Well the Stattle Police have decided there's nothing worth investigateing in the PA/Thompson fiascio.

********
"Our preliminary review of the document has led us to believe that it is most likely a civil matter," police spokeswoman Deborah Brown said, "but we have forwarded it to the chief of our criminal investigations bureau to make sure that it is correct."

Unless the chief of that bureau finds some criminal activity that wasn't apparent upon first examination of the complaint, this part of the ongoing dispute between Thompson and Penny Arcade is resolved.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I'm glad he's finally recognizing that his reputation is starting to damage his ability to work. His cause, which I think has some very good points to it, will be much better served by somebody temperate and civil.

i don't think it is supposed to be jack thompson, but this is a funny thing i found today.  I have been playing the new "path of neo" game that came out for ps2 and there is a scene where you are fighting a bunch of agent smiths.  Well, you get to this room (using the key maker) and it seems to be some government auditorium and the speaker is talking about video game violence and how it is bad and stuff.  then the smiths pour in the room and do that hand-to-the-chest-to-take-over-their-body move on him.  I thought it was pretty funny.

That's very funny, and I'm sure that's supposed to be Thompson. That makes me laugh.

A very interesting point of view, tangentially related to Thompson, about how violent games might actually be hurting the game industry.
