craig

Just thought I kick off an anime thread. All stuff anime related, fav anime new releases, where to buy etc etc. Who has watched Samurai Chamloo yet ?

You can over come their crappy drm with a small piece of tape, it gets seen as a regular cd afterwards. Take that Sony. http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=136331

Maybe you should have waited a bit, rumour has that the new intel ibooks will be unveiled in January/February and will be cheaper than the current models. My mac mini arrives tomorrow and have been dropping hints to the wife to get the 20" cinema monitor.

:awesome: It's probably just me. Years ago when I was just starting as a pc techie my boss would always moan that I was not wearing an ESD wrist strap even when doing something trivial like checking a ide cable, so it became a running joke about wearing them.

It could also be to do with Solar flares or static build up. Always remember to wear an anti-static wrist strap when reinstalling Windows.

Yippie Kay-Ay motherfucker! Team America was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time.

There is no evidence that god does or does not exist ( in any religion ) yet people still believe. Should we laugh at them too ?

Ghost's exist ! On a more serious note, I do believe. I think it's easy for people to just laugh it off or make fun about it.

He is an American attorney that hates the video games industry. Calls violent games killing simulators and blames games for school killings. Read the wiki on him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(attorney) And I am sure this is not nearly the end of this story.

This story is moving fast, for those that have not been keeping up. Jackie boy sent a fax to the Seatle police asking them to arrest Penny Arcade employees for harassment. They have replied on their site and have the original letter he faxed to the police. Jack Thompson, you are a fucking knob !!!

It seems he annoys everyone not just gamers. http://www.livejournal.com/users/gamepolitics/106779.html

Who is he fighting first ? Incontinence, arthritis or cataracts ?

I dont see any ads so I guess adblock in Firefox is removing them.

Go and read some the posts by Jordan in the other threads and you will understand Schpickles comments.

No way would he pay, it's all just a publicty stunt. I guess that developing a game costs alot more than $10,000 so why would any games studio do it just so that he can donate ten grand to a charity. What a fuckwit. Just found this. http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2005-10-12

The guy is a complete looney. http://www.aelon.net/2005/07/jack-thompson-straw-man/ http://www.vgcats.com/jack.php http://web.archive.org/web/20010416002606/http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a39719ca95afa.htm http://croqaudile.com/?article_id=10299 http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3141144 http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/02/24/tech/gamecore/main676446.shtml

Jack Thompson is a douche bag He's spent a career building bank on back woods kind of bible thumping and book burning logic. In 1989 he was responsible for the first decency fines ever levied by the Federal Communications Commission-- he led the 2 Live Crew federal obscenity trial, which resulted in the first verdict in United States history to find a sound recording to be obscene. Granted it was in Dade County, Florida, but still. And along with his buddy Charlton Heston (of NRA fame), Thompson persuaded Time Warner to pull "Cop Killer" from Ice T's 1992 Bodycount album. So I'm writing this op/ed piece for http://www.gamershell.com/ about videogames and violence, because Thompson renewed his crusade last week by suing Sony, Take Two (publisher of Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City), Gamestop and Walmart for $300 million. He's saying they all played a roll in training Devin Thompson to go on a carjacking kill spree in June of 2003. Devin Thomposon is accused of killing 3 cops. Jack Thompson, the douchebag right-wing attorney, has a Web site where he urges people to contact him about violent video games. So I emailed him to try and get his side for the story I was writing. Here's the exchange: ----- Original Message ----- From: shaunmccormack To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 6:11 PM Subject: interview questions Jack, I'm working on an article about video game violence. I've read alot about your crusades against video games and the Devin Thompson trial and wanted to get you to clarify your position for me. With Thompson, do you believe that he would not have committed these murders had he not played these games? Is there a law in Alabamma that forbids retailers from selling M-rated games to minors? Do you have as much of a problem with less realistic violence, like with games from the 1980s? What about Dungeons and Dragons, which was demonized in the 80s and blamed for several youth murders and suicides? What about violent sports game simulations; hockey, football, boxing, wrestling? How much consideration do you give to the idea that the responsibility for shielding kids from violence should lie with the parents instead of game developers or retailers? I need to get this story in over the next few days, so please email me back soon. Feel free to call me at 201-239-0449 if you need more details.

I'm writing about Devin Thompson and the three officers he allegedly killed. In your opinion, don't these people fall under the umbrella of "someone harmed as a result of violent entertainment"? Why are you resorting to personal attacks? ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Thompson To: shaunmccormack Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2005 4:36 PM it says if you are harmed. bug off

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Those are hideous.

Champloo is amazing, I loved the ending. Great series and hopefully they could do another. Will buy the box set when it comes out.

Its old news man, check out labs.google.com for other cool projects google are doing. Google is the future :wink:

The father is my favourite character.

Just starting to get into Bleach, got all 53 episodes but have only watched up to ep 12 or 13. The action is ok but I really enjoy the humour. The episode with the tv medium was fantastic. bwawahahaha
