Jack Thompson, Fox News and the Chicago Transit Authority want to ban bus ads for Grand Theft Auto IV.beemoh: Miyamoto seems to have been awardsed something- he was just trending worldwide on Twitter, and all the tweets were in what looked like Spanish.05/23/2012 - 7:07am

Michael Chandra: Think so yes, since the judge didn't allow them to add ips at will. :P05/23/2012 - 6:23am

Conster: TPB works fine for me (didn't work the day of the verdict). Apparently they switched IP addresses, meaning Brein has to re-sue to have that added to the block-this list?05/22/2012 - 8:16pm

Andrew Eisen: I still say the particular word or phrase the MPAA uses to describe what it's fighting against is the least of its problems.05/22/2012 - 1:12pm

ZippyDSMlee: MPAA finally admits piracy is not the same as stealing, kinda http://tinyurl.com/chtcf8p05/22/2012 - 11:55am

ddrfr33k: @EZK Bwahahaha! @Michael: Yeah, several news sources have said that google DNS can bypass the TPB roadblocks.05/22/2012 - 11:38am

Michael Chandra: Weird, I can still visit piratebay. Wonder if Google DNS is related to that, or I simply have an exotic ISP?05/22/2012 - 9:03am

Lisa Pham: No harm done, E. Zachary Knight. :)05/22/2012 - 4:50am

E. Zachary Knight: Ah. Missed that. My mind just connected DDR3 with ddrfr33k and ran with it. Oh well.05/21/2012 - 10:12pm

Lisa Pham: He also mentioned the game "Shadows of the damned" which is on PS305/21/2012 - 8:08pm

E. Zachary Knight: ddrf33k, I think Zip is referring to computer hardware.05/21/2012 - 7:33pm

ddrfr33k: @Zip: Excellent game. It's a trip.05/21/2012 - 7:09pm

Lisa Pham: IanC - if you read/looked at the report (PDF and written) then you'd see where they failed and why. Some games have come close to passing and some have passed. The list of games evaluated. http://www.reclaimyourgame.com/content.php/18-RYG-Evaluations05/21/2012 - 5:49pm

ZippyDSMlee: Bought new guitar...trying to find a nice DDR3/mobo combo under 200$ sicne I need new ram thats 100$....fun times..... picked up shadows of the damned tho!!05/21/2012 - 4:56pm
|
E. Zachary Knight: Yeah, that's how I feel about retail exclusive DLC too. ;)05/21/2012 - 3:37pm
|
RedMage: That's what I started to figure too. They seem to have trouble coming up with an effective scare tactic. At one point they referred to it as "online looting" which just sounds stupid.05/21/2012 - 3:34pm

E. Zachary Knight: Of all the sucky suckiness that ever sucked. Lego Batman 2 will suffer from sucky retailer exclusive DLC. Suck! http://tinyurl.com/ckq67vg05/21/2012 - 3:30pm

Eat it.
That is all.
I could just imagine if Jack Thompson was either living or working in a building that had a big GTA 4 ad hanging on the building. HE WOULD REALLY BE GOING CRAZY
lol that would probably give joke thompson a fucking heart attack!
I could just see Jack Thompson outside of the building rallying about them having the images for children.
Is the most badass thing I've ever seen.
We should definitely drape one of these over Jack's lawn and see the fun unfold.
Lol
I hope JT shits himself to death seeing this! Fudge the bus ads, this is epic. And those are some of the coolest ads I have ever seen. The only thing that would top this is broadcasting this on the clouds, that would rock.
It almost makes me want to play GTAIV,but alas,I don't care much for the game.
"To the retards it may concern (sorry for the oxymoron):
You have banners on your hotel advertising pr0n to teh kiddies. You have two hours to take them down. OR ELSE.
Jack Thompson, vigilante, and you're not"
Sadly, aside from the word 'vigilante' and the chatspeak, i'm not exaggerating what that'll probably be.
What did I say earlier in the last thread? Taking down a bus stop ad is nothing when you've got ads like this!
touche!
We all know the message though; It's a big old fuck you to Jacko
Maybe one day we can have GTA ads beamed directly into our head.
Sure, they might us brain tumors the size of footballs.
But won't it totally kick ass?
Viva la revolution de los jugadores! (Long live the gaming revolution!)
OOOOOOOooo! Just wait until the Project Origin ads come out! That'll get the PTA reeling.
Note: I'd put that on my building, too.
Yeah, me neither. Now MGS4, that would be a no question situation. :)
Kinda reminds me of the trick you had to do for the movie studio in vice city, beaming the ad onto the side of a building with a searchlight.
When jack finally snaps & tries the jump off a building suicide route, we should try to catch him in one of those banners. It'll finally solve the question of whether jack's hate for GTA is stronger than the power of gravity, he may end up suspended in mid air...
"Nature will always find a way."
In this case, human nature.
Perhaps LA and New York are moral cesspools beyond hope of redemption. (I hear there are even homosexualists living there…)
I've heard they respect women too! Clearly there's insanity at work!
F*ck you.
How...dare you!
...You forgot Texas and Florida
I am getting very mad with these people trying to violate my freedom to play the kind of games I want.
a)Piss him off
b)Instant-controversy and word of mouth publicity
c)PISS HIM OFF
Just thinking as an offhand, they could put a poster for a different product on each wall and rotate the apartment blocks by 90' every 30 seconds like those electronic billboards, that'd be cool, well, for everyone who didn't live in them ;)
and when I say fit I mean tantrum
