[Draugoth]

I am excited to join @benkvalo and the team @midwestgamesco on their mission. I always love working with developers and nothing is more rewarding the helping smaller developers realize their gaming dreams.

Advising on what? How to be a punchable douche?

 

[nowhat]

So instead of Major Nelson, shouldn't he be Mid Nelson now?

 

[damidu]

lol cant wait for the day, xbox zealots turn on spencer. will be a sight.

oh, give a chance.

 

[GymWolf]

Petty officer third level Nelson maybe?

 

[mitch1971]

A man with a sirname made from dropped Scabble tiles.

 

[Windle Poons]

Next game exclusive to Xbox.

 

[analog_future]

That seems like a huge step down.

Maybe his end of employment w/MS wasn't his choice? Or maybe he just wanted a more low key job, which would be understandable.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Whenever I see his face, I immediately think of, "Have you played Titanfall?"

 

[bender]

Had to Google Mid West Game Co. Seems like he could have done better.

But you know, like, Midwest games... I know it was a terrible joke, but when I have a chance, I'll take it.

 

[Reaseru]

Look, a below than average game studio hired a equally below average but controversial and well known spokesman precisely for that...media attention.

 

[GHG]

Microsoft acquisition in 3... 2...

 

[Sushi_Combo]

In other news, Sony has just acquired midwestgames studio.

 

[theHFIC]

This is the video game equivalent of when a football player starts working at a car dealership.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Is Major Nelson a euphemism?

 

[Topher]

I guess the visits to Apple and Nintendo did not go as well as hoped?

This news confirms me he was fired over his ABK comments

 

[cash_longfellow]

Minor Nelson

 

[Quantum253]

Wondering if he has to reduce the usage or lose the "Major Nelson" tag because of its longtime association with Xbox. We shall see, I don't think Larry has been doing much in the game space as of late anyway.

 

[SmokedMeat]

How much could a small indie with one unknown game possibly be paying him?

Major Nelson is a character in I Dream of Jeannie.

Really pathetic to base your persona on a fictional character

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

What did he say? Probably something cocky and dismissive.

 

[Moses85]

What a downgrade

 

[GHG]

Thank God.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

That low effort job slapping their badge onto an incredibly low res image of him should be a legal offense.

Well crap, I thought it had something to do with Halo. I Dream of Jeannie is weird throw back

 

[Hudo]

It's a pretty good job for the midwest, tho.

The Rockstar Games of Wisconsin, or so they say.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think he will make a great Advisor. Good luck.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Well he just left a mediocre western company so he will feel right at home.

 

[Hugare]

As an advisor, dude will get paid for basically nothing

So good for him, I guess

But a huge downgrade for his resume

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Yoboman]

Well he has a lot of experience in mid

 

[bender]

60's sitcom.

 

[Draugoth]

What did he say? Probably something cocky and dismissive.

He blantaly stated that their job was to kill PlayStation.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Is this the guy that voices the star on that sponge show?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

So he was discharged to midwest.

Though I do think he was forced to "retire".

 

[Bernkastel]

Well he just left a mediocre western company so he will feel right at home.

You seem to be a big fan of that "mediocre western company" and very dedicated to discussing every aspect of them.

 

[N30RYU]

He would have advised them to not hire him

 

[cireza]

Advising on what?

How to smile maybe ?

 

[M1chl]

Watch it being bough by MS down the line

Dude is almost on retirement, he's resume is worthless.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

It's about the Rolodex he has and publisher in-roads.

 

[kyussman]

More like Private Nelson now I'd say.

 

[phaedrus]

So he wasn't actually a military man?

Stolen Valor!
