Regardles of whether or not you agree with the review that is way, way, way out of line !
Also it will definately not help improve the reputation of Jeff, Giles and this community in general in the eyes of everyone else who happen to google space giraffe - this is not a private forum you know...

Oh - and I can't wait to have SG running on my 40 inch Samsung - I'm genuinely looking forward to this one - congratulations on going code complete and making this happen yak and giles !

Cheers

He's joking.

Probably.

I say we hunt the cunt down and kill him before he says something like that again.

Fuseball bought up a really interesting point a while ago which is that regardless of whether you are upset about the review the game is definately a MArmite game and is going to generate bipolar reviews.

I remember an interview with the head of marketing at Crysler when they launched the PT Cruiser, he said he was over the moon with the response to the adevrtising and the launch When it was pointed out to him that 50% of the people HATED it he said what impressed him most was that 40% of people LOVED it and only 10% wer in the wishy washy middle ground. Never has a car generated such a high levele of positive reaction, just proving that if you set out to please everybody you're only going to produce average interest whereas if you focus on one specific group well you may actually sell more units.

All said and done it's great PR now

I guess the CitroÃ«n DS was /much/ more of a risky and controversial design, back in 1955, then that pity cruiser could ever be.

Design a UFO, find a handful of genius engineers to build it, and have your boss bet the entire company on it.

They were said to have been just a little nervous the night before the grand opening of the Paris car show. It was either the birth of a national icon, or the death of one. We all know which one happened

Jeff and Giles have all reason to be nervous and excited right now. May your new thing be well received by its target audience

I emailed Major Nelson a few weeks ago and asked him why he hadn't had Yak on the podcast.

Still no â€œofficialâ€ Space Giraffe http://forums.xbox.com/ forum!?!? I wonder if they are attempting to suppress any OXM 2.0 discussions until the game actually comes out.
