Legacy of the Void Launch Trailer

Monday! Here we are one day away from the Launch of Legacy of the Void. When a game's trilogy that has changed the scope of gaming story comes to an end. It really is something isn't it. Well waht better thing to showcase this week then but the launch trailer to get you even more hyped up.



Just one more day!

Ask Gauss

Sunday! Yes Blizzcon is over and we are all sad. How can we not be it was a pretty amazing Blizzcon wasn't it? What better way to finish off Blizzcon then to answer some Blizzcon themed questions for Ask Gauss

What did you think of the Warcraft Movie Trailer?

It was amazing actually. I really think the way they are doing the movie is right. Sticking to the story and not making it Humans vs Orcs and Good vs Bad. There is good and evil on both sides as GRRM says. I also think this movie is going to appeal to non gamers especially with fantasy getting bigger into the main stream since Lord of the Rings.

Favourite part of Blizzcon?

The opening ceremonies are always a great thing. We got to see what was coming up for each and every game as well as a Starcraft send off which I think was a great touch. Really though watch the series between sOs and Life was something special. Watching that actually gave me some chills. Best players of HotS doing battle for the world title and it going to 7 games. And that warp prism snipe!

So Cho'gall?

Even if as a character it fails. I love the concept.

There you have it questions for the week. Hope you all enjoyed it as well as Blizzcon itself!

Blizzcon Pros and Cons

Friday and it is Reader Post time, but it is also the first day of Blizzcon! That is if you didn't know. Well as a tribute to the day and to those going here is Gunrocks's Pros and Cons list for Blizzcon. Hope you all enjoy!

My Pros and Cons of Blizzcon

Pros:
1. Enjoying "beverages", taking pictures, and hanging out at the Hilton hotel bar with the Blizzard devs, creators, and staff. Many of them are pretty laid back and have a lot of stories to tell.

2. Late night parties at the Hilton or the Marriott next to it. Holy S*^&, there is a lot of repression that gets unleashed during Blizzcon, just be careful which room/party you get invited to.

3. Introvert friendly zone - The whole area around the convention center day and night is usually judgement free so have fun without being self-conscious.

4, Witnessing the real life version of forum behavior in the crowds when panel discussions and Q&A's are taking place. It's got to be the most entertaining way to spend time while you recover from your drinks from the previous night.

5. If you have the slightest advantage in cardiovascular status, you can out run most the masses to the lines for the Blizzcon stores. (The second day of the 2010 blizzcon convention, I decided to be there right when the doors opened. As soon as they did, I bolted for the store on the north side of the convention floor. There was a ton of shouting and yelling like someone just opened the gates to AV and everyone was thundering across the fields of strife. As I reached the line, it suddenly got very quiet so I turned around and saw the majority of the guys in queue were doubled over wheezing in agony as their so's and friends looked on in concern. It was a moment that I will never forget.)

6. Get there a day or two early so you can do the following - Check out the sunset on the west coast, it's amazing. Hit up theme parks and other local attractions. AND FOR PETE'S SAKE, GO TO IN AND OUT BURGER!!!

Cons:
1. THE SMELLS, OH GOD THE SMELLS! - One the first day of the one I went to in 2008, the entire convention center smelled like steak and onions and I wasn't anywhere near the food courts. People would slide down the most clench inducing consumables I'd ever witnessed. Quite a few people had this perpetual sheen on them that was akin to some kind of petroleum byproduct. I remember at the 2010 blizzcon, the swag bag actually had travel sized sticks of Degreee deodorant and that people must have gotten the message because it didn't smell nearly as bad that time around.

2. Wait times - It's Blizzcon, so it's going to be crowded. Plan your two days around what you want to do by priority and get there when it opens. I'm sure there have been improvements, but the store lines for both times i've gone were lengthy in wait.

3. Airports being Airports - If your travel method is flying, make sure the airport isn't going to have a problem with the goods you bring back from blizzcon. I remember one of those years they sold diablo stress balls to the attendees and a good number of them got confiscated at security checkpoints.

All in all, I had an absolute blast both times and it makes for an even better experience to go or meet up with friends or guildmates. 

There you have it. To all of those going enjoy!

