He could've achieved precisely the same thing without resorting to humiliating suggestions. Moreover, it also set the tone that John doesn't need answers from Molyneux, because the answers are assumed in the questions themselves.
Stop pretending "asking him if he says things that aren't true, without meaning to" is what John was doing. That's such a patently diluted conception of pathological lying as a term that it can only come from someone eager to mollify John's linguistic pugilism. If I frequently say the sky is blue when, unbeknownst to me, it is in fact quite grey, am I a pathological liar? Let's at least attempt to remain faithful to the terms themselves.
Press him to do what, say exactly what you expected him to say? I didn't see anything from Molyneux himself that was what I'd consider surprising.
John made statements rendered in the form of pseudo-questions, and Molyneux floundered around him. As an interview, it was a failure.
Edit: These are my last responses on the matter, because I don't want to take this thread off on this unnecessary tangent any more.

Van Persie has a knock. Probably won't play on Monday.

Jacky boy did something really nice and went to go see one of his fans with muscular dystrophy. warms the cockles of my brown heart. Jack's mom saw him on tv and thought he'd come surprise the kid.

That was actually what he was doing though.
But either way, I am happy he did it. Molyneux absolutely deserves some very harsh feedback to his endless stream of verbal diarrhea. Even if 90% of the interview ended up being them going through all the times he contradicted himself or lied.
and I would certainly say it was a bit surprising to see Molyneux that openly pressured and saying it outright. He pretty much said the only way he can stop this, is by not speaking to the press at all. Which is probably the only solution here, as his PR man is gone and only has bad (or... rather terrible) things to say, despite having been really close to the person for so long. He really can't help himself.
New York. Fashion show. Alright for some, innit. 😒

It's nice to see someone whose muscles are wasting away to get to meet a young fan.

Well, I wasn't expecting anything because I didn't know this interview was gonna happen. I only kind of expected an explanation on why he forgot about the guy who won the Cube thing after the Eurogamer article, and we got it: Molyneux forgot about him, or assumed someone else was keeping track of him. But I disagree, the questions are about things that happened, that were said by him, and we did get answers: What about the artbook? Why go with a publisher? What about the abandoned PC version of the game? Should people expect their money back for some of these things, and will they get it? What about the student forums that were going up and didn't? Etc, etc.
These are very concrete things. You may not like the confrontational tone or whatever, but there were questions and there were answers, that for once, weren't complete bullshit. I think the interview was a success.
But it's fine. There are other threads to talk about this, so I'm out too.
I left my job in December, been travelling because I missed out before and after uni. The show is one I helped run for three years at uni, so got invited back. It'll be good to see some friends from uni, plus I know a few of the models and that always helps at the afterparty.

It's the first Arsenal joke I've made in 2015. I was at bursting point.
I don't know, but he was complaining about input lag when playing with Bla-chan.
Controller worked fine, Bla and I drew 2-2 and were drawing 0-0 and I was getting a fair amount of input lag that, while it would have had a negligible effect on the result, I was unprepared for due to the fact I hadn't played online at all yet.
And then the internet connection dropped and the game was cancelled
So yes, salvadora.

omg that excuse again :lol
let's hope Louieh gets a knock on the head and realises that Rooney is not a midfielder and that Evans is not a footballer
damn that unreliable third world internet in london
:lol i'm not even blaming it
I got a good result and bla was unlucky not to win
I'm not saying i would have played better, just that i was unused to having to play with the input lag
But its okay salva and viva you're too pussy to even play
i will blame the input lag and you can blame your fear

I use a powerline, was working fine when I played Zabo :S
dean has had numerous problems with the internet in his room. This is a known fact. Email my father if you want. Maybe we can't afford to pay for the fastest internet.
Now you're picking on the poor, huh? Salva, i expected better from you
Why don't you just go back to making jokes about burn victims that was much classier
I dont even know what a powerline is
If you mean that red cable, dad told me to plug it out and use the wifi
I told him it doesnt work up here but he didnt listen
Dad u fool

Cheers, will probably try that. Know I'm gonna struggle to get enough farm for an Orchid though
Do I want to level up Quas and Exort equally, like QEQEQEQE, or focus on one before the other?
Honestly, reading the OT and listening to people with decent MMR, I kind of hope I don't get good at the game. It sounds like it stops being fun at some point, and the win becomes the only thing that matters.
:lol
If he exits the PL, it'll be because of his injuries, nothing else.
Lukaku's attitude baffles me. I can't say its bad per se, but he seems a bit like he's not desperate to score and improve. Like, I watch Sturridge (and Suarez before), and even if we won they'd look pissed off if they hadn't scored. Not in a bad way where it makes it all about them, but you can tell that they think they've let themselves down.
I don't get that feeling with Lukaku. Its like he considers goals a bonus, rather than his job.

I don't, I blame it on the lad who knocked the beer over while reaching for water because he ate a chicken wing (bone included).

Go fart your dad right in the face, and then fart in your own face for being dumb enough to take his advice.

@WillKiller good game, got destroyed on that final bit.
Have to go now, but it was fun. Hopefully we can play some more in the future.
Small inquire though: how was the connection? It was fine on my side but since this interwebs isn't great I hope it's not too laggy for who plays against me.

I have only seen Bla and Zabo play. Pretty even; Bla creates lots of chances but wastes them.
Bla was better than me too but we drew. Probably should have taken advantage of my brainfarts :lol
We should have a tournament
DEAN IS HOME
I WILL GET HIM TO PUT IN THE RED CABLE

I've not played it since our games
Become one of those fucking idiots who spends a grand on a PC, and just plays a F2P game that could run on any old shite for hundreds of hours. Right, Masta?
Wonder if 3-4-2-1 works on PES
