The Halo Tattoo was fake. However, the GTA Tattoo, well, that might have been real.
I think it's actually the opposite.

And I still want to know if Don MAttrick reads GAF. Can you hear me Don ? I don't want audio ads brought through Live voice-chat, thanks.
 
I hope he doesn't make MGS too much like the EA of the past.


And honestly, it is time they invest in MGS Japan and quit trying to run it with a skeleton crew and some outsourced talent.
 
I think some people may be overlooking the fact that Peter possessed a number of strong relationships with a good deal of creative talent in Japan (such as Miziguchi), so he's a definitely a loss for Microsoft.
 
"They're paying Moore $550K with a target bonus of 75%, 350K stock options, 50K stock, $1.5M signing bonus, and $330K relocation expenses"


WOW..these guys make this much money??? Could we see Kaz,Reggie, and Peter on MTV cribs???multi millionares?

That was 60 years ago, this is 6 years latter. Do you guys have no respect for people that died in a horrible terrorist plot. By your reasoning its fine to make jokes about American soilders dieing in Iraq last weekend. You don't see this a sick? Maybe your not intelligent or old enough to understand, buts its demeaning to the memory of those that died and there families that remain.

If you have any emotions as human beings, think back to how you felt that day, and what others are doing right now, so you don't have to live in fear of possibly being the next target.

Why should the timeing matter at all either something is funny or it isn't. People make gif's of the titanic sinking and remark to it in relation to something following a similar path. I honestly don't share this idea that if a whole hoarde of people die in a certain accident it's of much more importance than if one person were to die. And therefore a crime to suggest a joke against it. I know a lot of people that have family that were involved in some major event and a lot of them make fun of it. One of my friends is jewish and one of her best friends is a german guy to which she remarks to me on many occations ''I'd never trust him near an oven'' etc. And I laugh. Humour isn't something you can put a guideline on sometimes. I do think a lot of human beings are too conservative on certain issues for their own good. Plus do a lot of you really wake up every morning and think about the families that lost people in attacks like that?. There have been so many world events where do you start?.

Personally I didn't find his post funny but I really don't think it warrants the kind of comments some of you were making against him. Like sick scumbag etc, how do you come to making estimation of a person based on a post he made which as to take the situation and not the people and use for effect.

As likable as Peter Moore is, I can't say I'm unhappy to see him leave.

He just didn't seem to bring much drive to the role, and he certainly hasn't done a great job at positioning Xbox as a global business.

He really only stepped to the forefront early last year after the 360 launch, and since then the business has just been sort of bumping along, without much real sense of direction.

Let's see what this Mattrick fellow can do. I rememer a big deal being made of him coming on board at MS originally, but not much has been heard of him since.

hmm..interesting. I wonder if this coincides with the 360 possibly starting to target the mainstream audience with the rumored price cuts this holdiay season. Maybe MS wasn't willing to take the chance of Moore, who more or less, has only been successful at marketing the 360 as a hardcore gamers console.

I need to know who that chick is in your avatar. I wish to put my penis in her vagina.

if you don't even know who that is, then you're not worthy of the penis you claim to have

That would be a bit of a conflict of interests given his current role with Sony.

I actually said that not realising that he still holds a position at Sony, like it would ever happen anyway :)

To be honest that's what I wanted to say, but I'm new here so I was being polite :)
 
I think its awesome he's getting a Signing bonus!! Really is a sporting environment huh. Guess he gonna have to do drug tests and all too! Congrats to Peter get that paper!

I surprised that not many are looking at the bigger picture in that something major besides this may be going down.

I'm with you, it all seems to have happened rather...smoothly

Like what?

My inclination is some sort of Microsoft and EA deal, not exclusivity but something...

Im supprised Peter Moore Jnr, Chris Satchell, didnt get the job. He is, for all intents and purposes a younger version of peter moore:

Plus, nice guy.
 
How many people posting in this thread are little kids? In the real world little ones, people move on, people change jobs. Life happens, get used to it.

Wow you guys banned him?. Anyway hope it's not perm I actually like blue's posts on the whole.

This is banning is hypocrite. Next time someone makes a joke about WW2 I expect a banning too then. Or any joke about any disaster for that matter.

Don't worry so much your a member now. I guess enough posts your no longer a junior. You just have to watch out for some characters on this site. Don't mess with bishopl, he's got a huge ban hammer. And at all costs (if he makes it back from his construction job) be wary of Doom_Bringer. :lol

I can't guarantee your request will be granted by telling you who she is, however:

Mandy Moore

Hmm.. Looked up a few more pictures. Looks like she falls under the category of 'only hot with short hair'. I'll just continue to be distracted by your avatar then.

I am not sure where you are going with this. If you are talking about some sort of EA exclusivity deal, I cannot imagine a company that would have more to lose by going exclusive then EA. What do you have in mind?

That's chump change compared to the money CEO's make. I seriously thought these guys would be making a few million, salary wise. Especially for someone working for a multi-billion dollar corporation.
 
Wow, that was unexpected. He's moving to a beautiful area though.

"To Bill Brasky!"

"Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Brasky takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half — until sure enough, someone constructs a bar around us. Well, the day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'"

:D

I've been lurking here long enough to have a general idea of who not to upset.

I should be ok with bishoptl, I love the Turok series so I'll only be showing him love (verbal only); and I'd love to have met the seemingly infamous Doom_Bringer...

Oh I'm not a Junior anymore, that didn't take long. I guess my 100+ posts in two days didn't offend too many people. Thanks mods.

Or Titanic, or Hiroshima (which by the way has been used many times on this forum), or pearl harbour etc. Plus he even said sorry.

Care to elaborate?

I'm thinking more like Moore jumping out because he sense MS might be in for some major trouble because of hardware failures. First we here one guy sold his stock now this. Just think it might be the tremors before the earthquake. No?
