Does he still have an account or did he get banned in some gamergate thread?
Well to be fair, I did. I liked that game! He's still a piece of dung. This is coming from a longtime Dbacks fan.

He was long gone as soon as he no longer had Reckoning to, erm, shill for.

I don't think he's banned. He just hasn't posted since 2012. Looks like he only ever posted in Amalur threads.
Nah, he told me to buy his game. I still haven't but probably will end up with it at some point.

Schilling has tainted one of the (if not the) greatest playoff runs in the history of Major League Baseball. If he had just kept his idiotic mouth shut he'd be a hero to a lot of folks. He's ruined that and Warren would wipe the floor with him if he's dumb enough to run (protip: he is).
I got it for like $5 or maybe less on PSN at some point. It's worth it.
I know right, people just want someone that is just as ignorant as they are.

Yeah it keeps hitting that price point in Steam sales. I'll end up with it at some point. I mostly just want to play the Legend of Dead Kel DLC since my name is Kel, which is what the PM was about.
They would run his ass out with pitchforks and torches

People think that politics inevitably leads to corruption. An outsider in their minds would not be as susceptible to that corruption. They're not wrong, but voting in outsiders won't accomplish what they hope to achieve (i.e. getting money out of politics).
I seriously don't understand the "I like him because he's NOT a politician" or "we need outsiders in the political sphere" talks. Why would I want an electrician to fix my toilet? I want people that know wtf they are doing. Not imbeciles like you who suggest such ridiculous things.

I don't understand why this is so laughable to you guys. He's a narrow-minded wealthy white guy with name recognition. Perfect GOP candidate.

don't know local politics over there, and I don't watch sports, do sports fans view him favorably there?

Unsatisfied with wasting other people's money on a failed video game project in which he was way out of his league, Curt Schilling now jumps on wasting other people's money on a failed political career in which he is way out of his league.
In Massachusetts?
As a Red Sox fan I will always respect schilling as a pitcher with the caveat of that last steal a payday contract.
As a compassionate human being I think New England should have booted him back to Alaska and completely washed our hands of him the minute he took the uniform off. Your not one of us Curt so stop acting like you are you human piece of shit that only has anything in life because you could throw a ball.

He'd have more success going back to videogames.

This is such a dumb notion. Only in politics do we have people wishing we had more candidates who don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Oh, let's use this gif
Thanks. Now I'm going to see that as "Curt?" instead of "her?" for the rest of my life.
Eh, I can understand it. Like for example, wouldn't it be nice if there were more science minded people informing policy? It could come from two ways, politicians who are more scientifically literate or people from academia coming into the political sphere. That's not to say it's the sole quality people should be looking for but I do think it's pretty weird how being a politician is a job unto itself. It's not to minimize how much work goes into it, just that we're talking about people trying to serve a wide variety of citizens.
Curt Schiling is fuck nugget who offers nothing for value but there are many other people who could.
Its as if people have just engorged on the notion that because if it looks easy to them they can just do it. I have yet in my entire life found anything that looked easy to be anything but.
The amount of ego and misjudgment people have especially when it comes to expertise is insane.
and they pay for it every time with experts when they fuck stuff up.
If Schilling simply spouted the traditional republican lies of trickle down economics, "personal responsibility," and the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation, then he may have had a long shot at holding office. He's Trump level crazy, however, so he can only win in the gulf coast states, no way in New England.

I don't think so. People in Mass. wised up to him a long time ago.
Against Martha Coakley, sure.

You mean that in an age of openly racist incompetent assholes, Curt would hear a calling?
No shit.

Well, the taxpayers of Rhode Island will still be responsible for financing his campaign.
It's okay to give handouts to the rich to squander. GOP 101.
I remember when Curt tried his hand at football commentary and said NY football fans were jealous of the Patriots.
Try again, Curt.
Didn't that work for Romney?

Pats fans are still super salty over Eli and the Giants besting them twice in the Superbowl.

Romney was the Governor.
