He's annoying. And old. Why not pick someone your average user can relate to? Someone a bit younger, and maybe a little less dorky?A little more in touch with the younger generation? Anyway, just a rant.

I'd be interested to see if anyone else feels this way.

No, not really. I'm pretty sure anyone in his positions is going to come off as dorky. If Microsoft decided to go with someone the average xbox live user could relate to then Major Nelson would be replaced with a douche if the jerks on xbox live are any indication. Major nelson's videos and stuff are generally there to help the new or less informed gamers, so the way he acts is appropriate, I guess.

Nope.

Him acting dorky and not serious makes him somewhat funny.

They don't get someone younger because they couldn't do his job, it involves much more than just recording movies to tell idiots how to work the basic features of their xbox.

Oh please, you only wish you were as cool as Major Nelson. I mean, c'mon, he's got "Major" in his name, that automatically makes him cool. I can't even pronounce your name... J what?

Major Nelson is a good guy. He does lots of podcasts and actually answers community questions.. I think him and Dan Emrich (of activision) are the two best "community managers" in the video gaming industry. and the average age of gamers is 35 or so, so he's probably around there... He also invented of achievements in video games (gamer score) so you can either love him, hate him, or not care about him for that. :P

He's one of those people that "stick-out" when you see him or when you have a thought about him. Sorta like Pachter and Peter Molyneux. Put a...not so rambunctious person there and things would get boring quickly. I don't have a personal like or dislike about him.

No. I don't have one of those t-shirts. Instead I have a t-shirt that has you and Major Nelson, arm in arm, running down the beach, wearing only Speedos... with the caption "BFFs". I only bought it so I could burn it.

MS should just hire John Hodgman as it's official public face, including Xbox 360. Then we'll see how you feel about dorky and old.

Nope.

Him acting dorky and not serious makes him somewhat funny.

istreakforfood

I find him really lame in terms of jokes. His videos are just a waste of time and are just way too cheesey and seems to act like the videos are intended for children. Now I don't want to punch the guy, I just don't really like him much. But he's better than those awful "Sent-U-a message" guys, those were the worst and I'm glad they got cancelled.

I have no problem with him, he's just a guy doing his job and the videos he puts out are optional to watch.

The ones I do watch of him, he's a geek -- but geek falls under the gamer umbrella; so he's cool in my book.
