:( 
Yeah yeah i know SOMEBODY around here already did this in his blog, but ask me if I care. I wanna do it too, dammit.
Of course by now you already know i am hooked on a game called Guild Wars, which I already went through the pain of describing HERE. It’s been a while since my first character appeared here. He’s already capped (reached the maximum level in the game) and can already kick some serious ass. This is how he looked when I began the game:
And this is Dorian now:
Nice armor, eh? Expensive too.
And now i introduce you to my other child, a tree-huggin’ hippie Ranger/Mesmer by the name of Alistair Bladegash:
I know I know, the armor looks horrible with all those twigs and leaves that make him look like a deranged member of Greenpeace who could just as well skewer you in the chest with a bamboo rod if he sees you cutting down a tree, but unfortunately that’s the only armor I’ve found that pumps up my MP, or, for anyone who is not versed in the language of roleplaying (or if you don’t speak Geek), it’s that little bar that allows you to do magic spells.
Oh, and don’t forget about his pet:
Cujo the Snow Wolf. He bites. HARD.
His bites actually make opponents bleed (an in-game condition), and needless to say, their life is quickly drained away as he keeps biting their ass off.
Cujo fuckin’ rocks. And whatever Purina he’s being fed in the game seems to be working, ’cause that fuckin’ dog is HUGE.
Oh and we’ve been made officers in our guild! we can recruit people! yay! If you ever need a guild lemme know.
Hmmmm what else? Ah! here’s a pic of Guild Wars’ halloween event, which consisted of a non-playable character called the Mad King Thorn visiting one of the game’s towns (Lion’s Arch) and wreaking havoc on everyone who wanted to play his idiotic, yet funny as hell games:
The king is the huge guy with the pumpkin head (obviously).
The whole thing was a riot. He came and started playing these games where he forced all the players near him to use a game feature called "emotes", where your character performs specific personalized actions or movements, like dancing or playing air guitar or jumping. He said things like "This party is so boring. I kno what we need, we need music! come on people! play for me!", and if you didn’t play an instrument quickly, he would kill you. You just dropped dead on the spot (not to worry, you would resurrect in like 10 seconds). If you obeyed him, you got a "prize", which consisted of halloween-specific items like liquor (which made your screen all blurry as if you were wasted), a ghost in the box (which looked hilarious popping up and yelling BOO!) and some other crap. Then he started choosing a random audience member and daring him to play rock paper scissors (yep, another in-game feature), and if you lost, of course, you died. I wasn’t picked, but the highlight of that game was when the king picked a player called SIR BLOODFART. The "LOL’s" and "ROFL’s" filled the entire chat area. Instant Celebrity. Needless to say, Sir Bloodfart lost and died a grisly death, like many others.
The final part of the game consisted of "simon says", and the deaths were just all over the place, I died like 5 times before i could get the hang of his stupid requests. The funniest part was when he gave an easy order and only 1 or 2 people failed and dropped dead. They were instantly pelted with "NOOB!" shouts from the 100 or so people present. (noob = the lowest form of unexperienced beginner)
If you stayed till the end of this idiocy, the king gave you a special helmet shaped like a Jack-o-lantern. Here’s Alistair, modeling his very own pumpkin mask:
Happy gaming, bitches!
