At the (doctor who) convention I went to this weekend, I get into an elevator en route to the con suite. There had to have been at least 12 people crammed in there, instantly hot and crowded. Elevator starts crawling upwards, and someone says "Well whadya know, it's smaller on the inside!"

[TD1]

Ha.

What do you all do at all those conventions anyway? Talk about comics/Minecraft/Dr. Who?

[ggamer]

If you're into cringe humour, RPS just released a pretty brutal review with Peter Molyneux concerning the failure of Godus, and what follows is an industry professional of thirty frick fracking years being a naive dunderhead about every step of game development.

watch Molyneux whine his little auteur-driven panties off

Fakeedit: omg the fact that it's an impromptu thing over the phone makes for some fucking great quotes

Peter Molyneux: I think he had had a temporary– He certainly came to the studio– Let me ask. [shouting in background] Konrad!

[in distance] Konrad: Yeah?

Peter Molyneux: When did you first come to 22cans?

Konrad: [inaudible]

Spoiler: this shit is a gold mine (click to show/hide)

RPS: Everyone’s a flawed human being, that’s not my point at all.

Peter Molyneux: And when there are thousands of things to check on, you try to rely on your team and this slipped through the net and, you’re right, it shouldn’t have done.

RPS: In 2012–

Peter Molyneux: Why would I have ignored him? I mean, why did I do that? It’s just incompetence.

RPS: OK. In Rezzed–

Peter Molyneux: I mean, I’m sure you are going to write, ‘Peter Molyneux’s incompetent’, and I am.

RPS: No, look, this is ridiculous. Everyone is a flawed human being. My purpose here is not to hang you out. My purpose is to get to the truth of what’s going on here. In Rezzed–

Peter Molyneux: Yeah. I’m giving you– I mean, I would say, if you really want to get to the truth, come down to the studio.

this actually reads like a fookin onion interview

[My Name is Immaterial]

They were really rude to him in that piece.  It was very inappropriate to open with the question: "Do you think that you’re a pathological liar?"

For me, reading that was like watching a serial killer get in a grisly car crash. He deserved it, but Jesus Christ, is it horrible to watch.
Since PM is a developer of some of my favourite games (~the movies~), the serial killer is also your wedding planner.

Having only been to three (different) conventions in my life (this one being the only one I've gone to more than once), generally it's people talking about overall geek stuff and dressing up, panels with guest speakers talking about subjects related to the convention's focus (or sometimes just science), people hawking their wares, a great big cosplay contest, and having guests from whatever the thing is talk about stuff.

Also, alcohol-infused karaoke, the "con suite" which is full of snacks (and underappreciated volunteer staff), and trying to collect all the ribbons.

Considering the fact that "The Fable Cycle" is now a thing in gaming vernacular that refers to promising far and above what you offer in a game, and then shitting on it after the marketing cycle is through, I think it's very deserved. This is pretty much the first interview where someone asked Molyneux real questions instead of letting him cry and restart the Fable cycle. Plus, as John references multiple times, he started the same cycle for Godus (with the bonus of recieving about a half million pounds on kickstarter with a promised seven months till a release (back in 2012)). This is an industry veteran of thirty years who's acting like every jane and john making a gosh golly kickstarter nowadays.

Basically, Molyneux has been doing this shit for decades, it's just that we can see it now instead of it being hidden behind publisher doors.

That reminds me of the college humour clip where GRRM is a wedding planner.

I think Molyneux should get together with Tony Abbott. They'd make a great duo.

best game ever

Better.

And more moonbase alpha singing.

Best comment:

This is a digital interview. All journalism is of the highest quality. It depicts an image of a developer and a journalist. The journalist is standing over the developer. The developer is in a fetal position. It is circled with bands of dissemblance. It menaces with spikes of truth.

What did they say about the pharaoh who had his grooming tools buried with him?

He encrypted his files.

My cat just intensely stared at me while clawing a plastic bag apart, I don't know why but this was hilarious
