Peter Molyneux cut my hair once at a Friday meeting in 2003 while I was interning at Lionhead on Black and White 2.
It was a very interesting company, full of brilliant people. Demis Hassabis wasn't there anymore, but Alex Evans was, and he was my demoscene programming idol at the time. I didn't hesitate to get both their autographs before going back home!
- lubonay 6y ago...cut your hair?
- sdenton4 6y agoI'm envisioning something like the hair cut scene in 'Russian Doll.'
- pixelpoet 6y agoThere were a bunch of internal mailing lists including the "water cooler" lhsocial, and one day (I was 19, please forgive me) I wrote that I had no idea where to get a hairdresser and anyone with scissors is welcome to have a go. So he called me out in the middle of a Friday all hands meeting and, well, kept his side of the deal :)
- bovermyer 6y agoThat is so cool. I love serendipitous stuff like this.
- DrPhish 6y agoAlex Evans is statix/acme? As I never was able to go to a democompo (rural west-coast Canadian upbringing), I have trouble picturing all these demoscene heroes of my youth as actual people... Acme's 303 is one of my favourite demos of all time. Legend It must have been amazing to intern with him!
- pixelpoet 6y agoYep, that's the one! I also enjoyed demoscene from afar in South Africa, and it wasn't until recent years that I was finally able to attend demoscene events here in Europe. Well, then COVID came along...
- myth_drannon 6y agoAh right, the Paper demo guy!
- corysama 6y agoHe went on to do a bit more than that ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gce4l5orts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gce4l5orts He actually just announced that he's going to take a break from working in gamedev for the first time https://twitter.com/mmalex/status/1301476401611145218 https://twitter.com/mmalex/status/1301476401611145218
