Support NeoGAF

[A-V-B]

I know all this, do you remember last year when Xbox's DRM policies was announced? There was about 20 of them posting like something from a shopping channel.

Last year was something of a shitstorm, I tell ya h'what.

 

[The Elite]

The new Wolfenstein game, I think? Dude with the gun is a nazi in an alternate world ruled by Nazis

How the hell did I miss this?

 

[Nightengale]

whats a PR email account?

Proper company domain e-mails.

 

[Maintenance]

Stop taking everything like they're talking about your family. There is no reason to be upset.

Man, this post was so good in retrospect.

 

[CaptNink]

Wow!

MS should ask for their money back.

 

[Kezen]

This is why we love Neogaf.

 

[TheOMan]

Amazing thread title change, and wow, signed up with PR email account? LOL

I come to see this posted and GAF (once again) didn't disappoint me.

Cherry on top, by ElTorro himself. Anyway, fun thread, the GC really did catalyzed a lot of fanboys hate/damage control/hypocrisy/denial. Even more than E3.

What a time to be a gamer.

 

[Neiteio]

So wait - this guy was actually doing PR work for Microsoft?

I see accusations like that all the time but I didn't think companies actually have people out there on forums parading their cause.

From what Bish quoted, I'm not sure I see any indication he has Microsoft as a client. Just that he does PR for some company somewhere. I mean, I imagine someone can work in the PR industry and also have their own opinions separate from their profession, without said opinions being paid off.

 

[Hexa]

Bahahahahahaha. GAF is awesome.

 

[krypt0nian]

Holy shit.

MS are desperate.

That's the quote on the new retail packaging. Right under the Tomb Raider splash.

 

[statham]

Proper company domain e-mails.

I saw bish's post, I editted.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wow that's pretty bad, PR email and all.

 

[A-V-B]

How the hell did I miss this?

Too busy time traveling and putting Hitlers in the closet

 

[Acosta]

COME ON AT LEAST MAKE IT INTERESTING

FATALITY, FLAWLESS VICTORY!

 

[metsallica]

This... is amazing. Please take a bow, Bish.

 

[Tamanon]

Man, for how much thought was put into this post, no thought whatsoever was put into hiding their identity. You'd think any PR firm worth its salt would have at least a separate, less blatant email domain.

 

[Relix]

Ooohhohohoho... Damn.

If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, I am not buying your console until 2015... probably 2016 or 2017 since you pull shitty stuff like this. Good job

 

[Dreams-Visions]

it appears that mistakes were made here.

 

[m@cross]

i agree with the OP

Is that before or after he was banned for PR posting?

 

[Stet]

PRMax isn't a PR company, it's a software company that makes a PR contact database.

So ban him for having a tantrum, but not for being an astroturfing shill.

 

[BatDan]

I love it when astroturfing gets called out.
Keep at it MS.

 

[Apt101]

This made my day.

 

[manueldelalas]

I have absolutely nothing to contribute, but:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BUSTED LOOOOOL

 

[Porcupine]

Haven't laughed this good for a while, Thank you Microsoft!

 

[DryvBy]

This made my day. That guy was getting on my nerves in other threads, too.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Last year was something of a shitstorm, I tell ya h'what.

I thought it was hilarious, it was like

"Fuck Kinect and they can fuck off"

And the PR replies were like " The all in one entertainment system and it's family sharing "

Uhm, yeah, I think we can safely assume that this is part of their cleaning operations.

When I read the original thread title, I came to witness the carnage. Did not expect this, not disappointed.

 

[doomquake]

wow this Silent HIll reveal just keep on getting better

 

[SeventhSon]

SEE THIS BARREL OF FISH

LET ME SHOOT IT

 

[Protein]

Jesus Christ. Slayed into oblivion. A PR guy got dismembered and disemboweled on GAF in front of thousands.

 

[Stet]

LOOK WE FOUND ANOTHER ONE

I work in PR, that's no secret. But not for anything gaming related.

 

[The Last Wizard]

KAPOW KAPOW

I AM THE BEAR WHO SHOOTS

Bish pls you're killing me lol

 

[Gestault]

There are some fair points in the original post. I don't want them conveyed surreptitiously by an advertising agency.

Edit: Apparently this may not apply to the situation here. These events have taken an odd turn.

 

[10k]

Dat title change haha.

 

[Tain]

1. lol awesome
2. getting upset about paid exclusivity is silly

okay see ya

 

[Stimpack]

Those hot "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" references!

 

[red731]

Posting in epic bread.

I am shaking from all this coffee after 5h of non stop playing D3 fuckin RoS and this made me like, laugh as hell. Holy shit

 

[Melfice7]

Im curious, what was the original thread name?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Take the shit out of your ears. Is this mic on?

Too easy mate, too easy

 

[Glass Shark]

Microsoft decides to follow up the PR disaster of the Tomb Raider exclusive with a literal PR disaster.

Good show.

Absolutely hilarious.
