[Keyser Soze]

I am all fizzled out, yo dizzle!

 

[Slo]

Good. I was in the beta and gave them very negative feedback.

 

[fennec fox]

Man, I think I wrote a feature on this game for EGM back in like April of 2004. Maybe before that, actually, now that I think about it.

OH MY GOD!!!

Jack Thompson is elated at the delay:

Indeed, Miami attorney and self-described "anti-game crusader" Jack Thompson is claiming victory in Eidos' decision. On Saturday GamePolitics reported Thompson's assertion that a 25 to Life lawsuit was imminent. This morning, Thompson released the text of a letter that he sent to Eidos' new CEO on September 15th. It reads, in part:

"I have been retained by a major charitable organization which represents surviving loved ones of law enforcement officers who have been slain in the line of duty...This organization and its members are extremely concerned that your company is set to release...what amounts to a "cop killing simulator."

...My clients intend to stop Eidos from releasing the game by legal action which we shall file very shortly...By the way, this is not a good time for the video game industry, given the video game bill that is on the California Governor's desk, for your company to be targeting cops in this fashion."

Where was he when 187 Ride or Die came out? Hell I'd be celebrating if he got that piece of shit delayed....

I'm just surprised Thompson spelled a big word like "Governor" correctly.

Buddy of mine at Avalanche says this idiot had nothing to do with the game getting delayed.

 

[Kobold]

Cancelll itttttttttttt!

 

[Ranger X]

I don't care about the game but Jack Thompson, he's such a clueless dude it's unbelievable.

 

[Matlock]

You can't stop the BROCOM!

Thanks, Rockstar. You empowered the little fucker, now he won't ever stop.
