"Edge owns Tim Langdell. Seriously (Edge)"

But why does his logo look like the EDGE magazine logo?

I asked that the other day, supposedly Edge magazine used to pay him a small monthly fee to use the 'Edge' name without him taking them to court (as he had threatened). A few months back they decided he probably didn't have a strong enough case and stopped paying him.

He then stole their logo and used it on his website, which is most likely him trying to get them to sue him so he can counter-sue for the trademark without spending any of his own money. so like what he's trying to do with Mirrors by Edge and EA.

The guy sounds like a clinical psychopath.

I think he sounds like a lawyer.

He's got a doctorate in Psychology, guess he's trying to put it to use.

The oldest Psychology joke in the world is that they all become psychologists to hide how sick they are.

Coming soon - Martyrdom by EDGE!

It's a Tower Assault clone; but when you're close to defeat you can just pack up your shit and claim you won.

Cry more Langdell. Your bitter tears nourish me.

Hey, I just realised... His web address is the--edge.com. That's two "-". the-edge.com is some "buy this domain" place holder.

Hah! I was just reading that. What a chancer.

Shop-bought CD-Rs and images stolen from Gamershell. This man is a professional.

I'd hate to be in his shoes, having made so many enemies who clearly have nothing better to do with their time than find out all of his dirty little secrets. Makes for great reading mind you :)

"...as head of web tech these past months, I was able to bring round so that the new website should now be able to go live very shortly."

Crikey, talk about the blind leading the probably-maginally-less-blind.

What a massive, massive twat. The blokes a borderline conman.

It just never ends does it? He never learns his lesson...

No borderline about it, in my opinion.

Reading all that I would think the original developer of that game actually has a legal case against Langdell. It sounds very much like Langdell was going to publich the game but the deal never actually went through but now he is selling their game from a web site. How would that not be piracy?

what a fucking twat, what an absolute shite

This thread, and all the links have turned a dull friday afternoon, into one with a lot of grinning and a bit of sniggering.

What a nob.

Is he gonna sue Sony for Motorstorm: Arctic Edge? Or maybe claim he worked in partnership with them?

This guy is a leech. Where's the salt? Does salt work on leeches? Or is that ust slugs?

Cigarettes for leeches I think.
That or a Rambo knife.

Nope.

What he'll do is create a photoshop of the front cover of a game called "ARCTIC a game by EDGE". Then he'll file a copyright for it dated 20th September 2009, but in every topic discussing it he'll mention it was a game he developed in 1995 and that Sony have clearly breached copyright.

I always smile when the new Lucozade ads finish with a massive EDGE on screen :)

You should be a criminal psycologist!

So what's the latest on this? Any chance whatsoever of Edge (the game) reappearing on the app store?

I don't know, but I'm actually having a lot of fun with Mirrors A Game By Edge. It's not what I expected and a lot better than I'd been left to believe. Production values are pretty solid, it's inventive, graphics are perhaps a little simplified but suited to the task. Controls are a little fiddly but probably just take a little getting used to.
