I tried to ask a few questions that gamers might be curious about whilst at the same time having a little fun with Dan too. Dan came out of it really well and showed that he doesnt take himself too seriously and as much of our content is quite opinionated and passionate it is nice sometimes to simply have a little fun. That was my aim anyway lol Although I understand where you are coming from, the truth is we live in a world of official press releases and not only is it unlikely we would get a big scoop because of this reason, it also makes it the whole interview process a little uneasy.

Why cant an interview be about the person and not the media that they are selling?! also whats with the guest.. we know who you are hehehe why do an interview on something thats already on xbox live or something that he wont tell. pointless excersize.

Dan Maher is one of Microsoft's main faces over here in the UK, he's hardly going to spill any secrets, he's a friendly face that fronts the big scary corporation, similar to a corporate mascot aimed to create that connection between customer and company. It's not like he's on the Natal development team or anything, so I'm confused as to what information you think we'd get from him? Secondly, I don't see what's wrong with a light-hearted interview that covers a bit about what he does, how he got to do what he does, and the sorts of things he gets up to away from his work. I think you missed the point completely. Hello Shaq, spotted you a mile off… :D

Every single question had nothing to do with the next or the one before it. It went nowhere. It was like a bunch of random filler questions you'd have to answer on a website like twitter or facebook to fill out your profile for people. What a missed opportunity to actually report something.
