Knothole Island theme

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

Since a couple of  days there has been a new theme available for the NXE; Knothole Island Theme (Premium). It’s all yours for 250 points. I need to get me some points so I can get this, fits really well with the weather currently (cold, no snow).
This isn’t a European timezone, all decent people are now sleeping, some even starting to dream. I’ve got Toronto Raptors @ Cleveland Cavaliers on on television (probably not live, it’s been years since I saw anything of the NBA).
What are you up to right now?

Peter on tonight’s X-Play

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

When returning from Tokyo earlier in the year, a friendly voice claimed “Attention! The end of the walk is ahead!” I politely pointed out it was not, it was a walk way, not a head. Peter and Cathy smiled. Something is afoot at G4TV, Peter is going to be teasing something on tonight’s X-Play episode. More details on this link.
On tonight’s episode of X-Play at 8PM ET, Peter Molyneux will drop some exclusive details on the TWO new games he is currently working on.
Now an important detail is “some” as I don’t think we should expect any big stuff that is being announced here, but at least it’s nice to hear Peter talk again by all the stuff that’s been going on here at Lionhead.
EDIT: Sorry forgot to add codes!

Brainygamer review of Fable II

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

There are gaming blogs everybody knows, who sometimes will score a headline over checking facts, there are blogs like my sister’s who are tiny and really only appeal to her friends and then there’s those blogs that actually write about topics in a way that is very appealing and in depth. Brainygamer is one of them (and yeah, I love all blogs).
I have been following Brainygamer’s articles about RPGs with great interest and if you consider yourself an RPGamer I suggest you have a look at their older content.
The review can be found here.
For everyone here’s another 20 Pub Games codes!

10 Things Overheard From Orbs

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

Found this link on our forums (originally posted by AbsintheMinded0) and it is a “Top 10 Things Overheard From Other Players’ Orbs in Fable II” posted by Game Informer re: Fable II. It had me in pretty giggles…
My favourite one? “Dang it, I’m already married.  Can I still have sex with people?”
Plus, with no direction, like a complete unknown, another set of twenty codes.

The Movies Online History

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

After three years – 2005 to 2008 - almost two million visitors and over a years worth of unique movies posted (that’s 33025270 seconds), Lionhead Studios feels it’s time for the final curtain to come down on The Movies: Online. The site was ahead of its time, with user-created-content being the main part of the site. We’d like to thank our community, fans and everyone who helped making The Movies: Online not only a success but also a great place to be! We’ve set up a page about the History of TMO, you can find it here.
So long and thanks for all the fish, no more 1-star Ninjas!

Fable II Patch Status Update

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

Patch time is coming, to town! Ok I admit, that was pretty bad… We haven’t forgotten about the patch that was promised a while ago, the team sends word that the update is coming along nicely. These are some of the fixed issues that come up the most on our forums or email but by no means is it a complete one. The update is currently being tested and finalized, so for those (few) of you having trouble, we’re listening to you.
- The Ritual/Monk’s Quest – Fixed the issue with the Abbott becoming unresponsive if you leave Oakfield before he finishes talking. This will fix the problem if you’ve already hit it, too.
- Rescuing Charlie/Rescue My Baby – after rescuing Charlie, you can now able to interact with objects
- Guild Cave chest – resolves any issues with previously inability to retrieve items unlocked from Limited Collector’s Edition, website or Chicken Kickin’ game. If you’ve already hit this bug you should now get your items.
- The Spire (Pt2) – no more issues with ship captain being unresponsive
- The Hero of Skill (Pirate King) – you’ll no longer get stuck during Hero of Skill quest (Bloodstone)
- T.O.B.Y./Trouble In Bloodstone – you’ll no longer get stuck during T.O.B.Y. quests (Bloodstone)
- Your child - will no longer be chosen as an assassination target
- Furniture Shop in Albion (Bowerstone) will now always have something for sale
- Additional unspecified fixes
In other news here are again 20 codes for the Pub Games!

"Can I has code plz"

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

IGN posted a review of the Fable II OST (official soundtrack) giving it an 8.4 or impressive. “Surprisingly, Shaw and Elfman’s music melds together rather nicely, though the former’s style is a bit more restrained and straightforward, perhaps not as lavishly whimsical. Yet it’s Shaw’s score that dominates in the end, creating a rich and immersive musical environment that perfectly compliments the nature of the game itself.
Pretty cool, you can find the whole review here.
Yes you can also have a code, here’s another twenty.

It’s so cold in Knothole Island

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

It’s so cold here in Guildford, my mum thought it would be a G o o d [Good] idea to call me at 7 in the morning to tell me it was going to be really cold today. Great! When asked why she phoned me at 7 in the morning, she replied “I didn’t have anything else to do…” That’s just great! I’m going to suggest she gets an Xbox360, link her up with LIPS or Fable II and at least that way I can get my sleep. Mothers…. Wink [;)]
The lake in the Research Park is frozen today, which reminds me of that little thing called PDLC we have on the horizon: Knothole Island. Of course we’re going to have a new Video Diary about it (already told you) and also a new addition to Tales of Albion. But a blog entry wouldn’t be a blog entry without pretty pictures, so… here we go, 3 new screenshots of Knothole Island!



There used to be a time when the most frequently asked question I got was “When is game X coming out?” Those days are behind us (at least for now), in recent times it seems “Can I has code plz” is the question… Sure, here’s twenty.

This promotion of Fable II (now £19.57) might be G o o d [Good] news if you’re living in the UK.

My work on the next Video Diary

From Sam on Lionhead’s blogs:

You all probably thought that with the release of Fable II there was no reason to continue the Lionhead Video Diaries. You were wrong. Very wrong!
The last few weeks I’ve been working on a new video diary, the online edit is being done as I am writing this (at a secret location) and if all goes to plan it should be out in the next two weeks. We want it to come out on the Marketplace before the DLC (that was announced last week) so I think it’s safe to assume it’ll be out in the next two weeks (the Video Diary that is!). You can all probably guess what this one is going to be about…

Can anyone make out who’s nose this is?

For those of you who are still desperate to get a copy of the Fable II Pub Games for free, I bring you another list of 20 codes! First come, first serve…
