Curiosity down to last 2 layers!

Humanity-verifying toenails are an even better prize than I could have imagined.

Forget Captchas, it's all about toenails now!

it's just a metaphor for Pandora's Box. everyone that ever played will have a malicious DRM based virus that will attach itself to a very specific kernel on your PC and will destroy your computer from the inside out. Enjoy!

This is taking too long.

Validated winner has responded now we will see if he is willing to share #whatsinsidethecube

peter molyneux ‏@pmolyneux 39s

We are sending the winner the video explaining what's inside, hope he shares #whatsinsidethecube

Now the real experiment begins.

Part of me just wishes the winner doesn't share, and we die without ever knowing what was inside the cube.

Edit: https://twitter.com/pmolyneux/status/338686110966353920 scratch what I said earlier, I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!

Well, apparently he's going to share, we don't need to hunt him down after all.

He said he'll share!

I can't wait for the disappointment at what the secret actually is.

He has said he will share!!!!!!!!!

This is fucking intense.

So, it's just going to be a Video Thing...

God dammit what is it?!

Why did i even come in here....now i need to know

How long is this video :|

The fuck (oh wait, wrong Twitter account, heh):

petermolydeux ‏@PeterMolydeux 6s

Hoping the winner shares the video. Just waiting for them to finish watching it. It's 22 hours long so it might be tomorrow.

Sorry, someone had to do it.

@Gnubberen: "Oh great, Paltrow's head. Just what I needed, thanks Molyneux!"

I'm excited for something i have no clue about!!!

He has to watch the damn think.

JJ Abrams doesn't approve of the winner's decision

Inside the cube, there is a box, and on this box, there is a simple button. When the button is pressed, fart noises come out.

Perhaps he is getting impatient?

I bet the video says "you now wield absolute power in your hands. You have the world wrapped around your fingertips, eager for knowledge that only you have. Will you share it with them? Will you lie to them? Or will you forever keep them groveling at your feet?" THE ULTIMATE MORAL CHOICE. Then the person grows devil horns or gets a halo depending on their choice.

@beachthunder: Video Thing!

I couldn't imagine what Molyneux looks like when he's impatient.

I might've played too many videogames, but the first thing that came to mind is that the whole thing is a play on "curiosity killed the cat", and the "winner" is now getting a little special visit.

I think there's something wrong with me =/

Is the video of a dead cat.

@rafaelfc: I'm pretty sure Jeff's hand and white iPad are on that video at around 1:48 from that ILM or something around when this thing came out.

There was actually an alive and dead cat inside :o

Peter Molyneux is not an amazing prize ;___;'

Edit: being a fake god is all right, I suppose.

percentage of godus sales and the nebulous ability to be a god in the game....

boring

Well that was about as disappointing as I can imagine.

Pretty cool for the guy, I suppose...if it does well.

Not a bad prize, I think.

Huh. Well alright then.

At least it's something more tangible of a reward than just a video of Molyneux spouting platitudes.

That seems as good as possible. Depending on what that small piece of the pie is I guess

Shit, I would ask if I could trade the designer part for a developer part. That would be more fun than watching them completely dismiss my ideas.

That's a pretty nice prize though. Get to help design a game and get royalties. Hope that guy reads the fine print -- probably includes a clause that Molyneux now owns your soul.

Sounds like a prize that I would have been excited to get.

Over-promise, under-deliver.

Didn't see that one coming......

Someone pointed out in the NeoGAF thread:

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Now the dude has to balance a desire to be a knobhead-god with the desire to make as many people play as possible.

It's an interesting way to look at it.

I don't know why everyone id disappointed. He gets an actual piece of Godus money and gets to decide how the game plays out. That sounds pretty damn neat to me.

That's actually pretty cool.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

If I were god, every Friday would be Hawaiian shirt day.

It's a real reward, I'm shocked. Also, pretty neat, surpassed my admittedly low expectations.
