The third game in the Fable series sets you with the task of overthrowing your own brother, the tyrant ruler of Albion, as the kingdom enters the industrial era.
" In-game content. Communication is very important in Fable III, and what better way to communicate with the world than to bash it in the head with the new hammer, Bloodstone Bludgeon, and shoot it in the face with the brand new rifle, Gusket's Musket? These items will be added to your gift queue in the Sanctuary, and will be available when weapons are unlocked in the storyline."
If anyone wants free weapons they now know the link to get them is obviously the point. Could careless whether or not you care, grammar impaired troll.
How about you all shut up about grammar and all this crap. Can't figure out where you idiot grammar spelling nazi's got onto this site from. as well thanks for the link I knew about this 10 or so minutes ago from amazon.com I went ahead and downloaded em.
@jim_dandy: Unless you don't have a hard drive, that ain't nothing. Plus the content probably has exclusive models, textures, etc.I doubt they are just renamed existing weapon models. @Raymayne said:

Other than the space, what he said is entirely valid. Both are actually common uses of that particular saying, so taken in the vernacular, totally correct.
Free is free, why people are complaining is beyond me. If you don't want it, just move along. Thanks OP, just downloaded. I might not get Fable III for a little while, but 195MB isn't bad at all.

Because it's common doesn't mean it's correct. "Could care less" is wrong.
@MordeaniisChaos: It's not about hard drive space. Just wondering why what I thought was two weapons was such a large filesize, but I guess in comparison to the rest of the game it's not that much.
" Thanks OP .... this might change my stance on not playing Fable 3 to actually give it a chance ..... "
if you buy fable 3 it comes with even more DLC free then what was offered here in the box. the LCE offers loads of dlc and then there are all the dlc preorder stuff.
@jadeskye: Don't be surprised, then, to learn that the "grammatical content" in your JPEG is equally unsatisfactory. "Nazi" is a proper noun and should therefore be capitalized.
"Could careless whether or not you care, grammar impaired troll. "
I was about to defend you until I read that. It's COULDN'T care less you dumb fuck. "
Actually, it's both ways. Could careless would mean that I actually could care less than I already do care. Think with logic next time, fuck man you're seriously a cunt hair away from a redneck. You see I actually do care a tiny bit because he took the time to post it.

But what you said, "could careless [sic]",said nothing at all, besides the fact that you care, which contradicts the context completely. It was obvious you meant "couldn't care less" as you've reached the absolute bottom of caring. Then you double back and say you "care a tiny bit" because he posted, which again, was not implied in the least in your original comment. The comment certainly could work both ways, but it's hardly of importance saying you "could care less" because that's such a broad spectrum of your feelings on the matter, in contrast to the opposite. I do find it hilarious though, that the entire time, you were using "careless" v.s. the correct grammar "care less", and still critiquing someone else. So yes, you are the one with egg on your face. "
Not really, sorry but take your grammar somewhere else. Princeton says careless is fine so it's good enough for me. I guess you think you know more than Princeton, which you don't. The egg that is on my face has been passed to you... instead of trying to act cool just download the damn DLC or gtfo.

I was going to drop this, but you continue to insist I'm the idiot and I'm drawn in to the smell of bullshit. This is the definition of "careless" according to Princeton, so apparently we're both in accordance. Also, Merriam-Webster seems to think I'm correct with "care" being a verb and even comes close to damn quoting you with "I couldn't care less what happens", fixing your grammatical mistake. To hopefully put an end to this, here is a whole list or results from google after entering the statement in the context in which you assure me it works and I'm greeted by the way I'm telling you it's correct instead.
Now, if you'll kindly drop this damn conversation and stop blowing shit out your ass I will in fact abandon this thread with smug satisfaction. If you choose to insist, please link me in a proper direction to show me how I'm wrong.
@Rockdalf: I will point you in no such direction. You're not right, but you're not wrong either. "I couldn't care less" as you say it is correct and that was never in debate. "I could careless" is not incorrect either so I am not wrong so let's just drop it because this is the internet and we really shouldn't care this much about who the fuck types it which fucking way.

