Sir_NutS Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Let's face it, the guy is smart, he found a way to turn his crappy lawyer skills into something good. He should make a book or something for people who suck at what they do but still want to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz the Cat Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 He's like one of those yappy little dogs. You know the ones that stand in the middle of the street and ferociously bark at the bus coming towards them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroBass.Exe Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Oh God, another JT page. Great, I thought the old bastard was finally dead, since I haven't heard his BS in a while. Now I'm sad again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStar Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Don't forget. He's been using his own son in "stings" against stores, trying to "prove" that kids can go in and buy M-rated games(BioShock and Halo 3). Of course, he's giving his kid the money, and the permission, to go buy the games. So there's honestly nothing at all wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's honestly nothing at all wrong with it. No, you're missing the point. His son is going into a store and buying the game with no adult supervision in sight. The cashier is selling M-rated game to a minor without asking for any kind of age verification. The cashier has no idea if permission was given or where the money came from. That's the point Thompson is trying to prove; that retailers don't really care that much about carding kids for video games. In my experience (working as a cashier at Target many many years ago), such a thing was not far from the truth back in the day. Might be different now. Real issue is, look at it from a statistics point of view. Sample size of 1? Kind of a worthless "sting" if you ask me. If he had hundreds of kids all over the country doing secret shopper type stuff, it'd be a bit more substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The link about him supposedly being in GTA4 had a really funny response that needs to be posted here: E. Zachary Knight Says: September 18th, 2007 at 10:01 am Wow! Just Wow! Jack reads Game Informer. I thought he only trolled the internet...

It's just "Recommended" that they not purchase or play them. Most stores try to keep with that for consumer image, but nothing is really there requiring them to.

SilverStar Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Is that a state law thing? Because I am carded quite often when buying games/movies. It's a guideline and nothing more. MPAA and ESRB are unable to make them into laws, because that would break some sort of constitutional right or something. However, the individual stores have the right to refuse, as part of their terms of service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Samus Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I agree that underage kids should not be buying Violent materal (games , movies, etc.), but I have been a strong believer in Parents should control what their kids play. I understand why Jack did what he did, but the guy as gone fucking mad. Most stores I go to (I live in IL) do card younger kids, or will tell them they are not old enough. Actually one time a parent walked into a gamestop with her son. Her son looked about the age of 10-12. He wanted Leisure Suit Larry, Magna Cum Laude and the gamestop employee said "oh that game is not for kids. It's very perverse". The mother didn't have a clue about games but thanked the gemtleman for helping her out. So it just goes to show you that not every employee ignores policies.

The Coop Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Actually, it was Sega that caused 9-11 with Propeller Arena. Why do you think it was "canceled", hmmm? They didn't want the US government to get a hold of the evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical Hit Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 In my recent studies, I have discovered something that ALL criminals have in common: They consume both food and water. Yes, that's right. If we take these things away from our children, crime as we know it will stop completely, leading to a safe life for us all.