Warcraft Trailer Teaser

So I know this week is supposed to be all about Blizzcon, and it is but how could I not mention the teaser trailer that seems to have taken the world by a storm. Now Blizzard has officially announced the trailer will debut at Blizzcon now but the 15 seconds we got has shown us quite a bit. We all knew there was going to be CG. The orcs in the Warcraft Universe are much different than the orcs in the Token universe. You can also see the lines being drawn from the time of Orcs vs Humans. One of the reasons Duncan Jones got this directing job when others didn't was that he was going to be doing Humans good, Orcs bad scenario. There is good and bad on every side and I am glad they will be doing this right.

What can I say though. After watching the teaser all I want is to see more and I am truly excited what the movie itself will bring. It is really going to be a long wait till June 10th.

For those living under a rock though here is the teaser!

War Is Coming

So here we are the Wednesday before Blizzcon and you know this week's list is going to be about Blizzcon. What about it you may ask though? Well that is simple, it is going to be the things I am most excited to see at this years Blizzcon. So here they are!

5. Wil Wheaton Hosting Abilities

I am truly interested how this will work itself out. So I will reserve my judgement until after.

4. New Heroes in Heroes of the Storm

Always interested in who will be joining the Nexus next. So why change?

3. Legion Lore Panel

I am a lore guy. So any information I can get on it the better. Warcraft has been a household name for so many years because of the story within the story and I look forward to hearing more of it.

2. WCS Starcraft II Champion

Well it all comes down to this? Who will be this years world champion? Will Life make it hard to not name him the greatest SC2 player of all time?

1. Warcraft Movie Trailer

Not sure this is a surprise to anyone. I think people have known for over a year that Blizzcon was going to be the world release of the trailer and everyone is still hyped for it. Well I can't wait

There you have it everything I am looking forward to the most. There are countless things I am looking forward to though these just happen to be my top 5. Here is looking to a great Blizzcon!

You Fail At Being Ready For Blizzcon If...

Fail Day! Not just any fail day though it is the Fail Day of Blizzcon Week. What does that mean? Well it means I will be doing a Fail Day in the spirit of Blizzcon obviously. So why don't we get right to it.

You Fail At Being Ready For Blizzcon If...

• You have no idea what Blizzcon is
• You plan on working the Friday and Saturday
• You are not looking forward to the Warcraft Movie trailer
• You are not interested in any of the Esports finals
• You are not wondering if Red Shirt Guy will show up
• You don't care about what is up for any of their games
• You could careless about Overwatch news
• You are not wondering who is going to injured themselves during the dance contest
• You are not in the least bit interested about expansions being announced
• You are not curious about the Legacy of the Void show matches
• Wil Wheaton?

And Finally

• You don't plan on watching it one way or another

There you have it this week's edition of Fail. Hope you all enjoyed it and are ready for Blizzcon.

Isn't Falstad Dead?

Monday! Not just any Monday though, it is the Monday before Blizzcon. So with that in mind I thought why not bring back memories of one of the Best Blizzcon moments ever. The Immortal Red Shirt Guy. So here it is



Now aren't you ready for Blizzcon?

Ask Gauss

Sunday! And happy time change. If you believe in that time change stuff. Hopefully everyone survived their Halloween in one way or another. Now we can get back into the normal swing of things. Starting with it being Sunday and me answering some questions.

So what are you most looking forward to at Blizzcon?

I think what everyone else is, the Warcraft Movie trailer. Now they haven't even announced that this is going to be shown at this year's Blizzcon, but it is what everyone is expecting. If you know anything at Blizzcon you know there is always a big reveal of some sort. This also includes the big reveals from each game in their universe as well. So I cannot see it any other way then during the opening ceremonies we see the trailer.

If Life wins the WCS this year does this make him the greatest Starcraft II player ever?

I think if he wins him and MVP will be the only ones in the discussion. His stats speak for themselves. Even when Zerg was in a bad spot meta wise he still found a way to win tournaments, which to me speaks volumes of his skill. During Terran down times you never saw the same things from MVP which is why I will always tend my vote to Life even now. Just makes this tournament all the more exciting.

Think Red Shirt Guy will make an appearance?

I would be quite surprised if we didn't see him.

There you have it this week's questions. Hopefully you got something out of it and can start your time change recovery off on the right foot. Happy Blizzcon week everyone!

