So Peter Molyneux's new studio 22 Cans's first game will be Curiosity, which is about...something:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/peter-molyneux-reveals-first-game-from-his-new-studio-curiosity/

...OK, so he doesn't want to give out details for now. But...he's just announced DLC?

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/08/peter-molyneuxs-curiosity-has-50k-DLC/

...

...

...

...what is this bullshit?

I bet the cube contains a note with the word "SUCKERS" and a picture of Molyneux's butt

You can feel his ego, from the opposite side of the world. Trust me.

Peter is an insane man. And I love him for it.

I, for one, can't wait to see the results.

Peter Molyneux was trolling us from the start.

I'm currently replaying Fable II and loving it. So he's not all that bad.

If the things I heard about him and his overblown enthusiasm are true, he is pretty much trolling himself.

But that reminds me that I wanted to try Populous 2 again.

It might have something to do with this... http://thedailypixel.com/2012/04/24/peter-molyneux-promises-his-next-lie-will-be-the-best-lie-you-have-ever-fallen-for/

BTW I love how he talks so cheerfully about Fable failing to include certain features as if it was something actually good. Actually, he's pretty much saying that Fable sucks.

Clearly, it's some sort of mad social experiment. We will find out who is actually willing to fork over that kind of money for a chance to be the guy to finish off that monolith. Whose curiosity will get the best of their wallet?

That, or someone will buy it for the same reason that people bought that ipod app "I Am Rich".

I have a message from another time...

Or the Something Special For Someone Special in TF 2. (Well I guess that's for either these people talking about, or utter fools. Or both.)

I like that only one will get see what's in the cube.

It would be interesting to see if he will choose to share the secret or not. Maybe some people will claim to have broken the cube and lie/joke about what's in it.

Edit: Also, imagine someone buying the diamond chisel... only for someone with the default chisel to make the last blow on the cube.

So it turns out that the "oppressive publishers" (to paraphrase) were the ones keeping a leash on his sanity?

My first thought on hearing about this was "Someone didn't mistakenly post something for Peter MolyDEUX, did they?"

[up]I thought the exact same thing. Stranger Than Fiction indeed.

I almost wish Notch and the Humble Brony Bundle got into a competition over this, but then all that money would go to Molyneux's coke habit instead of charity or more talented developer and that would just be wrong.

I admit I tried this for a while. I give Molyneux my "thanks" for not charging for this or the in game items. For now.

Anyway, tried it for a while then uninstalled it. As odd as it may sound mindless tapping gets kinda boring.

Cube has been cracked. Winner gets to be the god of Godus and gets money from people spending on it. Neat reward, but the winner is a Scottish Brony Redditor E-Atheist. In other words, the trolling has come full circle and I have now had my heart crushed yet again by fucking Peter Molyneux. GG no re, Peter. GG no fucking re.

Somehow I guessed its that type of thing .-. Money reward thing. Anyway, are you complaining about winner or what you mean trolling has come full circle?

I admit its better than what I expected for the winner.

But yeah, the guy who won? Hoo boy... He's like the embodiment of everything /v/ hates. [lol]

He loves Twilight, Angry Birds, Linkin Park, Big Bang Theory, and Casual Dudebro video games. [lol]

So, a new experiment in cruelty begins: random internet clown gets to be the supreme overlord of some game?
