I did not call Yahtzee a liar, so I am not a villain. Unless I used the word "liar," you can't hold this against me. You merely took it that way. You're being rude and obnoxious, and it is very hard to hold a conversation when you continue to go on about me calling Yahtzee a liar, when I clearly did not. We aren't in Grade School, where kids go on and on about "he said this," and "he said that," I would hope.
I usually don't answer older posts but yours really takes the cake. You said that what Yahtzee said wasn't true, that it didn't happen in the game and that he stretched the whole dog bit. When you say something isn't true you are telling the person that they are lying even if that's not there intention.
Why you don't want to stand behind your original post is beyond me. You had a reason to say what you said, you aren't a villian you were merely pointing out what was wrong and saying that perhaps Yahtzee intentionally lied about some things for humor. There's nothing wrong with saying that - unless you feel guilty which you apparently do. In fact you went on for several paragraphs explaining why you weren't a liar that I took out for clarity. If you want to argue semantics we can, I am a Linguist but really all I'm saying is stand behind what you write and don't be intimidated by harsh words.
Personally I believe that he used this just to make a point about how useless the dog was at times.

Moving on to your vast amount of links, I would just like to say that you do not have enough of them to change my opinion. Unless you can show me over 1,000 websites about Fable 2's glitch issues, each having over 100,000 hits, I will not agree with you that Fable 2 is so "glitched" that it should be recalled. Why, you may ask? Millions of people bought this game, and ten or so sites complaining about them will not cover all of those consumers. The game is bugged, I agree. The game is glitchy up the ass, I agree. However my gaming experience has been fine, and I don't even use Xbox live.
This is just plain absurd. You need vast amounts of websites to prove to you how glitched a game is? As though the number of websites is some sort of truth? And demanding 100,000 hits is just as silly. Not all people visiting these sites will have had glitches. Some may arrive there by accident, some may come to see what the fuss is all about and some may not even have the game yet and are just looking around to see what problems exist in it. So measuring a site by the number of hits is a poor way to prove that there is a problem.
Also you have to take into account that a good majority of people do not get online to complain about something. Some people just take care of things with the company or return the game in disgust without getting on line and starting a post or website detailing their every problem. What you would really need to see is the company log of how many people are having problems - that would far surpass anything you would find on the web.
There are many, many posts of people talking about how Fable II is not only bugged up completely but that it also crashed their Xbox. Amazon alone has many complaints about this very issue. If a game is that glitched that it is actually crashing the console then something should be done. The company announced that a patch was coming almost at the same time the game was released - doesn't that tell you that something isn't right? This game was released as a Beta version instead of finished product, probably so that they could meet their deadline and get it out for the Christmas holiday.
The company must stand behind their product. They need to give people their money back, acknowledge that problems exist and
quickly find a way to fix them instead of just promising a future cure-all patch. Every company cares about bad press regardless of how many people are complaining. While I don't think the game should be recalled I do think drastic action needs to be taken or Lionhead Studios is going to be out of a lot of customers both current and future - those influenced by what is happening now and not wanting to become a customer in the first place.
