@The_M: Clearly not. $25,000 is a very small amount for likeness infringement, and he asked for them not to use it in the future. He didn't try and negotiate a price for future use. #madden
He couldn't have just been happy that he was authentically introduced in the game? Perhaps he should have sued if they included the slumpy numb limbed sadness exit that all us Clevelanders have after each and every game. #madden
@(zombie) buddhathing: these are nothing compared to the ones i saw them in last week. They had a ring of feathers around the collar. F'n hideous. #madden
@Dr-Horrible: I saw the new ones when I was looking for a suitable picture. The level of crazy that the designers of OU are working at is so batshit that I couldn't form a proper opinion as to which is 'better' or 'worse' without passing out, so I just went with the ones I was already thinking of. #madden
@(zombie) buddhathing: Hahaha! YES! If it were possible i would try to agree with you more. I hadn't seen the gray get up or that insane yellow Dayglo and black. i think that it is safe to say that the designer has in fact had his mind grapes blown. #madden
Thank Christ they're improving coverage of the flats. It's so frustrating to set coverage specifically to try and prevent screens and dump-offs only to have the AI fuck it up time after time. #madden
@infinitezero: "Thompson, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's "Hall of Fans," who wears a bug-eyed dog mask, hard hat and waves a bone, had sued EA for a similar character appearing in Madden NFL 2005."
A) Question answered
B) If you don't care about video game or rights litigation, you shouldn't care. #madden
This dude is a jackass. I really hate how people want to sue for such tribal stupid things. How using his image would have hurt him in any way possible?
Jesus, take it as a compliment and move the hell on.
"Oh but Guat, EA is making money on the game, so he should be compensated blah, blah, blah, blah"
Again, how does that hurts or humiliates him?
I doubt that he feels insulted or emotionally depress by this, after all, he wears a stupid dog costume to football games. He just saw a easy ticket for some free money a jumped on it, and for me that's a dick move, even when it's done against another dicks like EA.
@NeVeRMoRe666: I don't get the whole grey/brown thing. I'm looking at my 360 collection (easy access as it's on a shelf right next to me), and the only games I have that fall under that are Fallout 3, CoD: MW, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed and GTA IV. That's out of 28 games.
Viva Pinata: now there's a game that will make your eyes bleed. #madden
@NeVeRMoRe666: Nothing particularly new. Any of the Halo's. ODST is the least colorful, but it's still more so than a WW2 shooter. Star Wars TFU, Civilization Revolution, Viva Pinata and Trouble in Paradise, Mirror's Edge (actually more bright than colorful, but the colors that are there sure stand out). Mass Effect's pretty colorful considering you're in space stations and whatnot most of the time. Fable 2. GH/RB/RB 2.
The rest of my games aren't especially colorful, they're just not especially drap either. Full list at [www.playfire.com] if you're interested. I only listed 360 games (although some of those are multi-platform), but that link has all my games on it. #madden
@Owen Good: XD Personally the thought of Karl wearing that jersey without the long sleeve sweater would have been hilarious. Especially if he told Carmelo to pass him the rock. #madden
I'm with Kobun, should the manufacturer of the bug-eyed-dog mask be the one suing and not Thompson? Because unless he has trademarked this particular character, he isn't entitled to a damn thing.
