Fable creator and Microsoft Game Studios bigwig Peter Molyneux fell in some ice. While this is ordinarily not newsworthy, I just want you to imagine Peter Molyneux falling into some ice. It's pretty hilarious. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the guy's safe and alive, but c'mon ... Peter Molyneux. In ice.
"Peter Molyneux just broke through pond ice in the Surrey Research Park," reports Lionhead Studios. "Both his shoes and the man himself were saved ... Be careful on ice!"
It is believed that Peter Molyneux's slip into the ice was the greatest and most innovative slip into ice that the world of ice accidents has ever witnessed. The iconic designer has now revolutionized the way we look at ice and the inherent dangers within. Is there anything this man can't do?

Breakthrough...
The irony Jim is I'm sure many would argue this the most newsworthy thing you've posted on a weekend for quite some time.
Anyways, Molyneux' falls through ice is so overrated.
Jim, hilarious headline and piece
Where is our alternate ending, Mr. Molyneux?
Spoiler warning!?!
Guess I don't need to push him in ice again now. Thanks for nothing.
#he's as cold as ice#
"Ice has changed...."
That is an n of 1. No way they'll get it published. They'll need a lot more iced Molyni's (plural of molyneux) before the results are conclusive.
since joining dtoid couple of months ago, my perception of jim's pieces somehow shifted from funny to trolling. is it me or anyone else feels that way?
Nope, it's just you
Hopefully he gets well soon and gets back to making games that I don't play.
This would work if it didn't follow a bunch of comments expressing the opposite sentiment.
Methinks you are out of your depth, son.
Everyone other than Jim and the 12 people who give him handjobs in the comments second everytime he posts anything, anything at all.
Chortled like a motherfucker. Kudos.
On topic it would really suck to fall into freezing ass cold water. I'm glad the mans safe.
I mean unless money was involved.
Probably.
Who's worse? The 12 people giving me handjobs or the 4 people obsessed with posting negative comments?
I tend to favor the ones with spunky fingers.
yeah It's just you...
@yutt
I'd rather be a handjob-giving commenter then a whiny bitch like you...
also why come in here, read this article and take the time out to comment on it if it bothers you so much, just don't read it... the title itself and the writer should make it clear to you that it's most likely a fun-piece with an sprinkling of news on it and not the other way around...
also, LOL @ the breakthrough-comment! :p
also, cocks...
Molyneux I have decided has become an oroborus of his own hype.
i'd say both groups are not cool, paps. extremism is not cool no matter how you look at it
@mistic
seems it's not only. also, 'strive for perfection' don't give handjobs and don't be a whiny bitch. i challange you.
and to answer your question. i read the article because i did enjoyed jim's writing when i joined. i found them quite fresh and funny. now, some time later i find them more annoying than funny. and it made me sad :( because it's either me losing my sense of immature humor or jim losing his edge. either way it's bad.
also: haha. molyneux fell into ice. so funny. haha. i don't like him because there's no fable 2 pc!!1on1e
Dammit! Now my lame joke looks even... lamer. :(
Bah, who am I kidding. I was actually worried though, I liken Mr. Molyneux with other greats such as The Great Shigeru Miyamoto. Yeah, yeah, he's a hype-man through and through but I've loved pretty much every game the dude has made and to think that could come to and end made my heart skip a beat. D: (see cause lots of people die from falling into/through ice and I tend to always think the worst-case scenario >_<).
Onto some ice.
He looks a bit like a freaky demon. Anyone else get that vibe?
" Recently, we've made some real breakthroughs in environmental immersion! "
" Where's Milo?"
not even Teh Molyneux

I fucking love you.
Ice will play an integral part in Fable 3. Or be it the icy nature of man's heart. OHHHHH.
*pauses and dramatically puts his shades on*
Icebreaker
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
If he were to make you a grilled cheese sandwich, he would tell you that it would revolutionize sandwich making as a whole, and not only that but come with a free soda AND a hooker, and there would be countless ways to enjoy your new hooker, soda, and sandwich, but deliver instead a slice of pumpernickel with a lukewarm piece of un-cheese on top, that he only allows you to eat in one way.
I am unhappy with the ending of this story. Hate mail time.
