Thompson and 2K Come To Blows Over Manhunt 2
GamePolitics is serving up email transcripts that show increasing tension between Jack Thompson and 2K Games. The two parties have been acting at least vaguely civilly towards each other since an April settlement. A taunting, factually incorrect email from Jack to 2K (and other parties) has set things off again. 2K's response is to-the-point: "We demand that you cease making these false statements about our online sales practices. Your dissemination of knowingly false statements for the purpose of adversely affecting Take-Two's business is actionable and we reserve all of our rights under the settlement agreement and state and federal law. Not only are your statements clearly false, but they were made in an email publicly disseminated to both the FTC and the press. Please be assured that I am happy to answer any questions you have concerning our practices in a private communications. It is for this very reason that our settlement agreement designates a legal contact for you at Take Two."
I read the title and though Thompson had decided to go the Uwe Boll route and challenge his 2K critics to a boxing match. Watchout for 'is right, Rocky!
Demented But Determined.
Crap, you can't post a headline like that! I read the article excitedly expecting Jack Thompson and someone at Take Two to have literally come to blows! I was popping the popcorn to munch on while watching the video of it on YouTube!
This Friday just keeps getting better and better!
Jack Thompson is a media-whoring nut job who will stop at nothing to pander to to his... to his... well, whoever he panders to. The only surprising thing about this ordeal is that it hasn't reached critical mass already.
You could make him the victim in a murder mystery. The list of suspects would be long. Call it 'Who cares whodunnit.'
Game companies should start paying him consulting fees for PR services or listing him as an asset on financial reports. A thank you card would be good, as would a fruit basket. Make his brain explode.
She looked up at him, and asked, "And what of Jack Thompson?"
"He will continue to be my implacable enemy, lending his pen to every plot against me."
She started to reply, but caught herself as a sudden realization struck. "And how will you repay him for this service?" she asked.
He smiled. "With gold, and land, and boys. He is a simple man. All he desires are land, and gold, and boys."
With apologies to George R. R. Martin
.It may not be just, but it is fair, and that is more important.

I say it was the geek, in the basement, with a CD-ROM that was snapped in half.

The challenge would be to prove which of the (many) confessions is false; the harder a confession is to discredit, the higher your score. The game would end with you presenting the murderer a soup-plate medal, a 22ct gold pistol, and the names and addresses of the RIAA's directors (so plenty of scope for sequels).
