User:GW-Vanessa

I am a 25 year old girl. I live in China, but I travel to many different countries for business.

I have been playing GW for almost 2 years. I have been visiting/using the wiki for almost as long, though I only recently began contributing.

Feel free to PM me in-game. I always like meeting new people.

My GW Favorites
Favorite Armor: Eve's...Easy choice; nothing comes close really. I'd trade my FoW armor, my gold, ectos, EVERYTHING in-game for a set of Her armor. (and yes, I capitalized "Her" for a reason. :)

Favorite Campaign: Prophecies...by a mile...I just love how big it is, the music, and it gets better and more fun each time I play it.

Favorite Zone: Jaya Bluffs. This is the only zone in my opinion that compares with pre-searing Tyria (and in ONE zone) for beauty and fun.

Favorite Music: Pre-searing, though the special music in Granite Citadel and Deldrimor War Camp (with the flutes and violins) is a CLOOOOSE second. What hurts its case is that you have to sit in the outposts to hear it :(

Favorite Guild: KaiZ (the best group of players in matters of skill, game-knowledge, friendliness and fun in all of GW; no other guild comes close in my opinion)

Favorite Item Skins:
 * Wand: Bortak's Bone Claw
 * Staff: Boneclaw Staff
 * Focus: Lian's Lantern
 * Sword: Crystalline Sword (trite? maybe...but you all agree this skin rocks)
 * Axe: Icy Blade Axe (though I am sure I would prefer the Tormented Axe skin if I had one, but alas, I do not :)
 * Shield: Sun and Moon Shield or Vabbian Tower Shield (I love them both)
 * Hammer: Mursaat Hammer
 * Bow: Mursaat Hornbow
 * Scythe: Tormented Scythe
 * Spear: ??? (do they look any different?)
 * Daggers: Ancient Daggers

Favorite Dance: Female Dervish, followed by Female Ritualist

Favorite Quest: The Villainy of Galrath

Favorite Mission: Thunderhead Keep

Favorite Boss: Maw The Mountain Heart  (coolest boss, coolest name, and he spawns wherever he damn-well feels like it)  >:)

Favorite Hero: Olias (cuz he MM's so I dont have to :)

Favorite Henchie: Eve (cuz her armor is sexy, and she BR's so I don't have to :)

Favorite God: Grenth (hey, I'm a necro at heart, what'd you expect?)

Favorite Elite Skill: Assassin's Promise

Favorite Non-Elite Skill: Barbs (especially when Olias is MM'ing for me) >:)

Favorite Comic Movie: A Fish Called Wanda

Favorite Dramatic Movie: Schindler's List

Favorite Action Movie: The Replacement Killers

Favorite Sports Movie: Rocky

Favorite Suspense Movie: The Birds (Hitchcock)

Favorite Scary Movie: Ju-On (tis a Japanese movie, later re-made in Hollywood as "The Grudge" with Sarah Michelle Gellar, but the original is 100 times scarier, and though I have seen it many times, I STILL cannot watch it alone, nor can I sleep easily the night I watch it)

Favorite Musical: An American In Paris

Favorite Anime Movie: Akira

Favorite CGI Movie: Final Fantasy: Advent Children...I played Final Fantasy VII and loved it. I cried so hard at that one point (if you played it, you KNOW the part I am talking about, but for those that didn't, I dont want to spoil it). And I ALWAYS cry at the points in Advent Children that relate to that moment from FF7

Favorite Traditionally Animated Movie: The Lion King

Favorite Black and White Movie: Tie. Pi, Night of the Hunter, Touch of Evil, Citizen Kane

Favorite Documentary: Hoop Dreams

Favorite Short Film: Stalker Guilt Syndrome (try to find it)

Favorite Quote: "Nihilists!...I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.." Walter (John Goodman) in The Big Lebowski

Favorite Living Director: Ridley Scott

Favorite Deceased Director: Orson Welles

Favorite Writer: David Mamet

Favorite Deceased Writer: Shakespeare :D

Favorite Living Actor: Brad Pitt

Computer Game Favorites
Favorite Male Heros: Cloud (Final Fantasy VII) and Kratos (God of War)

Favorite Male Villain: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)

Favorite Female Villain: (hard to say, female villains in games seem to always "see the light" and become good by then end, which is pretty lame imo)

Favorite Game Stories: God Of War, Final Fantasy VII and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Favorite Game Plot Twist: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Favorite Games to Replay: Bionic Commando (NES) and Super Metroid (SNES)

Favorite Retired Player: Michael Jordan

Favorite NBA Moment: When Michael Jordan had the flu in the NBA finals against Utah, but he scored 38 points, including the game-winning shot. Scottie Pippen almost had to carry him off the court. I thought this was a true indication of Jordan's desire and passion for the game of basketball.

Special Thanks
To Lamees for letting me use his character page setup and helping me with this.

To all in KaiZ: you have made me the player I am today. I have learned more about GW from you guys in 2 months than I had in the 18 months before. Thanks everyone!
