Mokong Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Ok sorry about the massive lateness of N-Europe Show #16 the Christmas season had the staff in a bit of a mess when it came to post-production, from emails mysteriously not being delivered to family occasions keeping us away from the matrix that is N-E. Anyway, number 16 is finally up, you can download it by right clicking and save as HERE The Hot Topic that was raised (though it being a week late maybe not so "hot" but I vowed in the podcast to post this, and i'm a man of my word) from the "recent" news story of Jack Thompson when he said he plans to "take down" Rockstar games. What is you opinion of Mr. Thompson's crusade against games and Rockstar? Do you think he might actually succeed in shutting them down? And if by some miracle he does, what effect may that have on the industry and where might Jack go from there? As always leave your comments in this thread and we could be reading yours out in the next episode of the N-Europe Show.
The Bard Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I think he's a bit of a knob. This simply comes as a failure to see games as an art form, I know that saying it seems a bit absurd, but thats what needs to happen. Why not go take down any of the countless hollywood studios that use superfluous brutality for absolutely no reason than to entertain? Pig.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 It would be funny if he got run over by a stolen car. Oh how I would giggle.
mcj metroid Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 The best thing is to ignore things like this.He won't win.people thought rock and roll and the beatles were a bad influence too and also the difference is THEY ARE MADE FOR ADULTS!Hence the mature/18 rating.If the kids get the games the parents are to blame........So blame the parents you chicken shit!we all know he wouln't do that so the fact is he doesn't really give a shit and wants his attension.Well he got that all right
Cube Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Isn't this the guy who also tried to ban The Sims? Also, someone should show him 2 of Rockstars latest games: Table Tennis, and Bully (which promotes anti-bullying), or whatever they changed the name to. I say: Let the creators of Lemmings live!
AshMat Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 He even aims at Bully, which is against bullies. I hope Jack Thompson gets killed by a Hitman addict. Ironic.
weeyellowbloke Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 The man's an arse. Pretty much sums it up.
Mundi Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 He even aims at Bully, which is against bullies. I hope Jack Thompson gets killed by a Hitman addict. Ironic. Nah that would be more like justice. Him being saved from a gun totting maniac by a hardcore gamer, thats irony
Ginger_Chris Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Seriously we just shouldn't give him the time of day. He's just a 2 bit lawyer throwing wild uninformed claims about for the sake of publicity. Lets not give him the attention he obviously craves.
