Hello and good day to you all. My name is Luke, I hail from the UK and I am a new contributing writer for EpicBattleAxe.com. To start I just wanna raise awareness of PIPA as well as how you, the mighty Axehead army, can spread the word of what it is and why it should be stopped.
I had a conversation with Brent, in which we talked about the negative affect this will have on the internet as a whole. Not only will it affect video game websites but film, music, or any other websites related to entertainment. I bring this up because, as SOPA may be delayed, PIPA still rears its ugly head so it’s important that you are kept in the know. It’s in your power to tweet, share on Facebook, or use any other means of sharing your thoughts.
Cry havoc, let your voice be heard. Because if you don’t, it may be silenced for good.
Click here for info on PIPA and SOPA and then share your thoughts in the comments below…









Hello Mr Luke
hello wocyob
You can go here to take action https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/
Well said man! Here is a website that has a petition that will be read by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) during a filibuster if PIPA comes to the senate floor. Anyone who signs it will have their name read as part of the filibuster. It may just be the U.S. audience that can technically sign, but those living abroad could certainly try to sign as well. http://www.stopcensorship.org/
thanks for the info, now quick!!! Run, get to the chopper and stop SOPA.
(see what I did there
Nice, nothin’ beats a good Arno quote! Glad you’ve joined the other Axelords in keeping this one of the best gaming sites on the web!

petition signed.. will start emailing various sites/people tomorrow. I wish gaming companies would start pulling out of the ESA like Google and Yahoo and the other companies pulled out of the chamber of commerce…
Glad to have you onboard Luke. I am protesting PIPA and SOPA today so my site will be down, like many others. I think the bills need to be erased and re thinked.
thanks for the welcome
Welcome, Luke!
In Swedish (where I’m from) pipa means pipe and sopa means garbage. I’m trying to find something witty to say about smoking out the garbage, but can’t come up with anything. Oh, well, I’ve tweeted today at least, not sure that it will do any good though.
The proverbial pipes of the internet will blocked if this garbage is allowed to flow.
hows tht? :/
Not bad at all, actually.
thank you, thank you *takes a bow*
Another Axelord!? Sweet! A hardy nordic welcome Luke “The Duke” from Sweden to the best gaming community on the Web!
Here we cry havoc about all that is gaming, good or bad, if it’s bad we try to make it no so bad, like protesting against PIPA and SOPA for example!
I’ll drink a tankard of mead in your honor and to Odin so he will bless you in comming battles newly anointed Axelord Luke!
Done Bear!
I hath been of the site since 2008. I am so grateful to be writing for EpicBattleAxe.com. I know all about crying havoc
Of course you know all about crying havoc, have seen you a lot on the site before, but it was a part of my welcome thingy thing.. for making it to become a Junior Axelord.
thank you
appreciate the welcome of me being a junior axelord.
Welcome on board, Luke.
Just a quick question. Did you ever meet Our Axelords in person, or how didd you come to be a new contributor?
I live in the UK, so I have never met the Axelords in person. I have been writing for websites since August of last year. I asked brent if it was ok that I post my articles in the shoutbox, he then invited me to write for the site.
Its awesome and I look forward to writing for EpicBattleAxe.com
CRY HAVOC YE NIBBLER OF SOULS!!!!
Hi Luke, let’s hope Darth Vader is not your step dad
(I know that is lame)

can it be, can it be? a fellow AxeHead climbing up the ranks to join the Axelords in their triumphant march. I congratulate you my axelord. AND you really got me surprised as I enter`d the site, thining WTF? but then have my confusion filled with reasons of celebration.
ANYWAY, if ther is ANYTHING an Axe wielding Viking from Valhalla(Norway) can do to contribute in this noble case, let me know. and i will be pleased to..
Luke, keep your axe sharp. You’ll need it to cut through the cra… I mean.. to open all those bottles of high octane magic potions… Cheers to you!
thanks dude. I hope my writing cheers you up
both are still on the table and very much not dead despite having a lot of support for them dissipate today. spread the word.. although if someone didn’t hear about them today, well then they probably just can’t be helped
Well, with the whole SOPA PIPA stuff, not really knowing if you knew about this but the ESA has a lot to do with E3, so websites like screw attack(thats my entire list really long I know), are choosing to not to go it, all together. -my 2 cents of the month-
i log in just because i was going to say the same thing about ESA and E3 lol.
Will EBA be boycotting E3 (along with Screw Attack) in protest against ESA’s support of PIPA/SOPA?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHOZcHkvkvs
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but if the EBA staff is planning on covering this year’s E3 I would like to ask then not to do so in support of the gaming community standing up to ESA due to them supporting SOPA/PIPA. I am sure the staff already knows about everything I’m talking about, but not all it’s users do, so please go to youtube and type in: Stand Together: The Gaming Community vs SOPA and PIPA and you will get the idea of what I’m talking about. We all need to take a stand against it, I am a non US citizen and this is a way for me to contribute, this shit is real people, we need to do something, everything for this to not get passed. I like everyone else usually stay on the fence while political shit blows out but SOPA/PIPA passing may result in sites like EBA, Gametrailers, ScrewAttack and similar to vanish, this is not just an off chance, this is a very real chance, so please, do whatever you can to contribute.
EDIT: lol just saw the comment above, sorry for the re-post…(feel kinda dumb now xD) none the less, this is important
Congrats, Luke2903. You must feel AWESOME! I’ll still be happy to read what you have to say. Still trying for R*?
BTW, I belong to the ECA (who has a painless way to do this) & have called & written both my Senate members (yesterday) & some House Reps a while back! Thanks for posting this.
Fan turned contributing writer- I like this. Congrats Luke!
thanks very much, appreciate it
