Support NeoGAF

[stryke]

Thanks, I added Shahid, but can't seem to find Adam Boyes' account...any help would be appreciated.

Don't know it. more like I can't remember it. He rarely posts as well.

 

[Toki767]

to be fair it likely wasn't simple at all to take out the drm. probably hundreds of man-hours to reverse that system.

I would have imagined it'd be a simple process of changing a line of code from 24 hours to infinite.

Welcome Major! Are your posts only for Tier 1 countries?

Sony has had pr disasters, they recovered. He was commenting as if MS/Nelson is beyond redemption. I never had a Microsoft Executive who makes a six figure salary tell me I should get a second job to buy their console..

The point is that worse things have been done than the mistakes MS made (and corrected, mind you) BEFORE their console even launched. Nelson has to tow the company line, good or bad. What he was giving him shit for was nowhere near as bad as some of the other things that have been said by various gaming figureheads over the years.

It sounds like you've really not been following the shitstorm that is the Xbox One. I struggle to think of worse things, and what happened with the PS3 is nowhere near as bad as what's happened here. Also there's the other guy who pointed out that plenty of people at Sony have been fired/demoted. You're free to act like it's nothing if you want, but you're entirely wrong about it not being as bad.

 

[Metfanant]

This is great...NeoGaf = Tier 1 confirmed

 

[Stinkles]

Last time we had MS people here it didn't end well.

what happened?

 

[Tashi]

Welcome Major! Nice job at the Halo 4 Global Championships!

 

[professor_t]

It's a reference to a character in a TV show, that if I recall correctly, the actor recently died. He made a blog post regarding it a while back, I'll try to find it for you.

http://majornelson.com/2012/11/23/from-one-major-to-another/

Actor was named Larry Hagman.

Mystery solved. Would have been much cooler if he was ex-special forces.

 

[DopeyFish]

what happened?

this guy named stinkles showed up and owned everyone with his great intellect

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Such a great movie. Welcome Major Nelson

I watched it religiously on VHS.

Where is Major!?

Can't he see how much excitement is building in anticipation of that first post?

 

[Iacobellis]

what happened?

DirectX happened.

 

[chadskin]

Mystery solved. Would have been much cooler if he was ex-special forces.

Like ... Black Ops, eh?

 

[alr1ght]

what happened?

Probably referencing the HDDVD/BD wars.

 

[Yagharek]

what happened?

Might be referring to the "What's your contribution to society?" incident.

I'm sure he will add a "present company excluded" clause when the penny drops.

 

[Cameron122]

Make him a colonel now that he's in the warzone.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Haha, well if it seems like I tend to cut the Xbox One some slack, it's because I have a very good friend developing for the machine as a first party.




I just want to thank all the people that believed in me, even when I didn't.

Is that seriously the reason why you've been championing the system so much?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Welcome Major! Nice job at the Halo 4 Global Championships!

lol Conveniently right after Stinkles's post, eh Tashi?

If he wanted a disk-less online system, and didn't care about online check ins. Why would he consider it bad?

You assume everyone didn't like the original plan.

 

[enzo_gt]

what happened?

They were quite intoxicated and uncooperative.

 

[HPhins54]

Maybe GAF is an early stop on the apology tour?

[SnakeEyes]

We have a product for people who get rejected for NeoGaf, its called Reddit

Bwahaha, my word that is excellent. More tears for the bidet.

Thanks...Maybe that will change....I kind of wish PS had a Major Nelson type person.

 

[Stinkles]

sounds badass.

 

[Ponn]

He's still waiting on PR scripting from MS. He will be with us momentarily, please understand.

 

[ASTROID2]

Welcome MajorNelson. I listen to the podcast every week.

 

[Klocker]

Don't do it Major! Run! Its a trap.

 

[Stimpack]

I think you have misunderstood everything entirely. I would explain it, but it boggles my mind how you could give this response to anything that either him or myself has said.

 

[Tobor]

He'll follow the Xbox business plan. Post often for a couple of years, then coast as others post for him.

 

[LiquidSolid]

There are some prominent PS staff like Boyes and Shahid. Although I don't think Shahid is coming back anytime soon cuz people got pissy with him regarding vita titles.

Shu is very aware of gaf, don't think he's a member.

Not really the same though, as Shahid and Boyes aren't PR guys.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Has he even posted yet?

 

[OverBlood 3]

I watched it religiously on VHS.

Where is Major!?

Can't he see how much excitement is building in anticipation of that first post?

My prince sense was tingling.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Is that seriously the reason why you've been championing the system so much?

Not the sole reason, as I'm definitely excited about the system and the games lineup, but it wouldn't be entirely honest to say that wanting to support a friend doesn't clearly factor in.

My prince sense was tingling.

LOL was wondering what that meant, and then I looked at your avatar.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

sounds badass.

Stinkles
unsober, unclothed, very willing.

 

[Twin Tails]

I think "Major Nelson" the name is just a Persona, Multiple people probably post on behave of him.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Lol Prince.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Stinkles
unsober, unclothed, very willing.

drunk, naked, uncooperative

You're the most hardcore microsoft fanboy I've seen in the last few years. You will praise whatever they do regardless of how good or bad it is. I knew it was a matter of time before you came clean.

 

[Tashi]

lol Conveniently right after Stinkles's post, eh Tashi?

Total coincidence bruh. Not too crazy though because Frankie surfs GAF 24/7 lol

 

[nib95]

Has he even posted yet?

I'd imagine all his posts will be very carefully considered if you catch my drift lol. He is a major figurehead and spokesperson for Microsoft after all...

 

[KidBeta]

Its made worse when he posts and tries to defend stuff he admits he doesn't understand.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

drunk, naked, uncooperative

I always imagined Stinkles as the people pleaser-type when drunk.

 

[haZethew0rld]

Has he posted yet?

 

[admartian]

Has he even posted yet?

You think he would cos he's always online.


/goodnight

Ouch.

Did he really have to? It's not like he was pullin a mystery on us here. It'd be like Dennis admitting he's a graphics whore and me admitting I'm not the most positive person in the world.

 

[RustyNails]

Welcome Major! Are your posts only for Tier 1 countries?

 

[Buggzy18]

I hope he has thick skin. People here can be ruthless at times.

The funny thing is, if they saw him face to face, the "keyboard warriors" wouldn't say a word.
