I only read the first page and the last page and I am extremely confused.

we are upset that he was fired and want him to be fired

how is this difficult to understand

 

[Kurtofan]

The troll is on

 

[oti]

Miyamoto leaving Nintendo?!?!

 

[73V3N]

Bill: "i'm leaving, and i will be replaced by kojima"

 

[AdanVC]

What a mess. Not going to bother on trying to understand what it's happening. Bill just likes to troll and have fun on twitter sometimes. This only caused more hype for the E3 plans announcement of the announcements so 30 minutes to go!!

 

[-Horizon-]

I have no idea what's going on.

 

[random25]

I'm still laughing reading back this thread lmao! Trintroll at work.

 

[Kacho]

This will be the longest 30 minutes ever.

 

[Pez]

Here at Nintendo, we believe...that you're not longer needed.=(

That sucks for Bill. =( How long was he at the company? Wonder what his first E3 was?

 

[phanphare]

Trinen sitting at his computer like

 

[TheSlySoul]

I assume the Direct will have a skit of Bill being fired and he was one hour off.
Easy mistake to make, ha ha.

 

[Neiteio]

God, I love this pic. It looks like they're at a dance-off or rap battle, and it's Microsoft's turn. (I know the context, just saying)

 

[Nibel]

 

[flatearthpandas]

So we're going to see a play off of this moment in 40 minutes? Awesome.

Ha, I missed that. Pretty gold.

 

[Mato]

I've been meaning to ask... do we have any info on his marital status? Married or single?

 

[roknin]

How did this thread go from making me immensely sad to continually lmao

 

[JDSN]

#BigNghazi

Hahaha damn Nibel

 

[Munkyspace]

I've been meaning to ask... do we have any info on his marital status? Married or single?

Eh?

 

[Kriken]

I assume the Direct will have a skit of Bill being fired and he was one hour off.
Easy mistake to make, ha ha.

Bill: Say Reggie, I have an idea for something we can show off at E3
Reggie: What do you have in mind?
Bill: Well since we teased Mother 3 last year-
Reggie: *Stares*
Bill: ...I'll go clear out my office

 

[duckroll]

I updated the OP with some clarification. Still mad!

 

[-Horizon-]

glorious!

 

[Blunoise]

hahaha Iwata is a jerk

 

[Linkhero1]

Oh Bill.

 

[D_prOdigy]

This picture has such a rich narrative for me personally. I went literally years believing the guy behind Miyamoto was actually Tiger Woods rather than someone who just looked vaguely like him.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I am so lost is Bill really out?

 

[Mpl90]

Bill: Say Reggie, I have an idea for something we can show off at E3
Reggie: What do you have in mind?
Bill: Well since we teased Mother 3 last year-
Reggie: *Laser Eyes*
Bill: ...*now just dust*

Fixed

 

[Schadenfreude]

Bill: Say Reggie, I have an idea for something we can show off at E3
Reggie: What do you have in mind?
Bill: Well since we teased Mother 3 last year-
Reggie: *Stares*
Bill: ...I'll go clear out my office

This sounds just lovely

 

[phanphare]

lol Rich

No

MOD ABUSE

Event history:

- Bill Trinen updated his Twitter profile and tweeted the garbage above.
- He then tweeted that he got the timezone wrong and wasn't supposed to say that shit yet. He updated his profile again.
- Seems like he was riffing off a stupid "FIRED" joke which is part of an upcoming announcement video about Nintendo's E3 plans, except the video isn't up yet.

Consensus: LAME AS SHIT.

oh thank god for this. I was so confused reading the title, then first page, and then skipping to the last page...

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I updated the OP with some clarification. Still mad!

Oh come on, don't be mad. It was an honest mistake.
And it probably made even more people aware of whatever it is that's happening in less than 30 minutes. Which is a good thing.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

No

wow thank you, I don't know how I missed that in the OP.

rookie mistake.

 

[Javier]

*Sees first page*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*Sees rest of thread*

Oh Bill you troll.

 

[roknin]

For some reason I see this in my head like a WWE promo cut

 

[Dimmle]

the day the music died

EDIT: nvm bill you're here for life

 

[Aaronrules380]

LOL Trinen really is trending in the US right now

 

[Geg]

Oh come on, don't be mad. It was an honest mistake.

It certainly did for me, I completely forgot their E3 video was coming today

[Fandangox]

Okay work with me here GAF, I still haven't gotten all the dots fully connected, but this SURELY means a new F-Zero is getting announced.

 

[roknin]

Tbh... Same lol

 

[munchie64]

Well that was an emotional roller-coaster.

 

[openrob]

The thing is, if it was part of a joke that he was to get fired, wouldn't it be more sensible just to leave it for an hour? Surley changing it back wasn't the best thing to do.

Leaving people to speculate, then it gets announced as a joke after a bit would be much better, no?

Nintendo selling Mario IP.
Focus on FPSes and MOBAs from here on out.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

I have no idea what's going on.

This so much read the op twice still no clue :O

 

[FearMyWrench]

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Okay work with me here GAF, I still haven't gotten all the dots fully connected, but this SURELY means a new F-Zero is getting announced.

The only logical conclusion I'd say.

People don't like being toyed with that way, that's why he quickly went into damage control mode.

The fact that this got Bill Trinen trending on twitter is great though.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Still laughing hard at this. Never expected we'd see the day where Bill Trinen would be trending on twitter in the US

 

[ktroopa]

Bill now working at konami..
