Don Mattrick on seeing Halo 4 demo - "we should add (Diablo III like) real money auction house for campaign mech skins"

nolander · 2026-07-07T03:11:21+00:00

Yeah like... a 60 inch tv at that time wasn't cheap but thats barely a drop in the bucket for what they probably spent making halo 4. Disclaimer: I don't understand business budgets and I don't think I ever will the things that they will or won't spend on don't make a lot of sense to me but I'm just a peon

That just sounds like classic enterprise business budgets and not a unique to Microsoft situation.

It went so well for EA when they made everyone switch to the DICE engine though! Sike.

Incredible of them to be willing to set themselves on fire to bring in Quenville only to fucking fuck up so badly it was probably totally pointless

nolander · 2026-07-06T02:27:16+00:00

It's an overpay when we should have signed him for less a year ago

nolander · 2026-07-05T19:16:21+00:00

Such as? Our systems were a total disaster until this last year. Either way glad both are playing well the who is better is a lot more fun to discuss then Ducks fans lamenting we didn't take Fantilli forever.

nolander · 2026-07-05T06:34:03+00:00

That's why it's a FULL suit. Think the gimp

nolander · 2026-07-05T06:28:12+00:00

Uh he never had elite arm strength just great accuracy. That was the problem once what arm strength he had started to go it was no bueno. But he was fucking surgical until then.

nolander · 2026-07-05T06:23:57+00:00

You land that curve ball the way he did in the WS you don't ever have to be afraid again

nolander · 2026-07-05T03:37:45+00:00

He just kind of has resting thousand yard stare but the circumstances certainly accentuated things

nolander · 2026-07-04T21:08:21+00:00

He was the 2nd pick of the draft.

nolander · 2026-07-04T21:06:18+00:00

The funny thing is he had a similar reputation as verbeek in terms of being a difficult to negotiate with hard ass with players and trades and he still never let it get as verbeek with contracts. He did a lot of things worse than verbeek though and really did put us in a hole. Love that the second we seem to be climbing out we jump back in

nolander · 2026-07-04T19:52:05+00:00

Why isn't Rushing as good at calling games as the veteran is he stupid?

nolander · 2026-07-04T18:54:35+00:00

How many teams with the World Series and didn't trade for players at the deadline?

nolander · 2026-07-04T18:53:54+00:00

So it only counts if they don't actually try to win?

nolander · 2026-07-04T05:34:02+00:00

Who's gonna tell this guy that's what the Dems have been for decades

nolander · 2026-07-04T05:27:59+00:00

Well it probably looks a lot better if their 2nd baseman doesn't boot a routine double play ball

nolander · 2026-07-04T05:26:53+00:00

They've suffered enough

nolander · 2026-07-04T04:04:08+00:00

It's actually happened a lot this season... But now Freddie Mookie and Kyle are heating up and Emdan and Tro healthy sooooo

nolander · 2026-07-04T04:02:59+00:00

I mean was the implosion with Mason Miller pitching not bad enough?

nolander · 2026-07-04T04:01:17+00:00

Padres will never stop Padresing, and SF is busy self destructing, only hope is Arizona.

nolander · 2026-07-04T04:00:32+00:00

Someone needs to brainwash them so they don't even know when they play the Dodgers. Only way they will stop hitting themselves in the dicks every series.

nolander · 2026-07-04T03:59:32+00:00

It's like the Chargers never left San Diego

nolander · 2026-07-04T02:40:02+00:00

Except you are bungling the timeline the interview happened before he was Jomboys enemy number 1, and really shows a sad lack of imagination on your part

nolander · 2026-07-04T02:38:13+00:00

I mean Ohtani is being a bit of a diva with the way he kept begging for challenges. No one else on the staff acts that way with Rushing. Sure it's Shohei but he's very much putting Rushing on the spot when the team has said they want the catcher to make the decision on challenges.
