Some kind of a freak drove all the way across the country. Think I've heard of similar stories before using Live, but never this extreme. Way to go, Halo fanbase!

countdown to some politician using this as an example of how games are facilitating rape.

Jack Thomson is probably dusting off his soapbox as we speak.

The only roads Jack Thompson are removing are the roads to freedom

That guy is a real life Quagmire

VIDEO GAMES LEARN YOU TO RAPE PEOPLE!

[Meotwister]

this is where we find out the guy meant "I'm gonna rape you" as in "I will be more proficient at the coordinating of my player to an advantageous point to which I can easily terminate you in this three dimensional world"... obviously he drove cross country to clear up confusion.

[Avego]

Obviously, how anyone could have mistaken his intent I don't know...

I'm off to masturbate to the teletubbies now.

It's a conspiracy. Jack Thompson paid him to do that.

[st0lve]

does it matter what media he used to tell her? it could have been via his phone, via myspace, via facebook or any other page where people talk.

that guy is sick, and he'd probably do the same if he was using myspace instead of XBL.
