Ask Gauss

Sunday! Yes it is that time of the week once again. Also if you were not aware it is the last weekend of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Had to point that out because if I don't all of you Southern Hemisphere love to point it out to me. Enough of the blabbing though let's get on with why all of you are here today for and that is the questions.

So with the new Heroes Announcement do you think that we will see another Starcraft Hero again?

I think so and I hope it is Fenix just like everyone else does. Also hope at some point we get Swann and Karax at some point as well. Really though with the other hero I kind of hope to see a Starcraft themed map as well. Think it would add something to the game that is missing.

Opinions on Whispers of the Old Gods?

I am liking the card abilities. I think it adds some more strategy to the game where I think the last 2 expansions seemed to add luck through things being random. This can be fun to watch, but then can be extremely frustrating to play. Also will be interesting to see the card art for N'zoth and Y'Shaarj since we have never seen what they look like in Warcraft to begin with.

Really Bottlecaps?

Yes really.

There they are the questions for the week. Hope you all got something out of it in one way or another. Enjoy your last weekend of Winter/Summer wherever you are.

Shut Up And Take My...

It is Wednesday the middle of the week and we are finding ourselves here finding out what the list is going to be about this week. I figured after spending some money that there are quite different forms of currency throughout the gaming universe. So why not rank my favourites?

5. Gil - Final Fantasy Series

We are about to see the 15th game and every single one of them no matter the world has stuck to this form of currency. Also there is the whole thing throughout the games of the poking fun of "gold" as a form of currency which is always amusing.

4. Eridium - Borderlands 2

So it was an element which spread around after the events of the first game. Now people are just going about their lives spending it.

3. Studs - Lego Series

So who would have thought these games would be as popular as they are. Not only that they have remained consistent through the games, which is always impressive

2. Souls - Souls Games

So at first thought this is rather creepy, but then it makes you understand why death is so important in the series of games. 

1. Bottlecaps - Fallout Series

People hanging on to their 1950s society with something so simple is pretty unique. Not to mention there was a guy who sent over 30,000 bottlecaps to Bethesda to pre purchase the game. Not only did they give it to him, but then they also have an awesome story to tell.

There you have it my favourite forms of currency throughout the gaming universe. What are yours? What do you think I should have included as always let me know!

What's With The Weird Look?

Well here we are middle of the week and thinking about the list I will be doing. Truthfully though this list has been made for awhile in the anticipation of the new Fallout game. Now obviously last week was taken by the new Starcraft game Legacy of the Void, but that won't stop me from making this week's list of my favourite Fallout moments before the forth game.

5. Coming Out of Vault 101 - Fallout 3

This got you a little bit of everything. A bunch of worldly first which was eventually capped by seeing the sun rise for the first time.

4. Meeting the Master - Fallout

So not only is this "thing" creepy in appearance but it talks in multiple voices as if he is a next level Cho'gall. One of my favourite villains of all time.

3. Charon's Contract - Fallout 3

So you get this ghoul out of a bad deal and watch him shoot his previous employer. Something which wasn't only awesome, but slightly terrifying

2. Guardian of Forever - Fallout 2

So this is a special area you can find when going through a weird rock formation, but the most interesting things are what is inside. You are transported back in time to vault 13 the starting point in the originally game and are part of the series of events which started the series.

1. Blowing Up Megaton - Fallout 3

This was my number one before I even put some thought into this list because there is nothing like sitting back and watching a mushroom cloud in awe. You just don't do that very often do you?

There you have it my favourite Fallout moments before the 4th game. What are your favourite moments? As always let me know one way or another.

The Right Thing - What Is It?

Wednesday! Yes we all know what that means. It means it is time for a list! Now what is the list going to be about this week? Well I know I have done my favourite quotes from video games before, but now I am going to go with what I would call iconic quotes from video games. My rules for this is that the quote itself must be tied to the game and it's narrative. So here are my choices

5. War. War never changes - Fallout Series

They remind of this fact int every game without fail. It really does bring home the entire identity of the game, which is why it makes this list.

4. Would you kindly - Bioshock

Now at first you don't even realize this is part of the plot of the game, that is until you do and it all comes crashing down. I am still wow'd at how well this line is embedded into the game.

3. Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? - Far Cry 3

Isn't it interesting in an open world game in which you are doing a series of tasks which seem repetitive, but not at the same time the villain hits this right on. Not only because the voice acting performance is flawless it just hits home the game as a whole.

2. But our Princess is in another castle - Super Mario Bros.

It is what keeps you going. Time and time again you just cant seem to go to the right castle with all of those Bowser impostors

1. It is dangerous to go alone take this - The Legend of the Zelda

The old man. At times he is frustrating, but these words really are the entire point of the game. They are in my mind the reason the series has been so successful.

There you have it. Do you think you have others that may be tied to the plot of the game? As always you know what to do!

How Imaginative

So there comes a time when all of us have our moments when we just have to release our anger and throw out insults. It happens all the time, sometimes we mean it sometimes we want to hurt people and sometimes we can't even say them without laughing. This only holds true in the games we play. Sometimes the characters do the same and spit out insults we will remember forever, and this is what this week's list is all about. My favourite insults from gaming.

5. "Chicken-wuss" - Seifer Final Fantasy VII

This insult may seem tame, but the best part of it was Zell's overreaction and how he kept calling me it again and again. I swear I cannot play this part without laughing like crazy.

4. "You're an inspiration for birth-control" - Duke Nukem 3D

Now Duke has always had the epic lines even if his games have been lackluster at times. This one is just one of my favourites of his.

3. "You look jet lagged and by that I mean you look like shit" - Battlefield 3

When I first heard this I am pretty sure I kept saying it over and over for about a week.

2. "Looks like the Good Lord got your ass and your face mixed up" - Red Dead redemption, John Marston

Pretty sure when this happened I spit out my drink and wanted to high five the screen.

1. "No, let me clarify  if you don't watch it, I'll be wearing your ass for a shoe" - Fallout, Vault Dweller

So many great insults from this game I could have made a best Fallout insults list. I am sure anyone who has had the pleasure would agree without question.

There you have it. I know there are a bunch more I could have added to the list and surprisingly this was a much harder list to narrow down then you would think. Enjoy the rest of your day, who knows maybe you will even hear one of these directed towards you!
