Spending money on this crap instead of game development, typical Microsoft. Same old Microsoft. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Also, they just shot themselves in the foot.

*checks list*

K, I'm done here.

You forgot:

"At least this video is 1080p."

It's always hard being the public face of a company. Especially in a fanboy obsessed industry. I would never put myself out there.

Good job Major.
 
All those news sites probably also propagate that the world is round.

Posting a non-cartoon Karl Pilkington feels... Wrong.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
That chuckle out of me. I suppose that's all the video can hope to accomplish.

Yeah lol. I thought it was pretty funny, and now I'm checking out other videos on their channel. I like this kind of stuff as it brings out their personalities more, something Nintendo is excellent at.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Major Nelson is a creep.

If they're going to do this, can they at least use Phil-sensei?

People want to see the father of Xbox. That's where your marketing needs to focus on. Everyone was laughing about how Xbox doesn't have Japanese games, and no JRPGs, but Phil-sensei just went, "lol". He brought a JRPG to Xbox. Not only is it a JRPG, it's the first ever JRPG by Platinum Games, NeoGAF's favourite developers.

Phil-sensei is putting in the work. He's your mascot now.
If we're qualifying Scalebound as a 'JRPG', which seems a bit of a reach from what we've seen so far, it's the second JRPG from Platinum. Infinite Space was their first, on Nintendo DS. "lol" indeed.

On topic, nice to see them having a bit of fun. Probably would have felt a bit less icky if they'd left the Nintendo/Sony reference out of it.

Because most of their attempts come off like this.

I'm a older gamer gamer as is MN, if you watch some of his playthroughs hes quite good, better then me. its okay to be a older gamer or think this video is cool. Gaming for me doesn't stop when I hit 50, 60 or 70. We actually have gaffers in all three ranges, but I won't call them out.

I thought he was saying "AC bundles".

Freudian slip, he bought out the remaining stock.

Sure, but how many of them are Flight Attendants?

It's an RPG, kind of, from a Japanese developer, and so it's a JRPG. Why is it a stretch?

Also, I don't count anything prior to 2010, or handheld games since they're not real games. This is a new decade, and therefore there are new rules.

J Allard isn't with the company anymore though.
