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

He needs an anime waifu avatar. Then they will.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Damn.
He should go back to xbox

There is almost nothing left to go back to, aside from a repertoire of game IP.
I am even side-waiting to see when Phil is going to be axed.

 

[Puscifer]

You're down bad for this lol

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

You cared enough to post a meme to show you......checks notes......don't care.

 

[Puscifer]

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.

So he was this Flavor Flav of Xbox?

 

[Northeastmonk]

So he was this Flavor Flav of Xbox?

Sorta. He was a house hold name if you enjoyed following Xbox.

 

[Sakura]

Shouldn't he be retired by now?

 

[EchoByte]

bro must be getting paid peanuts in MS if he's still out here grinding.

 

[DR3AM]

Come back home to the best gaming platform called Xbox Mr. Nelson.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

They call that giving him the ol Full Nelson.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Bluesky curse strikes again

Whats this bluesky curse? Does he post on that shit stain site?

 

[WX3]

I always thought this dude was a tool. BSKY confirms this thought. He was irrelevant when Xbox tried to make him relevant. I didn't notice he left Xbox.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Xbox curse

 

[Disciple of MSSP]

I remember when he was in a Cod4 beta lobby with me in the 2000s. Good luck brotha.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Time for OF.

 

[Arsic]

I didn't even know this retard left Xbox. Why would he? Those are free paychecks bro lmao.

 

[RubberedDucky]

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

Holy fuck, is this true? I knew him personally several years ago

 

[HRK69]

Later nerd

 

[zaga]

I wonder if he regret leaving Xbox.

Pachter regularly makes stuff up but he says that Larry was fired from Xbox (Pachter's words)

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I still have no idea what this man's job is or has ever been.

 

[calico]

He has a million followers on twitter.

Should've stayed there he might have avoided the curse

 

[DenchDeckard]

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

Yeah, he was well and truly invested that gen but damn he had a tough time with it. when ever I actually saw him speak or general messages about the industry he seemed like a really nice guy.

Sad news.

 

[SantaC]

if he is a major; shouldnt he be in the military?

 

[nowhat]

Damn.
He should go back to xbox

For what? To be fired again?

 

[Thebonehead]

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

Yeah. He was also a vice admiral, not a major.

What is this fake news?

 

[Branded]

You're down bad for this lol

That does not mean what you think it means lol.

 

[Windle Poons]

Major fuck up that is.

 

[PlayStaytion]

It's UE5 turn, Make UE5 great again the way you made the 360 great, I believe you could it, screw the ps6 and the nxtgen Xbox consoles, we don't need them.

 

[Hudo]

if he is a major; shouldnt he be in the military?

He has answered the Call of Duty multiple times in his life. Let him rest.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Discharged

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Holy fuck, is this true? I knew him personally several years ago

Xbox lost one of its most influential voices — remembering Albert Penello

Albert Penello’s passing has led to an outpouring of tributes, remembering his impact on Xbox, and the person he was to those around him.

[BlueManifest]

Damn.
He should go back to xbox

Sony, Xbox is going out

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

What is crazy is he most likely left Xbox because he thought they were going to lay him off so he leaves and still gets laid off by the new company .... corporate is so unstable at the moment.

Shouldn't he be retired by now?

Maybe I think he is like 68
