molyneux'd

To over-hype something to the point of building expectations that the final product will never be able to fufill. The word comes from Peter Molyneux who is known to speak candidly about games he is working on, in all cases never truly able to deliver on his word.

After reading all those reviews of this movie, I feel totally molyneux'd after actually seeing it.

Molyneux'd

Having your mind blown after watching one of Stefbot's videos on youtube.

If you want to be Molyneux'd, I would suggest watching "The Bomb in the Brain" series on youtube.

Molyneux Syndrome

The mindset of a game developer who thinks that his/her game can deliver 'everything (the audience) has ever hoped for' in a game of that genre.

This mindset is named for the developer of Fable, Peter Molyneux. Though a solid game, Fable did not hold up to the revolutionary and dynamic RPG it was set up to be.

He makes sky-high promises and claims he can make a game pretty much by himself and in Flash; this guy has Molyneux Syndrome written ALL over him.

Molyneuxed

Derived from famous video game idiot, Peter Molyneux. This word is used to convey that you over hyped something repeatedly.

What? You said this was 'literally the best thing you've ever tasted.' You so Molyneuxed this food.

Molyneux

To not deliver to previous promises made regarding the development of something.

To not meet high expectations set by the person (the Molyneux).

The developers of that game really pulled a Molyneux this time.

It looked so good - it turned out to be nothing more than Molyneux.

Molyneuxing

a) The act of over selling something with intense hype and not deliver in the claims made previous.

b) The act of product overselling with false claims.

"yo man, i bought the game you told me to get and not a DAMN thing was true about what he does in it. Next time i catch you Molyneuxing I'm going to punch you in the eye!!!"

Molyneux

A Molyneux is a unit of measurement of skepticism and general unimpressedness

That movie review was at least 5 Molyneuxs.
