Sure, it's tough to break into video games, but what about actually being a digital, non-breathing, non-playable character part of a virtual world? Unless you're a celebrity, such as Kristen Bell, or an athlete like, uh ... Slash, average humans like us have little or no chance to ever be "Annoying Quest Giver #72" or "Dude I Jacked for Bonus Gold #19." However, there's still hope, thanks to Lionhead Studios and the Child's Play Charity.
At the Child's Play's Fundraiser Dinner Auction, Lionhead Studios will auction off, amongst other things, naming rights for five NPCs in their upcoming title, Fable 2. You could be a shopkeeper, farmer, "important" villager, monk, or quest giver, depending on if you can part with the necessary coinage (think of the children!). And while Joystiq writers can't accept bribes, if you wanted to use your winning bid to name a character in Fable 2 "Dan Dormer," I, errr, we wouldn't mind in the slightest. Now, would you kindly make that happen?

No price is too high to pay for a chance to immortalize the name "Turd Ferguson" into a videogame.

*ponders the chances of getting some villagers called "Unfulfilled Hype", "Gaseous Motormouth" and "Hasn't Done Anything Worthwhile Since Bullfrog"*

Don't forget about "seriously, enough about the fucking dog, already!"

Meh...I liked Fable TLC...it was fun for what it was. It wasn't what was promised but it was still pretty fun to me...I'm also the biggest fanboy of 'The Movies' so...
