Come on over, we've got punch and pie! No KFC though.
Where do you work, again? Ubisoft?

If it's Ubisoft, ugh, Frag Dolls. Before I was smart I applied to be one. The hell was I thinking.

You might be overestimating the willpower of the average gamer when the newest FPS is in their face.

If they are serious about no used and always online, I'd just rather have a gaming pc and get the sales and better games that the pc gets.

Yeah, working on AC.
Good thing you didn't. Without going into too much detail, i see them as a missed opportunity for us to have done some actual good. And most of the good ones have since retired or moved on to better jobs. Oh well.
^The thing is slay MS got into the gaming world just to slow down sony. They said from the start that they want to be king of the living room. At this point they probably don't give a shit about gaming as much as people think
deal breaker
Dust ain't settling yet E3 is what? 18 days away? this is just getting started. I still expect MS to reach into dat War Chest. Don't know if it's for games or for media...but they will do something huge
deal breaker

I guess I'm not that emotionally invested. After the shitshow and mass shittalk yesterday, I feel like 'meh....doubt it matters a whole lot after E3'

Detail doesn't seem necessary. They were basically in-house booth babes who did actually play games and blogged about it. They didn't seem particularly useful honestly.
Can you put in a word for me with Jade?
I just want to watch tv, not this other shit. Plus who is going to support this when it goes wrong? Cable company or MS?

They have a bit more marketing clout now. And they seem really focused on the e-sports side of things with Shootmania. most of the OG Dolls were competitive gamers to start with. If i were in charge of that program, shit would be so different.
She's gonna be at E3 i hear.

I played with some, they were good at games but it seemed like wasted talent.

This Major Nelson Q&A is cringeworthy.
Ask me anything! Keep in mind, I know nothing.

I swear if someone set up a deodorant stand at places like PAX, they would make serious bank!

I am pretty sure it's not a problem of "oh no, geez, I just showered and can't find my AXE"
Major Nelson is only good for posting sales. Dude is a glorfied community manager.
I don't think thats the problem.
They afraid of water, and don't socialize enough to be told they stank.
that would be a wasted booth

Don't use the bathrooms there. Don't get close to people. Don't be in an enclosed space. Yes the smells are that putrid. It doesn't help that the BO mixes with whatever awful costume plastic and vinyl people wear.
It very much depands on how much you are into the stuff, and your general mindset. I been to a few conventions, but I usually hit up the dealers and than leave.

I've only gone to two with friends (in the hopes of running into one of those hot cosplayers, to no luck) and yeah it smells pretty awful when there's a lot of people.

If they can't even bother to shower before leaving, I highly doubt they're going to fork over money for deodorant.

Bringing back memories. I nearly threw up.
Go to an open "booth" and stay there. And go for the parties.
How do you shit up a wall?
Yeah, I never believed that until tekko 2012. Like damn would it kill them to wash up and use deo :|

Evo isn't that bad. Still smells though.

I think I'm still in denial about the whole thing. As someone who doesn't like to leave the house without showering if I'm gonna be gone longer than an hour tops, I can't fathom the idea of not wanting to shower before heading into an area filled with people.
i'm not that into it. i like anime. but i'm not really into the culture like that anymore. middle school me would've been all over it though.
damn. well then.
Nate is coming back to Seattle to coach the former Bucks/Bobcats under Phil Jackson's front office, he can't take any of these jobs. CP3 is SOL.
Also Jade is attractive but if I can trash her in Mario Kart (or some other awesome multiplayer game) I dunno if I can sign up for that.
I know what you mean. I shower twice a day, and I often go up to 4 times a day when I'm back at home.
Summer time down here you have to bath before you leave the house and when you get back. You be sweating like Dy on Maury.

Yeah it's that bad. I went to a comic convention once as a kid and the smell was so bad man.
Speaking of conventions you guys gotta go to midnight releases. Shit is hilarious .I remember going to to MW2 midnight release at Gamestop and remember how shitty it smelled there.
Air condition broke
Had old ass subs sitting in the middle of the room
Had an 8 year old playing MW2 (that mission where they shot up the Airport. IN FRONT of his mom and shit)
Havn't went to one since but probably will go to the one on my campus for GTA 5

Only ones I've been to are WotLK (WoW expansion) and Smash Bros. Brawl. But the place was maybe a mile away from campus, so it was mostly college kids who had some semblance of regular social interaction, even if they were a bit nerdy.
the only thing close to a midnight event ive been to was a gamestop tournament for mario kart ds. a bunch of teenagers and dudes who should not be around kids. i actually felt bad making grown men cry.
my Harry Potter days put me off midnight releases forever. nothing bad outside of the usual freakshow, i just don't need anything that bad to have it at midnight.
idk why folks think the Bobcats are going anywhere. yeah they suck, but they're locked in here for a while.

Aren't they hemorrhaging money though?
For games? Nah. Don't have all the crazy soccer moms trampling people to get that TV. Although if the place is smart they just hand out tickets to people waiting in line before they open, and the deals are already gone when the store opens.

I want the new consoles day 1 but I'm torn between Midnight releases and ordering from Amazon
idk, you'd have to ask Dy about it. i don't really care about the Bobcats outside of proximity-based interest. i don't think they're going anywhere though, especially w/ the Hornets switch incoming. it'd be kind of pointless, and a waste of money from rebranding, to go through all of that and then move really soon.
is -$13 million hemorrhaging? they have cut their losses each of the past 3 years though.

I remember game stores over here having to call taxis for customers at MW2 midnight launch, cos folks were getting mugged on the way home.
Well for what it's worth, I've never heard of anyone dying at a midnight console launch. I could be wrong though. People get robbed for sure though.
I put a new word out there for gaf.
