A sad day in gaming...

 

[midonnay]

Imagine being able to suck polygons out of enemies. initially they look next gen but you can drain them to look like they are from 1995.

:O

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I bet Molyneux thought it was his Milo trying to contact him, but then went into a rage when he found out it was just some dude having luls.

 

[Popeck]

Yea, and best being fake Kaz Hirai. This guy is fucking hilarious.

I loved it when he complained that his console was on fire or something and then @XboxSupport actually tried to help him. Classic.

 

[mr stroke]

Too bad I am hearing about this now, Fake Peter is awesome -

Imagine a game where 3 pauses and it's game over. The game plays door bells, ringtones etc trying to make you accidently pause the game

lol

 

[heavyness]

God I hope the account comes back... Either it was taken down for legal reasons or he got a job somewhere and they want all those good ideas for themselves.

Bring it back!

:lol wut? I need links for this.

 

[HTuran]

You know, my dream for gaming is where in one game you'll shoot someone and then during a game of say Fifa you'll see their son crying.

Game where an asteroid is about to hit earth, the aim is not to stop it but to say goodbye to every family member. You have 120 of them.

Action game where before you can kill someone you must teleport to their family home back in time and spend a hour in their company.

There needs to be a book published filled with all this stuff.

 

[Tunavi]

You are a child playing hide&seek, as you hide the world fast forwards. You come out, everyone has died. You must find your friend's ghosts

brilliant

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Just read it on the Kaz parody account and lol'd at his comment on it:

these guys are having way to much fun! Someone stop them!

You know in cut scenes when it says '3 months later...'? What if the game ACTUALLY locked your save file for 3 months?

Like something straight out of NIER.

 

[Massa]

these guys are having way to much fun! Someone stop them!

Apparently they're on it. :-( Fake PM was my favorite twitter account.

Well, on the bright side we know that the real @yosp follows the fake Kaz. That amuses me.

 

[Schmitty]

Couldn't stop laughing from Cascore video

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Wow that Cascore video is so amazing. Guy's talented for sure. Twitter suxx too -_-

Parts of it remind me of Fahrenheit. Which makes it even better.

God I hope the account comes back... Either it was taken down for legal reasons or he got a job somewhere and they want all those good ideas for themselves.

Bring it back!

I seem to remember something about "molydeux", "lionhead" and "job" being mentioned in the same sentence in a serious capacity at some point...

I came very close to working for Lionhead just a few months after starting the account. I’m sure if I got the job, the account would have turned out quite differently!

The Lionhead interview was in early 2010, for an artist position to work on Milo (which I got to play during the interview!). If I had got the job I’d have stopped the account, no question – this account is just a bit of fun and not anywhere near as important as my career. However, if I had been there for a while and got to know people (including Peter himself), I’d have brought up the Molydeux account to see how they felt about it.

So that's probably what happened.

 

[Daigoro]

damn. that is one clever and funny fake twitter. too bad im just fidning out about it after its all over.

it would be nice to know why the account is closed.

This one has been turned into a game.

[Sloane]

What the fuck. His / her tweets were actually one of the most thoughtful gaming related things I've ever read.

 

[kylej]

RIP. Never forget.

 

[missolini]

I loved his tweets, they made me feel alive like a dolphin swimming in the ocean.

 

[WolfForager]

Cascore video has been pulled

Didn't even get to share in it's glory with you guys.

 

[ivysaur12]

One of the few twitter accounts that had me laugh out loud. RIP.

 

[Lord Error]

Cascore video, working link. It's not that great compared to his twitter stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGZ9PmUlVZw

The part where he mocks the "indie factor" of black & white is so true! (aka Limbo is a joke).

If it's the tweet I was looking at, the joke there may have gone over your head. Molydeux was criticizing them, saying how they think they're creative, when they're in fact just copying the concept he came up with (Black and White!). Even though in reality, it has nothing to do one with another, In his mind he has to be the most creative one, and then seethes in his juices when he doesn't get the credit he thinks he deserves (see also populous -> farmwille tweet)

 

[sixteen-bit]

shame the fun police had to shut this one down

 

[Kikarian]

"Account Suspended",

I wanted to see some tweets.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

RIP. Never forget.

I forgot after entering the thread already ><

 

[Enco]

Imagine a game with 1 goal which is to kill yourself. Now imagine that the environment constantly adapts to stop you. Excited?

So many awesome ideas.

 

[mrklaw]

hang on, why was it suspended? Is there someone else called Peter Molydeux? Its not even his real name so he can fuck off.

 

[jax (old)]

wtf? peter molyneux probably complained. it was pretty clever the twitter.

 

[CLEEK]

He lives!

https://twitter.com/#!/dougiedeux Doesn't quite have the same flavor as the other Twitter account. I wonder if it's just some guy taking advantage of the situation to promote himself.

Yup looks like that's what it is.

Not sure why you think this is him from a random Youtube comment

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't pay attention to it.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Sad that Lionhead got it shut down. But guess it's fair enough when that twitter provided more entertainment than they have for the past 10 years.

 

[RooMHM]

Please DO NOT contact Lionhead studios regarding "Believe". They are NOT making a game where you play as peter Molyneux assissting a wheel chair bound Milo who creates bridges with tears.

Bwahahaha!

Apparently he's working on getting it back up.

It's a genuine video, nice to hear that it should be sorted out soon

This.... it was... beautiful. A true masterpiece.

 

[Azure Dream]

I love that the parody account actually comes up with some intriguing ideas.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Dammit, Polydeux was one of the few accounts worth following. Hopefully he comes back soon

 

[The Albatross]

It's a pretty clever account. WOrd is it's also a game developer who does it.

edit, old sorry :/

 

[Hasemo]

To think that I've ignored it before. If he comes back, I'll follow for sure.

 

[TUSR]

Does anyone remember the quote about people's emotions that you could climb as blocks or something?

 

[LCfiner]

The account needs to get back up as soon as possible. It's one of the best little things in my day when I see the updates.

 

[An-Det]

I'm glad to hear they are trying to work it out. I was afraid they would be complete dicks and shut him down without a second thought. Here's hoping he is up and running soon.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I didn't connect the two of them, but that that makes a lot of sense that he made this video.

 

[Broder Salsa]

He posted this on lionheads forums : "Thanks for the kind words, currently awaiting an email from twitter so I can make a few basic changes so I can come back again. Twitter helpdesk are quite awful, sent multiple reports to them but 7 days later and still no reply." Lionhead really should just have contacted him instead of being little bitches just shutting him down.

I'm glad to hear they are trying to work it out. I was afraid they would be complete dicks and shut him down without a second thought. Here's hoping he is up and running soon.

Well that is what Lionhead did.

"I just wish Lionhead had got in touch with me first so this mess could have been avoided." Guess it's good that they at least reply his emails but a shame that they had to go on about it that way.

 

[Hawkian]

That shit about having to turn on subtitles is great.

That's pretty trippy. Really reminds me of Silent Hill. Too bad more people haven't seen this if I base that off of the replies to this thread.
