Greatfather Winter

Happy Monday all. If you were not sure Winter Veil starts on the 16th so what better time to share my favourite Warcraft themed Winter Veil song. So as always a thanks to Cranius for his wonderful contribution.

 

Still can't help but sing along eh?

You Fail At Being A Gamer During The Christmas Season If...

So it is December and I am now allowing myself to think about Christmas. I tend to block out all things Christmas till the 1st and not because I am Scrooge or anything like that I just think everything has its time. So Now why not do a Fail Day with a little bit of Christmas swing to it.

You Fail At Being A Gamer During The Christmas Season If...

• You have a list of games a kid wants that must mean what all gamers want
• You are leaning towards getting an xbox one
• You are taking the hispster looking guys advice on game choices
• You don't realize you will have to play some Wii Sports with the family
• You don't think you will enjoy your Wii Sports time
• You don't understand the "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS" card in Cards Against Humanity
• You don't have extra controllers which can be "worked in" by your younger family members
• You don't hide any games that have very important save files in them
• You don't buy Christmas themed skins
• You hate Christmas themed World events in games
• You don't save Metzen the Reindeer
• You don't play the Greatfather Winter Song repeatably

And Finally

• You think there is no time to game

There you have it this week's edition of Fail. Hope you all enjoyed it and are well on your way with your Christmas stuff. Enjoy!

Greatfather Winter

It is Monday and it is that time of year. The feast of Winter Veil doesn't officially start till Thursday, but to me it has already started. Many of you know I am a big fan of Cranius and his song Greatfather Winter has become a Christmas Classic for me just as was intention when he wrote it. So every year I get excited and every Christmas playlist I have includes this song. Of course their also is a great video to go along with it, but here it is Greatfather Winter. I will also include the lyrics so you can feel free to sing along.

Listen children young and old
Gather 'round and you'll be told
It's tradition every year
Winter Veil is drawing near
Listen up today's the day
Father Winter's on his way
Bringing with him treats and toys
Giving them to girls and boys

Greatfather Winter won't you bring
Something for my stocking
Something shiny something bright
Some goggles I can use at night
Greatfather Winter don't be late
For that day we just can't wait
So bring us lots of treats and toys
And fill our Winter Veil with joy

See the presents at the tree
A blunderbuss for you and me
Don't you cry and don't you pout
Don't you shoot your eyeballs out
Sip the eggnog try some cake
Find the Greench for goodness sake
Fly a reindeer 'cross the sky
Don't fall off or you might die

Greatfather Winter won't you bring
A Turbo-Charged Flying Machine
Some rocket boots that make me fly
And I just want a motorbike
Greatfather Winter won't you please
We're begging you down on our knees
So bring explosives and a gun
And then we'll surely have some fun

So grab your girlfriend just like so
And kiss her at the mistletoe
If you want some epic loot
Pick her up a winter suit
Buy a pint of Winter Ale
Drink too much and you will fail
Turn yourself into a Gnome
Send a stolen reindeer home

Greatfather Winter won't you bring
A Clockwork Rocket Bot for me
Something violent, something loud
Something to disperse a crowd
Greatfather Winter can't you see
We're excited as can be
So bring us lots of treats and toys
And fill our Winter Veil with joy

Now that you are in the spirit. Good luck this reset!
