Default Click the Cube For a Chance to Win

Umm... Thanks, Mr. Molyneux? I'm going to pass though...

Video interview with SpikeTV here...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebg4IdV_Lp4

He has 14 people working for 22 cans, and THIS is what they are doing?

He has gone the way of Richard Garriott, only worse. What is with the old guard becoming obsessed with introducing social everything into gaming? Seriously, it seems like he is giddy to introduce his "experiment" and used every buzzword he can imagine to introduce it. The interviewer seems totally disinterested and deflated...

Yeah, gonna avoid whatever the result of his social experiments turns out to be. Social games are bad enough as is, without someone trying to streamline their blandness and money-sucking psychology.

You might think him mad now but once someone buys that diamond chisel we'll know that his madness is surpassed by a whole lot.

That experiment reminds me of J.J. in the Doonesbury strips:

As to the E3 video.

He also smiles when he mentions that he has got an I-pad there...
Funny to me cause I'm not a fan of I-[Product Name Here].

$50,000 is a lot of money to many.... but to some, their bank accounts roll that in a month in interest. Someone will buy the chisel just for the better chance to "be the one" that opens the cube. Of course, 10 years from now they'll just be a footnote to a wiki page.

Populous and Dungeon Keeper were freakin' fantastic but I honestly haven't been a fan of anything Peter's done since then. To me his grace period since those games came out has long since expired. File this under "meh, whatever".

I bet the surprise is a picture of him sitting on a yacht with a big 'Thanks suckers!" for all the people who threw money at his 'game'
