Nightfall Hard Mode: Consulate Docks

Guild Wars Nightfall Hard Mode: Consulate Docks Varesh
Having acquired the Protector of Cantha, Guardian of Cantha and Guardian of Tyria titles for my Mesmer in Guild Wars, I was 3/5 towards the Kind Of A Big Deal title and 3/6 towards the Legendary Guardian title. I logged on to Guild Wars today for the first time in seven weeks and headed over to Kamadan in order to grab the next title on the list: Guardian of Elona.

The Wintersday celebration is still going on so the Jewel of Istan was seeing a lot of the white stuff.

Living as I do in a tropical country, I’m only vaguely familiar with what passes for appropriate winterwear but I’m pretty damned sure a miniskirt is not the best way to go.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions review

(Original image source: Final Fantasy Wiki.)

From the Durai Papers:

“I know not what brings men joy. Of what drives them to great deeds, of what legacies they hope to leave, I know less yet. But I do know this: The true hero of this tale was the man forgotten.”

Final Fantasy Tactics: the War of the Lions is the 2007 Playstation Portable remake of an acclaimed Playstation title that was first released in 1997.

Mike O’Brien and Jeff Strain interviewed. [via]
“In Guild Wars 2, you’ll be playing in one persistent world. And, periodically, your world will connect to different worlds. And we’ll be competing for shared resources that can benefit our world.

If I am a high level player, I could try to take a key fortress.”

Robert Garriott on NCsoft’s 2007. [via]
“… Guild Wars 2, which players anticipate seeing on store shelves in 2009.”
