    I didn't think it was possible to have a single presenter annoy me this much. I'm actually quite floored by him. I'm not sure if I hate him, or if I should be impressed by his level of awfulness. It's like watching a train-wreck somehow physically manifest the ability to eat-itself. 
    No, scratch that thought: I hate him.
     
    For those watching the Ubisoft press conference is currently being hosted by some bizzarro traveling-salesman with glasses. I think he's trying to make jokes. There's a lot of dead silence from the audience. I think that last thing he said was a Charlie Sheen joke. Did he just say that Hollywood and the gaming industry were great partners? Wait, what?!
     
    Normally I wouldn't make a big deal about this, it's a thankless job to present something like this: But holy-mother-of-god this is beyond horrible. 
    I have to ask: Does anyone know who this guy is? Why is he there...Doing these things?

    I think you are overreacting. He's not the best, but gets the job done.

    It's Ubisoft.  All the presenters in the Ubisoft conferences are terrible.

    This is worse than Joel McHale and Jamie Kennedy re-enacting the Holocaust. Fuck Mr. Caffeine.

    I wonder if they tried to get Joel McHale again or what happened that they ended up with him.

    When he made the reference to the Osama Bin Laden killing I actually laughed. That and his dick joke, it was funny too.

    I loved how no one did the "doo doo doo loo doo loo" time-warp thing with him. What a great audience.

    I think the way he's trying to seem overly dorky (Big Bang Theory-esque dorky that is) is pretty funny.

    He was less like caffeine and more like one of those anti-depressants that has a side-effect of increasing suicidal thoughts and urges.

    Like him or not, least he showed some optimism. Most of these presenters are rather dull.

    He's like a promo for people to stay away from coffee. Nah, actually instead he just gives anything that has caffeine a bad name. What a colossal tit.

    I don't think the audience liked him much either.  Everything he said was met with complete silence.

    It was better than having a dead-serious executive talking about sales and stuff, but yeah, he was a bit annoying.  I think it was just that he was trying way too hard.

    He certain was a terrible host, but this isn't anything that needs its own thread. Instead, it can stay within the Ubisoft press conference discussion thread. That way, those that missed the conference don't need to be as confused, either.

    Thanks!
