Jack Thompson Calls Kotick Out on Modern Warfare Comment

[Miles Tormani]

So, on an unrelated note, has anyone else noticed how often Jack likes to say something "flies in the face of" something else?

What happened to this guy to make him hate games

In his youth he wasted his $2 a week allowance on Space Invaders, Asteroid and Pacman, and got a zero in all of them all the time.

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

Ooh, the biggest douchebag in the games industry versus the biggest douchebag NOT in the games industry. Fight on!

Although I imagine the fight would pan out like this: Bobby Kotick would ring Jack Thompson's front doorbell and when Thompson answered, *****-smack him across the chops with a huge wad of cash, give Thompson his best "I'm the rich CEO of a highly successful company and you're nothing but a living joke" sneer and swagger off.

 

[Nouw]

Y'now what, Sooner or later Jack Thompson will sit down & play Call of Duty.

On that Day, He will become a Gamer, And we will all cry with laughter as he screams obsenities at the angry 13 year old.

I agree.

OT: What Insanum said.

I think im a lot safer playing games like Yu Gi Oh or final fantasy on my PS2 then throwing chainsaws into the air.

You... you play Yu Gi Oh!? My god. You're like the ticking time-bomb of sociopaths. Oh don't laugh, this is serious. One day it's putting your feet up and playing a few rounds of virtual card games, and it's satanic rituals and eating live puppies the next. You should move to some isolated mountain range to live out the rest of your life where you can't potentially do any serious harm to your loved ones.
[/sarcasm]

Yeah, Thompson is clutching at straws now. If they decided to ban everything with potentially addictive qualities, then they should ban food, and exercise [http://www.brainphysics.com/exercise-addiction.php].

 

[Enzeru92]

Oh come on now he's just grasping for anything now. He needs to shut up damn Troll

 

[Christemo]

and where back at the non-existing addiction thing. eh... just go home and suck on your fat, video-game hating wife and we´re all happy, Jack.

"My old boss, Sam Powers, taught me that if the other side talks long enough, they will give you all you need to win"

You're right Jack, like a certain disbarred lawyer who just couldn't keep his mouth shut and ended up being ridiculed by the Justice system.

You should see me when my life points are over 9000! (im sorry, i couldent help myself)

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

Wow, Jackie's still being given press time? I thought the world moved past him after his disbarrment.

Att-Kat-Man-in-a-Hat is where it's at now.

 

[samsonguy920]

Been a while since we heard from this guy. Did somebody pay him money to hold his breath for a couple months? If so, it did wonders for his hair if that photo is current.

I think I read it here actually, "Video games are this century's rock n' roll. They make kids belligerent to their parents and commit crimes."

I don't think we need to worry much about Thompson and Atkinson, eventually their generation will die off and ours will take their place ready to burn the next "rock n' roll" at the stake for corrupting the world's youth.

3D TV's, because they will just corrupt the youth with 3D pron.

What?

 

[Lord Krunk]

Are Atkinson and Thompson the same height? Because woe to us all if this happens:

 

[Snotnarok]

Wow Thompson, you have ammo against a man with an addictive personality, not an industry and a hobby you arrogant, mindless, obsessive jackass.

 

[duchaked]

Jack Thompson vs Michael Atkinson...
Place your bets.
OT: He's just doing it for attention. He's defending his reputation from Atkinson stealing it.
And I'd make a joke about cup stacking if my parents hadn't bought me a set of them for Christmas one year...

At present people still see Mr Atkinson as having credibility, but if you let the other side talk for long enough it will give you all you need to win.
Let the old bastard dig himself a hole.

well Atkinson is in a position with more power? oh dear

now imagine a game where you'd be able to create the enemies you fight, not just the avatar you control
someone would get the t-bagging of his life...

 

[Scrythe]

We should a learn a lesson or two from this man. Legends shall speak of Jack Thompson as a man you should strive to be the opposite of.

Remember children, never feel that you are useless. You could always serve as the bad example.

 

[Buizel91]

Jack Thompson (and Michael Atkinson) would not exist in a perfect world...

yes they would...we need at least one person to make fun of and throw tomatoes at =P

I have a better idea. Thompson and Atkinson vs. really hungry lions.

It really is quite galling that a man who was disbarred for misconduct is accusing someone else of perjury.

Good thing we have the Pacific Ocean between the two of them or we'd all be screwed.

OT: This old buzzard is still alive? Huh. I thought he died but I guess that would have been met with the yells of joy from millions of gamers, echoing until the end of time throughout the internet.
