I can't help but wonder if it is Tim Langdell's doing whenever I can't access TIGSource. Y'know, that man has more connections than Al Capone had!

Edit: There is not enough news coverage!  Mock Anger

More sleuthing:

Notice how he didn't use the Edge magazine logo in 1999.
http://web.archive.org/web/19991122111022/http://edgegames.com/

Notice how he, by the end of 2001, not only uses Edge magazine's logo but also puts the magazine at the top, as if edgegames.com was Edge Magazine's official site - talk about the master of "brand confusion"!

I'm trying to find the developer of the mobile phone version. It's credited to a polish development 'group' called Omnigence. As far as I can tell they have made only one game and that was Bobby Bearing.

I still can't get hold of the game though.

I'm gonna think this game doesn't exists or wasn't even released, there's no way to buy it online, i tried to buy it from the sites were liked here and do a seach, nothing, i cannot fuckin' buy it in any manner.
Quite strange for a "best seller" mobile game isn't it?

Quote from: From the EDGE Games FAQ
Why isn't the EDGE game I want available via my wireless operator?
We would like to know that too! Please ask your operator to stock our games and also write our customer service department via e-mail to help us ensure that all operators stock all of our games.
I may just do that Tim.

Other interesting quotes from the site
Quote
EDGE is an event partner of GDC 08
I don't think so Tim. I'm pretty sure that was EDGE magazine and not EDGE Games. I think Future Publishing has get wise as GDC 09 partner was EDGE Online. Bad luck Tim, you were a little to late in getting that one.

Quote
Some of our partners:
Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, Sharp, Samsung, Vodaphone, AT&T, O2, Orange
Shocked No comment.

EDGE's reputation as a premium brand relies heavily on our identifying talented developers who are not willing to settle for second best.

But everybody ignores that before the protection program, "the game lawyer" was known as  "the mob lawyer".

Stephen Jacobs suggested Langdell should resign on his own:

"It is also not unheard of for a board member whose external actions cast an organization in a bad light to voluntarily step down"

Does anyone know if there are even any other employees of Edge Games besides Tim Langdell. All the Edge websites are registered under his name and nowhere can I find any evidence of their being any other employees. It seems to me that his company was set up solely for him to register multiple trademarks in different fields and get himself into game credits. To me, pretty much everything he has said sounds like a lie. It is as if he has been falsifying his entire life history in order to get recognition and money. It's like he seems to have some extreme form of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Anyone know of the case of Jean-Claude Romand,he pretended he was a medical doctor and the lies just advanced from there to the point where he killed his whole family to protect his secrets. I mean come on, this guy even pretended to run a space travel company called galactic edge spacetravels, and to have buzz aldrin as an advisor. I almost feel sorry for him now his schemes are crashing down, but the guy is so unlikable that I don't at all.

These are some questions we need answered
  • How many of the 180 games Tim Langdell claims to be involved in do we have evidence of, and did Tim Langdell have any active part to play in their development.
  • How many other people does EDGE Games employ, is it actively making or publishing any games?
  • What about Langdell's other ventures, any evidence that they have actually produced anything.
  • Looking back at Tim's or at least Cheri Davis' version of the Tim Langdell wikipedia page, is there any evidence for any of the claims made there, such as Tim helping with the development of World of Warcraft and God of War
  • His books are another interesting case, one of his books (Virtual Reality Beyond Imagination) has a single five star review on amazon probably written by Langdell himself and his other book (Game Testing All in One) has two reviews on amazon.com and one on amazon.co.uk. The tow on amazon.com look like Langdell's work, giving it five stars and blindly praising it while amazon.co.uk has a single review, this time by someone obviously unrelated to Langdell poking fun at the books illogical approach to game testing. Has anybody ever seen these books out in the wild and do they have any redeeming factors.

So yeah, lets find as much out about this guy as we can.

I popped over to the EDGE Forums to see if their community knew any more about Langdell. I kind of got an official response.

that's kinda pointless imo. he already sees himself as victimized, so doing that will only give him more evidence for that.

This is pure speculation but it seems to me that if they could legally avoid any association with Uncle Tim and his questionable exploits, they would probably be eager to make some kind of statement to that effect. "No comment" may mean they want nothing to do with it but they can't legally claim to be completely unaffiliated.
