I wonder if he regret leaving Xbox.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

God speed.

No way

 

[Chuck Berry]

Fuckin Larry Herb. Forever a douche.

 

[JCK75]

I so badly want an engine to enter the scene that looks and runs great.. cause UE5 is a slog of shit.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Didn't he switch allegiances from a 360 weeble over to the Trey?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Wait... I thought he recently passed away?

Only someone who is over 30 would comment in a Major Nelson thread.

Maybe you're thinking of Penello who just died of cancer.

nothing of value was lost

 

[neo raider]

Damn.
He should go back to xbox

 

[DenchDeckard]

Maybe you're thinking of Penello who just died of cancer.

Oh damn, shit. R.I.P. I somehow missed this.

Fuck Cancer!

 

[Hyper_hyper]

Eh

 

[poppabk]

It was only when he left Xbox to join them that I learned he was a real person - I always thought he was just a made up 'character'.

 

[xrnzaaas]

So what was his job at Unity anyway? Make people forget about Unity's plans to alter the deals and rob the devs of their money?

 

[falconhoof]

Wait... I thought he recently passed away?

You're thinking of the other one, Horatio Nelson. He did pass away back in October. Of 1805. Dropping likes flies they are.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Should get a kickstarter going with Mr Pointyhead.

[SEGAvangelist]

Oh damn, shit. R.I.P. I somehow missed this.

Fuck Cancer!

Yeah. Awful. Penello got dragged pretty hard here for the Xbox One power stuff, but he seemed like a good dude.

I would guess that's the majority of GAF.

What the fuck is an Emeritus?

 

[Von Hugh]

What the fuck is an Emeritus?

Ah, emeritus is just another word for "douchebag".

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

What the fuck is an Emeritus?

It means "out of the service", or "retired".

 

[K' Dash]

what the fuck does he do?

I never knew what his job was when he was at Xbox.

He has a million followers on twitter.

 

[HDinRed]

Miss the days of him and Kevin Butler cheering on fanboys..

 

[Bark]

Just proves how incompetent xbox is, when not even Unity wants this guy. I bet Phil won't even last a week at Unity

 

[Kilau]

Chief Fud Peddler.

 

[Rocky_Balboa]

Maybe I am wrong, but I think he doesn't know or care about games even after working in the industry for over 20 years.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Anyone know what he actually did at Xbox and Unity?

Is his job just to do some social media tweets and Q&A sessions once in a while?

 

[ByWatterson]

He's a real G. We like him.

 

[MMaRsu]

Guy was always a corpo clown

 

[MacReady13]

Guy was always a phoney, fake ass fucker. I'll never forget that time he went to that fat fucking youtuber lunatics house after the Xbone reveal so he could basically pedal back all the shit they had pushed and said couldn't be reversed on the Xbone... It was so pathetic. He was just a company man mouthpiece piece of shit.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Itchy Tickles]

I think people who care what social media platform someone uses are just as dumb as those who think moving services actually makes any difference in the big picture. Such a weird thing that has become, especially considering its all shit.

Only just remembered he left Xbox, don't actually know what he does. Is he not just some P.R guy or did he actual do developmental work? It's been so long since the 360 days.

 

[jshackles]

Is he going to get re-hired somewhere else as Private Nelson?

 

[Sushi_Combo]

What did he even do at Unity?

 

[bender]

Is he going to get re-hired somewhere else as Private Nelson?

 

[semiconscious]

It was only when he left Xbox to join them that I learned he was a real person - I always thought he was just a made up 'character'.

me, i'm still not sure you were wrong...

 

[Northeastmonk]

I have to wonder how much they were paying him versus what they actually got from him. Not that he's bad at what he does, but does the industry even need people like that anymore? I toned out the whole streamer culture cause that got super annoying to give attention to. Best part about Major Nelson is that he was the guy telling you video games were cool. Being motivated to play a game is so much better than watching someone play games on a set schedule.

Good point about it being Unity. Game companies hire some young girl with an X or Discord profile to run their communities anymore.
