[QUOTE="jaydough"] I'm pretty sure there's no option to kill yourself after a rampage in Counter Strike. :| jaydough

its been a while since i played cs, but im pretty sure that if you type kill or /kill (something like that) in the console, you die. just dont tell jack.

If he's from the matrix he can.

Jack Thompson is correct. Just check my sig, it tells all. That's the sig I signed up with. It's true, I play some video games and I went crazy MAD CRAZY. I now thirst for blood.

How do you reverse crazy? How do you reverse stupid? Is Thompson suggesting if we take all possible negative influences away from all of the potential homicidal morons they will be transformed into nobel peace prize winning super geniuses?

Well of course we need a scapegoat. I don't think im angry, im just really dissapointed...

I really wanna know what he thinks of the game Sinistar..

the dumb bastard is against all games, all video games!

Hal Halpin, head of the Entertainment Consumers Association, has issued a statement following the tragic events at Northern Illinois University, events which our dear old friend was so quick to seize upon and blame on videogames. The statement reads:

We'd like to extend our condolences to the families, friends and ****ates of those who were affected in the school shooting at Northern Illinois University. Separately, we are disgusted, but no longer shocked, to find that anti-game activists are again rushing to conclusions about what drove Stephen Kazmierczak, the clearly disturbed 27 year old who police say was responsible for this tragedy, to commit such an act.

Blaming video games for the behavior of the mentally-challenged is vile on many levels. And, as Generations X and Y mature, it is extremely likely that just about all of us have played at least one video game at some point in our lives. Drawing a parallel between games and violence without any substantive proof is sensationalism for its own sake. This is a sad event, made worse by the irresponsible actions of attention-seekers and the media that has given them a platform for their reckless venom.

I love how absolutely moronic Jack Thompson is. I bet if he could, he would blame teen pregnancy on video games.foxhound_fox

Why can't people just ignore him?GettingTired

uggghhhhhh, yet again...

I don't really care, nobody gave a crap about what he said before, they certainly won't now...

I'm pretty sure Mr. Thompson couldn't get past the first level of Tetris or something, and decided to let his rage out on video games.

Damn, why can't they extend his suspension of his law license for like, ever?

[QUOTE="GettingTired"]Why can't people just ignore him?CIoud_S

because people running for president are getting his stupid quotes and could cause major backlash

Did I mention the facepalm?

[QUOTE="Video_Game_King"]

[QUOTE="horgen123"][QUOTE="Video_Game_King"]So I guess 9/11 wasn't enough for him? He has to blame MORE things on video games. Bastard scum.Engrish_Major

No, he blames everything on video games. Hell, if he could, he'd blame slavery, the Holocaust, human suffering, and everything bad on video games.

Come on, everyone knows that the Holocaust was caused by video games.

Because Hitler got the idea from Call of Duty :roll:...

He does this everytime something like this happens. Its normal and totally expected from him and does NOT warrant a news story since everyone already knows its coming as soon as the bad event goes down.

Lets see he was part of the armed forces then got discharged = gun training

Lets see he was off his medication for his mental problems = goes nuts

Lets see he went and killed a bunch of people and shoot himself = video games to blame?

Jackie boy really needs to be stopped from taking advantage of this incidents in your country because its just pitiful that he uses the death of other people to promote his nazi propaganda.

Aww man who let it out of its cage? Get the leash and tazer we gotta put it back in get the tranqs in case he is immune the the tazer.SunofVich

Dont taze me bro!

That guy was 27.... freshgman

apparently.. the police hasnt been able to catch him yet,

[QUOTE="freshgman"]That guy was 27.... Dreams-Visions

And that's the first school shooting for 2008... Let's try not to break last years record of 2

Seriously but. I reckon Jack Thomson is in full knowledge that what he is saying is asolute dribble, and that everyone knows it. He only ever shuts up about it because he likes to look at ambulances while they're moving :P

Did anyone watch the video? Beneath his ugly face, it said "Jack Thompson, College Shooting Expert."

O RLY!?

jack Thompson went on FOX NEWS to report this!!!2apture-13ound
