  • IconicSoulJA

    Feel bad that e is sick. But at least we won’t hear “I love that game.”, “I played that game when I was little.”, “That movie was awesome.” I bet e loved Turning Point – Fall of Liberty as well. Or the corny laugh. “Ha!”

  • Shadowed Ghost

    Unprecedented! Talking and laughing on a podcast! Who would have thought! You’re on to something there IconicSoulJA!

    /s

  • IconicSoulJA

    @Shadowed Ghost: I understand your sarcasm. I just find it interesting that e loves everything discussed. I just want to hear him say I didn’t like that so much. They could improve it this way. I’d be impressed. A balanced person knows how to compliment as well as to criticize.

    I appreciate the podcast and that he and Laura takes the time with Major to do them.

  • IconicSoulJA

    BTW, Major linked to Steam and a DS game in the same cast. Kudos!

  • Sly Jon

    I’ve heard him mention he doesn’t like stuff before or not got on with a particular game very well. He’s passionate about Games so he naturally see’s good things/ideas in all games

  • Arsenic13

    I havent listen yet. But did they discuss the overpriced Games On Demand service yet?

  • Speed24Racer

    easports NHL 10 is way better

  • RageKage657

    Woah, the Community Head of Xbox talking about a DS game for more than a half minute?

    Now I really need to get it.

  • IconicSoulJA

    Shout Out to the Bronx!! :)

  • IconicSoulJA

    BTW hope to hear the NPD numbers in the next cast.

  • a peeking duck

    WOOOOOOO BUBBLE BOBBLE!!!

  • TaygetaVendetta

    @Twilight Now

    I’m looking forward to it, too.

    Puzzle Bobble comes out out September 30th as well, I’m REALLY looking forward to that. http://www.gamerbytes.com/2009/09/puzzle_bobble_live_confirmed_c.php

  • Megamatman

    Hey! @IconicSoulJA, e is great! The podcast isn’t the same without him.

  • oO MG81 Oo

    I’ll have a listen to this later :-) .

    @Arsenic13
    I doubt you’ll ever hear Major Nelson commenting on the GoD pricing (unless its something positive like a reduction). He’s the Xbox PR guy, I don’t think he’d have a job for very long if he started criticising or picking up on the negative aspects of the service he’s supposed to be promoting. Remember how long it took before the laggy NXE guide was officially acknowledged?. Despite 1000s of complaints (here and across the internet), It wasn’t mentioned for months!.And when it finally was it was to announce it would be fixed in the next update.
    The best way to get Microsoft’s attention on the GoD pricing is to simply not buy them. When most titles are 4x the price of the alternative DRM free hard copy I don’t know why anyone would anyway :-P .

    @oO MG81 Oo
    I agree with you 100%. EXAMPLE- I was checking out Civilization Rev. on GoD but didnt want to pay $30. So I went to gamestop.com and ordered it, with the CAG 16% off and my edge 10% off, I picked it up for $21. GoD are WAY over priced.

  • Anonymous

    lol the guy who commented first is right about e. He gets annoying sometimes when he says those things.

  • Major Nelson

    If you listen to past shows, you’ll hear I mention some of your comments regarding GoD pricing.  I push the team all the time on areas that need improvement.  That’s one of the reasons I have comments turned on….to gather feedback like this.

    P.S. I am not a PR guy, I work on the Xbox product team….not for PR. kthx.

  • oO MG81 Oo

    I stand corrected, I don’t remember you talking about GoD prices in the past.

    But you are the public face for Xbox 360 and the Live community though right?. It’s always Major Nelson I see/hear reporting from the big tech events and informing us of new features on the 360 etc. I didn’t mean to cause any offence.

  • ImaginedBug

    Hey Maj, did you ever get/read my email about this blog’s header image?

  • IconicSoulJA

    Why does oO MG81 Oo have ODST in his profile? Did you travel to France recently???

    I think Stepto might want to hear about this.

  • Chef4a

    How soon will we see the Zune marketplace after the Zune HD comes out?? are you going to talk about Zune soon?

  • IconicSoulJA

    For some reason, Microsoft (in general) and Xbox division have been hush on the ZuneHD. I don’t like it because they could really get some publicity out of it or they could be hiding something that would disappoint us all. I really hope its not the latter.

  • MACPH1ST0

    Chris Hardwick is doing one of the first reviews of the Zune HD on G4′s Attack of the Show tomorrow.

  • davidkenobi

    sorry it’s off : (maybe the statement will be coming nearly but)

    I just want to thanks Kim for all the great stuff he has made these last years :) All the best…

  • a peeking duck

    IconicSoulJA: NewEgg has been shipping the game early.

  • BrooksterMax

    I think some difficult issues have been discussed on the show,

    I recall they got hold of someone from EA to discuss the Battlefield 1943 server “problem” which was impressive.

    Also many years ago (well it feels like years) there was an issue with Sensi Soccer on XBLA and LIVE feeling poorly/overloaded over Christmas/New Year (2007? cant remeber now) and we got Undertow for free and apologies etc.

    I do agree GoD is a little too steep. My more pressing campaign is getting more Arcade Hits on Arcade Marketplace, some more games permanently reduced that are very old. I get tired of seeing Mortal Kombat 3 in that list every time I browse it!

  • The Dutch Don

    Did you say the Swiss have a black and white flag in the after show Major??.. really?..
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_flag
    Might have to correct that in next after show if you want them to love you back.

  • Warrengonline

    Looking forward to listening at the BEST part – Scribblenauts!!! This game is so much fun, but my dream was shattered with KILT, CHAIN and SICKLE does not equal Kratos. Heh heh, love the simple artwork, just awesome! Scribblenauts – tell me what happens if you run up a hill with a CHAIN. Do it an find out. Ride a SKATEBOARD up against a corner of a hill and flip upsidedown. Funny.

    Anyone know how to ‘use’ the GRAPPLING HOOK? Or make ROPE [enter], ROPE [enter], ROPE [enter] and climb it? I know one thing, the WEREWOLF eats LITTLE GIRL, but hates FIRE. And FIRE burns ROPE. Fun, fun, fun.

  • Deathstar79

    GAH! What’s the opening song for this ep? It’s so familiar…

  • rogXue

    I think Major is slowly killing E off to get lollipop in as the #2 on the podcast. Plotting at its best. Beware E, Major infecting you with Swine Flu was just the beginning!

    Conspiracy theory or truth? you choose. btw words typed in this comment were purely based on boredom :D
