NOTE: I know some of you assholes don't like reading long posts (I know, because I'm one of those assholes), so I'll cut to the chase up here. The question is "Do you believe in Project Milo?" With that said, you can still read my thoughts below, but at least now you have enough material to post a comment.
So, another E3 has come and gone, bringing with it several groundbreaking announcements that will go down in history in the gaming community.
With that said, I'm pretty sure all of you have heard of Project Natal, Microsoft's latest endeavor to trump the Wii, get gamers off their lazy asses and waving their arms in front of their TV screen like madmen. Whether you like it or not, there's one little part of Project Natal that some people have left unnoticed.
Maybe it's just simmering in the backs of our minds, just waiting to burst, but I'm pretty sure, for every gamer, it is the same thought. The same nagging doubt. The same question.
What the FUCK is up with Project Milo?
If you don't know about Project Milo...good for you. If you'd LIKE to know about Project Milo, here's a link. Follow it.

Over the years, Peter Molyneux, the mind behind Lionhead Studios and the Fable series, hasn't exactly gotten a reputation for being entirely honest about his games. This was my opinion of him, that is, until Fable 2 came out and actually gave gamers an enjoyable experience. After Fable 2, I thought to myself:
"There's no way this guy could possibly fuck up again. He's learned to be honest about his games, hasn't he?"
No sooner had the words left my mouth when Molyneux, in all his retarded glory, announces at E3 that's he's created VIRTUAL LIFE, a digital boy by the name of Milo, which will be powered by Project Natal's new technology.
I don't know about you, but I smell a turd. A gigantic, LIE flavored turd, wrapped in pretentiousness and male pattern baldness.
While Project Natal looks legitimate, this latest outrageous claim from the head of Molyneux simply DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Where the hell do I begin?
FIRST: I know the Xbox 360 is a fairly powerful platform, but it's not going to be able to run LIFE in digital form. That would be like running MGS4 on the Wii.
SECOND: Even if it does work, who the hell would want to play it? A game where you talk to a young boy, go fishing with a young boy, and draw pictures for a young boy sounds more like babysitting than an actual game (do you get points if you get him to bed before 10?) Whenever a game like this gets released, people applaud it for being a technical marvel, but never get any fun out of it. The word "game" implies that it will be FUN, and chillin' it with Milo does not sound like a good time (unless you're a child molester, priest, or dentist.)
THIRD: Really? Is this really what Lionhead studios should be working on? They were doing so well with releasing great DLC for Fable 2, and now you've got them busy working on a computerized human being (haven't you ever seen Terminator?)What the hell Molyneux? What the hell?
FOURTH: Do you really expect us to believe that you hired a voice actor to say EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER BEEN SAID EVER? Commitment like that doesn't exist on this plane of reality!
FIFTH: I read an article written by a man who got to try out Project Milo at E3. It turns out that Peter Molyneux had to watch over him, and make sure that he said only what had been said to Milo in the presentation. If such major restrictions exist in the demo, what kind of restrictions do you think will exist in the game?
SIXTH: What the hell is the name of the game anyway? "Project Milo" sounds more like the code name for a government operation to genetically engineer dolphins (THAT, might actually be a fun game.)
OK, I'm done.
Now that I've had my two cents, I'd like to know what you'd think. Remember, all of the above is simply my opinion: maybe Project Milo WILL work. Maybe Peter Molyneux ISN'T a pompous git. Maybe Lionhead Studios ISN'T wasting it's time, effort and money on a project that will ultimately leave them bankrupt, sick and starving. Maybe...just maybe...
Anyway, do you believe in Milo?
