Penny Arcade on the Microsoft purchase of Lionhead...

So wrong...yet so true.

I don't get the hate against Molyneux. I think he makes good games, myself - though I never did beat Black & White, and haven't bought anything since...

I enjoyed Black & Whte, but then again, I didn't finish it, so I never made it to the part that everyone bitches about(where you supposedly lose your pet).

Tycho's blong entry at Penny Arcade sums it up:

"Lionhead develops "promising" games, but it takes too long to do it and the results rarely ascend the sheer face of their early promises. I'm glad there is a Lionhead, floating out there disembodied, trying things out, with the industry cache to maintain the experiment. I just don't know why you would buy it."

"Blong"? Is that like a combination of "blog" and "wang"?

I rarely agree with Tycho's assessment of industry situations, but the man is undeniably humorous.

"blong", what are you talking abo....*ahem* I mean, yes the BLONG. Come now, you mean you're not hip to the new terminology? All the cool kids know about it. Geeze, Nev you probably think this is 2004 and your handle is still "Mental" too, don't you?
