The Blue Fox Alley

Most otakus will always reject the notion of being called an Otaku, I guess if you count games as an otaku hobby, I might admit to be one. Based how you answer simple questions like ‘how’s your weekend?’ or ‘how are you.’ For the past 2-3 months, the GREAT P-Meister has been indulging in a particular game, called Guild Wars. I have been playing it since late 2005 but it was more of a social thing until this year’s feb. One day, a friend, nicknamed Chicken, texted me on msn.

My Conversation

Chicken: Hey, how’s life?

P-Meister: Wonderful, I got my third destroyer weapon today!

Chicken: WTF is a destroyer weapon?

P-Meister: Uh… nvm.

Chicken: Oh no, I got to go cook myself, tata!

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP, THIS CONVO REALLY HAPPENED!!! Lucky for me, I’ve known him for quite a long time and he knows I’m quite an indulgent in games and anime.

About Guild Wars

Anyways, to sum it up, destroyer weapons are expensive weapons u get in Guild Wars, and are the only weapons that will net you something in GW2. Anything that you put in your hall in Guild Wars will be brought over, basically it takes a lot of GRINDING to put things in your hall..  Here’s some pictures to show what happened!

First, I enter the hall with my trusted Ruby Djinn and my brand new Destroyer Bow!

Next, I set my destroyer bow onto my hall.

Then, I oogle at parts of the hall i have completed.

Right after, I look at the areas which I have yet to be completed.

Finally, I move out, with my Ruby Djinn! Time to go for more adventures to find more things to put in my hall!

GW2 is said to have its beta in late 2008, which means the GW2 game itself would probably be released in 2009!! Thats half a year more. Sadly, I’ve only started 3 months ago(I suddenly decided to creat a new character out of the blue). Alas! The great P-Meister with his great skill and experience quickly filled up his hall. It won’t be long before i fill it up already.

For those who wish to invest in GW2, its not hard to leech the original GW from somebody who already have it but can’t play due to the ties of the real world. As GW1 owners who bring things over to GW2 have been mentioned by arenanet to look significantly better than those who only purchased GW2, its not too late to start scavenging whatever you have to put in your hall. I only play 1-2 hrs a day.

To all those who do not know Guild Wars, basically its one of the best things to happen in MMORPG world. It has one of the best online communities in online world! Nuff said! Back to my conversation….

About my Conversation

Ok… as a tip to otakus from the great and legendary P-Meister, sometimes its ok to leak out a little something to the people you talk to. If they ask you how’s your day? You say, ‘WONDERFUL, THIS WEEK’S SOUL EATER IS SO GREAT!!’ or something like that. You will never know how many of your friends are otakus like you!!. Of 8 people who I hanged out with often when exams weren’t near, 4 of them were anime fans and 5 of them watch anime! HOHOHO! 3/8 of them have DS! Sadly, none of them indulge into their DS as much as me! Sigh…

Conclusion

As more people now embrace the Japanese culture, it is normal to be desperate for anime and games. Being an otaku is only human nature. I await a day where all people become otakus and nobody will talk bad about otakus anymore. Hail OTAKUISM!

ID SOJOURNER INTERVENES: HAHA. WHUT? That is not going to happen because for example you will never be interested in your mum sharing fun facts of her daily life with you. People will always lack empathy for others and you are guilty of that as well! HAHA.

By the way, not everyone agrees with ya. Heheheh.

I AM ID SOJOURNER. PEACE!
