Activision's E3 2007 Drunken Host Tries to Defend Himself, Fails

gamrFeed writes:-

"Activision's E3 2007 press conference was full of interesting announcements. There's a chance, however, that you don't remember many of those announcements. In fact, there's a huge chance that the only parts of Activision's conference you remember is the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare part and the host Jamie Kennedy intoxicated.

Kennedy was all over the place, literally. Stumbling around the stage looking for the teleprompter that was in-front of him the whole time, Kennedy's poor choice of jokes, awkward moments, being called out by the audience, and even made fun of by one of the developers on stage, Activision's E3 2007 event was one that even the publishing giant itself was trying not to look at -- presumably.

Four years later, it seems as though Kennedy hasn't gotten over the incident. Over on Twitter, the comedian lashed out at Michael Pachter and former Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer Gary Whitta after they began discussing who out of Mr. Caffeine --from Ubisoft's E3 conference this year-- and Jamie Kennedy was the worst E3 host of all time (Jamie Kennedy's Tweets have been left unedited)."

So 2007 is the new 2011...O_o...who cares about 2007 as if it matters...lol...Hey, how about the Saddam Hussein huh, boy was that guy a bad apple...o_O

Jerkstore815093d ago

I so agree. I mean 5 or 10 years from now are people going to still talk about bad E3 press conferences from 2007 or 2006?

starcb265093d ago

Did you hear about Hitler? He was a rotten apple.

jacksonmichael5093d ago

Speaking of which, I recently heard Saddam died... How was that not bigger news?

ChrisW5092d ago

Shame on him. he is a host, could he not get boozed up after the show?

zinkabass5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

I am still boozed up, after seeing MS preso,...

And it has been like 2-3 weeks ago,.. Cheers! Prost! Na zdravje!

kingjoker345093d ago

hes a good actor though, malibus most wanted = funniest shit eva

Legion5093d ago

Not even sure he was boozed up Jamie Kennedy ALWAYS looks like he is drunk.

Anybody else having issues with the website? Pops up in a weird format and has no real information.

saladthieves5094d ago

I can't watch. I'm too embarrassed for this guy, and I didn't then because I was too embarrassed for him. Captain Price must have been facepalming himself when he saw the host at E3 2007.

TVippy5094d ago

If only this is all true, than Kennedy must be a really dumb person. I don't really understand how could he get this far being that stupid and infantile. Or drugs destroyed him at some point?

subtenko5093d ago

Kennedy:"So I was wondering if I could do the whole interview with Ozzy Osborn"

English dude:"Absolutely..arent you doing that already?"

*guy in crowd the first to start the laugh chain*

Epic Moment completed! ^_^

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb15d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville15d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer15d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer15d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad14d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii113d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince198199d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

SoloGamer1112d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
