All of his presentations are like that, it's his personality.

As an engineer in shoes of a startup founder, I wish my presentations were half as cool as his.

He ain't the best showman but it's always easier to talk about presentations than actually give them.

Yo, make some noise if you like to breathe! That guy knows what I'm talking about!

Which is something I really don't get, at all. This all looks and sounds way much nerd-ier just because they try so desperately to look cool.

Pretty sure that's just that guys personality.

Why would you extrapolate his persona to all of Microsoft?

Actually, I was talking about this kind of too-deliberate-to-be-true and trying-too-hard-to-look-cool atmosphere at Microsoft events, not about Bryan Roper's style in particular.

Well they chose him to represent them for a reason presumably, and it may be related to his ability to speak well. He's a little over the top but not to a fault in my opinion. It's close though.
