How Jeff Minter Met The 360 35
The Guardian Gamesblog has a piece on Jeff Minter's hookup with the Xbox 360. From the article: "It basically happened because a certain well-connected friend of mine really liked what we were doing here with VLM3 on the Gamecube, and brought someone from MS here to see. He in turn got very enthusiastic, and went back to MS and began bending ears. It took a fair bit of prodding and sending of demos but eventually it progressed to the point where I got hold of a devkit. Once we had proper live 360 code running it turned from 'maybe' to 'definitely!'."

WTF is an XBOX then?
It boots a shitty version of NT, and can boot Linux. Looks like a computer to me.

Rare...try to find anyone from the original dev teams walking the halls...
Bungie...getting bought out by MS hasn't changed anything...nope...not a thing...
Minter...was somewhat cool back in the ST days, now...
Landing in xbox land is basically letting the console world know you just don't give a shit anymore.

and don't forget Molyneux, Fable being an Xbox exclusive made no difference and in fact hurt sales figures severely.
