yeah he went from "alcoholic slob" to "guy that probably gets laid often"

 

[RiZ III]

Its hard to believe thats the same person.

 

[Ryudo]

Slime crawlers who post here? Would that include you? Get up off your knees already. Defending someone who doesn't even know you exist.

Whats the matter baby ? Got a problem with being civil ?

As for me being a slime crawler .... well lets just say i dont pay out on people because of the way they look. Even if i know the guy or not, i wont stand by and let piss ants say shit like that. I also think you should grow up, insinuating that i suck cock is a mark of a preppie little shit.

83% of posters on this forum, and I am not even fucking around, are currently wearing shorts and a black XL Beefy-T T-Shirt with some type of dragon on the front.

PS., putting a black biker jacket atop that ensemble will not cause bras to fly off any faster.

Hey, cargo shorts aren't bad if worn 'properly'. People who wear those fucking shirts deserve all the hate they get, though.

I am currently wearing a potato sack.

 

[drohne]

yyyyeah, given that the public faces of microsoft are bill gates and steve ballmer, somehow i doubt corporate pressure had anything to do with j's makeover.

he does look like kind of a twat, though.

and cargo shorts are never ok.

 

[Particle Physicist]

That was a pretty sarcastic remark. My actual reaction was along these lines

:.(

 

[xsarien]

I think people are more just mocking the fact that this makeover was probably forced upon him by MS Marketing. Which is, PRETTY FUCKING OBVIOUSLY TRUE.

Pretty much. There's "making yourself look good," and then there's "Can't make it more obvious that he's pandering to a specific market."

 

[Ristamar]

This place is so fucking stupid,you know you have too much time on your hands when you make posts of people you don't even know and mock them,heh.

Er... doesn't that happen here on an hourly basis as it is?

 

[Days like these...]

I have problem being civil? You're the one who called the board slime crawlers and piss ants is one word pissants. His make over was forced by M$ that's why we're laughing get that through your head

This is important!

LOLlerhates. This post has struck a nerve. Husky shut-ins angrily hammering keys, while making ill-informed claims that "M$" also has a monopoly on J Allard's wardrobe.



We need Queer Eye for the GAF Poster.

 

[cvxfreak]

He didn't look so weird in 2001.

 

[DCharlie]

"I know if I had the money that J has (worked at MS for almost 15 years now, so he is EASILY worth over $30 million in stock if not more. I know if I had to be in front of the public I'd be spending some money to look good."

yeah, right! MS -FORCED- him to do it because they are so EVIL!

I am merely reacting to the slime crawlers paying out on the way a person looks. If you like to laugh at the way people look then take it somewhere else, like preschool.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Jesus Christ. I'd like to see you people become the public figure head of something as big as this and not become a little more self aware of your personal appearance. Only on fucking GAF can diet, excersize, good grooming, and fashion sense become a candidate of some sort of PR conspiracy.

 

[Zilch]

Definitely looks better now, I can't believe some of you would prefer 'chubby, balding computer dork' over anything.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

seen as everyone else is pimp and fly, lets see YOUR fucking pictures and GOD FORBID if anyone has changed their look over the last few years....

I dunno i think The thread Starter (matlock) is pretty pimp and fly.

 

[Geek]

Did anyone read "Survivor"? It makes me think of J's transformation.

If only he was pimp smooth.

 

[Firest0rm]

Yea MS definitely had a big say in what he wears but I don't see whats so bad about it. He should be happy MS forced him to do this , maybe it was the "encouragement" he needed to improve his appearence. Good for him! He gets paid well and started looking better thanks to MS! However I think he should get rid of the ear ring.

 

[Stinkles]

Speaking of diet and exercise, Hitler Stole My Potato, can I ask you a serious favor? Can you change your avatar? I haven't been able to get it up since I caught Rosie O'Donell playing the bus retard on that movie last week. I haven't needed viagra so much since Kathy Bates got out of the hot tub in About Schmidt.

 

[demon]

and cargo shorts are never ok.