The Seeker

Friday! As with any Friday this will be a Reader Post, but will continue on the theme of the week that being Halloween. This week's submission is from Vesthara and her own story about Hallow's End in WoW. So have a read!

Desolation was far from an uncommon sight throughout this land, as The Seeker had come to learn over the past few months. She trudged up the long, chilled winds brushing against her ragged cloak each step of the way. The road was a broken mess. Cobblestones shifted under the weight of The Seeker’s worn down boots, and she found herself constantly clutching toward the gnarled roots and clusters of grass sticking from the ground. Every now and then, The Seeker found herself stepping over a skeleton, legs often twisted at a very crooked angle, or the skulls cracked in some cases.

Glancing over her shoulder, The Seeker looked upon a long, grey stretch of hill land, dotted by the broken remains of towers, villages, and crumbled castles. Though the sun was beginning to dip into the horizon, not a single light glowed within the land. The Seeker’s gaze drifted upward, to the dark skies. Thick clouds hovered in the south, casting their shadow upon the land for endless miles. The Seeker turned her attention back to the climb, pace hastening.

By the time she had reached the cliff’s peak, the last of the light had died away. A void of black surrounded The Seeker in all directions. Not even the stars shined this night. The Seeker reached toward her waist, sharp nailed fingers unhooking the lantern that hung from her waist. With the twist of a rusted knob, a violet flame kindled to life, casting its glow upon the contorted trees and broken fences that surrounded The Seeker. She raised the light above her head, a chilled breathe escaping her lips.

Skeletons covered the road. Collapsed against the fences, on doorsteps, or beneath withered branches. As The Seeker slowly stepped forward, she could see a pair resting beneath a moss covered signpost, hands clasped together. That was when she realized what it was that had been confusing her about the scene: There were no signs of struggle. No swords littered the ground. No arrows penetrated bones. The skeletons were simply… there. The Seeker gave off a shudder, lifting the lantern toward the arrow pointing the way of her destination.

Sun’s Rest, its faded letters spelled.

Passing a final glance toward the hand holders, The Seeker continued on her journey. The further down the road she travelled, the more common signs of civilization became: Cabins and small houses sat apart from one another, covered in vines and, in some cases, rust. A door slammed open and shut against the rising gale, sending echoes throughout the empty valley. 

“CAW!” a crow screeched from a nearby rooftop, red eyes glaring down upon The Seeker. Its cry was immediately answered by dozens more, small, winged silhouettes bouncing on top the structures. “CAW! CAW! CAW!” 

The Seeker paid them no mind. She pressed on, taking note of empty benches, unlit blacksmiths, and the occasional toy lying on the road. Suddenly, she found herself stumbling to the ground with a loud grunt, landing against her hollow elbows and dropping the lantern. With a shudder, The Seeker rolled onto her back, looking toward what it was she tripped over. Her fingers tensed against the stones as she realized what she was staring at: An abandoned bag, children’s clothes spilling out from a hole that had torn open at its bottom. 

The Seeker snatched her lantern from the ground, rising to her feet and stumbling back. Turning on her heels, she raised the lantern, casting its purple glow upon a large, circular stone shape. A fountain, she realized, hands tightening around the lantern’s handle. Water still sat within it, covered by black leaves and feathers of similar color.

And yet… despite its broken look, there was something familiar about the fountain, the feeling itching away at the back of The Seeker’s head. A joy? Her eyes strayed away, looking to her left. Not to far ahead, she could see something in the darkness. A hill in the road? The Seeker approached it, taking much more caution with her steps. As she drew nearer, she lifted the lantern its way.
“CAW!” Winged silhouettes burst from the rooftops, flapping loudly above The Seeker’s head as they soared in all directions. Dark feathers drifted to the earth, several of them landing on top of what held her attention: A mound of skeletons, piled one on top of the other. Their bones were charred a bitter black, eyeless sockets staring toward The Seeker. They were of all shapes and sizes: Short and tall. Curved at the hips, or flat. Some were no larger than The Seeker’s leg, and there were many with cracks along their ribs and skulls. For a long moment, The Seeker just stood there, foggy breathes emitting from beneath her cowl.

Then she reached a hand forward, her frail fingers wrapping around a hand that looked to be in very similar condition. As The Seeker applied a grip, she caught sight of several white specs falling around her, beginning to cover the skeletons and all else that surrounded them. She pulled her hand away, stepping around the pile.

