Thats him on the right! As if Phil Spencer wasn't epic enough, he had a relative serve in the liberation against the nazis on d-day? #Respect



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Na, WW2 was more exciting.

You can see in his eyes he can't wait to get home and watch some TV.

Presume this is an April fools.

My great-grandfather was too young to serve in the war!

I wonder if he appeared in any of the Call of Duty games.



Proud to be a Californian.

My great-great-grandfather was imprisoned by the Germans in World War 2. On Hitler's birthday, he had to say 'Heil Hitler' and they let him go. The rest of the war, he just stayed at home.

Yeah, Phil Spencer's grandfather is definitely cooler.

Of course it is, though he does have a striking resemblence. And it is a real photo, so I was shocked when I first saw it (it was on a webiste commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day).
