Fable II will be released today exclusively on the Xbox 360 from Lionhead Studios. Microsoft has been building this product up and I’ve been waiting for Fable II to come out for a while now. As soon as a good fable II walkthrough is available, i will post a link here. This game was built up to be a pretty amazing game and judging by the reviews, I think this game will deliver. I cannot wait to get off work to go home and pop in the disc and re-enter the world of Albion.
The premise of the game is amazing. The choices you make define who you are. Will you be a Hero or Villain. Will people love you or fear you. How will you decide on these choices. My goal is to play through the game at least twice. Obviously once following the “right” good choices and another making the wrong choices. I can’t wait to see how the NPC’s react to the choices I make.
The good news is thate overall, metacritic has given this game very favorable reviews. I’ll give you guys an update as soon as I get to playing.

Was Brad Paisley Arrested?
There are a bunch of rumors floating around on the internet that Country Singer Brad Paisley was recently arrested when he landed in Tennessee. These Rumors are completely False.
Brad Paisley was not arrested.
The entire thing was a practical joke. Brad Paisley has been famous on his most recent tour of causing some practical jokes on his crew and opening acts. Apparently Jewel, also of country fame, finally got the upperhand on Paisley by having him ‘arrested’ for “noodling.”
The officers, after placing Paisley in handcuffs said, “We have a Mrs. Jewel Murray who has filed several charges against you in the state of Tennessee for excessive noodling,” apparently at hearing this, Paisley broke into laughter realizing it was all a good joke.
I will be interested to see what happens next in this ongoing practical saga.

“Gotta Look Up to Get Down”
The season is now in full swing – and Vince is still unemployed. In an effort to get Vince some much needed cash, Vince agrees to appear in a Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign for 1 million dollars. The episode continues with the crew heading to the photoshoot to get more information. Shauna makes the correct introductions while Turtle and Drama head off to find some supermodels. Eric meets a very tall supermodel who is looking for representation and Drama and Turtle continually strike out.
While this is all going on, Ari attends Alan’s funeral and meets with an Executive from Warners. Unknown to him, the exec has always liked Ari and offers him the Head of Studio role. Dana Gordon catches wind and immediately calls Ari wanting a job under him.
Ari heads back to his agency to contemplate his new offer. When he arrives, he has presents waiting for him which makes Lloyd very suspicious. In the heat of the moment, Ari decides he’s going to go meet the executive in Europe.
The episode ends with Ari and Vince running into eachother – boarding private jets respectively.
Ari comes clean with Vince and informs him about the offer. They then head off in separate directions.
This may be my favorite episode this season and I’ll tell you why. In the closing minutes of this episode, you finally see the relationship that Vince and Ari have developed over the previous 5 seasons. I don’t know if it was the music, lighting, tone, or cinematography, but this scene really got to me. (BTW, if anyone knows the song that played in the closing seconds, please comment and let me know. I want to hear it again) Anyway, you realize that these two have developed a friendship out of their business relationship. They really do honestly care for one another. This theme of friendship really got to me.. and I’m glad it did.
HBO airs Entourage sundays at 9 PM
::UPDATE::
Special thanks to JGondek21 for letting me know the song during the closing scene. The song is “Fake Plastic Trees” by Radiohead.
