Sacred Jumping Mail

Just remembered something I wanted to share... something that is related to.. you guessed it, Guild Wars 2.

Just a few things that makes me laugh.

In MMO games, you can recive mail, both from other players, and npc's (non-playing characters, in other words, computer characters). Normally you would have to visit a mailbox in order to get them, or you can just open what ever mail you get from where ever you are, like in GW2. But its the way you are informed that you have gotten mail that is so awesome.
As soon as a mail has arrived, you can see, very quickly I might add, a white bird (probebly a pigeon) fly down towards your head and then swoop up and fly away.
Thats how you get mail.
The funny thing is, that you are not the only one that can see it... everyone else can too. And you can see when others get mail... couse you see that bird all of the sudden swoop down from the skies to the players head and then wisp away.
I love that... makes it so much more fun to get mail, knowing a bird just delivered it to you :)

Captain?

I did a "jumping puzzle" on sunday night that was quite fun too.. hard, but fun. Now, a jumping puzzle is basicly what it sounds like. In order to solve the puzzle and get the "phat loot", you have to jump around to various points, if you miss, you usually have to start from scratch, can be annoying as hell if you are having difficulties with a section of the puzzle, like one in Sylvari lands that had you pushed of ledges and what not by wind that was hard to predict.
But this one reminded me of a movie... The Goonies. When they find the pirate ship towards the end. Even had the dead captain in the room with the chest of loot in it. Loved it.

At one place, in Norn country, I found a "heart" quest that had me scare rabbits towards Sacred Owls... so the owls could eat the rabbits.
Laughed my ass off.

I also did another heart quest that had me answer a bunch of questions.

Lets see if you know this one, its not hard, and it was even easier for me as I got to choose between three answers.

"I come from all who grow, crawl, and walk. I am the perfect hunter. In the end, I am the victor. What is my name?"

Chicken Blade!

Been busy playing GW2... so thats one reason I haven't written anything for a bit.
Was also busy doing my fiancée this weekend... another good reason to not wright blog entries ;)

Speaking of this weekend. I cought a movie on tv, late at night, that I haven't seen in a long time. Billy Elliot ... and I have to admite, that the first time I saw that movie... I cried. And it is definitely in the top 10 movies of all time (according to me atleast).
Not that I have an official top 10 list of my favorite movies... But its up there, competing with movies like Braveheart, Fight Club, The Crow, The Shawshank Redemption and so on and so on.

My stout norn warrior Garm has made it to the 40's, actually, last I played him, he was 49 :) And he looks good too.
All that golden armour, I've bought. The giant sword on his back thou I made myself. I'll get you a better look on that later.

Come a bit on his personal story, and as I progressed, I made the choise of joining the Vigil. Basicly an army of warriors and soldiers. I thought that was fitting for a norn with a big ass blade.


Or...

A norn with a big ass Chicken.

Death, awesome and Garm

Just saw that a great actor of hollywood has passed away... not fun. Michael Clarke Duncan was a very funny and large man that made almost all movies he was in better by default. My personal choice of greatest MCD movie, has to be The Green Mile.

Also found this little thing in more hollywood related things, about Keanu Reeves, 7 true stories about him. Goddamn, that man is a saint and just a whole heap of better person then I will ever be, and I hope he lives to be a hundred... or more... unless his bike riding kicks him to the grave a bit earlier ofcourse.

The GW2 Necromancer has been put on the shelf... no, I am NOT bored with the game, I just picked up a warrior instead, same race thou.. I immediately fell in love with the Norn race... my little steroid vikings.
This time around thou, I made a him, as in, a male, with a hugh facial tattoo covering half his face with blue color from his nose down, even half his ears are covered, looks freakin awesome!!!

And since I figured out how to work with the crafting, I am now ahead with both armorsmithing and weaponsmithing on this Norn Warrior called Garm Greysteel.

I leave you with this... "Love is like a fart... if you have to force it, its probebly crap."

and this...

Pooping Necrons!!

Sunday evening... just got home from mom's new place and I was definitly over dressed for the ride to and from... goddamn I was pouring sweat from all corners of my popsicle-shaped body.
Had to poop something aweful too when I got home... good thing I live alone, couse I would't recommend anyone to enter that room, for the next 2-3 hours :P

In GW2 news, its fun.

