HLEB RAZUMA: Peter Molyneux i priča postanja njegovog vaskrsenja

HLEB RAZUMA je serija postova tokom kojih se trudimo da neobrazovani, neoprani narod uhlebimo hlebom razuma i podučimo srpčad da svet igara nije samo drkanje miša/džojstika u nadi da što više ljudi pomru na ekranu. 

WIRED Magazine je objavio predivan tekst o Petru Molinuu, čoveku boemu koji je hteo da bude ribar, ali je ipak odlučio da radi nešto drugo i, par godina kasnije, eto nama  Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Black & White i Fable. Tačnije, tekst je o komplikovanoj vezi između Petra i Adama Caponea, čoveka koji ga satirično oponaša na Twitter-u kao @PeterMolyneux, i kako je zbog tog satiričnog oponašanja vaskrsnuo svoju karijeru.

Peter Molyneux has always been a dreamer. As a student at England’s Southampton Solent University in the early ’80s, he hatched a scheme to make a fortune by driving up to Scotland, buying a bunch of salmon, and then returning to sell it to local restaurants at a fantastic profit. It was only on the way home, after spending his savings, that he realized he had forgotten about refrigeration, leaving him broke and his car smelling of spoiled fish.

Takođe ima dodatnih razgovora o njegovoj novoj, hiper kriptičnoj (ili suludoj, zavisi ko je pitan) igri: Curiosity.

They’re working on the first one now, a free game—initially for iPhone and iPad but eventually playable on Android devices and in web browsers—called Curiosity. […] The whole world collectively chips away at a giant box, and only the player who opens it gets to discover the secret inside. Molyneux hasn’t told anyone what’s in the cube—not his wife, not his son, not even his coworkers. “What is inside the cube is life-changingly amazing by any definition,” […] One promises that “the events of the world will come to a halt” and the discovery “will make the God particle seem smaller than an atom.”)

Tekst je na engleskom. Ko ne zna engleski, nek’ sebi puca u noge ili ga nauči. Google Dictionary u ruke i biće sve ok. Reći da je tekst predugačak je očigledno oznaka seljačine. Stoga, rećiću da je tekst izuzetno opširan i potpuno vredan 10min koji su potrebni da se pročita.