Maybe if you wear them baggy as fuck and halfway between your knees and your ankles. But if they actually fit you, it's warm weather, you're wearing something like sandles, and a nice casual short-sleeved shirt, it's A-OKAY. All the girls' opinions I've heard on cargo shorts are that they're fine, too, and some think it's hot. But then again, real-life girls tend to affect my style decisions a bit more than random dudes on an internet game forum.

What's NOT ok are those retarded looking formal shorts that are almost as short as boxers, especially on the doofuses who tuck their fucking shirts into that shit. Those people need to be run over.

You ogres are just jealous :lol

Yeah, I'm getting sick of looking at Rosie's retarded ass myself. Time for a change!

We need Queer Eye for the GAF Poster.

Hahaha ... you're not fooling us with your postings you know. We all know that Shane Kim guy comes by your dank miserable cubicle every day and threatens to bite the neck off a kitten if you don't continue to spread their lies on the GAF.

 

[Tellaerin]

yyyyeah, given that the public faces of microsoft are bill gates and steve ballmer, somehow i doubt corporate pressure had anything to do with j's makeover.

But Gates and Ballmer look like your typical IT department guy and your typical overbearing middle manager, respectively. Their appearances match the target audience for their business products. Customers in those markets can relate to those guys.

Allard's old image, on the other hand, didn't mesh with the intended Xbox demographic. I really do believe his new look originated with the marketing department--it seems like a contrived effort to make him look 'hip' and 'trendy'.

I have nothing against the idea of someone bettering himself, and if J's happier with his current look, more power to him. I just feel that it rings a little false, that what we're seeing here is an image created by PR people rather than something that originated within the man himself. It's that feeling of calculatedness that doesn't sit well with me. *shrug*

 

[aoi tsuki]

Ack... Tellaerin beat me to it.

Sigh.

You seem to forget that some of us are pale stickboys who can't get laid if a drunken girl threw herself at us. Luckily, only the stickboy part is true in my case.

 

[Stinkles]

If saying GAF posters err on the side of pale/husky is a lie, I don't want to be a truthteller. And if MS' Shane Kim came by my cubicle, it would be surprising for all sorts of reasons.

 

[VPhys]

Wow. The guys looks great, like he lost 10 years and 50lbs.

thread title should be: "J Allard does a TOTAL 360"


get with the times man.

 

[newsguy]

Wow. The guys looks great, like he lost 10 years and 50lbs.

Actually, the new Allard is running on 3 mulitcore 5.8 Ghz processors with 45.67895 Gflops of supercompositioned dots per pixel shader terabytes. He's Next-Gen Allard.

But truth is he performs at only 60-70% of what was originally expected.

 

[Gahiggidy]

nm.

 

[gamergirly]

Ever seen Celion Dion's criss cross teeth and frizzy hair before she made it big? Money can change you...literally :lol

 

[Dragmire]

He looks way better than the old weasely munchin look he used to have... but not at all good. Tits on a bull. And he's still a feminine hygiene product for vaginal cleansing.

Okay, raise your hand if you failed trigonometry.

Okay, raise your hand if you failed trigonometry.

I'm fairly certain that was a sarcastic reference to the old "360" thread.

 

[Hero]

He looks a lot better now. But he does look like a tool with the ear piercing and those glasses. If he lost them I would respect him a lot more.

 

[StRaNgE]

That's what I was going to say. Then again you have to realize that 95% of the people on this forum have zero fashion sense (or any concern for their physical appearance for that matter). Hell, most GAFers probably look very similar to the pre xbox launch Allard. :lol :lol :lol

wow i am in the 5% i feel special.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I'm just blown away that it's the same person. He looks like fucking Michael Stipe. His social life must be different.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Speaking of transformations, anyone seen Peter Jackson lately? The guy has lost a ton of weight.

Before

After

 

[Cubsfan23]

If only Nintendo had the same passion as MS employees

 

[Gio_CoD]

That's a nasty meth addiction that Peter Jackson picked up.

And I'm all for people bettering themselves, but the Allard transformation is pretty laughable. It's amazingly obvious that he's trying to look "extreme" and cool. Do I think MS's marketing team had something to do with it? Hell yeah I do. I'm not saying that Allard wasn't along for the ride, but I bet it originated in the PR department.
