From Jack

By Gabe – October 17, 2005

I thought you might like to see the mail I got from Jack this afternoon:

You Lose

By Tycho – October 17, 2005

It was only a matter of time until a mod team took Jack Thompson's disgusting revenge fantasy and made it flesh - and, just as I suggested, it was deemed insufficient.

Yack Thompson

By Gabe – October 17, 2005

Perhaps you read the letter from the National Institute on Media and the Family in which they distance themselves from Jack Thompson. Well Jack has responded to that letter with two letters of his own. He makes some vague legal threats which I have come to discover are sort of his bread and butter. You also get the impression after reading his letters that he believes he was cut loose simply because he is too “hardkore”.

Jack

My email sig had my phone number in it. Jack actually just called and screamed at me for a couple minutes. He said if I email him again I will “regret it”. What a violent man.

He didn’t say this because he doesn’t think that it matters to you guys but I think it’s important to mention that everyone is okay now. The baby is still in there cooking and doing baby stuff.

Trivial Addendum

By Tycho – October 11, 2005

We made a comic about it, but as I understand it there was an actual card sent to Kara on the topic. I suggested to Gabe that tab selecting enemies in that scenario was probably unwise, and he gave me a look that told me he'd had this conversation already, with someone else. Perhaps recently.

Heartfelt Sentiment

By Gabe – October 10, 2005

I was on my way into the office this morning when Tycho called me. He told me he would be coming in late today and he asked me to let you all know that his post would also be late. The reason he gave for his tardiness was acceptable so I suggest we all cut him some slack.

We Were Playing The Second Digital Devil Saga

By Tycho – October 7, 2005

We're playing through the second Digital Devil Saga, which we thought would be a good idea... for some reason. For a while there I celebrated the fact that I (or the natural erosion of a man's principles) had brought him into the genre. It hadn't occurred to me until recently that we're into it for entirely different reasons.

Aoineko: Press Start

By Tycho – October 5, 2005

When we went to the Spike TV Video Game Awards, the only thing I came away with was that I really wanted to have one of those strange video shorts that reinforces where you are.