Need more you say? Sure why not. Its so fun I actually forget to jerk of at night... too much info? Got it.

Fun fact thou.. I just figured out the whole crafting system. Took me almost a week, but fuck, some things takes time.

Btw, this is what my lovely Necromancer looks like... usually anyway.

The image is "shoot" where I had low settings on.. gonna make it better later, but I needed to see if my cpu heat got down due to it... and no, it didn't.

Well thats enough for tonight

Day One!!!

Day one of Guild Wars 2 is here. Bought the game, got it installed, got the account made, all went without a hitch.

I created a Norn Necromancer, female... reason to a female choise? The males didn't have good beards :P
I know its silly to not create a male just becouse of that, but considering how the Norn look, like giant vikings on steroids, I want them to have awesome beards. Like full beards with braides and shit. But nope, just some minor beards with said braids.

Anyway, I got to around lvl 6ish, I think, and then the game told me they were going to restart the game for a minor update.. so I thought, great, I'll take that time to go get my package from the post office that contained more RAM's, which is now installed, so I now have 8gb of ram instead of the low 4.

But after that... it sucked.

Seemed as thou they have some issues with the loggin on the european servers... so no more gaming for a bit. Gonna try again every 15 minutes or so.

One last thing... the game is fun. But I have virtually no idea what I am doing :P

The Plague and A Day

It would seem as thou I have contracted... THE PLAGUE!!!

Yea yea, I know, its not the plague, its just fever and a cold. But when we guys get sick, its the plague. Deal with it.
Woke up at 4 in the morning with a nightmare, and I only have nightmares when I have fever. So it took my exactly 4 seconds for me to realize, after I opened my eyes to escape the wierd darkness I was trapped in in my dream on my way home from work, that I had fever... it took another 4-5 seconds to actually feel the fever. It sometimes takes awhile before the body, after waking up from deep sleep, to figure out something is wrong... for me.. about 10 seconds.

I took a painkiller that also helps to fight fever, then went back to sleeping. Woke up about an hour and a half before the alarm, and thats when I realized, quite quicker I assure you, that I couldn't breath trough my nose.
The cold part of this dreaded plague had hit.

This evening I started freezing again, so the fever got new life I suppose, and it hurt like hell to hold a frozen pizza in my fingers.

I do hope I'm better by tomorrow... becouse...

Tomorrow I will be, sick or not, taking my bike to buy Guild Wars 2. Official launch is here (tomorrow that is, tuesday the 28th), and I am longing to start installing it and creating my account. Granted, I will probebly not be playing all that much seeing as I will still be sick, minor we hope, but still.
Hell, even if I turn out to be well, that the Nordic Plague of Doom, has stopped killing me softly, I will still be smart and take it easy, and be in bed early, aswell as taking naps and stuff after meals.
Rest, drink and some nutritions and I should be fine by the time I need to be back at work.. aswell as the 50 year party on saturday in Sthlm.

Cross your fingers (or hold your thumbs) that the plague will die.. and not me :P

6 Premium Trains!

I called the people that gave me the premium, the 5 grand I was talking about in the previous blog entry, and asked if I could use it for rent... no.
So I guess I'm gonna have them change my floor in the kitchen instead. Right now it yellow... but its not yellow-yellow... it "10 year old yellow that has seen better days" -yellow. Depending what it costs, I might get new kitchen cabinets while I'm at it.. they are yellow too... and it has always bugged me.. yellow like that is NOT good looking.

But I'll go see em next week, tomorrow is work, as usual, but what is not, is my trip to Gothenburg the day after. By train. Yea, I'm gonna spend the weekend in Gothenburg, sleep at dad's place, and make the town on saturday. Home sunday afternoon.

6 days remaining until Guild Wars 2 is in my hands too... or in my computer more like it, atleast if we are going to be exact, not like I'm gonna have it in my hand at 1 in the freakin morning, by then, its gonna be installed and the disc with box is gonna be stowed away among the rest of the game boxes, WoW, WAR, SW ToR, DoW.. lot of abbreviations there, if you know em all, YOU can try and win the GRAND PRIZE!!! A blue air guitarr in optional colour! Runner up wins a dead ant! Hurry and play, you might win!!!

Anyway, thats it for now.
