All I wanted to do with this was punch him in the face and see him cry. Why won't mircosoft allow me to take the words "Cyber-Bullying" to a whole new level?
Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of when I saw Milo was 'Pedophiles are going to have a ball with this'?
The FIRST thing I will say with our new best friend will be:
"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.

Damnit, I had already devised a plan to lock him in a freezer in the basement, only to later hide his body in that pond with the fish. Guess I'll have to go to plan B' where I tell him his parents are dead and force the kid to run away, only to be eaten by a wild cougar roaming around.
honestly milo does sound cool, the idea of having an interactive AI sounds awesome. But he's going to be so limited with his responces, that it seems that there would be very little freedom. I can already imagine his most common phrase will be "I'm sorry chap, could you repeat that?".
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. If Kate is that hot chick, I wonder how many losers will tell people they have a girlfriend with an imaginary woman.
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...

Question beckons why make this character a kid? In todays society, people will put two and two together and get five.
Looks interesting, in a Seaman like way.

This thing terrifies me, not because of what gamers have done in the sims series (though you people are almost as creepy), but because the second I saw it I kept thinking how every NAMBLA member in the world will pick it up and do horrifying things then claim in court that it was a victimless crime. I will believe in god again if this quietly disappears and the concepts are put into something that won't attract pedophiles.
this game honestly would be 100000x better if instead of a kid it was an Angry Dwarf that constantly belittled you and virtually kicked you.
if its suppost to be my childhood he's going to be one very bad mouthedchild by age 9 and a horn dog by 13 XD and learn he's a violent drunk by 15
Honestly, if people can't abuse this, they're not going to buy it. Peter, just bow to the inevitable and code some tears and bruising in now.
I want Milo to say
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY THE GAME"
should anything inappropriate be instigated. That does bring up the question of what game though?

BurnPianoBurn makes an interesting point. Why not make the AI an asshole instead of a little kid? Or, at the very least, a fairly realistic person, complete with human faults? I mean, that'd be a hell of a lot more interesting, since it could actually do something natural. Milo will probably end up with responses along the lines of cry, laugh, say 'look what i can do', and run around. I'm sure there'll be more things in it than that, but you get the point. They're just scripted actions, not responses. Chat bots can give responses based on inputs, and if voice recognition got good enough, so could something like Milo.
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.

I wouldn't have thought to do it before, but now I have the urge to suggest to Milo that he take his shirt off. I mean, it looks hot out there. Why don't we go for a dip in the pond rather than fishing? Nah, we don't need clothes, we're just two dudes who totally like girls.
Yeah, I wonder how this "Project NATAL" will react to people who aren't average height. What if we're really tall? Is my head going to disappear from the screen?
Wait a minute. I just realized something very important. Perhaps Milo is built to attract pedos. Microsoft makes a deal with the police to hunt them down.
Conspiracy abounds.

It's supposed to replicate my childhood?
And Peter assumes that everyone's childhood was all rainbows, sunshines, and kittens?

I'm not sure I want a game that replaces my childhood. My childhood was with an abusive alcoholic father who beat me with a frozen water hose. So does this mean I get to beat Milo with a frozen water hose too?
If it's just scripted responses then what's the point? I might as well play talk to automated customer service line.
Interesting that game developers must work that much harder, put in so much more code in a game like Milo and Kate, to compensate for all those gamers being immature douchbags or otherwise socially malformed. Perhaps it's the video game audience itself that keeps game developers from being more creative.
