You Fail At In Game Christmas Themes If...


So here we are the second to last Fail Day before Christmas. What does that mean? Well that means a lot of games are putting up their in game Christmas decoration this week. So what better way to celebrate this other than explaining how everyone fails at it.

You Fail At In Game Christmas Themes If...

  • There are no snowballs involved
  • The game doesn't have awkwardly placed Christmas Lights every where
  • There is not a way to wear a Santa hat
  • There are not pointless special gifts for everyone
  • You don't have holiday themed skins
  • There are no reindeer in some form or another
  • There is no snow anywhere
  • No one anywhere makes a "Do you want to build a Snowman?" joke
  • There are still no snowballs
  • The event is lazy and doesn't have a special name.
  • There is no Santa Claus equivalent person around
  • There is no reference to "The Grinch" in anyway shape or form

And Finally

  • You don't participate

There you have it this week's edition of Fail. Hope you all enjoyed it and will try to enjoy all the in game stuff the next couple of weeks.

WoW Olympic Sports

So the Vancouver Winter Olympics started yesterday and being Canadian as most of you know I am this is a pretty big deal for them to be at home. Everyone is talking about it even back here in Toronto. Now this really has nothing to do with WoW or at least not yet. I expect Blizzard to put something in like they did for the last Summer Olympics, but we will see. Getting in the Olympic mood I decided that I would think of some sports for a WoW Olympics.

This isn't going to be some ordinary list I am going to directly compare things in wow to the sport they would replace.

Ski Jumping: Everyone knows this sport is almost suicidal. So in WoW people will run out of the path in the Dalaran sewers and jump. Whoever goes the furthest wins, and living is a bonus.

Bobsled: The most important thing is having a track and we have the prefect one in Grizzly Hills at the lumber yard. I know you all have wanted to go on this ride for awhile.

Speed Skating: So what makes someone run faster? How about being chased from an angry mob. So for Horde the object will be to run one lap around Ironforge and see who can do it the quickest without dying. For Alliance they will have to do their lap in Undercity. Yes this is not on Ice, but give me a break.

Biathlon: Hunters only. Simple we place naked level ones of the opposite factions along a track and you must shoot them before moving on. To make it more exciting can even do it in towns or cities!

Figure Skating: So I was thinking how I could compare someone in WoW I could compare to figure skating when it hit me. Bubble Hearthing! Ah yes we will judge by presentation and technique. Of could if they are ret there will be plenty of crying while they are being judged.

That's all I have for now any others I will be sure to add. I hope you all enjoy the Olympics as for those non-Canadians I hope you enjoy the showcase of this country I live in. Bring on the hockey! Go CANADA GO!

The Moments of the Year to Remember

So this week I plan on reviewing things that have happened throughout the year. Mostly because its the end of the year and that is what people do. They reflect on what has happened. So today going to refresh people or tell them for the first time about some great events from the past year.

The Blog Started: Well when I started this I never thought people would become as attached to it as they have. When I get emails or tells in game waiting for the next post it is really mind boggling. Also I love the reactions out of people bad or good. I have had people who want to kill me, insult beyond compare, or people who said they couldn't stop laughing. I will keep this going as long as people find it entertaining.

"You look down to dive in water": I will never forget the day I was running people through SSC and this idiot asked for a summon because he didn't know how to dive in water. "you look down to dive in water" is really a saying which has become immortalised. One small step for a noob one giant leap for noobkind.

For The Hordes: So this has been going on for about 5 months. Fri-Sun every weekend and sometimes a bonus one here or there. The quest to get every horde player no matter the level their black war bear. Who can forget the Ultimates with 100+ hordies or the epic run of a level 1. These have basically become a tradition on Llane something I also hope to keep going as long as people will keep coming.

Ulduar Patch Day: Killing FL and being unable to loot, being stuck in the instance and unable to log on, everything in my interface basically broken. In my opinion the worst patch day in the history of WoW and that includes the Sunwell patch. At least the trailer was good...

Gnome King Kite: Whoever thought we could pull this off? Even though the little bastard took frequent breaks to shoot me in the face with his goblin dragon gun he made it to Undercity. He also got owned when he was there by everything including the Dark Lady herself. Tyrande remember we are coming for you.

100,000 Honorable kills: This isn't a big deal achievement, but for me there is a story behind it. When I hit High Warlord I had just over 90,000. Most of those kills were done in WSG through the massive amount of games I had played. This basically made me hate Battlegrounds with a passion for the longest time. Today I still do them minimally just to have a good time with guildies. So it took me over 3 years to get the last 10,000. More than double the time it took me to get the first 90,000. It is now done and I am part of the group of insane people with way too many kills.

RNG and Gaussie Made Peace: The random number generator and myself after 5 years of playing this game have finally made peace. This past year I have gotten weapons, rare mounts, and quest drops with minimal cursing. Of course that doesn't mean I understand him yet. As there as still things the RNG refuses to release into my grasp. Let's hope next year the relationship stays the same or gets better.

Church of Gauss Formed: Yes I have a church. I honestly don't know why exactly but it has been created. So know I have had an Army, Fan Club, Emporium, and now a Church. I wonder and I am scared at what is to come next.

Met Bagellord: I never thought I could met someone in this game that could be as special as Bagellord. All the things he did amazed me, died in a fire, jumped off a boat and died from fatigue, rezed before he hit the ground only to die again. These are just a couple of the countless things our dear friend has done. He has given me a lifetime of material and I guess I should thank him for that. So thank you Bagellord.

WoW.com: Well I may be getting ahead of myself, but this could be out as early as tomorrow. If not it won't be till the new year because of their end of year commitments. This is all thanks to you all and your support. So I thank you all for that.
