Terminator, and Peter Molyneux
Jun. 4th, 2009 02:01 pmSorry, I'm not actually combining the two elements in the subject line there. It's just a coincidence that in my morning reading, I found something interesting in both of them. I'm sure someone else out there has already written a post about how the AI dog in Fable goes on to become Skynet, but this isn't it.
First, on Peter Molyneux, spirit behind a bunch of games I did play, like "Populous" in the late 80s, and a number that I haven't bothered with, like "Fable" or "The Movies". I've got some sympathy with this mini-rant from Penny Arcade:
As to Terminator, specifically, the Sarah Connor Chronicles: It turns out that the director has a blog, and he made the first post in over a year there, talking about the process of ending a show.

Peter Molyneux has no credit with me - he must always pay in advance, cash only. I am completely impervious to him, so when he says that he's invented some kind of digital boy this firm assertion is refracted into harmless light. Illusions of the kind he proposes are tremendously fragile - it's hard enough to maintain them in raw text, without the idiosyncrasies of the nested recognition systems in play with Milo. Please understand: I love the future, and I long to live there. I want very much to simulate a cognizant digital imp. But this man has broken my heart so many times that it can no longer contain love.
