Guy just does his job...I remember doing a focus group a long time ago and he looked at me and said I can get a read from everyone except you. Basically he was able to get people to think the way he did about any point...which is what pr people try to do...I would like to go those focus groups and just get everyone to agree with me and then change my mind at the end always pissed the pr people off..wasn't able to do that with larry's focus group guy knows how to do his job.

I like him, does his job well for the most part. Only reason he gets a lot of shit is cause hes an Xbox guy.

He also over hypes things.


Thats his job.



                            

Don't care much for him tbh. Those inside xbox vids on the dashboard were great, I would mind those guys as the PR guys, but MS cancelled the show.



He's an idiot doing whatever it takes for a paycheck.

No, he's a PR guy which immediately means everything he says should be considered bullshit until proven to be true from alternative sources. Same with politicians.



He's the master of flipping switches. That's the only thing he's good at.



 

I like him better than Reggie so that counts for something, right?

Microsoft got rid of them becuse they were too honest and they also needed more room for advertising.

He sounds like a douche, and I don't like him much. Always makes it seem like any game on X-Box is so amazing and nothing on other consoles compares. He even ocassionally talks down about games on other consoles, saying they are "meh" then getting super hyped about Kinect Adventures.....

However he is paid to be this way, so he does his job well.

Bullshit.

If you actually listened to the podcast, you'd find they often talk about other games.  Is the focus of the podcast Xbox?  Sure, however they aren't limited to talking about Xbox and they often do talk favorably about other games on other systems. 

They NEVER talk down about any game. 

The podcast is a personal endeavor.  His site is privately owned, doesn't use Microsoft technology, and the podcast is done on their own time (before or after work).