There it was: A house crammed between a stable and tavern. It looked just as abandoned as everything else in Sun’s Rest… but The Seeker knew this was the place she had been looking for. She stepped toward the door, the hinges letting out a squeak as she pushed it open with ease. She raised the lantern before her, purple light revealing a round, wooden table set before a cobweb covered fireplace. Dust enveloped the entire room, floating in all directions. The Seeker paid it no mind, making her way toward the stairs.

Each board let out a groan as she climbed upward. The planks that made up the second floor were in no better condition, The Seeker finding herself grateful for her lack of weight, ears straining against the creaking wood with each step forward. She found herself in a small hallway, rooms on either side. It was the one on the right that The Seeker chose, her steps slowly as she proceeded through the entrance…

...and into a very small room, where two beds half The Seeker’s length sat on opposite ends of the wall, both of them bordered by drawers. Wallpaper covered the walls, the horses it once depicted peeling away. Within both beds sat a stuffed animal: A rabbit to The Seeker’s left, and a lion to her right. Glancing to the lion, an unease formed within her lungs. An emotion that The Seeker had forgotten even existed: Guilt. 

She turned her head away, looking instead to the bunny. The unease drifted, giving way to something else: Want. The Seeker approached the bed, setting the lantern down. Her frail hands reached for the rabbit, cold fingers gently wrapping around its body and lifting it to her chest. Her eyes slid shut, a shudder escaping her lips as a third feeling swooped through The Seeker’s body: Warmth.

Slowly pulling the rabbit back, she opened her eyes, looking it over. Much of its fur had fallen off, and the poor thing was covered in dust. The buttons that served as its eyes looked ready to fall off at any moment. But that was fine. She could fix them with a little work, just as her mother had shown her before.

But then something caught her attention… a glint of light against the wall. The Seeker looked its way, squinting to see what it was. A fourth emotion clutched against her chest as she realized the answer: Terror.

For staring back at The Seeker was a yellow eyed monster, its flesh pale as the snow outside, bony claws wrapped around the body of her beloved rabbit.

Thanks once again to Vesthara and everyone else who sent something in. Have a safe and happy Halloween.

Carving As A Gamer

So as has been the case with the week thus far Halloween theme continues. Now one of the things that gamers talk about most around Halloween is playing Horror games. It has even become a streaming phenomenon, but that isn't the only way gamers show their Halloween spirit and definitely not the only way I do.

You see there is this other Halloween practice that takes place that gamers tend to go the extra mile to show not only their love of gaming, but their artistic talent. What would that be? Well that would be the act of pumpkin carving.

I have seen many great pumpkins over the years and it seems every year I see one that tops the rest. That could just be because my memory is fading, but let's not talk about that. The newest trend it seems in pumpkin carving is making not just one but a series of Jack-O-Lanterns that get something across. As shown by the picture I chose for today's post it can be quite amazing feat if done right.

Now I don't have the artistic talent to do something like this. The only gaming pumpkin I have every been able to pull off is when I made the buttons of a Playstation controller and I only came up with the idea because I had seen it somewhere else. Doesn't mean though that I cannot appreciate the time and effort put into it.

That being said I still carve at least one every year and then generally snack on the seeds while I am gaming so there is that connection! So as you are carving your pumpkin today if it is something spectacular or not keep in mind we all get the seeds.

You Promised To Take Me There Again Someday

Wednesday! Sticking with the Halloween theme I assume you can guess what this week's list is all about. I decided to go with the creepiest things we come across in gaming. Now these games themselves might not be the creepiest, but the enemies themselves is what takes the cake.

5. Scissorman - Clock Tower Series

Guy running around with giant scissors? Ya not many things get more terrifying then this

4. Blinded Woman - Fatal Frame

Not your ordinary ghost. As they can be freaky in general this one takes it to the next level with blood coming out of her eyes. Some would say the style of the game makes this scary, but even if that is so it is bound to make you think twice about it.

3. Slender Man - Slender Series

What isn't creepy about a guy following you? Also for some reason he can only be there if you turn around. just makes it that much creepier

2. Nemesis - Resident Evil 3

Run if you want, but he will still find you and kill you. There is many different types of enemies you have to deal with in the Resident Evil series, but Nemesis is the top guy and that is why it makes the list. 

