1. Spam Conan O'Brien's e-mail with requests to be a guest on his show, claiming that your hair is better than his. Do not give up, do not falter, persistence is key.

2. When Conan caves and offers you a guest appearance, turn him down with the excuse, "I am currently in the middle of WW3 with a swarm of naked mole rats in my back yard."

3. Grow a mullet, mix it with a side part. Don't ask questions, just do it.

4. Show up for the time slot Conan offered you anyways, and throw a toddleresque hissy fit before they even turn you down, they will cave and let you go anyways.

5. Ask Conan why he didn't just take one for the team and put out with Oprah to keep his job on The Tonight Show.

6. Then ask "How do I become a game developer? Is it true that it takes a lot of work?"

7. Pick yourself up off the street, turn to the Conan Security Crew and point.

8. Go home, strip to your boxers(or boy shorts if your a girl), grab a bag of Cheetos Puffs,turn on Netflix and watch "The Warriors."

9. Have the epiphany, "I am special, and mom wasn't just saying that because I have the IQ of a Chihuahua. I'm going to develop the best game ever! And people will bow before my awesomeness."

10. Sit as your desk and stare at the black screen of monitor, while realizing that you sold your computer for a case of Keystone Light because you thought you could be as cool as Keith Stone if you drank it.

11. Run for President and win, trust me, you can't lose against those losers running against you.

12. Declare yourself as the Dictator of the Free World and then force your subjects to make your amazing game idea.

Good luck! Although if you follow this plan, you will absolutely not need it.

Fable 2 is indeed an interesting game where your male or female character can become the Heroic figure of Albion or the Destroyer of Albion. This depends on how you react to the quests and can change due to your decisions. The graphics are very good and there are many changes from the first Fable. The colours within the game are wonderful and vibrant, where a wide variety of colours have been used to create both realistic and fantasy settings. Unlike Fable, there are jobs as well as quests to help gain money - so your character can have all the items in Albion - depending if you do jobs and all the quests. Another bonus is that there is a multiplayer option, so if you want friends to join in the game then you can.

Another good area of Fable 2 is that there is a nice amount of weapons and armor, which can be changed by different colours of dye to add to it. As well as having a family and children if you wish to (where a unseen sex scene is shown, which can sound funny sometimes). Furthermore, to be good at the game means for you to be evil (achievement wise). For example, you can have many lovers at the same time if you wish to or to get a few people drunk for fun. As well as an option to turn off the 'safe' button in public areas.

However, there are a few disadvantages, for example; though you can run about the map, it can be limited in some cases - though it isn't always a bad thing. In addition, doing jobs continuously can be tedious at times. The doll catcher achievement is so hard to do - since your character only one doll, so you have to find people online to swap dolls online and collect the all by that. For only 5 points for gamer-score it is not worth the time and effort.

I conclude that Fable 2 is a very good game and is worth playing for many hours upon end. I like the fact that the ending has three choices and it's up to you which 'gift' you want. In addition, art work in this game is beautiful due to the variety of colours and graphics showing both beauty and ruined areas.

Dunno what other people do for fun this days (blow up stuff), but this young adult wanted to get his butt kicked in Modern Warfare 2. So he fires up his PS3, enters the game and....HOLY MOTHER OF SPACE MONKEYS! PSN won't connect. Ok Freakazoid, calm down, must be your ISP screwing with you. Nope, my laptop is connected. Well then let's ask man's best friend about this.

- Mister Google, wth is going on here, dude?

- Dear Ma'am, Sony f*cked up your PS3. Go be an hero.

Oh noes, what to do? So my idiot brain comes up with the great idea to go play MotorStorm in singleplayer. Now, MS was my first PS3 game, but I kinda played it for like...3 hrs max. Thing is, I suck at driving, I don't have a drivers permit, don't own a car, quited driving school after 4 hrs, and almost ran into a fence while at it. So I SUCK AT DRIVING! Big time. Aaaand...aparently I suck at DRIVING GAMES too. Ok, the keyboard helps a bit, but damn! driving with the SIXAXIS (w/e) is like driving the real deal. I bump other cars, splash my car into rocks, and don't let me go into driving motorcycles. After playing for sometime, my mom comes up to me and says I gotta go take anger management (yes, still living with ma mom). So I might just go back to driving school to just finish this damn game.

I wonder if they will let me be a mercenary just 'cuz I'm awesome at MW2.
