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!"
Unprecedented! Talking and laughing on a podcast! Who would have thought! You're on to something there IconicSoulJA!
/s
@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.
BTW, Major linked to Steam and a DS game in the same cast. Kudos!
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
I havent listen yet. But did they discuss the overpriced Games On Demand service yet?
easports NHL 10 is way better
Woah, the Community Head of Xbox talking about a DS game for more than a half minute?
Now I really need to get it.
Shout Out to the Bronx!! :)
BTW hope to hear the NPD numbers in the next cast.
WOOOOOOO BUBBLE BOBBLE!!!
@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. www.gamerbytes.com/.../puzzle_bobble_live_confirmed_c.php
Hey! @IconicSoulJA, e is great! The podcast isn't the same without him.
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.
lol the guy who commented first is right about e. He gets annoying sometimes when he says those things.
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.
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.
Hey Maj, did you ever get/read my email about this blog's header image?
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.
How soon will we see the Zune marketplace after the Zune HD comes out?? are you going to talk about Zune soon?
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.
Chris Hardwick is doing one of the first reviews of the Zune HD on G4's Attack of the Show tomorrow.
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...
