Gaming

Meanwhile. I'm on my third ship, now with loads of cargo space and engines and stuff. I have travelled bazillions of light years and almost burned to death many many times, occasionally getting stuck to planets, and getting booted out of the game on both evenings that I played it.

And I reverted to Banished which seems considerably easier. Except I now can't produce as much firewood and tools as those little fellas running around on the screen needs. And I've had a few deaths but so far they've been due to accidents and child birth, so nothing I need to take credit for...

Well, levelling up t0 10 in GW2 is fairly easy - although it would usually take a full day of gaming for me, so going through all races and professions in the time you've had is impressive.

I have a Norn guardian too and quite like her but my fav is my Norn ranger. I do prefer characters that work well in solo play - and guardians are one of those "healing the team" kind of characters. Though unlike many other RPGs/MMOs they can also deal a decent amount of damage. And among my "magic users" I think I like my elementalists the best, though mesmers can apparently be quite powerful and useful if you play them right. I guess I don't...

Oh and remember to try several types of weapons for each profession, too I like longbows and pistols, mostly, but staves and greatswords are good too. My guardian tends to wield a wand. (Makes for many quick successive attacks - suits players like me and Val who mostly spam the attack number keys.)
