Sunday! Yes here we are at the end of the weekend and getting closer and closer to Christmas with each passing day. I am still not ready but hoping to be ready eventually. Before I get on with the shopping I need to finish up though I need to answer some questions for the week so here we go.

Did you or do you plan on buying any Goblins vs Gnomes packs?

I haven't as of yet. As with every free to play game if I enjoy the game and will be playing it I spend on that game what I would spend if the game was being sold. So in this case I will spend $40-50 on card packs and then be done with it. All of my saved up gold will be used for arena runs and then that will be it. I feel it is important to actually be one of the "spenders" since if I am enjoying a game like Hearthstone so much I feel like I should give back. Also the cards themselves will be a Christmas gift to myself.

Do you think they are killing off too many major characters in WoD?

Not really. You have to remember they are trying to build a story and really most of the "killed" characters are already dead in our timeline they just want to make it less confusing for the most part and letting those who weren't part of their deaths in the first place to have a chance to see the epicness with it. The one I am surprised to be killed off so fast though is Ner'zhul. Garrosh you had to think something was coming but Ner'zhul has been in on all the artwork from the very start

Are you taking a holiday break?

I am taking one, but no worries I will say when so people don't think I am dead.

There they are. Questions all done for the week. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and your continued preparation for Christmas

You Fail At Knowing About Goblins vs Gnomes If...

Fail Day! Yes, I know it is getting close to Christmas and I really should be doing Christmasy themed things, but how could I resist doing this. Goblins vs Gnomes is upon us and what better way to celebrate then give it its very own Fail Day?

Sunday! Yes believe it or not it is Sunday and your weekend is coming to a close. Also means you have 1 less weekend to get all that Christmas Shopping done you have been putting off. Don't worry no pressure. While you are still putting it all off here are the questions I picked for this week.

Goblins vs Gnomes is coming Tuesday. Excited?

Actually very much so. I think this big of a burst of cards is going to make playing on ladder a completely new experience. Will make me actually want to play ladder besides just switching to Arena when I hit rank 20. Also a lot of the cards seem completely insane, and made to play against certain decks currently out there. Also there are cards to enhance those certain decks which makes it even more nuts. So ya I can't wait.

So how is Iron from Ice?

Well for those who are not up to speed this is Telltale's new episodic game based on A Song of Ice and Fire, and the television show Game of Thrones. So far I am liking it. Plays very similar to the Walking Dead game, which is to be expected since it was created to be so. I know I am going to be driving myself crazy finishing it and then waiting for the next episode each time, but it does give you something to look forward to.

Can you stop with all the Christmas references it can be offensive?

I could but I won't.

There they are the questions for the week. Thanks to everyone who sent something in and now you can get back to your regular scheduled weekend.
