front page article make.
@Dale
Thanks for changing the picture. My argument before still stands though. This article is still in poor taste, but now it's not as direct.
@The Amazing Shenazin: I thought the same thing! Although, I still wouldn't want to be in the same car as the people who created Pyramid Head.
I can take the piss out of badly formatted names 2too), and you're correct what I proffered does mean the same as what you wrote - only in a more accurate/concise manner.
I also like how Destructoid has gone from the 'most worthless gaming site' - to having some 'good stuff'. Additionally perhaps you can' read correctly but I never said you shouldn't post here, I merely questioned why you did.