1. Pyramid Head - Silent Hill 2

So ya don't think there is any arguing this point. He is creepy by every description of the word and even today still gives me the creeps even if I know the story behind it all.

There you have it my list of the creepiest enemies in gaming. Agree or disagree or maybe in this case terrified let me know one way or another!

You Fail At Being A Gamer At Halloween If...

Starcrafts Brood War Episode 5

So it is Monday and we need things to cheer us up. What better way to do that then laugh and cheer at everyone's favourite Brood War unit in the latest episode of Starcrafts brought to you by Carbot. Makes us wonder if we will ever see this little slug again.



We are vigilant!

Ask Gauss

Here we are end of the weekend and one more weekend till the clocks changing Well that is if you were part of the whole daylight savings time thing. If not then you can basically ignore everything I have said. It is Sunday though which means I have a job to do answering some questions so why don't I get on with that.

Impressions on Syndicate so far?

I think the game has built on what Unity did right. The combat makes it not just a button masher and I know some people hate the fact that you actually require some skill to take on multiple enemies, but to me it tends to the more realistic option and promotes stealth gameplay, which to me is what being an Assassin is all about. Story wise don't think I have completed enough to give an accurate semi review of it so will hold off for the time being.

Do you think we will get a platform game worth playing again?

I am not 100% sure what you mean, but I am guessing you mean the type of game that is "the game" to play. I will agree now it always seems like ARPGs tend to be the games that everyone says are "the game" to play. I think this is because it is the middle ground for the gaming world. They are not overly complicated, they have a story that brings people in and they have fun gameplay elements. They bring together all the things from other genres that people like and again it is why everyone no matter the type of games you "like" to play it is always a game that gamers enjoy playing. Games not in this genre have to be exceptional to really get others to come to "their side" and I think this will continue to be the trend.

Sorry about the Jays.

It's all good

There they are the answers to the questions. Hope you all got something out of it. Thanks to everyone who sent something in and as always will get to those eventually that were not answered on here. Enjoy what is left of your weekend!

The One True God

Friday! I know Syndicate is out today and a lot of you will be playing it. For those that are not I did come across this really interesting submissions for this week's Reader Post from Elivyndyr. It talks about how the religion of the Protoss relates to some of the ancient religions from our history. So knowing I am a history buff I couldn't resist sharing.

So, is anyone else here semi studied in biblical history? It is widely accepted that the term 'Amen' stems from the use to sanctify the end of a sentence with respect to the ancient Egyptian worship of their sun god.. Amon Ra. So... Let's dive right into these ancient aliens.

Amon Ra was considered to be the king of all the gods -- basically, the god of gods, or titular God as if he was a God amongst Gods those other gods were lesser, right? Is this not how the Tal'darim have been instructed by Amon to see the Xel'Naga? 

Let's consider some of the similarities. The cult of Amon Ra and it's sun worship spread into the modern day monotheistic accounts through the Egyptian influence on Abraham. In ancient times, if the 'gods' had presence on Earth like the Xel'Naga had presence on Aiur, could not a similar event occur, with one god being seen as the 'Truth' amongst the rest? Going into the story Ascension gives us some clues about this. To Amon Ra, death is ascension. The annihilation of life such that it can all be 'with him in the Void' is the goal of this religion, almost akin to the necromongers of Riddick acclaim. There has been foretold a great sundering whereby the faithful will 'ascend higher than the highest master' on the day of reckoning. 

It comes down to the Khalai protoss being pantheists who see their gods as killable and potentially exinct, versus the Tal'darim protoss being monotheists who see their god as beyond this plane, it's eternal creator, and immortal. And, if any of these ancient alien links hold true tangentially (because we're playing devil's advocate with lore for fun now), then the Xel'Naga engineered humanity as well, potentially giving credence to a theory whereby a Xel'Naga saw Amon's plan and deliberately engineered humanity such that a being of psionic potential such as Kerrigan would arise to defeat Amon's Armageddon. It should be noted that when referring to In Utter Darkness in the Cantina and Bridge, Raynor says "Armageddon" specifically, to many different characters. 

