guild wars

i installed guild wars today. lordkilljoy gave me a 14 day trial to see how i like it. it's fun enough, and the world is so pretty. as i do with pretty games, i spent most of the time i played it today wandering around going: awh - that's so pretty. so i'm playing a mesmer / ranger. i wasn't sure what else would suit a mesmer, and rangers get pets, so i thought "why not?"

i watched a film called "the fountain" last night. it was interesting. it affected me the same way requiem for a dream did (it's the same director). it is very different to anything else i've seen, but i would recommend it if you like indie / alternative movies. it's not quite arthouse, but it's close.

aether_muse is back after her trip to america. it was good to see her again today.

we've got black hawk down to watch tonight. i saw it when it was in the cinema and even though i don't remember anything about it, i seem recall that it was good.

not much else to say. i'm quite looking forward to going adventuring around ascalon with lordkilljoy. it'll be something interesting, because the only other experience i have with mmos was with aether_muse when she tried to get me into wow.

right. i'm gone.

[edit - actually, i just want to say that jeremy soule totally did the music for guild wars. while i was waiting for 12,223 files to download before i could play the game there was some music playing and i was totally in bruma in cyrodill. it made me want to play oblivion again and wander around the cold northern areas in the falling snow. ahhh oblivion.]
