Valentine's Day

It's that time of the year again folks. My personally most depressing world event. Valentine's day. Not because of the being alone part. Because of people ruining it.

The Japanese, being avid MMOers, have got the mechanics right, you receive some chocolate on V-Day, then reciprocate on white day. Everyone else though does it the American way. Buy tons of shit, receive nothing. While the staples of Roses or Tulips (Thank you Delia for enlightening me on flowers) and REAL Chocolate are fine, the idea that it's all about women is wrong. It is a day to celebrate LOVE, not wizard sleeves. You guys need to get some +30 Balls and let the girl know you love her, but you expect the sentiment to be reciprocated. Otherwise it's more of a Quest with no reward than a 2-man raid.

Take your other half to a restaurant, but make your house the main event, flowers, candle lit movie, some glade air fresheners. Take her out to dance but don't dry hump each other, do a REAL dance, a dance that actually takes classes and daily practice to perfect. It may not sound like much, but I want you (if you have a partner) to try to waltz out of nowhere. You'll see that you will dance like shit because you aren't coordinated, the coordination and cooperation from dancing will definitely strengthen the bonds of your relationship. It's a 100% chance that you'll get to know your partner on a deeper level than before.

As for the ones just out for the kill (Oh you PvPers you), fuck it go for the easiest you can get away with. No need for Dinner and a Movie, McDonald's and a DVD should suffice.

All in all I hope to hear your Valentine's day stories, the best submissions will be published, email them at kribby53@gmail.com

Have a great Valentine's day, and may the GMs grace let you get what you want out of Life. I'll be spending my Valentine's day well accompanied.

Just kidding.

Chocolate

With Valentine's day on the horizon, allow me to enlighten you on chocolate. When I say chocolate, I mean real chocolate, not this shit you're used to.

Milk chocolate fucking sucks.

Milk chocolate has it's time and place, somewhere around you level 6 or 8. If you want to get an invite to a one man raid to your fellow woman/man's underwear you need real chocolate. You need a level cap chocolate, that shows you're world traveled and refined. REAL chocolate, DARK chocolate, with wings and horns and fangs and shit. 

Real chocolate.

This along peanut butter or other types of dark (which are all percentage based) along with some fruit, will get you that loot you've always been after. Now depending on this your date may or may not be public, if it happens in your house, then you need to get you a fondue pot and create a lovely atmosphere for a date. If you're going out somewhere, support a mom and pop restaurant, not the hippies at The Melting Pot. Now as to why you should be eating dark instead of milk: 

• Stat boosts: All the stat boosts from milk chocolate, with the bonus of +20 intellect for being so refined and NONE of the processed debuffs of milk chocolate. Dark chocolate also promotes circulatory system health.

Wikipedia has this to say on the subject:

A study reported by the BBC indicated that melting chocolate in one's mouth produced an increase in brain activity and heart rate that was more intense than that associated with passionate kissing, and also lasted four times as long after the activity had ended.

If this doesn't convince you, you probably should be reading another blog.

I may expand on this topic for the V-Day extravaganza in the works. Recipes, home decor, etc. But keep your eyes on the prize and you will be one step closer to the loot you want from Life.
