Here's a video (pops) of him trowing a hissy fit at one of his contempt hearings. Long, but worth the watch.

"Knowing Florida, this is prolly the only intelligent thing that will happen this millenium."

We do launch space craft out of the earth's orbit quite frequently. I get it, a lot of farkers hate Florida. That's why you are in Kansas or some miserable place and I'm here.

Probably the last "best thing" to happen to Florida were the Marlins beating the Yankees for the World Series in 2003.

Back in the early 90s, Jack Thompson and I would play Street Fighter II at my dorm at FSU. He would always play Blanca, and try to win by using that electricity thing over and over. Well, that didn't work and I would own him with Chun-Li and it would make him crazy. He would switch to Zangief, Guile, Ken--it didn't matter. I would make him my biatch using that little, giggling, Chinese girl again and again. And, yes, I have to admit it-I would talk a little trash...

One day, after hours of a Chun-Li workover, he was about to lose it. I offered to switch characters, and I went to Dhalsim. Then I proceeded to school him all over again, and he finally cracked. I smacked him with that stretchy double punch and finished his Ryu off. He let out a roar, dropped the controller, and ran out of the dorm room screaming.

That was the last I saw of poor Jack. I didn't realize he was taking it so personally. I hope he's ok!

BravadoGT: offered to switch characters, and I went to Dhalsim. Then I proceeded to school him all over again, and he finally cracked.

Well, duh.

YOGA FLAAAAAAAME!

I work in the video games journalism industry, and I watched some of Chris Matthews when Thompson was on. Matthews was the ONLY person I have seen on TV actually question this guy's ideas and motives. I sent an e-mail commending Matthews although I never watch his show, and made sure to make a quick Yahoo account so that Thompson would not sue me should he get his hands on the e-mail. There is no question in my mind he would go after me after reading that e-mail, and it wasn't all that bad when it came to trashing Thompson.

And yeah, I had a lot of respect for Reno when she went on SNL to lampoon herself, but the Thompson story is 99x better.

Thompson apparently vandalized his own Wikipedia account with shiat like this:

"Anyway, what a lovely fiction site [Wikipedia] this is, where fictionalized accounts by biased people of a person they don't even know pass as facts. Bill Buckley once said that you can judge a person by his enemies. If that's true, then I must be one pretty cool dude."

Thompson tried to keep Bully off the shelves before it was even finished. Rockstar brought a copy of the game to the presiding judge and played through about 3 hours of it for him. The case was thrown out of the court right afterwards.

Thompson sent a vicious email threatening to sue Midway after a blogger made a Kombatant that looked like him (in reality, it looked like any other lawyer - but it's intent was indeed to be Thompson.) The Kombatant's style was "Legalise." Midway ignored the letter when it was sent about a year ago, and nothing has come of this since.

He got plenty of air time claiming the VT shooter played Counterstrike, even after the kid's roommate said he never witnessed him "training," let alone playing Counterstrike.

Now if you excuse me, I need to burn all my personal records and mvoe to Arizona so I don't get sued.

What Kind of hookers are we talking here?

Blues_X: This is like blaming Frigidaire because you can fit the chopped-up body of a prostitute in one of their freezers.

Trust me. That's not as easy as it sounds.
