Acid for Blood

Eleven days ago, I placed my order for the Collector’s Edition of Guild Wars Nightfall on GameStop.com. This was two days after pre-orders for Nightfall became available. At the time, GameStop.com were offering the Pre-Release Bonus pack for an additional $4.99 with the purchase of the game. I checked the site just now, and they […]

A quick review of last weekend’s event.
Pros

Nightfall seems to be more focused on PvE than Factions was.
I loved the gorgeous landscapes and artwork. The African-inspired continent of Elona is so beautiful.
Jeremy Soule’s brilliant soundtrack. We now have event-trigged battle music, and the transition from background music to battle music is wonderfully unobtrusive.

I will be hard-pressed to continue playing World of Warcraft if people on the server keep ignoring me when I try to make conversation. I am playing an online game. Isn’t the socialising a major factor in World of Warcraft’s appeal? I feel like I am playing an offline game (that I pay monthly for) […]

I just had a dream about Guild Wars a few moments ago. This isn’t the first time I have had a dream related to videogames (sometimes I am playing videogames in the dream, sometimes I am actually in the videogame). It has been a while since my last videogame-related dream, though.

Hello. Still alive. I have been playing World of Warcraft, with a smattering of Guild Wars mixed in. Am I crazy to be playing two online games at the same time? Perhaps. Oustide gaming, other stuff is keeping me stressed out and busy.
I am really looking forward to this weekend’s Guild Wars Nightfall World Preview […]

I won an iPod Shuffle (old version) yesterday. My office had an IT Open House, in which they showcased all of the services that the IT Department offers. To win a prize, one had to answer a bunch of questions, the answers to which could be found by speaking to the various people at the […]

I completed Guild Wars Prophecies with my main character (finally!). Yay! GregT happened to be online, so I said “Hello”. We chatted for a bit and he offered to help me with Hell’s Precipice. I think I’m going to try and finish the Bonus Missions to get my Protector of Tyria Title, uncover more of […]

My Warlock is at level 10 now. Levels 1 to 7 were boring and frustrating because all I seemed to do for quests was “Kill X number of Y and bring back X number of trophies” or “Deliver X object to Y NPC and report back”. Admittedly, there are a lot of boring quests in […]

I had a World of Warcraft post ready for final edits as soon as I got back from work, however I had a parcel waiting for me at home. The contents were so exciting that I had to blog about it first.
The address label indicated that the package was from Huzzah Goods, a website that […]
