I sometimes wonder how much money does he have, considering the fact that he kept on suing Rockstar until they got pissed and counter-sued him. But really, the way this guy behaves is as if he's got too much free time on his hands.

Anyway, on the subject of Little Sisters, let's take the example of Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. Anakin went into a room in the Jedi Temple and killed the 'younglings' (children adept in the Force). I certainly didn't hear of any complaints regarding that part of the movie. Bioshock did something similar with the Little Sisters and lo and behold, a complaint or two arose. The one thing in common is that both didn't show how the younglings or the Little Sisters were killed but yet Bioshock was targeted. How hypocritical is that?

I know. I like the Conkers avatar (still do) but I thought of trying something new. Haven't changed it in a while, that's why. I will change back to that avatar if I get tired of this one.
