Fable II Pub Games Giveaway

by Kato @ 12:51 AM

UPDATE: Contest is over, a winner was chosen. Congratulations! If you're still looking for a code, try the Lionhead blog! Original post follows...

I have come into the possession of a certain download code for Xbox 360. Do not ask how I acquired said code, suffice it to say that prayers to dark gods were involved and Odysseyian rites were performed. Regardless, it's safe to say that those chaps over at Lionhead Studios are generous and just plain swell.

And now the fruits of my questionable labors can be yours.

I'm giving this code away, but since my blog readership consists solely of me and anyone on whose PC I've secretly changed the start page, I've entrusted it to another: The fabulous and sassy bs angel. She's holding a contest over at Hawty McBloggy to give away this tasty, tasty Fable II Pub Games code. All you gotta do is go there and leave a comment on the article saying how awesome I am (humble, too, I might add). She'll pick a random winner from those who comment.

So if you're feeling lucky, give it a go, you might just win. And just so you know, only comments over on her article will enter you in the random drawing. You can comment here to your heart's content, but it won't get you anywhere but in my good graces. Still, feel free to comment here on my awesomeness to inflate my ego, or the perhaps greater awesomeness of miss angel.

If you've come here after seeing the post on her blog, I welcome you to my brain dump on the Internet. Oh, and the comments you guys have left there are awesome. Kudos!

Well, I didn't win...but you, sir, are a gentleman.

PS, do you still play Halo 3? I just got it today and I'm looking for some non-preteen squeaky voiced racists to play it with.

Ummm, I mean, I'm looking for people who are NOT preteen squeaky voiced racists to play the game with.

Kids, punctuation is important. It stops you from accidentally calling someone a squeaky voiced racist when you don't mean to.

So to sum up, Paulius would not like to play with:
* Preteens.
* Squeaky Voiced individuals.
* Racists.
* Any combination of the above.

Of course, he told me all this in a voice message that was nothing more than a high-pitched hate-filled diatribe about how his "stupid parents" won't let him stay up late and how he hates "those dirty, stinking Eskimos" so take that for what it is worth.

I kid.

Mostly.

Paulius, I do play a spot of Halo now and then. I'll find you on Xbox Live when Saints Row 2 releases me from it's grip.

Actually, Paulius Inc. would like to clarify the following points:

Paulius Inc. is not, and never will be, predjudiced against those younger than thirteen, or people with Bass-challenged voices and we apologize if we gave that impression.

Paulius Inc. is an equal opportunity blogger and simply wished to express its distaste for racists of all ages and voice pitches.

Paulius Inc would also like to inquire about the possible awesomeness of Saints Row 2 as a small cashflow issue meant we could only afford GTA IV. We would appreciate a blog post on this topic at some point in the upcoming quarter.

My apologies.

Correction:
Paulius would like to play with no one BUT squeaky-voiced preteen racists.

Glad we got that straightened out.

As for Saints Row 2, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Since I haven't really played a GTA title since GTA 3, I can't speak to comparing the two. But there was a lot that they did in Saints Row that I thought furthered the genre a bit (the biggest improvement, in my opinion, is the built in "gps" that lets you set a waypoint on the map--very handy).

If you are interested in Saints Row 2, I recommend picking up a copy of the first one, which can probably be had for somewhat cheap since it is a 2 year old title. It's still an Xbox 360 title (not original Xbox) so you shouldn't feel like you are playing an "old" game as it were.

Although playing the first one isn't required for playing the second, there are a lot of jokes and in-references to the first in Saints Row 2 that would be missed otherwise.

So to sum it up:
Pick up a copy of Saints Row 1 on the cheap and enjoy. When you finish that, if you liked it, pick up Saints Row 2. SR2 is more of the same goodness.
