Major Nelson trolls for hits, promises early NXE possibility photo

Major Nelson loves pageviews as much as any other blogger, as evidenced by the fact that he recently urged people to keep an eye on his site next week. According to the cheeky Xbox Live funster, there could be a chance of early access to the New Xbox Experience if you continue to check the Major Nelson blog out.

Here's what the man of mystery had to say in a recent MS podcast: 

"...I know you as my audience, you guys, you like to pick up and play. You want to get your hands on it and I don't blame you because you'll enjoy it. In fact, if you want to get your hands on it, let me just say this... keep an eye on my blog next week."

Oh Larry, is this what you are reduced to? Are the hits you already make not enough? Why, next you'll be taking Peter Molyneux quotes out of context to generate pageviews. You'll never be a real-life games journalist if all you care about is the clicks.

Also, I'll be giving away free chocolate and gold next week. Stay tuned to DESTRUCTOID for your chance to WIN WIN WIN!

As long as we're all aware of the irony of making a post teasing the post that's teasing the thing in question.

Umm... last time I checked this website does the same type of thing to generate hits. Maybe you should, you know, stop thinking you're better than everyone else and lose some weight. The "lost some weight" part being just good advice but not necessarily related to this post. But yeah, we get it, you apparently don't like anything game related, yet you work for a gaming website... yeah...

Good going!

God, u guys just POST so people will visit.
Go on, stop posting, and your pageviews will go down, therefore, you're JUST AS BAD.

It's logic, mate.

Taking Peter Molyneux quotes out of context for pageviews? I respect a man who can make fun of himself.

This post was a joke and I like Major Nelson. So um, why don't you now fuck off and never comment on one of my posts again? Since we're dispensing advice out, you little cunt.

Was about to comment on how harsh that was, but re-reading...yeah, deserved.

With various other warning comments and the picture you'd think people wouldn't be that stupid but hey.

I see that Jim Sterling has a sensitive spot called self-esteem... Apparently no one is allowed or permitted to disagree or call you out on something that could be perceived to be ignorant or disrespectful for real. Nice job trying to contribute to making Destructoid a great and friendly community video game website. Why not yell some racial slurs and curse words at me to seal the deal of you being nothing more than an immature kid trapped in 3 immature kids bodies... Just some more advice to you

HA! Friendliness works both ways, moron. Why not learn to act like someone who isn't a prick before expecting to be treated like one?

@ Tmills2002

Seems to me, judging from your first comment, the only one who took this comedic post OUT of the friendly zone is you.
