Guild Wars 2 digital download code giveaway
« on: March 12, 2014, 08:02:45 pm »

So yeah. A snafu with their ordering system left me $50 out of pocket and with an extra serial code for the digital heroic edition. If you don't know what GW2 is, it's a 3rd person fantasy MMO with no charges beyond the initial purchase of the game, supposedly anti-grind, and from what I've read is pretty fun. Oh, and there is large-scale three-way inter-server PvP.

There's no point in letting that second code go to waste, so I'm giving it away. If you want it, post something creative to enter for the drawing. A poem, a drawing, a short story, a little video--whatever tickles your fancy, as long as it's your work. I'll leave this open until March 21st-ish, then run everyone who has entered through a list randomizer as per normal procedure for these things.

Cheers!

Not so much a short story as a little scene of a battle. I hope this counts!

I already have GW2 CE so I'm not entering, but just want to say thanks for thinking of us for the offloading of lootz. :)

This Wicked Rose I hold in hand,
This Wretched Sin of mine;
these wounds I bear,
this soul I wear,
I'll keep for all of time.

How about a nice little poem?

Guild Wars

Chicago is known for brutal winters.
Nobody talks about the brutal summers.
The lack of air conditioning.
The way the black asphalt absorbs the heat,
spits it back out at night
and refuses to let the black sky
cool the city below.

Newly arrived, jobless,
I scrape together $50,
bike to the game shop
and bring home a new copy of Guild Wars.

I race around the land,
hoping the heat that eats at me from through the window,
forces me to put my shirt over the back of my chair
to absorb the sweat
doesn't overheat my computer
so I can get one more level,
find a path through the desert,
survive in the lava-fields.



It's not my best work, but I don't typically write about vidya games.

If tomorrow ends with no more entries I'll go ahead and do the drawing.
