You Fail At Love Is In The Air If...

Fail Day! Oh it is that time again, and that is probably why you are here. I always find it entertaining that Fail Day is the most popular post of the week and its sole purpose is to poke fun at others. Sure sometimes I am poking fun at things I do, but really it is a day to sit back and realize all the dumb things you or others may do. This week I realized that I have never actually done a Fail Day about Love is in the Air so today I decided to fix this. So here goes.

You Fail At Love Is In The Air If...

• You are not a Love Fool
• You forget to have your Lovely Charm Collectors Kit on you
• You don't remember the pain and suffering of the heart candies when they were first introduced
• You have trouble spraying random people with cologne
• The concept of pink good green bad or green good and pink bad is extremely difficult for you
• You still have no idea where SFK is
• You don't display your Peddlefeet during holiday
• You think the love fool has unlimited uses
• You think wearing the Vile Fumigator's Mask will help you get a date
• You carry around "the Heartbreaker" to use as proof you don't live in your mother's basement
• You think carefully who you give your chocolate to everyday, be cause some of them may suffer from diabetes
• You actually think it is likely you will get a Big Love Rocket
• The new Love Bird will be your best looking mount

and finally

• When you put down your picnic basket people make it a point to walk away

There you have it this week's edition of Fail. Hope you all enjoyed it!

Ask Gauss

Here we are at the tail end of the weekend, which means it is Sunday and, of course, it is time for Ask Gauss. The post of the week where I answer the questions put forth to me throughout the week. With that in mind if you are unsure about how to send in questions it is pretty simple. There is a link on the top right of the page or you can send an email directly to gaussafication@gmail.com. Yes I know it is pretty simple, so no excuses to screw it up. So with all that out of the way let's get to the questions.

I heard there was a new Love Is In The Air Mount this year,  did they just redesign the Love Rocket?

You heard correct, but it is not a redone love rocket. The impossible to actually get Love Rocket is still in the game as it always has been. I am not sure if they finally decided to actually increase the drop rate so it is actually feasible without an amazing amount of luck. The new mount though is call The Swift Love Bird and is able to be purchased for 270 love tokens from the standard holiday vendor. With this mount actually being able to be purchased makes me think they will leave the Love Rocket at the same drop rate. Oh and in case you were curious the bird looks as such.

I saw you did a couple posts about Final Fantasy, I have never played one and always heard the games themselves were difficult and frustrating. Is this true?

As a player who has Final Fantasy ever since day 1 I can tell you that the games themselves are more difficult then the average game. The base story to them in the modern era of the games isn't extremely difficult but I would say above average. The side quests and all the extra challenges even in the newer games are going to be some of the toughest things you will come across in the RPG genre. My thoughts have always been if a games is beaten on your first try you aren't going to think you accomplished anything when you complete it. Final Fantasy at least gives you that satisfaction.

Why do you always rag on Pallys even when they get an exploit?

Why not? That would be like telling me not to breathe.

That is it for this week. Hope you all at least got something out of it. Good luck on getting the Love Rocket!

Happy Valentines Day

So today is Valentines Day. The day we empty our pockets to make that special someone feel extra special. Or in WoW context waste all your gold for a completely unknown purpose. I could go on an write about how I hate this holiday and how it is completely commercial and basically serves no purpose besides to line peoples pockets. This would be the natural Gauss thing to do along with some how relating it to how ret pallys failing, Bagellord being horrible and of course how Wally is a tool. I would do that people would laugh, complain I went to far, and of course some would say not far enough. I would do this and everyone would be happy for the most part. I am not going to this though. Even with all of its faults this holiday is what it is. That person whoever they are really deserves that day so I am going to let them have it, even if it costs me. So I will give you something you can all sing to that special someone along with a pretty epic screenshot.

You're the one I love to be with
The one who feels so right
You're the one I think of when I wake
And dream of every night
You're the one who leaves me breathless
The one who makes me proud
You're the one who can both drive me mad
Or make me laugh out loud
You're the one who makes my heart beat fast
And when its said and done
There is no ifs or buts or maybes
Because baby you're the one.

Happy Valentines Day to my special someone and to everyone else, may it be everything you expect and more.

Next Friday's reader post will have to do with excuses you have heard for leaving a guild. I know there are some great ones so you have until Thursday night to get them in. I look forward to hearing them.
