Forums - Gaming - Thompson and Son Take a Break From Gay Porn to Buy Another M Rated Game

This time they set their naughty eyes on Halo 3 and Target.  Was anyone else more surprised that they were able to casually walk into Target and find Halo 3?  I thought that game was supposed to be hard to find or something.

I have Jack Thompson fatigue...

Using his kid for his stupid, pointless agenda is so wrong. So a few stores in southern Florida didn't check if his son was 17...whoopee...

The sad thing is his kid probably doesn't get to play the games...he probably has to sit and watch as crazy Jack burns the games in his fireplace.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

And then Master Chief and all his friends burned in hell for using guns. Sleep well son. (vague Simpsons reference in there)



The saddest part is he'll try to blame Microsoft and Bungie while forgetting to mention that Target was the one selling the game. I wonder what he's going to do when his son turns 17, move to luring kids in the parking with candy to get them to try and buy the game?



Where the hell is he doing this? I was 19 with a beard and I got carded to buy Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust at a Wal Mart, and I live in florida... same with Twisted Metal Black, and any other R rated movie I buy. I'm 22 with a way bigger beard now, and I got carded to buy a lighter at a gas station....

The fact is, anyone under 17 can't buy an M-rated game, unless the store employee screws up or doesn't care.

He should be going after stores, trying to change the consequences for selling M games to minors...even though that's pretty much impossible. But if he's gonna go all crazy about this...that's all he can do...whining to game companies won't do anything at all.

Of course he won't try to go for any store policy reform...he'll just try to get Halo 3, Manhunt 2, whatever flat out banned from stores...and that's just ludicrous.

Misleading title. I doubt his son had anything to do with submitting gay porn to a judge.

Also lol, Joke Thompson.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

That's exactly what he's been doing. All of the recent (failed) court cases he's been involved with were about states attempting to criminalize the sale of violent video games to minors. The reasons that's a problem are a whole other debate, though.
