Xbox 360 Arcade Game Giveaway: Fable II Pub Games
November 6, 2008 39 Comments
Thanks to a very generous fellow blogger by the name of Kato, I have in my possession exactly one code which will unlock the full Fable II Pub Games available on the Xbox 360 Arcade. Assuming I can resist the temptation of using it myself (lucky for you I have a busy day and probably won’t get to turn on my Xbox), this code is up for grabs to one lucky reader. About this game (from Xbox.com) :
The Fable II Pub Games include three exciting casino-style games set in the world of Lionhead’s award-winning Fable series. The games include Fortune’s Tower (a pyramid card game in which each row can make or break your fortunes), Keystone (a game of dice and chance with numerous betting options), and Spinnerbox (where luck is everything). When you get the retail version of Fable II, you can transfer gold and unique items that you’ve won in these pub games to your characters in the world of Albion.
Gold transfer to Fable II: Earn gold playing the Pub Games weeks before the Fable II release, and then transfer the gold into the world of Albion for a head start.
In-game unlockables: The Pub Games allow you to unlock game variants based on the amount your play regardless of wins or losses.
Bust out options: You have several options when you bust out. Participate in free tournaments paying off gold for time mirroring FII jobs, or utilize the credit system based on meta game’s star rating.
Tournaments: Win 15 unique Fable II items in in the Pub Games via tournaments. You can even unlock new Fable II concept art, a first taste of Fable II for the hardcore.
If Fable II Pub Games sounds like something you would enjoy, just leave a comment on this article saying how incredibly awesome Kato is for giving us this code. Perhaps you can mention his rugged good looks or his exceptionally amazing video game skills. Whatever you do, just don’t bring up the mustard he had his shirt yesterday, unless of course you discuss how it complemented his eyes. You have until 5 pm PST tomorrow (11.07.08) to enter and then a winner will be drawn using a random integer generator. When you leave your comment, it’s important to use a valid email address as that is how the winner will be contacted. And remember, you must say something nice about Kato to have your comment be a valid entry. Good luck!
Hey! Awesome contest! Kato is pretty darn generous for handing out a pub code like this! Anyway I like new blogs to read and I’ve never been to Kato’s so I look forward to adding it to my reading list.
Kato is rocktastic!
Eventhough I know my compliment would easily win the code, no competition, I will honorably refuse the prize because I don’t want it anyway.
I don’t think I like Fable 2.
Kato is a winner!
Just scanned the blog. Funny dog story.
Kato = bacon.
My friend’s cat is named Kato. He is the cutest little kitten I have ever seen.
Kato > Everything.
He rocks. Nice blog also.
Kato has an EPIC AVATAR!
Soooo cool of you Kato to give away a free code!
BTW, Kato’s also the kindest character from the “Gantz” manga :p
Kato…
…OK, *crack knuckles*…
Kato is fireproof, non-toxic, and completely kid safe.
Kato is made of 100% DNA, which 4 out of 5 dentists agree is the way a human should be composed.
Kato could have given this code to anyone, but chose to give it to bs angel.
Kato is smarter than the average bear.
Kato does not streak, stain, or leave smudges on your windows, giving you that just woke up feeling of freshness.
Kato has probably already danced around in other people’s clothing in Fable II.
Kato in Latin means “all-knowing”; and well, he DID supply the code…
(Proof:http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Kato)
Kato leads the wave at local football events.
Kato is hopefully finding these comments funny.
That’s it, I’m tapped.
XBox 360 – The long hair is a great look on you bs angel…
Kato, you are truly the most wonderful creature to ever walk this earth. Without precious souls like your own our world would be a dark, and empty place. I feel as though it would be shallow to now discuss your rugged good looks, but the temptation is too much. If your eyes could be enhanced it could only be by some mustard purposely placed on your shirt. Oh, I have seen beauty and his name is Kato.
Sincerly,
AaRonH
Generous people are always cool in my book. Thanks to Kato for giving something up to the community.
Kato is fantastic with smooth rock hard abs ;)

Kato is the best thing since sliced bread… IN FACT Kato INVENTED sliced bread, you know what, never mind that, Kato is too awesome to have invented sliced bread, he just thought of it and 5 scientist in a small grass hut in Brazil invented it and gave him all the credit.

