Peter Molyneux knows that we're a savage group of people. We kick children, shout obscenities, and curb-stomp puppies on a daily basis. So, not surprisingly, within moments of Lionhead Studio's Milo project being unveiled, many of us has inappropriate thoughts about what we could possibly do with Milo.
And so, Molyneux said that they're taking "very, very, careful precautions" to make sure that we don't have inappropriate relationships with Milo. The game is supposed to replicate your childhood -- the fun and simplicity of it all. So, "it's almost impossible to form an inappropriate relationship... it's just not something that's possible to do within the game."
Well, Mr. Molyneux, that sounds like a challenge. So, you don't want to give us the option of locking Milo in a room and leaving him to die, but we can still introduce him to our pet snake. Plus, you know somehow, Japan is going to do something inappropriate with this technology. Sure, it might not be with Milo, but it might be with Kate, whoever she might be -- the full title of the game is Milo and Kate, by the way.

Thank you I lol'd
Methinks his house is located somewhere in the uncanny valley.
"Now, Milo. I'm a brutally honest person. I'm going to abuse you. I will find some way to put you into uncomfortable situations. I will actively try to make you corrupt. I will BREAK YOUR INNOCENCE LIKE A TWIG. Understand this now, Milo, and the next few hours will be significantly less painful. And don't think you can make ME human. I lost that a long time ago."
If he reacts realistically to that (breaking down in tears/laughing it away/quivering in fear), Molyneux deserves the money I paid.
Also, does lionhead/microsoft expect us to stand up and stair at the tv, or get down on our knees to make eye level with our tvs? Those of us with SD tv's probably are not short enough to look on straight into the TV, and even those of us who have HD tv's will run into the same problem. My tv's at my eye level when sitting....not standing. This sounds like a problem.
P.s.s. Maybe since I can't punch Milo in the face, maybe I can slap Kate around and tell her to cook me supper...
Looks interesting, in a Seaman like way.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY THE GAME"
should anything inappropriate be instigated. That does bring up the question of what game though?
I know it's not likely anytime soon, but still. Kinda cool to think about. Until you realize, like I just did, how much of a waste of time this post was.
Conspiracy abounds.
And we're not allowed to touch Milo!?
And by anime, you mean hentai, right? No?
Uh.. well this is embarassing.
And Peter assumes that everyone's childhood was all rainbows, sunshines, and kittens?
*grin*
... that is all.
Your talking to Milo and having a chat and then some cinematic thing happens like War of the Worlds or something.
