J. Allard's X360

[bean19]

Curious as to how Microsoft's Corporate Vice President rolls with his X360? Look no further. Thanks Engadet (http://engadget.com/entry/1234000137071998/)!

No pirate theme? I expected J. Allard's X360 to be covered in parrots, chests filled with gold, and skulls and crossbones, etc.

[rein]

I do believe that this is proof that J. Allard is a big dork. All hail the king dork.... ..is that fucking Hello Kitty? Some sort of Paul Stanley Hello Kitty?

[ezzkmo]

"Sorry you consumers are having a hard time finding our product. You can't even get one unless you pay $1000 on ebay, but take a look at my cool badass looking one that you can't have. Merry Christmas, love J-All."

dummy.

[eeje13]

Looking at that, I get the impression that he's trying too hard.

[Jetherik]

Obviously, someone did it up for him. Where is the Evil Avatar logo?

[IndependentGMR]

This is awesome. I'm going to start putting stickers on all of my consoles.

[Samurai Joe]

This is awesome. I'm going to start putting stickers on all of my consoles.

You're not scared of any heat issues?

[bobbler]

J-All? is that like Allard's equivalent of J-Lo?

[thecrazyd]

Dude is just about the biggest poser I have ever seen. Everytime I hear him talk, or catch a mention of his name, I am vaguely annoyed.

[Savok]

Dear god, don't these people own a piece of electronics that they haven't defaced with shit in someway? Custom faceplate sure, it's part of the console, but covering it in stickers?

[rubek]

Looks to me like someone forked out for a sticker pack, or yoinked the freebies that came with the son's magazine.
I have always had a problem with people spattering goods with any niche related marketing iconography they can find.
It screams, "look at me, I'm associated with all these brands and their respective values".

[Tennistoad]

WTF is wrong with that guy? Girl bunny stickers?? and Hello Kitty crap?? If that's not his daughters machine, Then He's on his way to the "unitarian church for the service"

[Kelegacy]

Poser. Exactly what I was thinking.

Unless he gives me a 360 when he sees that I've posted that...then he's the coolest fucker on the planet.

Where is the sticker of fitbabit's cackenbawls? Maybe its too small for me to see in these pictures.

[rubek]

If it is his daughter's machine, she seems to be an avid skateboarder.
I think that 360 is suffering some gender issues.
I am "down" with the skateheads, though, delight in my femininity

[Phhhh]

he's such a fucking tool

[thecrazyd]

I seriously doubt J Allard is a girl or a skater.

[captainstrombosis]

Wow im glad others had "POSER!!!" flashing in their minds when they saw that. WTF is hello kitty doing on there? Where are all the $$$ symbols? Where's the buttpirate sticker with the "I bent you over and you liked it" sticker??? Man, He needs to get out of touch with his inner skateloser. Yes, all u skateboarders can kiss my big fat... Monitor!

[bapenguin]

Too....many...stickers....

[TheBrainKills]

You guy's have it all wrong...its a Anti-Theft motif. No one is going to steal that thing. Matter a fact it could end up in the garbage if he doesn't watch it.

[fitbabits]

Ahem... The only thing missing is a biohazard sticker, which I think would look pretty nice on the Xbox 360.

[Morrolan]

I'm going to bet that J-Allard never even saw that thing. Marketing pilfered it from his office with a vague "it'll help sell consoles!" and a full two weeks later, after many long hours and a few dozen K earned each, they produced this wonderful piece of shit, along with a place of Allard to fill in his name.

[Tharsis]

Looks like the main button is a skull with crossbones - right? HE IS A PIRATE! Arrrrrrrrrrr!

[Liquidize105]

Hahahaha, Jesus Christ :D

[Atepsflame]

So... J. Allard just slaps a bunch of random stickers on his 360 and calls it good? This hardly seems a mark of genius.

[Royal Fool]

Didn't Mr. Allard fall off his bike a few months back and injured himself?

Doubt he's much on skateboards though. This really does reek with marketing - look how they plastered some of the stickers right on the DVD drive and the ports. What good does that do?

[KarmaGhost]

Dude is just about the biggest poser I have ever seen. Everytime I hear him talk, or catch a mention of his name, I am vaguely annoyed.Poser. Exactly what I was thinking.I just wanted to be the third to say this because it's the first thing I thought when I saw this monstrosity, I'm just late, is all.

[aversion2k]

I wonder what his diary looks like

[JediSanf]

I never bought into Allard's "gamer-cred". His transformation (shaving his head) always seemed like some frat ritual that Balmer and Gates made him do so he could be VP.

