Exciting day on guild wars. I finally beat that hellishly hard trial of ascention named Elona. I then went on a celebratory killing spree on lv 10 hydras deep in the ascalonian wilderness. After that I decided to head back to face my Mirror Self in the final Rite of Ascention. At first I didn't know what I would do. The first time I died after a medium sized battle. The second I did some work with my skills, removing some necro skills like Blood Well that required a corpse and would be useless in a 1 on 1. Also, I had to keep in mind at all times that anything I took with me he would have but better. Well, that ruled taking a pet out. I tried apply poison, but quickly learned that he could use it a lot better...
After a couple more trial and error runs, I thought I had a dang good lineup of skills... But the best I could do was fight actively for 8 minutes in a stale mate. In that extremely long fight I learned an amazing truth that then made the rest of it incredibly simple. Of course i'm a ranger, so I can attatch a secondary close range weapon like an axe, but of course I can't hardly do any good damage with it. So I got an idea... I ran right up to him and continued to use my bow. He pulled out a very cool looking axe, but since I suck at axes, he does to! I kept up with the fight, but he had both of the healing spells I took, and that just wouldn't do. The next trial I beat it. I took careful thought into taking advantage of his close range weakness. I used only one healing spell and attatched concussive shot, so that when he tried to use that one spell I could use concussive shot to disable it for a while. Of course, I attatched as many bow attack skills as were practical, seeing as at close range they were useless to him. That did it. After a short and fun battle, I royally kicked his ass!
Well, after that I moved on a couple storyline quests, and captured some awesome elite skills from bosses. I eventually arrived in Draknor, the big Dwarf city, which totally rocks, because it has a unique arena. You can do 1 on 1 matches, or team up BEFORE you go in and compete with a like-numbered group. Of course, I'm sure this will be an option in the HoH, but for those of us stuck down here getting blown away by Murskaat (for villians it's way too much like muskrat), it's awesome, and arun I expect to be fighting along side you now.
Well, I joined a cool union, the Turn Based Strategy Union. Half the games on their panel I have on my desktop. I also got into a classic turn based game by the name of Civilization II. Maybe you've heard of it? Well, I was royally getting killed, but my space ship was almost prepared at 66% success rate. I was knocked down to three well defended cities by those damned Zulu, but that didn't stop me. I prepared some nukes and launched the ship. I had about 15 years to survive til the ship reached Alpha Centauri, proclaiming me victor, so I nuked the hell out of those zulu bastards! That's right, the completed A.S.S. Joe Jack (American) (I like to call it the Complete A.S.S.) reached it's destination! Does that mean I have to buy Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri now?
I also tried out this fun indie Mario game named Super Mario Pac, which is like classic 2d mario, except you have FLUDD from sunshine. Pretty fun... Now only if they'd add Yoshi and come out with Super Mario Joust.
