"Best picture ever."

This is EXACTLY what I was going to say. The claims that this guy is making are ludicrous and unsound. The judge should just look at him the next time he comes in and say "No! Now, bring on the next case."

Dont you all see though?! This man is a martyr! He is sacrificing himself in order to bring unity to the three console continents!! This man doth not deserve the facepalm, but a crown covered in Uwe Boll's signature!

His last name is Estavillo. If that's not a clear indication that he will do anything for money, I don't know what is.

Sorry guys but I wanted to bump this link. Here a link to a video of this Erik kid talking smack online. The guy is a grade A asshole and basically a psycho.

NSFW (obviously)

I say we all dress up as waiters when he attends a dinner party, abduct him when he gets into the men's room, and offer him an ultimatum. All we need is a rubber band, duct tape and a sharp knife.

Maybe he thinks if he starts enough lawsuits he'll eventually win one because of probability....

I think he might have missed a lot of days in high school.

but think about it.....this moron is a gamer.

gamers read joystiq.

it think what he is actually doing is brilliant, i do not feel any embarrassment to be categorized as a gamer when he is. think about it if he succeeds (although there is a very small chance) people wont be calling him a moron, they will be calling him smart because he has won such substantial amounts of cash. besides, stories like this make me laugh , the sheer audacity of his claims of suffering undue stress and sadness because of the failure of his xbox makes for great reading. if hes got nothing better to do hey why not try

from gamespot

"as he suffers from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and Crohn's disease. "

so he is terrified of people, so terrified that he cannot buy another Xbox, but he can appear in court and gain the attention of hundreds of thousands.

he can't afford another xbox, but legal fees for 3 suits he can afford?

what?

Not quite sure what Crohn's disease needs to be in the description for.

Maybe because he is being torn a new ass*, he is trying to tear Microsoft and Nintendo new asses.

*Anal fistulas are possible side effects of Crohn's disease.

@Hyperion45: Actually, the phrase is "The lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client."

The non-lawyer who represents himself has a learning disability.

Dude give it up, you're not going to get rich quick by making shitty lawsuits (and then losing). If you're that determined, go try to get on Wheel of Fortune or something...I've seen plenty of idiots win tens of thousands on that show.
