It has come to light that Xbox 360 boss man, J Allard, was recently involved in a nasty mountain bike accident.
Allard walked away with a broken left arm radius and scaphoid—and some cracked ribs. Ouch! However, Major
Nelson has assured us that this unfortunate incident will not delay the Xbox 360's launch. Feel better, J.

J Allard is badass.
I bet he probably stabbed a great white shark to death with a pocketknife and then broke his arm mountain biking later.
It's about time we have a figure in gaming that isnt the stereotypical company-man.You know,a middle-aged guy,married,2 kids,and wears a suit.We need someone for our generation. Next time I hope he comes to a gaming expo with entrance music and a beer in one hand and DS in the other.

Having being in 3 bike accidents, I can say they suck. I hope he recovers OK. Luckily for me I had no broken bones.He must have been going down hill at 18th gear and hit a tree root or something...
But I still think Allard is a corporate poser.

"The top designer on the 2007 line of Ford trucks came down with the flu this weekend, this misfortune will not delay the arrival of new models,"
Pretty weird, eh?

J. Allard is a dumbass.
This isn't the first time it happens to him (a bike accident), so he's not pretty "sleek".
He's just a nerd, turned into geek, or "a chic geek" to some. He used to look like Steve Balmer untill he shaved all his head (because he doesn't have much hair after all), and uses Emo glasses and an earring to look like that.
Why you say? That kind of image may help him sell his Xbox. He wants to sell games to the whole world, not just the hardcore gamers, so he must adopt a nancy metrosexual image "A la Justin Timberlake" to actually make the Xbox seem like it was designed by Giorgio Armani, rather than by Bill Gates.
But deep down, he's just a "rebel" nerd. Period.
