Fable II Fan Refuses to Shave Beard Until Game Comes Out

by Keane Ng on August 25, 2008 at 9:34 am

Armblast, a user over at the Lionhead Community forums, really wants Fable II. The waiting, though, is apparently unbearable. How to cope? How about going on strike – not from work, but from general facial hygiene. For months now Armblast has been refusing to shave in anticipation of Fable II, declaring in a thread:

I don’t care if you care…this is to help me cope w/ waiting (I figure 1 annoyance will take my mind off of another)

Pictured above is his most recent picture, from last week. He’s been doing it since March and he will be doing it (assuming he doesn’t quit) until October.

Hit the jump for more pics of this guy’s neckbeard.

    I think he will not quit even when Fable II comes out…he seems proud. xD

    I bet he is also refusing to bathe because of Fable II.

    When I was a kid I worked at a Toyota Dealership, there was this guy who used to stop by and sell hub caps to the used car manager if he needed them.
    we called him the “hub cap king”. He never bathed, and we had to open all the windows in the used car building to keep from getting knocked out from the stench, he also sported a beard and glasses exactly like this guys. looking at him brings me back to those horror-filled times from my youth.

    Heck, I grow my beard out for no apparent reason. My dad has a beard as does my young upwardly mobile brother. Chin pubes are nothing to be ashamed of but this guys mustache might be.
