Double explosion: one for Jack Thompson/GTA IV, one for using an incredibly low res picture as a background.

My guess? He purchased it and probably played all 30 minutes of it to "prove" he knows what he's talking about.

That, or he got some underage kid to buy it in a store to prove that the ESRB doesn't work because retailers are incompetent.

*sigh*

My guess is he played it, and realized, "Wow this game is fun. I especially like shooting hookers."

He probably bought it disguised as a 14 year old, with his half-unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, red baseball cap (on backwards), white-and-gray five o'clock shadow ("peach fuzz" as the kids call it), and a nerf skateboard under his right arm. Much to his delight, he wasn't carded.

Either that or he's going to play it for 12 hours then go kill 20 people in a mall, just to show how dangerous these games are.

Jack endorses the 360 version.

Being a 360 owner...I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Holy shit you're right...

Well on the other hand we can look at it as that the pos3 version isn't worthy of any type of attention or recognition and that dear ole jack thinks the 360 is the biggest threat to his perfect society where games don't exist...

Not that I'm bashing Joystiq for posting this. Just seems like Jack is trying to create hype about it. The guy is a douche bag who's work can only be effective if he gets attention.

Just give up Thompson. Take a card from your fellow Floridians and retire. Ass.

I wish to hear nothim omre about this unless he's suddenly turned over a new leaf and decided to embrace GTA's mildly violent/sexual.

But hey, free publicity for GTA4 is always good for R*/Take2 and its shareholders, thus not so good for EA. Party on Take2.

You'll need to be more specific. There was one comment in the first 100 that actually photochopped it for the pirated porno Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm not sure where in that thread it actually confirmed this is a photoshop and what exactly he held up or if just his face.

He probably got someone under age to go in a shop somewhere and purchase the game. You never see kids getting into R rated movies either... or cigarettes and alcohol sold to under aged. Zzzzzzzzz....
Yes it happens, it shouldn't but it does... someone will always slip up... we all know it so you're no genius for pointing it out there, Jack.

Really? Once again the ps3 gets ignored...

Its pretty bad when the #1 enemy of videogames doesn't even see fit to buy the game on your favority console...

Thanks JT...we may hate you but at least we know that you know that the 360 is the REAL gaming console of this generation.

You really have a one-track mind, don't you have ANYTHING else to talk about except your preciously hated PS3?

I think its safe to say that we know how much you hate it, no need to keep reinforcing it, you seriously can't talk about something else?

Okay, PS3 sucks, I'm a fucking loser for deciding to buy it soon, all PS3 owners and soon-to-be-owners are communist, nazi pedophile rapists, including me, oh joy.

And yet you posted on Engadget a while back about thinking of buying a Sony Vaio Blu-Ray laptop. Bipolar are we PremierAsshole? ; )

@ ninja

About the sony vaio thing..I've already answered your question regarding that...

So I have NO idea why you keep bringing it up. But since like all sony fanboys you have selective vision I'll REPEAT what I've already fucking said for your retarded ass.

I was planing on buying a Bluray laptop. I might hate sony but I love technology and movies. And since Bluray has won I intend on supporting it (not sony but Samsung and the other companies behind it).

I inquired about the sony vaio ONLY because besides Dell and HP...sony is the only company that is creating Bluray drives in their notebooks and pc's.

I was CURIOUS as to the quality of their laptops vs th dell and hp laptops. ULTIMATELY I decided to buy the HP Laptop with a Bluray drive. The reason being the sony vaio was completely overpriced and it was made by sony.

So make of that w/e the fuck you want. I've answered your question YET AGAIN. Now go back to playing multiplayer on GTA IV....

Oh wait...

And I'm sorry Joystiq for this third post in a row...

Seriously ninja what the heck is your obsession with rape? No one has brought up rape on this website when it comes to gaming except YOU.

I certainly haven't made any of these outrageous claims you're stating.

Once again you reveal yourself to be the typical arrogant sony fanboy.

LOL, unlike a Sony fanboy, I haven't bashed the 360 not here, not ever, and I really like the console. I like the PS3 AND 360, so I wouldn't say I am a PS3 fanboy. I'm a PS360 fanboy. :D

I see that anyone who disagrees/argues with you, you drunkenly ramble on he/she is a "Sony fanboy". Yeah.............whatever makes you happy.

You need to change your avatar into yourself taking a dump on a PS3. Mario is so passe.

Ninja you're such a fucking pussy. Seriously grow some balls and respond to my comments.

Rather than dodging them like the punk ass loser that you are.

1) I didn't start this shit about the ps3 vs 360. That was pointed out by several other posters who I responded to. You got it?

2) I've inquired about the sony vaio laptop. Big fucking deal. Considering theres a very small selection of these I don't see why you're trying to act like that bitch Hilary Clinton and be like, "Look nigga I GOTCHA!"

No loser you didn't get me...I freely admitted that I inquired about a sony product. I did the same thing for the ps3 and ultimately decided it was a pos...

So your arguments are bullshit. And again you prove that your incapable of responding DIRECTLY to anything I've said to you.

P.S. I don't know if your depression is related to being raped as a child or w/e but Joystiq is clearly not the place to deal with that stuff. Take some Xanax or Ativan. It should help. Make sure you talk with the psychiatrist before you do so...

You'd think a guy who claims he has a family, Wii and 360 would be too busy with them to be going on Joystiq and bashing the PS3 every little chance he gets. I know I would............if I had them, sob sob. : )

I wish I understood your motive for acting so childish and angry. So you want to show the world you hate the PS3, okay you did it. Um...... so now what? What else are you trying to accomplish?

Yeah, I have depression, thats why I want to buy the POS3, I am insane and I like rape, you read me like a wide open book. : )

God your stupidity is amazing and your replies are so predictable.

Instead of responding the FACTS and explanations I've laid out for you you're just go rambling on about ME.

Seriously you're beyond pathetic. When you grow some and admit that your comments regarding my question about sony vaio laptops was complete garbage then I'll respond to your stupid inquires into my life.

Its shocking just how you can get away with not answering my questions yet I'm expected to defend my position to you at every turn.

@Ninjaka

How can you be a 360 or PS3 fanboy if you don't own either console? Also why would you be proud of labeling yourself a fanboy in general?

Yeah, I don't own either so far, waiting for finals to end to buy one. I'm torn between 60gb PS3 and 360 Elite, both are excellent systems but since my brother is willing to split the cost if I get a PS3 (he really wants to play MGS4 and the next Team Ico game for starters), so that made my choice quite easy. I've also owned the PS1 and PS2 before and would like to play them upscaled on my HDTV with the PS3. : D

I haven't bashed the other consoles, look at my past comments. But I will defend the PS3 from other fanboys.

I like the Wii as well, not as much though. But then again, I have very little experience with it, only played Wii Sports at someone's house and it was pretty damn fun!

I can only afford one, so its PS3. I get more money and time for gaming, then its 360 and Wii. But my gaming time keeps getting less and less. I think I'd only be able to play the PS3 this summer and then no more time. : )
