    Lmao, I searched "EDGE Games" on Wikipedia and it's been vandalized, with a changed logo to the Nazi flag.
     
  3. It's been fixed, but there are a pair of disputes on the page for conflict of interest and the need for verifiable sources. The talk page is funny...

    In reply to the "Only in America" comment, I'd just like to say that this guy is actually a Brit and he has tried the same tomfoolery in England several times (do a site:ipo.gov.uk search for tim langdell)

    Also, let's take this guy down. Digg this story!

    (it's a link to the tigsource article, I'm not some random douchebag trying to score visitors for my pathetic blog or anything like that - I post at TIGsource and I'm as upset as you guys are)

    I have it with this, i'm gonna go play basketba..round-orange-bouncy-sphere!

    medical treatment actually made me feel more ill than the people who got swine flu, my school got closed down for a week because of swine flu, fun week!


    And on-topic, this is ridiculous, it would be like if DICE wouldn't let people put dice in game names. If i had a company called Blade, that made movies and games, would you really expect me to be outraged when someone makes a game called 'knights blade' or whatever, NO

    I like cake

    Have I missed something? What is he suing EA over? I knew about the silly Edge iPhone game claims, but what does EA have to do with it?

    Edit: Does this guy remind anyone of that ridiculous bastard Jack Thompson? He should be taken down just like this guy.

    "Mortal Kombat
    In October 2006, Thompson sent a letter to Midway Games, demanding they cease and desist selling the latest game in the Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, claiming that the game was illegally profiting on his likeness, because gamers could use the Kreate a Fighter option to make a character who looked like Jack Thompson.[85] Midway did not cease distribution of the game."
    This guy is messed up

    This is unbelievable crap. Like someone would make a company named table and sue anyone who uses the word.
