    Official J. Allard forum "Share the love" thread
    Please, do not be afraid to write down your true feelings for this glorious man. How did he impact your video game life? How did he move you during e3?

    For me, he was amazing and I know that I am not the only one who agrees. Sure there are some that can care less, but for those who do, you know who you are,
    and I miss him dearly as well.

    He delivers the goods!

    Everything around J Allard automatically becomes cool because J Allard can spread his coolness around. Its why E3 2005 was so awesome! And BTW he's still in the same division at Microsoft so we can hopefully expect to see him at E3 2010 unveiling Xbox 720 : D

    I must say, that guy could sell snow to an Eskimo!

    I also love how between Xbox and Xbox 360 he became super cool with a shaved head.

    I wonder why they hide him away these days...?

    J Allard was the only company guy from any of the big 3 that looked like he cared about videogames, all the others look like car salesman. J Allard actually made me care about Xbox and Xbox 360. MS need to give him premium face time. Even if its just to see him  doing extreme stunts !!

    I was so bummed not to see the J at E3 this year. I hope they bring him back next year because I can't stand all these robots onstage at E3 any more.