Kato is not just awsomeness, Kato is simply the definition of awsomeness
if you looked up Awesome in the dictionary Katos name would be all over it
if you killed master chief and took his helmet off itd be Kato

I think kato can best be summed up by my blog post about him from two years ago:
1. Kato is actually a 76 year old woman who runs a Cabbage Reclamation Factory somewhere outside Wales.
2. ‘Evil Genius; Kato Katonian’ is not Kato’s alter-ego. He is actually his pet tortoise, real name: Alan.
3. When Kato uses the terms ‘Interweb’ or ‘Internets’ etc. He’s not being funny or ironic, he thinks that what the Internet is actually called.
4. Kato has never laughed. He simply screams the word ‘LOL’ when he finds something amusing. He once ruptured his spleen by screaming “OMG! ROFLMAO!”
5. Despite his appearance of seeming witty, and knowledgeable, all his post topics come from “The Super Bumper Guide to Humor and the Internet : Junior Addition, Ages 4 -7”
6. He writes all his blog posts on a Sinclair ZX-81, because he believes the rubber keys give him ‘Sexual Powers’.
7. Kato is the only person in the world who has used the term ‘Crazy Delicious’ on a job application.
8. Kato’s number one hobby is ‘Hiding’. This has also appeared on a job application.
9. Kato’s biggest enemy is Lord of the Dance’s Michael Flattley, as he believes that the Irish dancer only performs in order to hypnotize him with his legs.
10. Kato consumes twice his bodyweight in ‘Kibbles and Bits’ every six hours. He can also unhinge his jaw like a snake.
11. Kato’s biggest dream is to one day own a ‘pleasant little burrow of his own’, where he plans to raise turnips.
12. The only material Kato will allow to touch his body is ‘pure raccoon skin’, which must come from only particularly cunning raccoons.
13. Kato once won the lottery three times in a week, but managed to lose the cash down the back of his couch.
14. Kato’s favorite musicians are the Bay City Rollers, The Gypsy Kings and Mad Alex’s Washboard Jamboree…but only when heard through his ‘totally stylin’ purple and mauve headphones.
15. Kato sleeps for exactly 4 minutes 32 seconds per day, because he believes that it’s when you’re asleep that they ‘come for you’.
16. Kato does not own a car. He does, however, have the amazing ability to float to work while making ‘brum-brum’ noises.
17. Kato always faces the back wall of elevators when he is forced to ride one.
18. Kato has outlawed talking within the walls of his home. Visitors are forced to communicate by hitting coconut husks with bits of wood. It is also forbidden to hit the coconut husk with anything but bits of wood that are the ‘regulation length’.
19. Kato once held his breath for a staggering 2.8 seconds. He is still in a legal battle with ‘The Guinness Book of Records’, which refused to record his feat for posterity.
20. Kato refers to everyone he meets only as ‘Dave’.
21. Kato had the stairs in his home removed and replace with a giant ‘Slip ‘n’ Slide’. He enjoyed sliding down this just once, and has not been able to gain access to his second floor since.
22. Kato is deathly afraid of three things: Plaid Shirts, any animal named Steve, and dogs with orange eyebrows.
23. Kato is attracted to shiny things, and can therefore be killed by throwing a small piece of tinfoil off a cliff.
24. Kato spent 10 years of his life building a rocket, in the hopes of being the first human on Mars. On launch day, the cardboard box, with green stars crayoned on the side, a steering wheel from an old Ford Fiesta as the controls and sticky-backed paper ‘Power Wheels’ gauges, never left the ground. He vows to try again in 2007.
25. Kato will only refer to chickens as ‘Mother Cluckers’.
kato = superstar

Kato is a BEAST.
Kato = Chuck Norris in disguise.
Kato = better than a dead baby

Kato = better than a pile of dead babies on fire

Kato’s pretty cool. He was played by Bruce Lee in the ’60′s.
Unless his last name is Kaelin
Kato’s code-giving abilities are second to none. I am in awe of the speed and power with which he gives codes … to me.
I don’t know him or have never heard of him but he must be awesome to be willing to be soo generous and kind to give out the code. I have something to admit.
I LOVE HIM.
Seriously.
Well to me kato is just following his programming.

Kato, you are truly awesome . I’m betting you the kind of guy who climbs mountains, but while doing a handstand, just because. You are the coolest person to walk this planet, which was made in your honor, most likely. And to just give away a Pub Game code….. that is just amazing. I give you a virtual 2 thumbs up, you are the best. Could your braina and muscles get any bigger?!?!
