Denis Dyack, the president of development studio Silicon Knights, has held his arm in a bucket full of ice for hundreds of days. Were this literally true, the appendage would have become frost-bitten and useless months ago, but we mean this figuratively -- as if that's any consolation for Dyack, who is also the director of the software house's forthcoming epic Xbox 360 trilogy, Too Human. The ice bucket is actually a metaphor for the suck-it-up-and-buckle-down attitude that Silicon Knights has clung to as a defense mechanism since its showing of Too Human at the Electronics Entertainment Expo last year -- an unveiling that was by some accounts a mistake and by others an outright disaster. The result was a tidal wave of backlash and through all the criticisms by media and all the verbal lashings by fans and skeptics, there was the ice bucket -- cold as a bitter storm.
