Ask Gauss

Sunday! Here we are on yet another Sunday wondering ourselves away about what we didn't finish this weekend. Also comes the time where I am supposed to pick some questions for the week to answer on here. So I should probably get to that without too much more babbling.

Why do people always use the phrase "this game is dying"?

Well it is simple. They probably don't want to play the game and are trying for some reason or another to get people to understand. They talk about how a game is too difficult for them or that they have no friends that play it or some person said the game was bad so they just say it is dying. Or they just want people to play another game, the one that they want to play. WoW has been dying for countless years now. Yes the sub numbers have gone down, but it is far and away the most played MMO on the planet. Forums for games are always filled with this game is dying crap and really you shouldn't really believe any of it, because most of the time it is just people ragging and looking for attention.

Did you see the new Uncharted 4 cinematic?

That I did. Always great to see Nathan Drake in action even if he is getting his ass handed to him a little. Every time though makes me feel like March is just so far away and I really don't like wishing my time away. I am sure everyone who is an Uncharted fan though has felt the same way since the announcement of the 4th game. For those who haven't seen it here it is



Are you taking a Christmas Break from the blog?

I will be, but at the moment not sure of the timeline. Don't worry I won't disappear without a trace.

There you have it this week's questions all out there. Hope everyone got something out of it more than the wasted time to read them all. As always thanks to everyone who sent something in. I know lately I have been extra slow in responses just been outrageously busy so thank you for your patience and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Killing Mobs

You all know it if you play with sound on. If you don't play with sound on then this has nothing to do with you, so you can go read something else or see what you are missing.

First off let me say something about the mobs I hate killing more than anything.

Broken Draenei - The noises these things make when they die and while you are acting them makes me cringe.

Quilboar - Again killing these makes me want to punch kittens.

Harpies - After questing again in the Northern Barrens I can say that I have renewed my hatred for harpies.

These three without a doubt are horrible things to kill and make me regret having the ability to hear for that moment.

Now what about those mobs that are fun to kill?

Gnomes - not only how they die. Doing this jump and spin but the noise they make just makes me want to kill more and more. This would be why when I see a group of Alliance I go right for the gnomes just to hear that "ugwof" or whatever it is.

Gnomes for the longest time have been at the top of this list. There was nothing I ever wanted to kill more than a Gnome. That was until I heard the new sound for a goblin dying. Like really have you heard this? It is absolutely AMAZING. I really could kill these things all day long. Now not to sound like some sort of psychopath or anything, but when they scream for their life with their last ounce of strength it makes me smile. I am actually very jealous of Alliance players getting to kill Goblins all the time in Cataclysm. So you now have something I want!

If you haven't heard the noise you honestly have to go hear it. You won't be disappointed.

Ways That Morons Die

I think the topic explains it all. I wrote this about a week ago just have yet to post it. As always keep telling me what you think and as always if you give me the idea to write about I will give you the props for it. So Blackie this one was all your doing.

Drowning: anyone who dies from drowning is obviously a complete moron. You can go afk come back 20 minutes later and still be alive if you haven't disconnected. This is near the top of the fail meter and if your not related to Bagellord or Vero I am sure you must have missed them in the tree.

Jump off TB for Gold: Are you really that stupid and actually believed me. I just wanted to see how retarded you actually were, obviously since you did it it seems a lot more than my original estimations.

Druid Trying to be Cool: So you dismounted and tried to go flight form before hitting the ground, but you failed at trying to be awesome and proved you are a product of failure. Go level your pally.

In a Fire: You are a god among noobs, since you are actually in a raid with your amazing ability to suck more than Justin Timberlake at a Cirque du Soleil party.

In the Whelp Cave: Ah yes the classic minus 50dkp death. Grats blizzard for bringing this back so a new group of idiots can be found and branded among us all.

Low Level Instance: Apparently you can't solo Scarlet Monastery. Don't worry we already expected you ret pally ass would find something to complain about.

Doom Guard Summon: If only this still happened. Nothing like watching some idiot help summon like they were being a nice guy just to watch them die. Oh how I miss this.

Pulling Aggro: There is this mod called Omen it tells you that your threat is too high you should get it. If you have it there just aren't enough words to make fun of you to the best of my ability.

Yes Whirlwind is Bad: Apparently when a mob spins in circles with a weapon and hits melee it hurts. Go figure. Grats you have proven your a dumbass.

They Can See Through Stealth: After the rogue complains for 10 minutes that he was stealth and you are still pointing and laughing at him maybe he will realize what see through stealth actually means. Fan of knives on a single target more you idiot

Proximity Aggro: Standing next to something bigger and stronger than you which is pissed off is never a good idea. I'd ask you how stupid you are, but I am sure I just found that out for myself. Excuse me while I teabag your corpse.

40 Level 1 Gnomes: You just got owned and will be laughed at for years on youtube. Just be thankful you can pay for a name change.

AFK Beatdown: Apparently you are so clueless you couldn't be attacked or assumed people would realize you were AFK and would let you live. You obviously are more retarded than I first thought. You sir are that special king of stupid.

You Tried to Solo Chillmaw and Failed: LOL. Wow you really are that bad. I have been looking for someone like you for awhile. Just know that you made my day and I can at least thank you for that.

I am sure there are more and as always I welcome your input as long as I can make fun of you if its stupid.
