Jack Thompson Threatens Gabe Newell Over School Shooter Mod - Polidicks

[QUOTE=lolnubs;28646562]Crap, i'm expecting Jackoff to send me a "threatening E-mail" because i'm part of a mod devteam :ohdear:[/QUOTE] [I]If he does make sure to post his email adress for all of your caring fans, bud.[/I]

[QUOTE=Ninjarooster;28645781][b]big cheese, Gabe Newel[/b][/QUOTE] Lol. Just set the release date of Episode 3 back a month.

I wish, just once, a major industry player would entertain a response to someone like Thompson in way a man of his caliber truly deserves. [i]Dear Mr. Thompson; nah, not gonna do that Sincerely, Gabe Newell.[/i]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOWKbPDRdKw[/media] FINALLY GET TO USE THIS!

Gabe has more money and could physically crush Jack Thompson if he wanted to. I'm not worried about this.

Haha, I forgot all about this guy.

oh god lmao I was wondering when that mod was about to get some media attention actually better response than I imagined :xd:

[QUOTE=Squarebob;28647085]I'm going to murder Jack Thompson. [editline]17th March 2011[/editline] Cops better not show up.[/QUOTE] Quiet, you; that's exactly what he wants :ninja:

What is this mod Sounds fun. What's everyone getting worked up about? Much better to shoot up a school of pixels than a school of students.

sorry guys

In response, Gabe has eaten Jack Thompson, after telling him to "Cry some more".

[quote][B]Given the constant attacks from mainstream media against videogames for portraying violence, why would you give these fanatics more ammunition to dismiss games as childish at best and harmful at worst?[/B] Because that's exactly what games are. The media is right to dismiss games as "bang-bang shoot 'em ups" and "murder simulators," because at their core, that is exactly what most games boil down to. Take [I]Bulletstorm[/I], for example: It is pretty much the full embodiment of what the media assumes games to be. It's humor is crude, it's writing is dumb, and it's gameplay is ultra-violent. And that is [B]exactly[/B] what makes it so appealing, not only to adults, but also to kids.[/quote] wow the creator of the mod is not only trolling everyone but he's also making an artistic statement genius

Getting pissed at the head of the company who made the game that was then modded is stupid. It's like getting mad at the bowl company because your soup tastes bad.

[QUOTE=thisispain;28647181]wow the creator of the mod is not only trolling everyone but he's also making an artistic statement genius[/QUOTE] It's like how Postal is used as ammunition for anti-video game politicians when the game itself is basically a big "Fuck you" to anti-video game politicians.

the best part is that the mod is barely complete and, at this point, people are flipping out over a name. we had so much more planned: actual models, a scoring system (2x swat multiplier!), etc. we haven't even gotten any code in.

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;28647241]"We"?[/QUOTE] multiple people are "working" on the mod, including myself.

[quote]"Dear Mr. Newell: You either know or should know that the more moral midgets who run Checkerboarded Studios have created a mod for your company's Half-Life which they call School Shooter: North American Tour 2012. This mod is a full-blown Columbine massacre simulator which cannot function without your company's assistance and acquiescence. Attached herewith is a letter from FHE-ASAP that expresses their, my, and others' concerns about this Columbine massacre mod. As you either know or should know, your Half-Life murder simulator was obsessively played, and thus became a training aid, for a) teenaged Robert Steinhauser, who authored at Erfurt, Germany, the worst school shooting massacre in European history, and b) Seung-Hi Cho, who authored at Virginia Tech University the worst school shooting massacre in world history. As to the latter, the sources of this information are the Washington Post and the New York Times. Now some sociopaths have made reprises of Erfurt and Virginia Tech far more likely. Given the fact that your company has the technological ability to stop the operation of School Shooter, you must undertake steps immediately to do so. Speaking for myself alone (for now), you have until five o'clock pm Eastern standard time this Friday, March 18, 2011, to shut down this public safety hazard I predicted years ago this school massacre game would arrive. I hate being right all the time. GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY. Regards, Jack Thompson"[/quote] [img]http://gyazo.com/2cede39cf7bbe842886b9e94a81c35c8.png[/img]

Calling him a troll is just an insult to trolls everywhere. [editline]16th March 2011[/editline] Oh hey and you guys that are working on this mod, shoot me a PM when you're done.
