Another Guild Wars Account

May 16th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

A month or two ago I created a trial Guild Wars account for the hell of it. After the time ran out on it I did not bother with it until my Guild Leader went out and bought me the Guild Wars Trilogy for the trial account. Now I am playing through the game again because my main account has no more character slots. It gives me something to do.

Jade Quary

May 9th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

I tend not to like PvP side of games. I am a person who enjoys a story line/take my time PvE type of guy. Though for the past few days a friend got me hooked on Jade Quary in Guild Wars. I have been playing my Necromancer with a Suicide Bomber. Cast my skills, shadow step in and 2 more skills and die and if done well I have now taken a quary or only 1-2 are left alive. It is very funny to watch warriors run up to me like they are going to stop me and I step past them right onto the shrine and now they are faced with my dead corpse and a new quary.

I even bought new armor just for the occasion of playing. Though since I was new to PvP I was not aware of the arbitrary rules of the Dishonor system. One match I spawn in with my guild lord and only 3 people are active. My Guild Leader, some random dude and myself. The rest of the 8 man team are all not moving. They did not move the entire match. So they are leaching of course. I report them for leaching but strange thing is unless a third of your team reports them then you get dishonor instead. What bullshit rule is that? It would be better to say that unless a third of your team reports then nothing happens. Maybe Guild Wars can check to see if the people who are being reported have moved or even cast a single skill. These people did not move one inch the entire 10 mins so maybe they should of auto got dishonor.

I doubt they will fix that but hey at least I am enjoying myself blowing things up. boom boom

Guild Wars Update

April 25th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

I have been looking over the new update for Guild Wars. Some of the things I see are indeed good but it was not what I was expecting. To me it seems Arena Net wanted to bog us down with daily quests until GW2 comes out.

That is fine. It does indeed give us something to do. The only problem I have are the outrageous prices they have put on their storage panes and character customization changes. The whole phrase “Don’t like it then don’t buy it” is bullshit. Indeed it is true but wouldn’t it be better to offer these things at a fair price. Say $1 for character customization and maybe $5 for a storage pane. It would be cheaper to buy a new character slot for $10. With this you can get about 45 new slots “if you get the belt pouch and upgraded bags” versus the what 20 new slots for a storage pane.

It does cost Anet to to maintain servers but still.

Day three The Calm

April 1st, 2009 VanGuard No comments

The third day was very quiet. The mighty dragon drool-a-lot was very well behaved today. He only cried a bit when his teething was bothering him but beyond that he was a typical happy child without a care in the world. We watched Toy Story 2 again before I put in Rocketman. That was a very hilarious movie and the calm dragon looked at us weird and wondered why we were laughing. After the movie, the mighty dragon fell into a deep sleep for a couple hours. When he awoke with a grunt and a empty belly, he desired food. Eating his food with a glee and part of mine as well.

The little one played a bit more while grandmother picked up a bit. After all that cleaning and following around by the mighty dragon, I took him to check the mail. Eventually I took him to the school playground. We walked slowly down the sidewalk where he picked up some sticks. Weapons? Defense? Maybe but who knows. Swinging the sticks back and forth until we go to the playground. He swung a bit and played with the the playground mulch. It was getting time for dinner so we started walking back. Ut oh, look who found a larger stick. Luckily he was just interested in swinging it around. When we were walking up the driveway. The mighty dragons mother pulled up to whisk him away.

Sadly I took no pictures of this day but stay tuned for tomorrows a new day.

Today is April 1st so that means April Fools day. I don not really do any jokes but I do enjoy some of the jokes that do go on. Guild Wars turned our Character into a cute chibi Gwen-Chan. I like this joke more then the previous 2 years.

A breakfast of delusion

March 29th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Yesterday evening my mothers preacher called me and invited me to a breakfast that my mothers church was having for friendship day. Now if you do not know me well or just don’t care to. I am an atheist. I do not believe in superstition, zeus, thor, shiva, leprechauns, fairies, any other god or other magical fairy tells. I believe a church is just a building same as a post office is just another building. My mother wishes I would go to her church and I bet the church does as well to fill their kofers.

