|
| My name is James Allard. You may have heard of me as the CXO of Microsoft. I find this community at the insert credit forums quite intriguing. You are not just the epitome of the devoted gamer but of our generation's swayers and thinkers in the generation of enjoyment. I will stay here to get insight on what you want in the future of the videogame revolution that is a 360. Yes i may be a polarizing figure and yes I like to use new terms and buzzwords and wear box glasses but I want your honest insight, hell I maybe even might talk about other stuff, joke chill around, just become a member of this community. I really believe in your input as we understand our mistakes and our willing to hear your ideas too make gaming in general better. It is the true gamers and artists who will innovate the industry not people who just analyze sales or focus groups as I unfortunately may have been guilty of allowing the past couple years. Anyway thanks for listening. So lets get this discussion on like Donkey Kong. |

Well sorry no air mouse contoller in the forseeable future. And this Icycalm fella. I'm not him. Im typing from a friends laptop at a Hotspot in Coral Gables Miami the IP is BellSouth I believe. But this Icycalm sure loves my vision. You should listen to this man. |

Oh. Right. Florida.
Perhaps our simulated J. Allard will attract the real J. Allard, and then we'd be in business. Microsoft announcing an airmouse would be like Sony announcing a touchscreen add-on for the PSP. It's a brilliant tactical move, in an Art of War sort of way. And obviously not the way businesses think anymore.
I blame the Ethernopians.

| Probably PGR3 and whatever assorted EA ports make it out with the system and Morrowind because it unlocks additional features in the Hard Drive! |

| This is gonna be my last post for a while since my plane is coming and I have a busy ass work week. Waffen I was joking when I said more money for me. I have a fixed yearly income so my salary wont bump if you buy 3 360's. And I wont comment on the 360 price. But yeah it's arguable. Anyway buy Project Gotham Racing 3. It's the roxxorzz!11!!!!!!11111! and has Audis in it! And there is still hope Waffen. Still hope. That said Enahs Mik is a cunt. |

Mr. Allard, I would like you to clear up this contraversey surrounding your extreming sporting accident, if you could. Some of my friends believe the injury occured during a rousing session of water polo, but I am squarely in the bull fighting camp. I think you should try snake charming next.
Also, I would like to know if you are jealous of Peter Moore's mean Halo 2 tattoo, and if we were planning on getting a 360 one once you announce the launch date? You could get a "core" one on the left arm, and a "manly man's" one on the right. This would probably cause me to buy approximately six more launch games than the zero I would have otherwise purchased.
Thank you for your time. |

That is bullshit. All those are pussy sports if you ask me. I fought the most dangerous of beast. Man itself with iron fists of fury. Many have died in the name of Allard. I guess I'll get a tatoo for the 2 360's. The Hd era needs your support. |

hi J. Allard. I interviewed you at GDC, and you were too charismatic for even me.
When we thought of the tagline for the cover of the issue it went into, I suggested 'What Would J Do" - and we used it. Ahhhh good times.
P.S. hope your hand is ok. |

As long as we're handing them out, I'll take two Xbox 360's. I need the extra cause i tend to snap consoles in half with my fury when i lose in Halo2/Ninja Gaiden.
Jallard, It's a pleasure doing business with you. Please continue doing great things. |

DOA Xtreme Volleyball
Jet Set Radio Future
Shenmue 3
Panzer Dragoon Orta

What does CXO stand for?
"Mr. Allard, you're quite an adept businessman. For all the years you've been with our company, you've proven yourself to be one of the most responsible and intelligent employees at Microsoft. Your charming, dorky looks and cunning business savvy has saved us billions of dollars. But I haven't taken you and your lovely wife to the finest Applebee's in Manhattan just to compliment you, Mr. Allard. I came here to ask you a question, Mr. Allard, and I want you to think about your answer: What would you say if I offered you the privelege of managing all things X-Treme?" |

Man. I have been schooled in both threads. I don't eat at Applebee's though. Especially in Manhattan. The shear amount of midwestern tourists has to be depressing. Anyway I just became a vegetarian and my hand is better from my XTREME Accident. Also I'm thinking of getting Nintendogs. Any ideas for which dog I should get? |

Mr Allard are you here because you are trying to convince the hardcroe IC posters to buy XBOX360? I think that's why you are here. You are trying to convince us, the most jaded of the jaded, the most hardcore of the hardcore.
I appreciate your interest in us and I pledge my loyal support to the cause. I will be updating the IC community DAILY with XBOX360 news and rumors. I won't rest until every IC member has bought two XBOX360 systems and 10 games so you will have a high attach rating. |
