Tracey John from MTV Multiplayer writes:

"For those of you who've played Fable II, you know the game is about the choices you make. For the most part, you're in control of how you want your player to end up - good or evil.

But there is one aspect beyond players' control… what happens when you unintentionally push the B button near loved ones.

Let me explain: In Fable II, players can assign different magic abilities to the B button. Many players, myself included, went with a power called "Inferno," a spell that allows the player-character to shoot fire from his/her hands.

When in the towns, you can interact with people and perform expressions to amuse them, even drawing large crowds to you. But in doing so, it's also easy to accidentally hit the B button when navigating the menus. And whatever spell you've assigned to that B button - well, you can guess what happens.

If you've had this problem too, you're not alone. There's a Facebook support group called the "Association of Accidental Arsonists." The description reads, "A support group for Fable II players who've set spouses, houses and mouses ablaze in err." Yesterday I found out who started this group."

Lionhead Studios has updated its blog site with news that the Fable II announcement that was promised this week, has been pushed back until Monday 24th November.

I know what you're thinking, but no, I'm afraid this is not the BIG news that got me (and most of you) so excited last week. The big bods over in Redmond decided that, this week wasn't the time to tell you what that announcement is we have ready here in Guildford. However, there is some good news. To celebrate the launch of the New Xbox Experience, we've created an all-new Fable II theme for your dashboard. Go show your Fable pride!