hmm...It would seem to me you and a few other people including the TC are being stupid...your not actually right your just bitching to bitch...one would respect you more if you would just shut up and drop it so he can shut up and drop it. your both bitching high density stars feeding off each others BS.
""I could careless" is not incorrect either so I am not wrong..."
I = subject could = verb careless = adjective
An adjective can come after some verbs, such as: be, become, feel, get, look, seem, smell, sound
Even when an adjective comes after the verb and not before a noun, it always refers to and qualifies the subject of the sentence, not the verb.
"I could careless" is not grammatically correct.
"
Take your grammar lessons somewhere else and quit spamming this thread with off-topic posts. "
Is that your way of saying you're wrong? Because the only reason I persisted was your constant bullshitting and insistence that you were in the right. "
Grammatically speaking there are better options but we must remember that "when the legend becomes fact, print the legend". The way I worded it has become sort of an accepted vernacular of the phrase. So the argument of grammar has become a moot point...

I agree, I am pretty sure the same dbag corrected me before because I said I could careless which is exactly a valid use of the term.

The only reason "I could careless" could ever be considered acceptable is because of people on the Internet who don't know grammar.
You could be careless. Careless is an adjective here modifying the subject, you. Or, You could not care less. Care is a verb in this case, and less is the adverb modifying the verb care.
If the above example doesn't already make it clear: "careless" is only ever an adjective. If you wanted it to be an adverb, you'd need to add an "-ly" to make it carelessly. At that point, you'd be completely off the defintion of "care less," though. You could care less carelessly, I suppose.
Also, while forum grammar is unimportant, grammar in the wikis is not. I just choose to maintain my standards throughout the Internet, and I will take the time to correct people who can't correctly write or speak the English language (using shorthand/slang is one thing, but actually stating blatantly incorrect facts provokes me).
"I could care less" is correct if it's interpreted as sarcasm. Like "I could give a shit". Same deal. Seeing as sarcasm is the lingua franca around here, I'm surprised you have so much trouble with the concept.
Oh JESUS CHRIST. Most of you have no idea how to actually write a coherent, well-formatted essay, and yet you still feel the need to post on an internet-based forum to criticise someone for the grammatical adeptness of their ENTIRELY colloquial and informal post.
Nobody cares that he said "could care less" in place of "couldn't care less", just like nobody cares that the line in the grocery store is labeled "ten items or less", rather than "ten items or fewer"; his post was entirely readable, and his minor grammatical mistake did nothing to hinder your ability to comprehend what it was he was trying to get across. So get the fuck over yourself: just because you take the time to meticulously proof-read every one of your posts (which you are entirely free to do) does not mean that you are, in turn, obliged to do so for everyone else.
In the end, Stephen Fry puts it far better than I ever could, and his mastery of the language far surpasses anyone who passes themselves off as a master of language on these boards:
@jukezypoo: I appreciate the better part of Mr. Fry's point, but the animation that accompanied it made me instinctively wish to argue with him through you as a proxy. In a nutshell, yes, this is a stupid argument and pointing fingers and laughing wasn't stylish even when Nelson did it to Bart in the 90s, but really, it's important not to take the argument too far and attempting to justify writing so poor that it actually requires extra effort to read it. There are some cases of that in this thread too, I believe. In such cases, it is not inappropriate to bring attention to the error, if one thinks it will make any difference, but manners are, as always, helpful in persuading one to accept that he is wrong.
I won't dispute that. My (admittedly vitriolic) response was more aimed at those who feel the need to constantly correct such small, and truly insignificant errors as mistaking "could care less" for "couldn't care less", as if they cause us any difficulty when we attempt to interpret and understand the person's post.
I'm not condoning those who make a butchery of a the English language (e.g. confusing the placement of nouns and verbs, producing unintelligible garbage that forms no coherent string of thought, et cetera); I'm merely taking issue with the ridiculous and overblown sense of mastery of it that compels some to constantly quote people, merely so that they can insert commas, apostrophes, and quotation marks, as if they are in some way doing the community (or the individual) a service.
Oh, and that animation was just something added after the fact by the Youtube user who posted the clip; it was merely the easiest version of the clip to find (although I'm not quite sure why it compelled you to argue his point any more than the clip would have without the animation).
