This guy has SERIOUS problems.

Some guy that was tuched as a kid (no offece to anyone)
Thompson has been steadily increasing his rhetoric against the industry over the last few months. Last year, when a sniper was terrifying the Washington, D.C. area, he speculated the shooter could be a gamer, based solely on the "I am God" messages that were left for police. (Some games have cheat codes that let you enter what's referred to as "God mode" where the player's character takes no damage.) He also once served as counsel for a Wisconsin woman who says her 21-year old son's addiction to the game "EverQuest" led to his suicide.


Maybe someone should tell him that violence amoge youth has droped in the past 30 years?
