Accidental repost, please delete. Sorry.

Permanent disbandment

Hey Destin, I hope the next update you mention the major news mentioned on Game Politics about Jack Thompson and the possibility his *gasp* permanent disbandment with no way to reapply!

Also I love Hard News.

Awesome!

Great hard news guys! And the DS sueing person is pretty dumb lmao.

Great Hardnews!

Great Job Destin! And wooow Fanboy in the Dictionary? If they EVER put a definition of Xbox Fanboy, they should place a photo of you right next to it XD

Many have tried...none of succeded

It seems so many people try to sue nintendo..but it can't be done.

Yep! Remember the Universal

Yep! Remember the Universal Studios King Kong vs. Donkey Kong trainwreck?

enough

When will Jack Thomson just leave us alone?

Jack will leave us alone

Jack will leave us alone when he is in the grave. Maybe.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Jack rise from his grave and do two things: call for the boycott of all games that aren't "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" and eat brains.

Not even Hello Kitty is safe

Not even Hello Kitty is safe from Wacky Jacky, the man is a fuckin' loon.

Watch Anime Online

No. He'll allege that "Hello

No. He'll allege that "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" is subliminally telling young 'uns to bomb Pearl Harbor. Oh, and shoot up schools.

Nintensue

Man, Nintendo is getting sued up the ass, thats just not fair.

he looks pretty old maybe

he looks pretty old maybe he'll kick the bucket from stress soon!

seriously

lol...thompson just needs to quit, he's the god damn fruit, and then somehow blames it on someone else? this guys effin nuts.

Good old Jack Thompson...

Is there anyway he could not look like a jackass...What is this guys problem? The only thing he has got from attacking video games is awkward stares, angry 'fanboys' (oh yeah, word of the day), and countless insults at his expense... what a nutbar.

Good update Destin

Jack Thompson...

I think some people should go to Thompson's house and play the Mortal Kombat theme song until he comes out, and then egg him.

Lost to Craig on Dr. Mario 2:3 Rounds. Good game man.

LOVE IT DUDE

DON'T FIGHT... GO TO SCREWATTACK DUDE. THE DICTIONARY IS AWESOME!!!

fanboyism.

I hate Fanboys why add the word in the dictionary?This will just make people hates fanboys more...

jack thompson just needs to

jack thompson just needs to keep his fucking mouth shut. all in favor of stapling it shut for him say I.

Haha, Jack Thompson. Some times he does silly things.

Does he really justify his reasoning behind anything he does? I wanted to give the guy his fair turn and hear what he had to say, so I googled some of his cases. Yep, the guy's a lunatic.

FINALLY

Finally someone who tells off Jack Thompson for the utter idiot he is. You don't throw paper at spectators to the trial YOU ASKED FOR and say the judge is the one who needs psychiatric care. God he pisses me off.

Damn

Damn you jack tompson why wont you just die

I am loving having some news

I am loving having some news everyday, really helps the summer blues.

Poor Mr. Thompson, he is actually going insane. We all knew it would happen

Nintendo is dominating...

Nintendo is dominating right now in everything, that's why people want some of their money, which is a lot. But that was definitely an epic failure for that guy. First time PS3 was not an epic failure in hard news, but there's always tomorrow.

Good job guys! Jack Thompson

Good job guys! Jack Thompson is truly the douchebag to end all douchebags. However, isn't "xbox fanboy" two words?

how?

how nerdy am i if i watch hard news more than real news?

Jack Thomson

Jack Thomson should be the one to undergo psychiatric tests for the way he's been acting. (I think he might be crazy)

apparently he did undergo psychiatric tests

http://kotaku.com/5022949/thompson-calls-judge-raving-wild-woman-unhinge...

he apparently did pass some psychiatric tests, and he says "I underwent them and came through with flying colors."
What kind of lame tests were they making him do? He's obviously a madman, no need to be a psychologist to realize that.

Lol Jackass

Jackass! love it, yea he is one indeed. And Btw Thompson, quit complaining about video games....Asshole

How many times must he fail at life?

Honestly, how many times does he need to fail to realize he has become a failure? Give it up Thompson, just lie and die now, your so called crusade is over, people are realizing the difference between real life and fiction in politics. Your just living in your own dementia.

Error in either Hard News' source or mine about Nintendo Lawsuit

http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/nintendo-facing-patent-lawsuit-over-...

scroll to 4th to last paragraph. It states that yes the patent was updated in 2005, but the original patent was issued in 1995.

If this is the case, Nintendo will probably seek arbitration if the courts do not throw the case out.

I noticed a user said that

I noticed a user said that on gamepolitics.com but I read the pattent and didn't see anything that indicated he did it in 1995.

dustin

wow he told off thompson. he just put right in its face. thats what i love about dustin

Sorry mate but its not

Sorry mate but its not Dustin, It's Destin can you not read his account name? (hopefully you weren't joking)

lol or maybe you have a auto spell checker

Thompson

I know he's absurd and hilarious..
But can we place a moratorium on Jack Thompson stories, I just don't think he's worth anybodies time anymore. Especially that of the G1s

---------------------------------------------------------------
Just here for fun

I agree totally he is a

I agree totally he is a waste of my breath

relation

anyone else notice the correlation between Dan lungren (watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujv3cmNbTtM) blaming gang violence on Mortal Kombat and wacko jacko blaming it on GTA?

very hard news!

very hard news!

Another solid episode Daily

Another solid episode Daily Destin, good work. You know, I never get tired of hearing about Jack Thompson's antics in the news, an endless source of amusement.

Not smart

Insulting a judge, Mr. Thompson?
Tsk tsk tsk. Not smart.
I want to be there or at least see the video 500 times when someone hands JT his ass.

I don't know when I stopped hating you

But Destin, you've crossed over with a shiny APPROVED stamp now.

it's Tuesday and something's missing.....

Where is Colette ?!?

Yeah

JACKASS

Great Hard News!

Great video like always. Also, the DS lawsuit has to be the dumbest thing I ever seen.

The biggest douche on earth...

I hate Jack Thompson. I really really really hate Jack Thompson.
The guy is like the Ebenezer Scrooge of gaming. Why don't you go back to the 19th century, you douchebag. That judge should have sentenced him to a federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison for life.

what a douche

fanboys = fail (except for the screwattack team)
people who sue nintendo = fail
jack thompson = fail

Idiot....

Thompson just doesn't know when he should stop. Well, maybe he doesn't bother us anymore if he keeps going like that.

Mayby i should patent the sensor bar thing :).

So i can sue Nintendo that they use it in there Wii :D.

PRRT

I seud nintendo to, for making so many cool games on the 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, It reuned my social life, DAMN YOU NINTENDO! :D:D

fuck thompson

fuck thompson

The Dumbass of the year award goes to...

Jack Thompson!!! Achieved this award by being the biggest embarassment in law and by being mocked and ridiculed by every gamer alive. Come on down and claim your award jackie boy!

FUCK Jack Thompson!!!!

That douche needs to die... seriously!! He never knows when to shut his yapper.

That's amazing! That was a

That's amazing! That was a funny video. Useless knowledge that wasn't coming from Craig's mouth, a retard suing Nintendo, and a dumbass all featured in a video. What more could you ask for?

Jack is a dick

When will that asshole stop all his bull shit?
