is American McGee from ID software a gimp?

[CasioTech]

I heard that he has no legs, but I don't know if that was a joke or not, it sounded serious.

 

[evanichka]

Wha...?

 

[Mixxen]

I think he is with EA.

 

[pg22]

Yes....he has legs.

 

[CasioTech]

I read on incite mag in an interview

they asked what's your worst feature

he said

"I have no legs."

and he was serious about it

 

[Pretender]

I'm just glad you're not in control of the U.S.'s nuclear weapons. Or any nuclear weapons. Or any weapons.

Have you seen those Playstation 2 commercials where they advertise the PS9? I have one...I'll sell it to you for....

 

[CasioTech]

IF YOU SAY SO!

I was just asking, it wasn't something to say in an interview, is all

 

[CalebTG]

As pointed out, he works for EA, not ID

and as far as I can tell, he does have legs (and apparently a sense of humor 8)
they had a cover story in PC Gamer a few months ago, with a conference of a bunch of game makers, and he is standing on the cover with 3 other people. but every other picture I've seen of him have been from the waist up, and the cover picture is blurred out in shadows for the most part.

But I'd guess he does have legs

 

[CasioTech]

oh, so he's at EA now, what a loser, just like Brian Burke, those traitors...


you never know what they could do now days for people without limbs...

like in Forest Gump... Lieutenant Dan.

 

[piku]

I would ask him, but thats a kind of rude question.


And I dont know him.

But we can pretend that #1 is the problem, right?

 

[Mixxen]

Has anyone watched the movie, The Cell?
Has anyone played the game, Alice?

 

[JayPatel]

Gimp??? you need a better choice of words

 

[bigshooter]

I don't think he is a gimp, although he probably doesn't make it publicly known that he hangs out in the basement of a redneck pawnshop in a coffin, wearing a leather suit with a ball in his mouth.

 

[Ausm]

Wouldn't "handicapped person" be more appropriate then gimp?

Ausm

 

[Subversal]

I wish Stevie Case had no man... I'd gladly fill the spot.

 

[CalebTG]

Haha Subversal, your not the only one!

 

[DefRef]

Stevie Case is a retarded bimbo! With a big nose!

American McGee is working for Rogue. EA is just the publisher for Alice.

 

[filmore crashcart]

In reply to terms such as "gimp" or "handicapped", I'm a physical therapist and have worked with a few... "a person" is a very good first choice in describing anyone, but if you've got to comment on a physical problem than "a person with a disability" is acceptable. To be honest, using terms such as "gimp" will not make you quick friends in a lot of areas these days.

 

[pg22]

You expect otherwise from people who use the term "gay" like they're 10 years old? sigh :\

 

[CasioTech]

I was refering to an amputation, anyone could have "disablities", but I was just reading a spider man comic, the one with the kid who makes a robot suit because he is a gimp, to take revenge on everyone... Or atleast what he is called throughout the comic (amazing spiderman #12, I think...)

 

[hans007]

can you guys say "handicapped" at least. I mean fatasses are "overweight" and i'm sure there are plenty of overweight or large computer geeks.

 

[Auric]

Sheesh, let's not go down this path ... "handicapable", "differently enabled" ... oh it's a slipperly slope to mass-denial and insanity I tell you.

 

[AndrewR]

PC strikes again (not Personal Computer either).

And what's wrong with the term "gay"? I asked that in the OT forum, but no one answered. As far as I know, the GAY community embraces the term to describe themselves.
