Ask Gauss

Sunday! Yes here we are with are weekend's coming to an end. Seems like it just started didn't it? Sunday besides being the end of the weekend though is a time when I get to answer some questions sent throughout the week. So without making you wait any longer here we go.

Is it just me or do you find yourself playing a lot of older games during the summer?

I always end up playing a bunch of older games during the summer. Normally replay a few Final Fantasy games or some other rpgs just to pass the time. Not because there isn't anything good that is new coming out, but just because it is a more relaxed environment playing something old if you have to run off and do something in the summer. When you are playing something new you hate being interrupted and that is a hard thing to have in the summer 

Why do people insist on picking low tier Heroes in Hero League?

I think people pick who they like. Problem is some heroes are suited for a very team dependent and they end up being bad picks. The bigger problem I have is when people pick heroes for rolls they shouldn't. grabbing a 2nd or 3rd support when it isn't needed, double specialists, 2 or 3 warriors. This is just asking the game to be a horrible experience not just for your team because I don't know about all of you but I hate being on the winning end of a one sided game. Just feels like a waste of time.

Do you still hate pallys?

That is like asking if I still breathe

There they are the answers to the questions for the week. Hope you all got something out of it. Enjoy the weather and the rest of your weekend

Forget Solar Power

Some of you may have seen the new Scarlet Monastery preview and if you haven't I suggest you take a look. Although it is shorter than the original, and may be disappointing to some because of this. The updates look like they are all for the better, and this is just the beginning of the beta. I would tell you what it feels like to play it directly, but Blizzard has this thing about not giving me beta access to anything. Wait that's not true I had access to classic WoW beta. It is like they have been punishing me for that.

Anyways, I saw this on Daily Blink and I thought not only was it priceless, but it contains the obvious humour which I know all of you can appreciate.

Yes, torturing Paladins is the greatest power source in history

Retribution Pally Issues

So if you some reason decided to play a paladin, and then also decided to spec ret. You may be in for a little surprise. This surprise being that you can actually do some dps. Now I am here to inform you that this is a bug and you will be returned to your lowly status of DPS joke after a bug fix goes out. At least you could enjoy your time of being able to do this


Oh wait you cannot really enjoy your OPness because a blue poster has said

We're aware of this issue and looking into it right now. It's likely we won't have further updates for you until we're back in the office in the morning PST.

Just as a reminder from the Terms of Use:
C. Rules Related to Game Play.
(i) Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players.

 

So basically if you are a Ret Pally(I really have a hard time typing that without breaking out into laughing fits) you cannot do anything of consequence until this is fixed because the bug will allow you to basically 3 man heroic content. That is you could do something and just get banned and have it taken away.

You Fail At Being A Pally If...

So for a long time people have requested me to do Fail Days on specific classes and I have said to them over and over again that this wasn't the time. Now with this being the end of the expansion though it is a great time to do it since people are deciding if they should reroll and, of course, they want to see what is up with their class. So now will be the time to sit back and laugh at all the other classes and say "omfg that is so me". When deciding which class to start with I thought I would go with the most fail class of the them all. So shall we?

You Fail At Being A Pally If...

• You think it requires skill
• You have a "J" stuck to your forehead
• You constantly breaking CC with your consecrate
• You don't play with a helmet
• You are a blood elf male
• Your ability to play the game is not hindered by your keyboard turned upside down
• You spam flash heal
• You don't have Pally Power
• You named your toon after your ability to bubble hearth
• You have trouble holding aggro
• You were unaware of the fact that you have forms of CC
• You don't write 20 page forum posts on a daily basis complaining how pallies need to be buffed
• You think mass dispel is the most overpowered thing because you can't bubble and hearth
• You think when you have to press more than 2 buttons that Blizzard had to have made a mistake
• You have ever died by falling

and finally

• You think it is time to change classes because Blizzard has stated they no longer want your class to be able to faceroll

That is it for this week hope you enjoyed it. Remember it will only be a matter before I do your class and let you have it. Reset is upon us enjoy!

One Special Pally

Ok so I lot of people randomly whisper me and want to talk about pretty much anything wow related or not. Now sometimes I am able to respond and sometimes I am busy with other things. Now if I am busy sometimes I am able to say something and sometimes I don't get the chance, and people just try again later. Now this seems like the normal reaction, as you would expect as do I or any other normal person would. Now, of course, some people go berserk on you when you don't respond, but you cannot help that. This one ret pally though is very special. As I will explain.

So he talks to me randomly and, of course, I cannot always respond so what does this guy do? Well he goes on the conversation as if I am talking to him. He will answer his own questions, comment on the fact that he understands why it takes time for me to respond. Sometimes I am even in the midst of typing something to him when he has already responded to himself and asked a new question, to which 30seconds later he responds to. I can basically say nothing for 30 minutes and he will go about his merry way and still be talking about anything and everything. The question is does he realize that he is doing it or not? Now I have never tried to mention that I haven't said a word to him and yet if I did would he just ignore it and go on about what he was talking about anyway? It is like being in the middle of a play when a soliloquy is going on. He just keeps going and everyone else is doing their own thing and he seems to have no clue what is going on. Except what is going on in his little bubble. How fititng that he is a pally...

Always a Failure To Me

So this will be the Forth song I have come up with. Of course I didn't write the original. In this case it is Billy Joel's "She's Always a Woman to Me". I think this is my best one so far, but you all can judge. If you are interested by all means click the "song" label at the bottom of the list. If people are interested in recording it and/or making a video for it let me know. I know someone is already working on one for "Free Loot Tuesday" so by all means just let me know. So here it goes enjoy.

Always a Failure To Me

He can kill with his hair
He can dance with his thighs
He can ruin your faith with his casual DI
And he only reveals the spec he wants you to see
He cries like a child
But he's always a failure to me.

He will lead you to pain
He can beacon or heal you
You can tell him the truth
But he'll never believe
And he'll spec what you want, as long as it's ret
Yeah, he ninja'd your loot
But he's always a failure to me

Oh--He can bubble himself
He can heal if he wants
He is wasting my time
Oh--he never gives buffs
And he doesn't gem int
He is just out of his mind

And he'll promise you more
Then the unholy DK
Then he'll carelessly BoP you
And laugh while your screaming
But he'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause he's always a failure to me

Oh--He can bubble himself
He can heal if he wants
He is wasting my time
Oh--he never gives buffs
And he doesn't gem int
He is just out of his mind

He is frequently awful
And more than often schooled
He can spec how he pleases
He's just always a tool
And he can be removed
He's earned that from me
And the most he will do
Is throw QQs at you
But he's always a failure to me.

That is it hope you enjoyed it. If interested in the real song click here. Last remind that tonight is your last chance to get your jokes in for tomorrow. Enjoy whats left of your day
