Peter Molyneux + Lucky Charms = Fable III appearance? photo

WTF? Lionhead's Peter Molyneux was a guest on the Engadget Show. During the show, the Fable III demo assistant mentioned that Molyneux was looking for a box of Lucky Charms as he can't get the terrible, Magically Rotten cereal in England.

He must have snapped. Or he really loves Lucky Charms. Somehow he got the idea to give the first person that came to the Engadget Show with a box of Lucky Charms a character appearance in Fable III. Dude totally could have went to the supermarket after the show, but now he's got to program some random Engadget readers' faces into his game.

Beyond this strange/awesome offer, Molyneux said that everyone else who brings in a box of the mouth-ripping, disgusting cereal will get a free sighend copy of the game.

The folks above, Monica and Jay, won. Look for them in the game when it comes out.

Does this mean he'll be interested in allowing players in Fable II to go around collecting lucky charms and slaughtering that goddamn Irish stereotype?

You know this is actually a pretty cool thing to do. If it wasn't.... say, the MOST stuck up guy in the industry pulling off this stunt, we'd probably respond pretty well. Say.... that Valve guy. If Gabe Newell was doing this we'd all be singing his praises.

@Doctor Tran: There's a difference between being stuck up and having much bigger dreams than you can deliver upon.

The guy looks like Ugly Betty.

Also, Lucky Charms aren't so bad if you're in the right mood for them. Not a favorite of mine personally (Fruity Pebbles and Peanut Butter Crunch 4LIFE), but I'll eat 'em if that's what's being offered.

Sure hope I can find and turn the safety off on that fugly dude there. I heat Lucky Charms at Halloween when they are they are called Boo Berries, Frakenberries or Count Chocula.

I plan on finding them in the game and killing them.

Lucky Charms used to be ok when I was a kid. There were always better things to eat with a lot less sugar.

Lucky Charms is a pauper's meal... Now Cinnamon Life, that is a breakfast of kings.

Also basing my Fable III purchase on A,whether or not Molyneux follows through on this and (more importantly) B, if the character will retain the glasses.

Cause if there's pink glasses-wearing Asians in Fable III, count me in.
