From my point of view I hope this doesn’t work – because if this vanishes into a federal court we will lose sight of what is going on, since they don’t (so far as I know) have this useful database of all the filings generally available.

there's PACER, costs a little money... 8 cents per page I think

 

[AstroLad]

it will definitely vanish into federal court. been down this road many times

 

[epmode]

God bless the American court system.

 

[EYEL1NER]

Ughhhh, was hoping for good news on this story.

Langdell's lawyers put out a press release:

Disgusting

This guy sure does love the word edge.

Popcorn time, this is going to be an enjoyable clusterfuck. And with a bit of luck, it'll finally be the end of that assface.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Poor guy.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I can't believe a legitimate law firm would take on this fabricated case. Anyone with common sense can look at the situation and see who the real copyright abuser is.

I just noticed this at the bottom of edgegames.com:
"Children are our future." Edge(R) Donates 10% of its profits to charities and institutions for the benefit of children in need, at-risk children and sick children.

Langell makes me sick, seriously. How low can this guy go?

Blim is anti-in need, at-risk and sick children, confirmed.

I don't think he's lying. 10% of 0 is still 0, after all.

How long has that been on the site? Any way to check?

And all this because this man is convinced he owns a basic English word, in entirety. It's stunning.

I saw some of these adds during yesterday's football match between Portugal and Spain and thought the same XD.

Indeed. I donate 100% of my profits from my business-enterprises to sick children, children with Down Syndrome, poor children and children in need. Furthermore, I use this money to help build soccerfields in ghettos, footballstadiums in Poland and even toll-free highways in Africa.
Beat THAT Langdell!

 

[kpeezy]

So now Langdell is actually paying money to keep this bullshit going? Hell yes. I wonder how long he can afford this.

 

[BobTheFork]

The ethics paper I did on this guy last semester got an A. That's about all he's good for now; a case study.

 

[GK86]

Has someone punched this dude in the face yet?

 

[pancakesandsex]

So it seems he's at it again. No one is safe apparently. Terrible crossover game "Cross Edge" is apparently under attack now too. Kinda old, but I don't think it's shown up here.

Only $27 on Amazon! Get it and sell it for $40 in ten years.

Wow, I can't even come up with a clever post to describe how much of a fucking douchebag I think this guy is.

 

[Volcynika]

wat

 

[InfiniteNine]

I hope this makes NIS/A get some money out of this, so they can actually get some profit for Cross Edge, and bring over some better games.

I don't get it... is he publicly humiliating those dumb enough to give him money? :lol

 

[Volcynika]

NISA even changed their forum name for it:

"Cross E... that is no longer
The official former Cross "something" Discussion Forum"

 

[AniHawk]

Bah. Late on the draw. Looks like Langdell is too.

Cross Edge was actually a successful product for NISA too. Made up for a year of bombs.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Bah. Late on the draw. Looks like Langdell is too.

To be fair, he's been rather busy having an EA-size battleship rammed up his ass.

Really? That's a bit surprising due to how niche it seemed, even compared to their normal output.

Well I bought it day one. I was looking forward to playing some JRPGs on my PS3 at the time since it was pretty starved.

That and making MIRRORS a game by EDGE 2 I'm guessing.

 

[AniHawk]

Really? That's a bit surprising due to how niche it seemed, even compared to their normal output.

I just remember people were excited that extra shipments had been ordered. NISA's aware their audience is a small one, so even shipping 40,000 copies of a game is good.

 

[ULTROS!]

I bought it too since it was the first English JRPG to have trophies.

Also, wtf at Landell.

Next up, Square Enix' Extreme Edges

 

[ymmv]

Now on http://www.edgegames.com:

The "funny" thing is that the Cross Edge title is completely gone from the nisamerica.com site.

 

[ULTROS!]

Oh God

Edit: Late

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Why is he claiming a link to Edge magazine again? I thought Future made him stop?

 

[androvsky]

I was hoping Cross Edge would slip under his radar, since if I recall correctly, failing to go after an infringing mark is grounds to lose the mark. I wonder if EA brought it up in their filings and Langdell jumped on it. And I have to wonder if it's really under license from NIS if NISA's removing all references to the word...

 

[DonMigs85]

What about AC/DC's Razor's Edge album?

 

[Acheteedo]

That first Amazon review is a classic :lol

thats so fucking dumb...its mind-blowing. how can this fucker trademark a fucking word? its just disturbing and totally laughable.

I just trademarked the word 'fuck" and all of its variants. You owe me $30 million.

Oh wow :lol

This game is delivered on a blank recordable DVD which cannot be read in any machine, not surprising because the DVD was not recorded. The packaging is ink-jet printing and not professionally printed. The box is a cheap DVD case. There was no printed instruction booklet, just a piece of paper with more cheap ink-jet printing. The DVD label was a sticker. The seller refused to give any kind of refund or accept any returns. I think the five out of five "review" is obviously suspect since who would seriously litter their review with (R) symbols, apart from the owner of course.

 

[InfiniteNine]

That first Amazon review is a classic :lol

Goddamn. :lol

 

[oracrest]

This review is interesting too....

"Racers" is just repackaged version of a (mediocre) 2 year old game called "Voltage" released by a different publisher in 2008. Look it up. It has been alleged that if you buy this, you'll just get a burned DVD-R with a sticker on it. Avoid."


and check out the 5-star review :lol :lol

"Edge Games®, home of the Gamers Edge®, has long been my favourite games publisher. The Edge® led the way during gaming's golden era with standout titles such as the mind-bending Mazenture® and the captivating Activator®. Since then, the Masters Of The Game® have remained on the Cutting Edge® of game development with breakout genre busters like Mythora® (medieval AND futuristic? Can you beat that!?). Now, Edge® redefines modern gaming with this outstanding addition to the 700 strong Edge Games® catalogue: the cunningly titled Racers®.

Racers® promises much to the eager player: unlock more than a dozen space jets! Play in championship races worldwide on Internet servers! Multiple powerups! Numerous achievements! Strategies! It seems unlikely that any one game could possibly deliver on such outlandish promises, but, somehow, Racers® delivers on all fronts.

First, the visuals. From the sublime cover art through to the numerous and tastefully typeset trademarks that adorn the back of the case, Racers® is a real looker. (What the fuck???) The slick retro stylings of the numerous space jets and uncluttered interface leave imitators like Wipeout in the dust. Not since Mega Race has a futuristic racing game featured such compelling visual splendour.

The gameplay is equally compelling; so vivid is the sensation of speed I was on the verge of blacking out. Pressing various keys allows you to control your sleek craft and mastery of this skill is key to being a competitive member of the thriving online Racers® community.

The audio fits the action to a tee and will keep you on the edge® of your seat. Racers® sets new benchmarks for in game audio, delivering a sonic slug to the solar plexus of pale facsimiles such as Extreme-G and Sky Roads.

To sum up: I can't recommend this game highly enough. Edge® have produced an unqualified masterpiece that can confidently rub shoulders with the likes of Hi-Octane and Mach Rider, themselves outstanding examples of the genre. The fact that there is only a single copy remaining is testament to its quality. Live life on the edge®: grab it now!® "

I´m actually beginning to feel sorry for him now. He obviously blew a fuse in his head because of his Edge obsession. He´s become a Seinfeld character, someone George would work for.

That webpage reminds me of this:

ah come on, even with the legal battles, he isnt going to stop and harass other companys...

Well, I trademarked f**k and people now owe me $60 million.

I want to say that's definitely a joke, but maybe Langdell actually registered "Live life on the edge®: grab it now!" as a trademark
