Jack Thompson tells gamers "Go to hell"

Post » Wed Sep 08, 2010 6:55 pm

Well the video gamers' antagonist is back in the spotlight after telling people who were opposed to renaming the Taliban in Medal of Honor to "Go to Hell", and "I win again, as usual." He also said this is a big personal win for him even though he had nothing to do with it.. Thats right lets make it personal, because that is totally the right thing to do...

Yep, and as with all trolls its best to just ignore him. The more worked up people get the more the media will cover him.

Well, he has all the rights to be angry about us. I mean, with our persistence to play evil and mind warping brutal games, and still defying him by acting as if we were not changed at all, we cost him his job. It was the only thing he had to get attention! ^_^

He's probably never played a single game in his life, so his opinion means nothing.

Well yeah when you put it that way i hope people do, and i am sure people will. Like the story said, he hasn't had any coverage for over 2 years almost and it is only when he starts trying to pick fights that he gets any attention. I just dont like that people will attack one type of violence instead of just violence in general. How many gamers do you see doing drive-bys or robbing stores... none i would like to think. (i know bad comparison but still, gamers a generally some of the nicest people you can meet, just look at our community.) :disguise:

I am sure you too have opinions about things you don't know the least about, so shouldn't they mean something?

I think its funny that, with as much as he claims gamers are angry, violent people, that he's constantly spouting profanity and acting like a child.

You know, I do sort of agree with alot of things he says, (not to be a troll or anything) and kind of saw his side a little bit, but now he's telling gamers to go to hell. Now I'm kind of mad at this dude.

I refuse to click the link because I don't want to give the article about him or him undue attention.

"Any gamers that don’t know how to get to Hell on an expedited basis, let me know, and I’ll send along the cheat code to get there more quickly"

Damn, I wish I could troll as good as this guy, he just makes it look so easy.

I find it funny that Jack told the gamers who didn't know how to get to hell should ask him. He would know how to get there.

Jack Thompson confuses me. I saw his panel at SGC in 09 I believe (Online obviously) and he was so polite, sensible and nice. He took the gamers questions and answered them like an advlt. He was even funny for gods sake, what's going on? Did I end up in the Twilight zone?

He had everyone's attention, he didn't need to act up anymore. That's a mental disorder, if only I could remember the name...

Would be nice if there were moderators in the real world that could shut these trolls the hell up. Jack Thompson is the most annoying person to me next to that freaking Reverend Al Sharpton.

Thanks to Jack Thompson, we don't need a "Cheat Code" on how to "Go to hell", we have his life story as the walkthrough.

Rockstar are gonna rip him to shreds in GTA: V. They already did that subtle thing in IV. After this..

Put Jack Thompson, Solid Snake, Samus, and Master Chief in the same room together. If they make a game like that, Im getting the Limited Edition, the Regular Edition, and the inevitable GotY Edition..

Edit: I just thought I would throw this in there, I made it myself . Let's hope he sees this. http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab344/Holy_Assassin47/09102010291.jpg?t=1286571465.
