Dodd Updates: Major Nelson, Dodd mourns his own demise

Xbox Live's Major Nelson feels the heat

It's been an exciting first week here at the Word of Dodd, as gamers have responded en masse to the unvarnished truth bombs unleashed by video game authority Pete Dodd. While we're busy working on more stories, we're able to share a few updates from items we've run in the past week.

Major Nelson feeling the pressure

Xbox frontman Major Nelson refused to comment when contacted by the Word of Dodd in the wake of a poll that revealed Pete Dodd was being paid by Microsoft. While he didn't respond to our direct request, a later tweet made his feelings clear for all to see.

Made it to Connecticut - now to get some work done (and sleep) before my appearance on @Kiss957 tomorrow morning

Highlighting his commitment to his job, Major Nelson revealed he will not go down without a fight, redoubling his focus on his important work and being the best damn Larry Hryb he can be.

Dodd suffers emotional breakdown

Just days after the Word of Dodd made public the game industry's contract on Pete Dodd's life, Dodd confided to the Internet that seeing what he already knew confirmed in print was emotionally traumatic:

This is still my favorite website. http://t.co/IS5J8o45kp The story about the assassination attempt had me in tears.

While Dodd has done little to protect his own life -- in fact, he has raised his public profile with the launch of a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign -- we hope crying made him feel a little bit better about his impending doom.
