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!
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
Yep, 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...
There 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 :)
