| Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, as we start winding down to that very merry part of the year, I have to ask.....have you been naughty or have you been nice? Time will tell, my friends...time will tell.
This weeks newsletter is yet another crazy collaboration by yours truely...Das WooDy!
So lets start off with some random news from around the globe....
MODESTO, Calif., Dec. 14 2012
Only in California would you hear about sh*t like this. Police in California said they arrested a man accused of robbing multiple stores while wearing a Captain America mask. Makes sense, right? Im pretty sure California has seen its fair share of crazies, but come on! As if this mask is gonna do you a justice
If you want to rob a place...should have went with Angry Bird!
GAVLE, Sweden, Dec. 13 2012
Police in Gavle, Sweden, said arsonists were finally able to burn down the traditional straw Christmas Goat under cover of night.
"We haven't arrested anyone," Gavle police duty officer Johan Fredriksson said. "Personally, I think this is a shame. It's fun that the goat is so famous but it would also be nice if it could be left alone."
Umm, Christmas goat? Inso, I think we need some clarification on this one. Where the hell does a goat come in exactly? Oh the many questions some of us might have about this story lol
Wait a sec, did you have something to do with it Inso? Hmmm.
Moving on....
Servers
As some of you, if not all of you should know that the Christmas event for Killing Floor has started already. I personally dont see what the fuss is all about with this years event, but it definatly has put some people on the edge. Since the release of this years event, some of our servers have been taken down due to newly created bugs in the matrix.
Servers 1 and 2 are still up, but 3, 4 and 5 have been taken down for now and 6 is becoming 3 (confusing I know). The guys are still hard at work at fixing the Aliens Server, they've taken the chance to impliment some other fixes while the xmas event is on the go. We'll keep you updated as time goes on.
PvP / WvW
As of Friday, accourding to Webley our home server will be competing as one of the top 3 servers in the whole world in the World vs World battlegrounds. Our server has become a PvP hub and therefore WvW is the biggest event happening on that night at that time.
I am not sure if this is still going on or what, so maybe we should check out the WvW sometime?
Events
In other Guild Wars 2 news, the Christmas event has finally kicked off. I myself havent checked it out yet, but I found some pictures for you guys to check out. I think some of us should get together and see what all the fuss is about with it. Maybe Santa or whatever its called in game will give you all nice presents!
Consoles
Seems like 2013 is the year of the next generation consoles to come. Everything from the Playstation 4 to the Ouya, X-box 720 and soon to be released SteamBox. Even if these are all rumors, the question is: Can Valve pull it off?
Valve has been in the works for creating a console that can play most if not all the games Steam has to offer. Utilizing the "Big Picture" feature from Steam, the console will fit in like the other consoles, for all you couch potatoes out there.
It was rumored the Alienware computers were gonna be the premise of this project, pushing forward the X51 as the box itself. Whether or not that is true is something that I couldnt put my finger at the moment. If it is, here is what it would look like:
It will be interesting to see who comes out on top of the console race next year. Me personally, ill just stick with my computer. Hell, im glued to my computer chair half the time anyway, so wtf! Word.
Oh and btw, if this is the real controller for the xbox 720, Good Luck! lol
Council News
Well the time to finally decide what to do with the vacant council chair has come and gone. LordDean has taken up the spot for the remainder of the time. We are glad to have him aboard as he has always done a good job in the past. Personally, I think he is nuts taking on all this responcibility with the Recruitments/Servers/Council....but thats just me. (jk LD)
Now the council knows that many of you put your name down as canidates just incase there was another election, but the decision was based on two parts. One, most of you are still quite new to the game, so we wanted to get ya worn in a bit more beforehand and Two, we didnt think it was fair to you anyway because it wasnt a full term. Now when the next election comes up we will encourage all of those who applied prior to put your names forward again (granted you have the requirements met). The voting process will be the same as it was last time so everybody will have an equal shot. I need to remind you people tho that this job requires you to be dedicated and creative at the same time. We realize that people have lives outside of the computer world but at the same time if you feel that you're gonna be on holiday for 5 months out of the 6, you need NOT apply.
Story Tellers
Think you got what it takes to write stories for the WPC? We have had stories about things like Mages and Unicorns in the past, but we are wanting to see what you can come up with. Take notice to the middle of the front page of WPC, and youll see in the center block a lovely AVP installment written by the beautiful Snooze, as it also demonstrates the area in which stories can be published. We are looking for people that can do chapter stories for the site. If you think you have what it takes, hit Snooze up or one of the Council members....ahhh hell, just direct all your stuff to LordDean, he can handle it! lol jk Just let one of us know =-)
New Members
Breaking News! All Diction can now place the proper WPC tags in front of her name. You have been accepted into the clan, and therefor you now owe me 99 bottles of "soda"? on the wall. Congrats!
WPC Christmas
Ahh yes, its nearing that time again where we have to cook, clean and spend money on things for other people. =-) Christmas is a time for people to come together and have fun, celebrate the best BOOM Headshots! of the year, and just be happy. We as a clan should always remember that having fun is what we do. It keeps us healthy and cuts down on Ginger abuse.
How many of you made a list for Santa Clause / Father Christmas this year? hmmm? What did you guys want the most? Im compiling a list so I can make sure to at least send you guys a picture of it for Christmas with best wishes attached lol <3
Me personally, I have found the best thing ever, so if you want to get if for me, please do!
Here it is..DAS BEER BOOT!!
Well anyway, what we as a clan in whole need to do is get together and do something in game or just crowd the hell out of TeamSpeak. Ohhh ohhh, Lets see if we can get like 50 people in TS and drown Buzz' bandwidth! w000t! lol No but seriously, lets do something, JeeJ!
Well anyway, thats it for me this week as I leave you with this...
There is always a Wolf with Das Beer Boot! (eventually)
