Seriously, what the hell is wrong with MS hiring these PR people who know nothing about gaming and then want them to "sell games to gamers"? Then putting them in situations where they are talking to hardcore gamers. WTF was this staged interview between Major Nelson and this chick?:lol (about 2 minutes into the podcast)

-I'm going to be honest with you "I'm not really a gamer"

-My 15 year old son wants to play games with me now when before he wouldn't talk to me.

-I'm one of the cool moms in the neighborhood now that I game

-My favorite game coming out Spongebob Square Pants. You need to find 99 "underpants" It's very cool. (who the fuck says underpants at least say something cool like skivvies or something)

Seriously MS, stop with the staged interviews and skits. It's painful to watch and listen to. Hiring people like this is how you end up with those horrible marketing idea's like the scene it video being mocked throughout the interweb. Dam am I not proud to own a 360 right now:lol

They could do a whole series of these.


"My child used to spit into my mouth when I slept, but then I tried XBOX 360! He didn't stop spitting, but hitting him with the power brick makes me feel a lot better. THANKS XBOX 360."



"Playing XBOX 360 and popular, life affirming titles like Spongebob Squarepants, helped me connect with my son in a way I never thought possible. Next week we're going to hang outside of wendies and shoot fireworks at passing cars, THANKS XBOX 360!"



"My son had severe weight problems, then I bought him an XBOX 360 with XBOX LIVE, 3 months later, the verbal battering he had recieved from members of the online community had destroyed his self confidence and turned him into a nervous wreck, which made it much easier to stop feeding the tubby little shit. THANKS XBOX 360."

 

[haowan]

(who the fuck says underpants at least say something cool like skivvies or something)

They're called underpants in the game. Seems like the (UK) developer got 'pants' as in 'squarepants' as in 'his trousers are square' with 'pants' as in 'Y-fronted underwear for males'. Possibly. I couldn't possibly comment further

[szaromir]

Jeff Bell is a gamer though.
Shane Kim, on the other hand, is not.

[rollingstart]

I was reading this thread on a public computer earlier today and was laughing way too hard at some parts of the interview.

 

[Darkman M]

MS deserves to fail for this.

+1 to Sony.:lol

 

[reilo]

WTF happened to Jeff Bell?

He went to find his contribution to society.

 

[vjoe]

:lol :lol

 

[a Master Ninja]

Jeff Bell is a gamer though.

With a gamertag like "bigdaddy801", the man needs to put some more time into Bioshock. Turning on his console more than once a month would be a step in the right direction.

[Truespeed]

I think it's great that Microsoft is focusing on Mom's playing videogames with their kids. It's about time the family unit was brought together again and Microsoft is trying to play a big role in this. I hope they spend the majority of their Xbox advertising dollars on this campaign.

The fake ass in your avatar is very distracting to everything that you say.
