Especially if you had to punish your creature for being bad. My god, one accidental click and you're a virtual sadist/pervert.Claptrap said:
Also, I demand that more of the game industry use stabbings as negative re-enforcement.
Valve Employee: Ah, sir, I'm afraid Portal 2 is going to be pushed into 2012.
Gabe Newell: Get back in the design room before I SHANK YOU *****.
...and now I realized why I have such experience with 'the swirl' from Seinfeld. Molyneux's been training me since childhood.Vzzdak said:
Face it, sooner or later everyone wants to knife old Moly.
Mercifully no has yet, gaming would much less awkward without him.

Well, then.
If this were anyone but Peter Molyneux I don't think I'd believe this, but this is pretty much mundane for him.

In the first level, first village, I took as many rocks as I could, put them in a pile in a ditch below my worship site and lite them aflame. I would then proceed to drop the villagers into said pit. Was funny when you glitched it (something to do with the teleport thing) and made their skeletons walk around.Claptrap said:Haha, Yeah, Break up a bunch of rocks, Millons of fireballs on them, And they never stop burning, I used them for throwing at enemy towns and watching all the villages/buildings burnUber Evil said:
Why am I not surprised that Peter would have wanted to do something like this?
Yes, please stop. This is disturbing.qbanknight said:
In one role play a guy I know is in one of the characters was made to be a giant muscle bound idiot who when turning into a werewolf becomes thirty two feet tall. One of the players calculated what the size of his dong would be if average for his height of thirty two feet. It came out to three feet itself so now if Mongo (the characters name) turns around too fast while in the group everyone has to roll a doge to see if they get molywopped. That is one war wound that you would not tell stories about.
Well, after watching videos with Mark in them and so forth, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would stab someone. Weird...
the sad thing is how utterly NOT surprised I am.
That guy is a grade A lunatic egoist.
Also not surprised that Peter would have the incredibly poor taste to joke about driving someone nuts by doing some incredibly ludicrous game design that he was too little of a professional to see was the glaring pointless venture that it was.
Way to go you mad little weirdo. Maybe someone will manage to actually knife him for real one of these days.
Me, I'd personally like to volunteer to cage fight him.

If this is true, I think I know exactly why that artist would go crazy.
It's not the part about modeling an ape wang. Trust me, computer professionals get asked to do that kind of shit every day.
It's not that Molyneux was a taskmaster or crazy guy to work for.
No, what made the guy allegedly threaten Peter with a knife was most likely that the artist knew for a solid fact that the wang and it's morphing paths would NEVER make it to a shipping game. This meant that any time spent modeling the penis was time spent on something that would not even make it to a portfolio. Working any significant time on stuff that will never be published, seen, or even reused really pisses creatives and programmers off. After the second or third request to tweak the dynamics of the penis as it goes from semi to full erect, suspecting this ridiculous bit of crap is probably just fueling some weird masturbation mechanic for Peter Populous, I would probably have brought up a stabbing as well. With perhaps some flaying and roasting thrown in for good measure.
Really gang. Don't fuck with your creatives. They will likely leave. And they just might end up making a better product.
