Jack Thompson graces Game Head this evening

The fabulous Jack Thompson makes a rare appearance in public on Geoff Keighley's Game Head on Spike TV at 1AM tonight. As long as Keighley doesn't pull any punches this could be quite entertaining. Subjects include discussing the man behind the curtain who fills gamers with rage, and what kids at school say about his son -- now that's the question we've always wanted to ask!
Game Head seems to be focusing on video game violence as they also speak to Spencer Halpin about his film Moral Kombat. There is also a debate between Lorne Lanning (Oddworld) and Thompson moderated by Newsweek's N'Gai Croal (which we covered live earlier this month). Set those DVRs just in case you'll be out causing violence this evening after playing all those video games.

Does anyone else feel dirty when Thompson talks about video games, in that he is informed like he reads video game blogs all day long. The only difference is he uses the information to get mad. So it's like him and us are the same, except he is a bizarro version of a video game fan.
i just made my head explode.

Oh no 1am! Don't feed JT after midnight, you never know what he will turn into.

Joystiq, he's going to sue you for using that picture.

Boohoo, it's for the lulz. Isn't there a right for depiction of parody?
Corbo @ Nov 30th 2007 6:32PM
There is, but when has Jack Thompson ever let other people's rights get in his way?
jovin6 @ Nov 30th 2007 6:04PM
Guys, I hate to admit this, but I can't keep it a secret much longer. I'm Jack Thompson.
Now that it's out in the open, can I ask a question? How did the hell did you get your hands on that photo of me?
ThornedVenom @ Nov 30th 2007 6:19PM
We sent our son to our local pornshop. ;P

When I first read the line about his son, I thought of Star Wars. lol.
Okay, so here's the plan: Jack Thompson is Darth Vader, who is currently on the Dark Side(of video games). His son may or may not be good. But what if his son can turn Darth Jack "good"(as in, to the side of video games)?

No, no. I'm just really tired and I have no idea why I'm commenting. Seriously. But the plan is so crazy, it just might work XD
