Back to Being a Newb
At the request/suggestion/prodding of one of my friends, I started playing Guild Wars tonight on a trial key (something like 14 days or 10 hours, whichever comes first). I’d say that I’ve played about 2 hours so far, and overall I have a favorable opinion of it. It suffers a little bit from “SWG Syndrome” at the start, but seeing as how I’m now an MMO veteran, that didn’t pose any issues to me at all. There are still a couple oddities for me that I’m not sure whether they’re intrinsic parts of the game or just options/controls I haven’t learned or customized yet, but nothing giant that turns me off from playing it. I think it’ll definitely end up being a purchase (especially since there is no monthly fee).
Tomorrow is finally going to be a movie day, but as for which movie I’m not sure yet. It’ll be one of Pirates 3, Shrek 3, or Ocean’s Thirteen (I thought Evan Almighty was out already, but it doesn’t premiere until next week). I’m a little last on seeing those first two, but they will get seen. After all, when’s the last time I missed seeing a high profile movie at a movie theater??
