Wow - took me all of 1 minute to get on people's bad-sides.
**The "official" Xbox community team that I'm on consists of 4 of us (John Porcaro, Tony Hynes, DirtyDiva, and myself).
**Lumines release date - it's coming, be patient
**Intro posts are low? Wasn't aware of this, just thought people may want a small bit of info on some random guy claiming to be an official rep. who comes into their boards and attempts answers their questions. I also didn't intend to do anything slimy by NOT saying where I'm from and whom I represent.
**Darkstalkers on XBLA next week - I'd say the chances of Darkstalkers coming out next week are less than good - that said, anythings a possibility.
**Arne isn't going anywhere that I'm aware of. I think there are enough folks here to warrant more than one MS guy in here no?
**Lumines being "boned" - you caught me, I personally made every decision on that title SPECIFICIALLY to make everyone mad at me.
In all seriousness, we're hearing the public outcry on the Lumines subject, and no, I didn't make any of those decisions (good or bad)
**I have a pretty tough skin, so if people want to harass, I'm capable of harassing back.
**J Allard's busy solving world hunger, he'll be back with the Xbox 3 some point in the next 10 years though.
**Dropping early/limited info - I'll do what I can, but as you guys are VERY well aware, I come here all guns a-blazing trying to make pals, I get fired for spilling something I'm not privy to be spilling. My main goal is to listen to you guys, and answer questions, not necessarily tell you what the release date of Halo 3 - although if you must know, it's coming out tomorrow, in synch with the Xbox vision camera
.
**I'm not a viral or hidden marketer, I'm here out in the open, I've kind of spilled who I am, so at least give me credit for that. I want people to see where my stabbing is coming from. HA!
**Shadowrun - as a huge fan of the pen and paper RPG, it has a special place in my heart. I haven't had any hands-on with it yet, so I'll refrain from commenting other than to say - I know many folks wanted it to NOT be a shooter, but to be more like the RPG, and/or the SNES games of old
OK - hopefully that's enough abuse in this thread for tonight. Thanks for the welcome (?!?).