I am for one do not turn down free food. Before we went to her church we stopped at Wal-Mart to get some Orajel for my wisdom teeth and pick up some doughnuts. We also ran into my sisters boyfriends parents in the parking lot, so we talked to them. We headed to the church and when we were pulling into the parking lot, The Fight Song by Marilyn Manson came on over my ipod. I thought it was befitting the occasion. The breakfast was uneventful. No, I did not lower my head when they prayed over their food and that was the only mention of imaginary friends as well.

I have been to her church a few times but I got tired of hearing the bullshit lies and delusional stories so I stopped going. They are good people I think. Somewhat misguided, deluded and delusional. Who isn’t right? The entire trip was very uneventful. I did talk to two people about Guild Wars. They use to play but not anymore. Guild Wars does get boring, especially with no content updates.  Though the update in April is suppose to pack some of this stuff.  Hopefully I will not be disappointed.

That was my morning.  What did you to this morning?

Helping Out

March 15th, 2009 VanGuard 3 comments

I spent most of my day helping a friend get through factions.  Was kind of stop and go there for a bit because of the lagspikes and her being called away so much.  We finely made it to Cavalon though. :)

The weekend was ok.  It was St. Patrick’s day this week so in Guild Wars was dropping Four-Leaf-Clovers and Shamrock Ales.  I already have my drunkard title so I will most likely sell the 100+ I got or give them to a friend.  I also got 100+ of the shamrocks as well.  I will most likely keep these for when I explore.

Bigot Homophobes

March 7th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Last night I was playing Guild Wars. I was in a guild party vanquishing an area. We all were on ts “teamspeak” and I do not know how the conversation went from oh there is a monster over there to some bigot spouting off that seeing 2 guys in a mall holding hands make him want to throw up. This homophobic asshole went on a rant how he thinks all gay guys think they are girls and other stereotypical bullshit that an educated person would toss out the window.

I am a straight male but I do have many guy and girl friends who are gay. This type of attitude from people who are homophobic piss me off. This asshole also was spouting off how he thinks two girls being together are hot but the moment two guys love each other then it is a sick thing and he can’t see any real men can do such a thing.

Only thing I want to say to this jerk is.. hey jerk.. REAL MEN DON’T GIVE A SHIT. Grow a fucking pair and stop being a mindless bigot.

So I just quit the party and did my own thing and told the Guild Leader I refuse to party with that bigot.

Peace Yo!

A wreck and a raffle.

February 26th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Yesterday my brothers wife was ran off the road by some blue truck. The drive of the truck ran off without stopping. My brothers wife is ok with a few bumps and bruises. Her black jeep though, its front end is damaged. Some if it will need to be replaced to be drivable. It was a nice jeep to and my brother really does not have the money to fix it. Will take some time for them to get the money together. Even on top of this, the wreckers charged my brother 200 dollars to take the jeep less then 3 miles to my house where he is storing it until it is fixed. Sad uh?

Now good news then. Today I received an email that I had won a raffle. This is part of the online surveys I do for extra cash. I won a 50 dollar Amazon Gift Card. I already spent it. I bought Outlaw Star complete, Titan A.E. and Blue Submarine #6. It was a total of around 65 dollars so I did have to spend 15 dollars of my own money but still not bad. I also got the free shipping deal Amazon offers so I did not have to spend money on the shipping. It will take longer to get here but I am in no hurry. I have already seen those three anime. I own the VHS version of Titan A.E.

I also did some work for 12Comics.com I do some stuff for them from time to time. Upload images, take comics and upload to scribd and other website duties. I get some cash and that helps me out a lot because I am still looking for a full time job.

A friend I play Guild Wars with told me she is going to go to Game Stop and pick me up a copy for my Trial account I started. I told her she did not have to but she insisted because of all the help I give her. ^^

A lot to type and was all over the place but just typing out my daily life.
