Following the seeming trend of recent online suicides, an American gamer named Mitchel, better known as 'Kuja105' on the MetalGearSolid.org forums posted a suicide note. Administrators tracked down his phone number to talk him out of it but it was in vain. Overwhelmed by financial and educational troubles he took his own life with a mixture of painkillers and antifreeze.
Enter everybodys favorite disgraced lawyer, Jack Thompson. Apparently not content with being on the losing end of every damn games-related dispute and nearly having his licence revoked he strolls amid the mourners and grievers and posts this;

Essentially; "**** that guy. You're all wasting your lives anyway." Never misses a trick does our Jack. What the hell is he trying to prove aside from his own bat**** insanity?Jack Thompson said:"Your "gamer friend" will find peace through the Lord, Jesus Christ, but sadly it's too late for that.
There is a void in every heart. You can fill it up with the things of God, or the things not of God. This unfortunate soul chose to fill it up with combat games. The playing of these video games is masturbatory activity, meaning senseless self-stimulation. If you gamers could use a dictionary you would know that that term is not necessarily a sexual one.
The real tragedy here extends beyond the life and death of this one fellow. There are literally millions of young people and young adults whose despair is deepend by turning to the things of this world and then finding them meaningless.
All of you gamers need to put down the controllers and get a life. The utter inanity of the vast majority of postings here shows how vapid "gaming" really is.
You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess.
Sad. Sad for all of you."
