Aaron Greenberg: Ladies Man
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 8:30 PM on June 17, 2008
It's Kotaku After Dark. Time to set the mood. This should about do it! You may normally know him as Microsoft's Director of Product Management for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, but tonight (well, at GDC, but oldies can still be goodies), no. No, tonight, Aaron Greenberg's playing the P.I.M.P. with a couple of Penthouse Pets, discussing the kinda shit he likes to get up to in the hot-tub. Yes, really. Sadly the vid's not embeddable, so you'll have to hit the link.

very very random and interesting.
he held it together pretty good considering the situation, I know many of us would have had our left hand on the chick on the right.

Why the adult entertainment industry don't routinely interview their subjects with penis-shaped microphones is beyond me. It seems like the next logical move for them, and seeing executives talk to a phallus would be priceless.

I am not going to fault the guy, I certainly wouldn't decline the chance, but it just doesn't seem very appropriate given the position and business he's in.

Ok, that girl on the right is hot and a very good sport.. did not make it awkward at all.
Good stuff.

:) Made me laugh; watching Aaron try desperately to avoid looking directly at the naked flesh of the two young woman aside him, while saying "I don't want to do 1 on 1 situations"...

I would have the most incredibly visible boner if I was in between those ladies.

Lol. "We sent Heather Vandeven and Jamie Lynn to the Game Developers Conference 2008 to interview industry luminaries while wearing skimpy lingerie. Why, you ask? Because we could."
Lucky bastard. Those girls do a fantastic job of looking interested in his anecdotes.

He seemed...nervous. Me? I'd be exploring the gal on my left.

When I first glanced at the still I thought it was Telemundo. I'm not sure about the comments from people about it not being appropriate for someone on his position or business he's in. Care to elaborate?

hmmm very hot girls in the video but it feels strange for a guy in his position to do that.

lol I'd agree Sigmund!
He should have had his body turned the other way with the glass in his other hand.

MS execs seem so much more "loser-y" than other game execs.

The man is in the consumer electronics business, not the religion business. That was every bit as respectable as an A-list celebrity showing up at one of Hef's parties. Silly, yes, but hardly offensively unprofessional.
Besides, what's working your way towards a position worth if you can't do that? Let the poor guy feel like James Bond for 10 minutes of his life.

This Aaron guy looks like a loser no matter is he is surrounded by barenaked ladies, that must suck when you´re trying to replace J."Extreme" Allard, who always was surrounded by barenaked ladies even if he wasn´t being interviewed...This Aaron needs to "extremize" his look, Xbox needs it...

@Scrapple: Of course he does. He's an executive! With these ladies, any shortcoming can be overcome with a six figure paycheck.

he is so nervous he drinks from his glass a few times and doesnt really drink anything out of it..
Funny thing is, I think he thinks he has a shot with these bimbos

Given: A bed of 2 penthouse pets in lingerie
We want: An innuendo > geek rambling s.t.
If, we say "Well, that's a very dangerous question."
Then, "And I'm a very dangerous man ;D"
if and only if, this gets us laid.
The best way to explain it to geeks :D

@zoesch: It must have been extremely hard for anyone in the hot seat to keep their eyes UP...I know it was hard for me and I was just watching from the camera view...

It was very creepy but he managed to pull through, I suggest watching the Jessica Chobot and Cliff Bleszinski ones, she looks positively uncomfortable and he actually manages to make the whole thing seem smooth, make eye contact and keep it respectful.

Haha. Awesome. It's great to see that Cliff Bleszinski and Jessica Chobot got in on this too.

This is normal for him is it not? That is, talking shit and making up farcical predictions, while trying to hit on penthouse chicks.

Can't see the video at the moment, but from the photo and things he has said in the past, he seems like quite a liability for MS to have him in PR. Embarrassing.

That picture fooled me into thinking the Aaron guy was being interviwed by the woman from mythbusters, in lingerie. (The woman, not Aaron)
