Neowin Exclusive Interview with Pete Hines


Recommended Posts

Alright, well we just finished. The interview will run about 56 minutes, give or take. We tried to ask as many questions as we could, but in the end I'm sure we missed some of the fan questions you guys wanted :|

In any event it went really well, he spoke about alot of good stuff, and hopefully the podcast will be posted up sometime tomorrow, or Wednesday the latest :)

1. Will there be some sort of visual degradation or audio effects when taking moon sugar or any alcoholic beverages?

Sorry, your question came too late. The interview has already been completed over 3 hours ago ;)

Greetz,

Milt

Sorry guys, it is still being edited. I have no ETA when it'll be finished. But I'd imagine sometime later today or early tomorrow. As soon as it is done, I will post it up on the main page, and make a post on the Elder Scrolls forums for you guys.

I'll also let Pete know, so he can link it on the main page.

    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project.

The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.
