    Looking at his pose in this picture I did have to wonder whether he is full of himself.

    Or he's a big Dr. Evil fan.

    There is that also, true. However it is generally a good idea when posing for a publicity photo not to appear as Doctor Evil, but more in a manner to remind people that you are a responsible CEO of a corporation, with a commitment to your customers. Perception is reality. Everything has its time and place, publicity photos are the time to present the image you want associated with your company.

    Somehow I don't think Sony Corporation would be pleased if Smedley ran around posing for pictures in high heels and fishnet stockings because he was a fan of them. Not to say there's anything wrong with Smedley having a dress up fetish.........

    I think he's throwing down gang sign!

    Well to me this just says 'Hi look at me being a smartass, I've got your money', looks like a prentious pervert, how old is this guy, 12? I'd try to look a little more professional considering the critical stages that AoC is currently in, there are a lot of aprehensive customers out there at the moment.

    He thinks it's a bloody joke or something, just reminds me of an autistic nerd with zero acumen when it comes to PR and at least looking like he has some sort of concern instead of 'oh look at me, I made it big, watch me do a Dr Evil impersonation' Sorry pal Dr Evil impersonations were 5 years ago, next time you get a business photo taken try not to look like a damn buffoon.

    First of all, he is not the CEO of Funcom.  CEO of Funcom: www.funcom.com/funcom/frontend/files/CONTENT/trond.jpg

    My!  What a rapscallion!  I do believe one side of his mouth is upturned, the sure sign of a hooligan!

    The guy you're talking about is the Game Director of Age of Conan.

    I want you to imagine a scenario with me.  Actually, fuck imagining it.  I want you to do this.  Go to one of your friends and say this.  Pick any of them.

    It is a promotional photo for a product. It is also unprofessional. If he wants to act like a child, he will get the respect of a child.

    Flame, flame, flame, talk shit, flame, flame, I'm secretly in love with Gaute Godager, flame.



     And you're calling me angry, I'm not angry, I'm indigant, you on the other hand are angry.

      The man disgusts me.  The way he runs his company and treats his customers is quite simply disgusting.  The bold face lies printed on the AoC box, the complete lack of customer service, the release of yet another game into the genera that isn't quite in a releasable state.

      I respect the folks that obviously put forth a tremendous amount of effort in an attempt to make AoC a great game.   It shows in many areas .... his bottom line decisions are what ruined what could have been.  Yes, I've heard them all.  Investor pressure to release, didn't want to release on top of WAR, they ran out of money ........ blah blah blah.  I quite frankly don't give a shit.  If you can't release a product to consumers without lies and deceit then they won't see any of my money.

      Funcom has a history of this and it's sad to see that history is being repeated.  Said it before and I'll say it again.  Funcom is a shady company ......plain and simple.  That's putting it nicely.

    I love AoC, but I can't stand that guy: He has the most annoying personality and voice.

    I feel sorry for the people working under him.

     

    This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

    Haha, when I first saw this picture, I thought to myself "Wow, what a giant douchebag."

    He sure could use a style advisor, someone who works on his haircut and gives him a more fashionable pair of glasses. Oh and a language trainer. "Oge of Cohnon hos mony closses."

    To generalise broadly:  Norwegians are such posers and they speak English so funny.  It's embarrassing.   Being in a Norwegian family makes me wish I was Martian.   Oh well, at least I'm not Swedish.

    ... What's so bad about Sweden? And regarding the topic: He looks extremely stupid, why would you ever have that pose?

    Nothing is bad about Sweden.  I was simply teasing about the old Norway/Sweden rivalry.  Of course, you might too young, I don't know.  And about his pose, I think he really must have been doing the Dr. Evil thing.

    Question for the OP....

    Why do you fucking care?! And why should I care what  you think?!

    So you hate AoC and everything and everyone associated with it, so fucking what?

    Here's some free advice: GET A JOB!!

    Maybe once you have something to do with your time you can get bent about something that really IS important.

  • SigneSigne Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 2,524

    That's a bit of an over reaction.  And, to be perfectly honest, that picture DOES make him look terribly silly.  People who put themselves in front of a camera and ask for public recognition are always subject to scrutiny. whether it's about their work, personal life or looks.  If he doesn't have a thick skin about these things, he better develop one soon, especially if he plans to look strange for the cameras.  Having said that,  the OP could have been a bit more clever if he wanted to bring attention to Godager's silly picture.  Calling someone a "douche" is such a boring, pedestrian insult.

    Ah, Jimmy

    Over reacting as usual. lol, youd think he just made fun of his mother or something. I think someone is just a tad to bit emotionally attached to AoC.

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    Nah. I just get really tired of the fanboi fagotry every once and awhile. The way these mouth breathing shut ins go on, you'd think these games were their religion or something...

    Does anybody have a pic of Darth Smedley?? His dorky smile and evil radiant aura makes Gaute Godager look like Tom Cruise.

    They were trying to take his picture while he was picking his nose. Unfortunately, they got the idiot after he ate the booger.