The events in Starcraft II represent an Ancient Aliens view of the fight in 'heaven and Earth' between an alien that represents himself as a monodeity which will end all suffering and the rest of his race which represent themselves as mortal, creators, and benevolent which seek to expand life across the universe -- However, is Amon acting against the will of the rest of the Xel'Naga, truly, if the Hybrid are supposed to be the successors to the Xel'Naga or the new Xel'Naga, effectively continuing the cycle and truly ending no suffering at all? 

Didn't I tell you? Now you have plenty to think about going into the weekend.

Knowing When Someone Is A Hypocrite

Sticking with the theme of the week I decided to go on a little rant about Assassin's Creed. Many people have been all over me about how I can not be ok with sports games coming out each and every year and some how when a new Assassin's Creed game comes out I am not in the least upset about it.

So why is that? Well first off I have no problem with sports games coming out every year. The problem I have with sports games is that there is minimal competition so the changes to the games are minimal and really don't warrant the asking price for them. Now then people would argue that the core mechanics of every Assassin's Creed game is the same. I would also argue that this is a good thing. Why you may ask? Well that is simple just like any game where there is a sequel of some sort you want the game to actually build on what you already know. Sure there will be some changes but the game you enjoy playing should stay the same. It is what is different in every Assassin's Creed game which is the part I enjoy.

Now most of you know by now that I am a big fan of history. I love the weapons, the architecture, the culture, and everything else. This is what each and every game brings and it is done at another level compared to other games. Even when some of the games story was not as great as others the history came through and someone like myself was even able to enjoy the game just as much as the others.

Other yearly games just don't have that amount of depth to them. This is why as long as the quality remains the same I will never have an issue at the games coming out each and every year. So to all those chirping me as a hypocrite why don't you actually think before you speak.

So What's The Plan?

Weapons! Weapons which are also quite stealthy. That is the name of the game in Assassin's Creed. Not only do you want weapons which can act quickly but ones that can have a major impact. We all know about the Hidden Blade. Something every assassin has, but what about the other weapons? What about the ones which were the flare of the era they were found in? Well that is exactly what my list this week is about.

5. Blunderbuss - Assassin's IV Black Flag

Who doesn't like the shotgun of the pirate era? Not only does it pack a punch and cause massive damage, but it has a pretty sweet look to it as well.

4. Guillotine Gun - Assassin's Creed Unity

In the first DLC to Unity we were given this creation to try out. Not only did the gun itself pack quite the punch but the axe on the end of it made for some fun kills.

3. Poison Dart Gun - Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

Nothing like a dart to cause a kill that no one is even aware of. Always a good time for Ezio once you got your hand on some of these. 

2.  Phantom Blade - Assassin's Creed Unity

With the skill required of the dart, but with a little more flare for the dramatic the phantom blade made sure you had some good aim or you were dead in the water.

1. Sword Cane - Assassin's Creed Syndicate

It is a sword cane how is it not awesome? I haven't even played the game yet and I know this one takes the cake.

There it is this week's list for all of  you to critique. How did I do? As always let me know some way or another.

You Fail At Being Ready For Syndicate If...

Fail Day! Yes here we are yet another week where all of us can have some fun poking at ourselves and others. This week I decided to look at the upcoming Assassin's Creed game and if you are ready for it's release. So let's get right to it.

You Fail At Being Ready For Syndicate If...

• You thought it was still called Victory
• You didn't know it takes place in London
• You were not aware that there is both a Male and Female protagonist in the game
• You didn't know there were siblings either
• You are excited about the multiplayer
• You don't like gang wars
• You think Jack the Ripper is in the main game
• You don't think cane swords are awesome
• You didn't know you can kidnap people and hold them for ransom
• You don't like Victorian era history
• You didn't know Darwin makes an appearance
• You were not aware they removed the companion app

And Finally

• You thought it came out today and not on the 23rd

There you have it this week's edition of Fail. Hope you all enjoyed it in one way or another.

Take Back London

Happy Monday!

If there is one thing I can appreciate it is when a fan takes the time to make a their own version of a trailer. Especially when the game is yet to be released and the available footage for said trailer only exists from trailers the actual game company has produced. Sometimes this fan made trailers are epic flops, but sometimes you get works of art. That is exactly what White24Room has provided us with this time. So have a a watch and get ready to play.

Was I right?
