With videogames riding the technological wave with wanton abandon, it should come as no surprise that the latest Internet fads and fashions quickly become gaming news resources. Twitter is no exception, with all sorts of juicy tidbits and gossip coming from the online ego feeder.
UK TV presenter and relatively funny man Jonathan Ross has a Twitter, and shared a rather cool snippet of info with us. He's been presenting the BAFTAs in Britain, where Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare picked up three awards. It seems that while he's been hanging out with the UK games industry, he's been getting chatty with Lionhead, who apparently offered him a role in a new Fable game. The offshoot of this is that he accidentally revealed Fable 3 is in the works.
Ross, who goes by the name "Wossy" on Twitter as a nod to his famous speech impediment, stated the news before bed: "Goodnight all. Must go to bed. Got asked to do voice in Fable 3 tonight. Subarashi. Oyasuminasia. Woss out."
I personally hope he takes it. Ross is no actor, but he's a charismatic chap and his voice would definitely be a high point of the next Fable, as Stephen Fry's was in Fable 2. Plus he doesn't understand how ridiculously secretive videogame PR is, so maybe he can tell us more stuff we're not allowed to know.
I should remind everyone that this is not Destructoid's Jonathan Ross, more's the pity.
Also, because the shameless and evil Nick Chester plugs his Twitter in every Twit-related post, I will now plug mine. Unfollow Nick Chester, and add me and Brad Nicholson.

I'll leave the rest to your imaginations.
DO they even know whit the game engine will be like yet? Or the new features? How can they record dialogue unless they know who the character is, what he says, which makes it sound much more likely he's doing it for DLC.
But then Wossy is a gamer, he wouldn't make a mistake like that.
Aerox gets all the good jobs.
Bought Fable II for some reason. I guess because it had a lot of hype - Mistake #2.
Will Fable III be hyped to the max again? It seems like it's already happening. It's such a generic series, and the second one had one of the worst stories and endings found in any game ever made.

i thought that! Why doesn't everyone else think that? i really wanted to like it, Brit-developed RPG, looked nice etc etc... but the dungeons (the few that there were) only had about 3 rooms, and you can't die!
And LOL @ "watered down for the casuals."