[Stryfe01]

I thought that at first...but anyone who thinks that they are that "cool", must really be like that. Meaning it is not an act. there is just no way that it he could get away with it for that long. He's stuck in the early '90's just like I still go to places and see guy's with mullets, jeans shorts and wearing '80's rock band shirts. Even though they are like 55.

Some people just find change hard....poor bastard.

[Zeal]

What a fucking faggot.

[Savok]

Hello Kitty is probably the best thing (http://www.jmate.com/features/article_3.html) on there.

Also

"Going limp"

"HAARRRRR!!"

[BenN1ce]

Homosexual

[Mister Pie]

Man, there's a lot of hate here.

[Nite_Moogle]

I hope he knows that he voided his warranty by doing that

Girl bunny stickers rock. So does Hello Kitty.

There are plenty of guys who are secure in their sexuality and get to enjoy stuff you would find effeminate, but you don't really get to be secure in your sexuality until you actually start having sex. . . so, you know, that's something for you to look forward to.

[TKO]

I just have a some observations...
1. Good to see that, even in a thread of hate, Zeal can still stand out with the dorkiest comment.
2. If I worked at a company where half the workforce has a 360 too, I think some form of customization would be damn near mandatory. (The jury is still out on whether the younglings had a hand in said customization.)

PS: But yeah, I can't deny the word poser was present in my mind too. ;)

[Achilles]

Ahem... The only thing missing is a biohazard sticker, which I think would look pretty nice on the Xbox 360.He’s still got an inch or two of white space left on there, give it time.

I wouldn’t have gone with stickers but that’s just me. I think this is just his work 360.

[Savok]

At least get some direction in there. I've seen some awesome modded PCs because the style of it is constant, not a total mess like this is.

[Heretic Machine]

Ya, J. Allard is a big p0ser! u guys are teh h4rdc0re!

Is ego-tripping faster than taking the bus?

[Ravana]

The first word that popped into my head was "Poser"

I'm not h4rdcore, "leet" or a microsoft hater, but seriously - this looks like something Punky Brewster would own. What the hell happened to Allard?

[Savok]

Marketing brainwashed him, he used to be a wonderful sweaty bald guy who liked to say "developers" over and over, it was endearing.

[Rirath]

I don't know what's wrong with all of you...
I think it's fabulous! ;)

[OUX]

/shakes head

[QueQueg]

Seriously, this is total bullshit. Stickers over the bay and ports?

I'm going to take a dump on a 360 and call it art. Or personalization. Or something.

According to this photographic evidence, I surmise that the Xbox actually ages PEOPLE like fine wines (rather than video). Buy and Xbox and you'll slowly grow into an International Hipster! ;)

*please pay careful attention to the emoticon that declares this to be a joke*

[drakkarim]

this is what you get when you order your staff to decorate your 360 so that he doesn't look like the clueless suit he is but instead a hip guy.

if anything it looks like he spent too much time down in japan with all those stickers and crap.

[critch]

This 360 has never been turned on. There's stickers blocking the heat vents on the side. We all know what happens if the thing isn't properly ventilated...

Excellent :>

This should had been posted early. <J. Allard = Poser>

[ezra]

Wow Bean, that guy really has had a makeover. Jesus.

And what, is this guy twelve? Whats with all the skater stickers circa 1999?

[Mr.Green]

Fresh air, meet Evil Avatar readers. Evil Avatar readers, meet fresh air.

[Crabby]

That thing looks so horrible. "Like it belongs in an actual horror movie" caliber of horrible.

[Sl1pstream]

I don't actually think it's that bad, wouldn't do it to my own box, but still.

[EmoryM]

If I went over to a friend's house and their 360 looked like that, I would probably assume they were either on street drugs or abusing perscription medication.

Girl bunny stickers rock. So does Hello Kitty.

Wow, somebody got offended. Allard keep you in the closet with that godawful 360 of his?

[bean19]

Not offended really.

I just think that "poser" is a much more accurate descriptor than "th3 g4y". Also, I pretty much hate macho generalizations.

[captainstrombosis]

I don't think anyone said "t3h g4y". And the vibe of the thread has indeed been "poser". And there is a line when being "secure" in your sexually does actually turn into being homosexual. Im pretty sure most people on EvAv are damn cool about sexuality. There was quite a long and supportive thread about "being the straight guy".

The fact is, that is not even a functioning XboX with the stickers placed where they are. So he is ABSOLUTELY posing. And anyone claiming hes "t3h g4y" is the exception, not the rule.

[Zeal]

Let this gay thread die.

Allard = gay.
