Guild Wars: Guardian of Tyria

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Tyria’s latest Guardian?
Guild Wars: Guardian of Tyria
I completed my 25th and final Prophecies mission in Hard Mode over the weekend to earn my second Guardian title for my Mesmer.

Overall, it wasn’t especially difficult to earn it playing with Heroes and Henchmen. The toughest missions were Dunes of Despair and Aurora Glade and aside from those, the missions were mostly tedious rather than challenging.

Takara Tomy VideoClip.
A 12,600yen multimedia player that records directly from a TV set. It has a 1.8cm 128×160 TFT LCD display, 256MB built-in memory (which holds 2 hours of video or 15 hours of music in MPEG-4 format) and also takes SD cards up to 1GB in size. I want one. I also one that transforms into Soundwave.

Jam Project Forever.
One of my favourite groups. They do sound ragged here but that’s only understandable considering the Power of Justice they unleash when they cut loose. I recommend getting one of their Best Of compilations.

Weekly Guild Wars comic coming?
“My friend has been offered by Arena.net to do his comic for Guild Wars on a weekly basis and get paid for it.” The only comic I’d want to read regularly is Guilt Wars.

“You have been playing for 1 day.”

Stingray intro.
The big hook in the show was he’d help you but in return you’d have to do a favour for him with no questions asked. I don’t remember much of the series but I did have an overwhelming desire to own a ’69 Chevrolet Stingray after watching it.

The A-Team.
A remake by Peter Jackson. (Okay, not really.)

Whiz Kids intro.
I lusted after all that computer equipment once.
