What's In A Name?

Whenever I'm in a town or outpost in Guild Wars, I take a minute to look at the names people have given to their characters. I love names - I think they're very important, and I love to see how creative people can be. Here are some of the names I've noted (some are misspelled by the creators - usually because their original idea had already been used):

Dolls To The Wallss
Llywelyns Shadow
Boring Yawn Yawn
I Am a Mexy Sezmer (mezmer)
(guild): Smot Pokers
Hey New Person [cute] - the [xx] is a guild tag, like a guild named Face the Fire has a tag [FF]
The Cloaked Guy (a ranger, I think)
Obie Quiet (that's one of my favorites)
Hama Kaze
Mud Stuffin
Celestial Moonwind (I think this was a monk)
Player Vs God
(guild): Grawls Gone Wild
Speared Ur Azz (a Sunspear, either Paragon or Dervish)
Booty Booty Rockin
Nano Chip (another favorite)
I Need A Name Please
Derves You Right (Dervish)
Para Gone Crazy (Paragon)

See, some use wordplays, some try to match the name to their character's "personality" (that's what I do), some use names from music or books or movies (I use book characters, too), and some just make something up. It's fun to see what they come up with. :-)

Beautiful landscapes, cool new interface stuff, new professions, new skills, new pets, & more fun!

That's where I've been this weekend, in-between regular household stuff & visiting friends. :-)

I hope everyone's having fun!

You think sharks are bad? Throw a little bread to a school of catfish...



We could hear them grabbing it. Pop! Pop-pop! Pop!

(These guys were outside that same restaurant where the froggy waved hello to us). :-)

Mmm...Ice Cream

You Are Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Creative. Expressive. Unique.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

Life in Tyria

(Tyria is the game world of Guild Wars)

My elementalist/monk character has finished the last of the game storyline missions in the first chapter of Guild Wars (Prophecies), but still has a ton of fun stuff to do there, and she just turned one year old the other day. As a birthday gift, she received a mini-pet. He's a (miniature) jungle troll. Thing is so ugly he's cute. She also has her 15k armor, which we dyed orange - looks great! Here are a few pictures of the outfit and the pet:

Pretty hot, huh? Erm, the outfit, not the pet. LOL

Another Critter

This is one of the froggies that was on the outside walls of a restaurant we went to (that's right on the water) while we were in Cape Canaveral to (not) see the shuttle launch.

Look, he's waving hello!

Pretty Buggie

This is a moth I found hanging out at school one day. Yes, it's alive.
