This man is out of his mind.
"Here's 10 grand, now make me a multi-million dollar game."
And no, he won't donate the $10,000 to a children's fund without the game. Why would he? That would be an act of kindness, and it would only show for the first time that Thompson gives two shits about the American youth, and isn't just in this for monetary gain or to bolster his career.
He just made a thinly veiled death threat against Paul Eibeler and his family, something no professional in the game industry has ever done to him. He calls game developers and gamers themselves violent and crazy, yet only a handful of gamers have made threats against him. God forbid, he's only trying to destroy their way of life.
Also:
1. 60 minutes will air anybody. It's not a badge of honor, it means you're one of a million whackjobs that Barbara Walters likes to entertain us with.
2. Reader's Digest? Oh, good. Jack, we're all extremely scared that people may have glanced at your innane rantings while they were on the crapper.
3. The Washington sniper had a copy of Halo? Holy s**t, Thompson. It's only the single most popular game in the United States. I have a copy of Metroid Prime, but I'm not trying to somersault my way to school every day.
4. Who the hell is Bernard Goldberg? And why the hell do we care that he's named Paul Eibeler #43 in 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America? And which are you? #8?
5. The shooters at Columbine trained on a copy of Doom? And they had a user-designed level representing their school? That doesn't mean s**t. In all actuality, that game probably extended the lives of those students considerably, by transferring their anger. And theres still no bloody way to train on Doom. Unless, perhaps, there were pixellated spiky gingerbread men going to that school.
