Michael Atkinson Steps Down

[Quiet Stranger]

Am I the only person worried that this is the start of something awful?

What if the next guy is even worse?

Destroy one evil and something worse will take it's place. So I vote we put him into a vegitive state and freeze him.

Bah, joking. Who could be worse?

..Don't answer that.

I don't think that's necessarily true, no one replaced Hitler! Also for the topic this is great news for Australia

Not yet anyways

Ah. I kid, This is what you get for learning your philosophies from Jackie Chan adventures.

I miss that show, also what philosophie is that? Also if its the one you said before what episode was it

The one where jade destroys the evil dragon statue.

It's been so long I dont even remember that

 

[brunothepig]

Just as planned *Death note music*

So yeah, win for Australia.

The first theme, or the others by Maximum The Hormone? Good band them. Anyway, *pinches* Holy shit, this is real.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They're still stuck with him for 4 more years, albeit to a lesser degree.

Not if we knock him out and fire him into the sun... Just a suggestion.

 

[Jedifreak]

I never thought I would actually be thankful for soccer.

Well after defeating Topmson and Atkinson, who is the gaming community going to fight next? (It seems like it gets worse with every knew foe)

Switzerland, from the sound of things... To arms, brethren!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems after we fight the Swiss were going to fight south Korea....

The war never seems won, does it? Ah well, my sword's still sharp and I can yet swing a blade. It is with great hope my children (when I have some) will not have to weld my weapons in the future and may enjoy their games in peace.

 

[Kingjackl]

I hate it when people compare Tompson to Atkinson, since Tompson wasn't really a threat so much as a clown we could all sit and laugh at.

Oh yeah, and Atkinson's successor is apparantly an R 18 supporter! http://twitter.com/chris4croydon/status/10968396878

 

[Spiner909]

That's kind of embarrassing for the kid, not him. Wonder what will happen now.
Hurrah! The tyranny is over!

 

[ssgt splatter]

So...who here thinks Yahtzee is going to mention this in his next review?

Congratz aussies, I hope you get you R-18 rating so that you don't have to buy any cut down versions of games.

 

[Warped_Ghost]

Since I'm Canadian this doesn't affect me but congratulations to you Australians gamers out there.

 

[SpAc3man]

I shall be getting drunk for you happy fuckers over the ditch there in your flat dusty country. Congrats from New Zealand. Dont expect it often if at all.

 

[little.09]

WOOOO! time for a pants off pary

 

[Skreeee]

*starts up chorus of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead[i/]*

 

[Terramax]

"So I resolved that every time Johnno walks on the pitch this year his dad is going to be there even if it embarrasses the hell out of him."

I can't imagine Johnno could get any more embarrassed from having MA as a father.

This is good news in any case.

I believe that there can only be one response to this that accurately sums up the feelings of the gaming community.

[The Stonker]

Now this is a great day for all gamers around the world!
Which we triumphed over that evil,treachourous,disgusting devil!
Now cheer and bring out the rum

"Yarr harr fiddley dee"

 

[Voodoomancer]

It was as if a million gamers cheered at once...

No wait, that's what actually happened.

I believe that there can only be one response to this that accurately sums up the feelings of the gaming community.

I see you and raise.

 

[Endocrom]

Stepping down to spend more time with his son. Dammit! why did you have to go and humanize yourself? Now I can't hate you!

 

[Ericb]

May he be a better, more caring and lenient father than he was a public representative of the Australian people.

 

[The Zango]

I imagine the streets of Australia resemble the final scenes of the last star wars (cant remember its name offhand)

 

[kotorfan04]

In other news Atkinson has announced that he is close to perfecting his machine that would suck all the fun and enjoyment out of the world.
I would say that it couldn't end this easily but then I am an American and if Atkinson leaves I won't be able to name a single attorney general in Australia.
