Black & White Monster Penis Almost Got Peter Molyneux Knifed

[Icehearted]

I'm so used to hearing nothing but empty windbaggery from the windbag that I believe nothing he says. I can easily see how this blew up into a story he concocted from a completely uninteresting event involving a hangnail or some such. I eagerly await his next conference speech when he regales us with a tale of how he narrowly avoided being assassinated for inventing the ampersand by the lemming queen while on holiday at the Mars Hilton Resort and Casino.

No really, I'm convinced he's either a con-artist or batshit insane.

why would you need a penis in a game like that, and one that gets errect, i think the real story is that peter molyneux has a penis fetish or something.

Maybe gorilla's have developed the ability to grow swords from their penis' in Molyneux's worlds..?

..And ho, how awkward that is to mentally image.

*wince* NEVER use the word "penis" and "knife" in the same sentence.

Aye, does horrible things to a man!

Think before you post, Mr. Funk! (God I love saying "Mr. Funk.")

Oh Moleneux, you always seem to make me laugh.

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

(Is it bad that I pronounce his name "MALL-ee-nee-ucks"?)

Indeed, its meant to be "Mal-eh-new"

Why did I read that entire post in Peter Molyneaux' voice?

I read it in Ozzy's voice, because I just saw an interview with him. Needless to say, I didn't understand a word of it.

And I'm with the artist on this one. I don't want monster boners in my face games.

I take it you never liked that scene in Se7en?

Know what? There isn't a single word of this I don't believe. While Mr. Molyneux may take a lot of flack for promising the heavens and only making it to the moon, you have to appreciate his self-deprecation and wit.

Truly a God amongst men.

I alway knew he was a Dickhead!

Now i have to go barf *shudders* Morph......

 

[Thedayrecker]

Pics or it didn't happen.

Now that that's out of the way, all I have to say is: What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

"[SNIP]It was this bizarre thing. Especially in America! Even if you show nipples they go insane, rating it under-the-counter product. It just goes to show you just how rubbish I am as a designer, really."

Nevertheless, Molyneux initially persisted, and the poor modelers working at Lionhead had to create the creature's morphable schlongalong. "The artist that modeled it ended up going completely insane. [He] threatened to knife me ... absolutely true story. He went on to found Media Molecule. Chap called Mark Healey."

Having never met Mr. Healey myself, I cannot say whether or not the founder of the LittleBigPlanet studio is likely to threaten to knife somebody (if only in jest). In all fairness, spending your work day painstakingly rendering a monster tallywhacker would probably drive most people insane, so it's hardly just him.

Threatening to stab an insane micromanaging employer seem entirely sane to me. My love for Little Big Planet has now grown in a new way.

Peter you crazy basterd. What would the gaming world be without you?

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

And in case the mental image in your head wasn't bad enough, said member "morphed depending on how excited your creature was."

What... WHAT?

Oh God, I'm so very happy that didn't happen.
You get stranger every time I read something about you Molyneux.

 

[antipunt]

This article is just full of 'wha..' follow by 'DUHERR?!'

Are you serious? A penis. Getting excited? A knife? The faq?

 

[Silver Patriot]

So if Peter didn't push his team to model Penises on the monsters, we wouldn't have LittleBigPlanet? Weird how life works.

This wins the headline of the month award. I got this Tweet during school and I had to check this out as soon as I got home.

"It just goes to show you just how rubbish I am as a designer, really."

I wonder whether he actually thinks that or if it was just to garner sympathy. Kinda hard to know with him.

 

[Sosa Star]

I wanna send of copy of this article to Mark Healey, just to find out if it's true or, more realistically, to hear his rebuttle with the amount of narcotics Petey was on at the time.

And yes, this artcle title was pure win.
