*shakes head*

You know, just when I have to give him a little (and I do mean little, let me put emphasis on that) credit for being right about one thing*....he goes and pulls a tactic like this.

What on Earth is wrong with this man? I mean I realize he has a vendetta against TakeTwo over the games and that's his basic push...but this has gone into "I just want to see you destroyed haha! They're coming to take me away haha!"


*= In GTA (I forget which version, might be the most recent) there's a subplot where you have to go to a Lawyer's office and kill him. The lawyer looks an awful lot like Thompson, and it's not hard to figure out that the Lawyer's most likely based on Thompson. It also doesn't help matters that this appeared after all the tirades he's pulled in the past. I, too would be understandably upset about such a thing, especially when people use games as an excuse to kill people, they could even come after him.

this kind of shoots the hole in my theory that He is really a Take Two Employee which main goal is garner publicity for there games.

It really IS the reverse apocalypse!
EDIT:
-Sound the alarms the big bad witch at last is dead!
*ding dong the witch is dead...*

If he really does go to jail, then I'm going to go out in the streets and sing "seize the day!"

it's in GTAIV. Thompson attempted to get the game a cease&desist order for improper use of his image. I hope the court accepts a plea of "Mr.Thompson, get over yourself." He pulled the same thing on MK:A upon hearing of a Thompson character in the game. Too bad for him that was a kreate-a-character made by an independent gamer.



there may be a method to this latest issue though. Notice this paragraph:
What he has apparently succeeded in doing, however, is seriously upsetting the judge who must decide the merits of Thompson’s attempt to block the Florida Bar from taking action against his license to practice law.


If he gets the judge angry enough, he can file that the judge's view is skewed against him and get any decision thrown out of or appealed.
