Fable 3 Villager

Upon my return to Bowerstone Market, I found my villager that I created online!

I chatted, danced, played “pat-a-cake”, hugged, kissed, and then proposed marriage to my villager! Oh fun!

After which I had to find a suitable house to live in and decide what type of wedding. I bought a house in Brighwall Village. Each city had their own type of wedding ceremony. In Brightwall, the best wedding you can have is an “Academy Wedding”. Hmm… I would rather something outside!

The most expensive wedding is a “Canal Wedding” in Bowerstone Industrial. It’s a rather dire city, so I’d rather not get married there. I found a “Lake Wedding” in Millfields. Perhaps I shall marry my villager there! It will be a gorgeous, luxury ceremony in the gazebo that stands on Bower Lake. Sounds divine!

This is my first marriage in the game. I’m pretty sure that you can be married to multiple people at the same time. I am wondering… Who in their right mind would want to do that!? An upkeep and maintenance fee for all those lonely house wives/husbands (depending on who you marry of course)! Nah, one is plenty for me thanks!

The ceremonial music was lovely! Wait… what! It’s over! That’s it! $5000 and I get a 10 second marriage. Yea, I guess it’s pretty close to reality eh!

Uhh my wife wants to have sex now! She wants to procreate. I would like to know how she is going to do what with my female character!

…back to my game! I am really enjoying Fable 3. It’s a fantastic game!

Sacrifice DLC: Left 4 Dead 2

What is the Sacrifice DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 and is it worth the purchase?

isn't he just the cutest little creature you've ever wanted to KILL

 

…Let’s start with the cost. It is 560 MSP, which in Canada translates to about $8. Not too shabby for those of us who are fortunate enough to have jobs (and in other cases… parents!).

It originated from a comic book series that Valve had introduced. It is a comic about the characters in Left 4 Dead and

This comic can be found by clicking this link: The Sacrifice

The comic book is an entertaining read! It’s in 4 parts

Alright, back to the DLC (downloadable content)

The characters are from the first Left 4 Dead, and it’s a prequel to the Passing (which is another DLC) .

The new feature included in this DLC is called “Sacrificial Gameplay”. You will have to decide who to sacrifice at the end of the level. The game automatically chooses Bill (if you have the Passing DLC then you would know this).

You will also get the “No Mercy” campaign from the original Left 4 Dead. This one is my favourite campaign, and since I broke my L4D disk… this is a bonus for me!

The campaign is fantastic! I had a lot of fun playing it. It’s short… so don’t expect loads of areas to explore or lots to do! BUT it’s fun and it’s new … so for the $8 it’s totally worth the purchase!

… go to your game and press YES to download it!

Left 4 Dead 2 DLC!!

I have been waiting anxiously for some new Downloads for Left 4 Dead 2! Finally… months after the release of “The Passing” (which was wonderful btw), we will be able to play “The Sacrifice”. Which will be available October 2010.

With the new DLC, you will be able to play the characters from the first Left 4 Dead. About bloody time!! I miss playing Zoey! =) She kicks some serious zombie butt

If you don’t know this already from “The Passing”, I have some bad news for you. Bill doesn’t make it. His brains are eaten by zombies! The remaining characters are Zoey, Louis, and Francis. That’s okay though… cause with the new DLC you will be able to determine which character gets their brains eaten. Fun… no!?

No Mercy will also be included in the DLC for Left 4 Dead 2! Have fun on your zombie killing rampage! mmmm….brains!

Also… if you are thinking about birthday presents for me (cause I love gifts!) There is a comic series starting in September! There will be 4 books, each one focusing on a specific character. I LOVE comics and Left 4 Dead… so I can’t wait!! I know, my birthday is a long way away, but I thought I would just put the word out there! hehe…

But really, pick up the comics! Or at least make sure the art is good first!

(Bill, Zoey, Louis, Francis)
