@Luke Plunkett: I guess it's a little tougher to act like a prick in front of this many people. Thanks for the reply.

Luke, how was he behaving? He was interviewed in a recent issue of GamesTM and was a complete a-hole, ignoring them, reading a book and, when he did decide to answer their questions, was just plain rude.

Mike, what kind of shoddy workmanship is it when a structure can't handle the weight of a slip of a lad like yourself? ;)

"And now for the bad news: it appears that there are no plans for a Legendary-style Orbital Drop Shock Trooper helmet that one can trick out their cat with. Shame. What will our nation's retailers clog up their warehouses with, come Fall 2009?"

@Perfectnumpty: What do you suggest? They make it a beat-em up instead? Or how about Gears of War: Sports Resort?

@IronsUK: It's as certain to be great as Dean Ashton is to get injured again soon :)

I am very, very excited about this game. Hard to believe that the first Gears of War is already two years old. It still looks (and plays) fantastic.

For me the best comparison of what Molyneux is getting at would be to take the example of a food critic. They could be served what you or I would consider the most delicious meal we have ever eaten, yet they would find a way to complain about it and compare it to their overall gastronomic experience which, let's face…

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): I agree, and very well put. I was thinking about how I was going to express my disagreement with Brian's interpretation. Thank you for saving me the bother :)

@PhatsMahoney: Don'y YOU mean geological? ;)

Uppitycracker was straight pwned yo

OK, it's official: I have now had enough of hearing Peter Molyneux's opinion on everything, and I am sick of seeing his Mr. Burns head.

@redneon: lol

I'm with Dude Huge on this. I was *this* close to buying a PS3 on eBay two days ago (I really want to play LBP & MGS4) but, after giving thought to the control pad, I realised that I couldn't go back to it after using the 360 pad.

Ah, brings back memories of getting GoldenEye 007 for Christmas. The year after that we got three more new games for Christmas, but before dinner had even been eaten they had been put aside for more GoldenEye...

Granthunter had him pegged! Check out his comment (bottom of the first page of comments) in the original story:

@dowingba: Wow, thats ridiculous. Why hasn't there been more uproar about this? I guess you didn't get WipEout then?

@ExceptionOE: @Klappstuhl: Don't be so stupid, both of you. You don't know what you are talking about. My wife is Polish, I've been there seven times, and it is very far from being Third World. There is room for improvement, but don't be ridiculous. It wouldn't suprise me if both of you have the Daily Mail delivered…

I got about 3 hours into GTA IV and got bored with it. The same thing happened with San Andreas. Vice City is my favourite GTA, no doubt about it.

He was the A-hole you love to hate. I'm glad he got so much coverage, I found it entertaining. The only people who have something to be sorry for are those who took him seriously.
