Merry Christmas! (2012)

We survived the end of the world so we got to celebrate Christmas! Hooray.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you get to spend some nice time with your family and others you love.
I've been to 3 Christmas 'parties' (ah awesome, those divorced parents). They were mostly okay. I didn't take many pictures this year though, sorry.







Table decoration and pie!











My aunt made a turkey for Christmas. It looks so cool.











Santa musicians in Antwerp.











This are the presents I got, except the book. I bought that book today for myself. I also got a new pajama and a new sweater!











I made this little box out of cardboard for my father and his girlfriend, inside there was a note.











I found out I didn't show new picture of my papercraft yet! I finally finished the boots so he can stand up now. It's pretty impressing... My cousins asked where I bought this doll. Haha. Just one page left with details such as a belt and daggers. I'm so excited!













Here are already two of those details. A belt on the side and his hidden dagger!











To make a long story short, I got a car I can use for two weeks. It feels pretty cool to have a car for my own. I didn't drive that much with it yet but still... It's mine! For two weeks... I attached a key chain at it, one I got from Gabriella.

Running around with Dino

It saddens me a little that the following screenshots don't include Gabriella much. I've been helping Dino out with questing while Gabriella wasn't home, sooo...




Dino dies pretty much and I'm not sure whether he forgets to repair his stuff or that he dies so much he doesn't get the chance to repair his armour... In any case, I found him dead AND shirtless one time. I'm so glad he's human...











In most small towns, forts, there is magical snow where you can make a snowman. Snowballs!!!













Bjorn caught up with us, showing off his new piece of 'armour.' A bag with presents!














When I try saving Dino he's often surrounded by the monsters that killed him. Sometimes there's one, sometimes 2 or 3. Sometimes there are just... many... And since I really want to save Dino I have to deal with all of them. I experienced a few near death moments. But it was all part of the plan to revive him!










I lead Dino and Bjorn up on the hill where you find diving goggles. Hehe.













It was difficult to deal with this two guys. I might say some perverted comments sometimes but... They're MUCH WORSE! Oh, Dino's suit is bugged here.










I saw a little house and I got really curious and wanted to look inside. When I ran inside I realized that this was the place the Champion was hidden. Run!











Dead Dino.











Dino's story line. The drinking quest. I'm glad I didn't have to do that one again.












Every time we noticed a boss monster near we ran to it to kill it. They're fun!











Found a simple axe. My '1' key said 'Slash'. So I pressed it and this happened. Uh, what?











Everywhere in the world there are weapons or scrap you can pick up to fight with. Simple sticks, bones, hammers, zombie arms and much more. They mostly break after a few hits though.












Watching Dino who's doing a quest I can't help with.











Snow, check. Cherry tree, check. Present in the distance, check. My cute black bear Bearlock, check.











I barely survived here. I got downed a few times but managed to get back alive every time. It was actually fun to do and Dino enjoyed watching me running back and forth with a horde of monsters behind me.















More boss monsters and Christmas toy monsters.















And I reached the maximum level! Level 80! Hooray!











I got this helmet from Gabriella and I bought the rest on the market. I like my new set.













Screenshots from Gabriella. She often does jump puzzles, they give nice rewards. There are also jump puzzles in World vs World. The 'invaders' (other worlds) change every now and then. This times the invaders are pretty mean. They go to the jump puzzles and kill everyone who tries to do them.












Gabriella said she had never seen this many rams at one small gate from a tower before. 











A gate under water.











Gabriella placed rams in front of a gate and started attacking a tower all alone. Other players from our world started to help her out. Her first victory lead by herself! Congratulations!











But she didn't keep it for long. Soon after she captured it the enemy came to claim it back.

A Dino for Christmas

Before I tell you about 'A Dino for Christmas' I have other things to tell.





Me and Gabriella decided it's better to explore than to play World vs World when we play together. Not only does my computer crash when I'm in too big fights in World vs World (oh how I hate that) but we also stay together more when we're exploring (Gabriella keeps running off in World vs World).

We're getting good at taking screenshots but sometimes unexpected things happen when trying to take a screenshot.









We decided to head south and explore a new part of the map there. First we had to run through places we had been before. I was leading and pretty much failed at that. On this screenshot I'm running off a cliff, where I died. Gabriella almost jumped after me but realized right on time that I lay dead below. 











I totally ran in a wrong cave after that and we met some nice Veteran spiders.









I decided to use my Pig for a while as pet. It's hilarious how he stands out in fights. He just doesn't seem to fit in the picture...









We found this really nice waterfall. We took loads of screenshots of it. 













Love is... jumping off cliffs together and dying together. Sniff.









I randomly found this arm somewhere. Time to make bad jokes about it!











Then Gab ran into this Hero. He ran around killing monsters all naked. We're his biggest fans. (He's human!!!)









And then she ran (swam?) into this shark. She barely survived.









Gab went AFK for a while and when she came back she planted a flower on me. It makes this noise and my speakers were on, I shocked. Then we continued! Pooping...











This side quest is my favourite quest. First we transformed into a Pink Moa...














Then we got to play with explosives! Instead of placing them and running away, we placed them and danced on them till it exploded. So much fun...










Gabriella is Sherlock.













When we arrived in a big town we decided to stop for the day. We discovered a lot new (scary) places. When we were about to log out we found this cats where you could play with and an awesome chair.











Last week Dino got Guild Wars 2! For the people who don't know Dino (everyone knows him, seriously..) he played Flyff with me and lead TDF with me. When he bought Guild Wars 2 I created a guild. I don't think it'll become very active or anything but running around with 'TDF' above my head makes me secretly somewhat happy.

We met up with Dino in Queensdale (he created a human, hooray!) and started to show off our dance skills. I don't think he was very impressed though.









We followed Dino around when he was doing some side quests. We ran into a bandit camp and the exit lead  into a house. I ran first and when I ran through the door I realized you could close it. Right before Gabriella and Dino ran through it I closed it. Giggles.











And Christmas arrived in Guild Wars! Lion's Arch is all white and has so much Christmas decorations. It's awesome!











Besides that there are two 'mini games' to play and there are present spread all through the world. 










When you open them they explode. Monsters and some presents appear out of it. The monsters are mostly with quite many so it's pretty tricky. But it's totally worth it! The presents contain... Smelly socks? Ugly wool sweaters and... Old hats?

You can exchange those in Lion's Arch for something better though.










There are also spots where you can make a snowman! The snowman makes snowballs and you can throw them.











And then there are this little adorable Quaggan calves with a Christmas hat. Too... cute...












I went off exploring on my own a bit and discovered a lot nice places.




















And we played some more with Dino. We just followed him around and helped him out while he was doing quests.










I realized that the quests were much easier for me now. Of course I got a higher level now but your level get reduced when you go to lower level places.











For Gabriella. El Roboto.










Sometimes we'd just slack off while Dino was fighting. (Dino is the tiny spot in the distance).











When Vlad came online we joined him to do the Christmas toy maker's quest. It's in that big balloon you see above the city!










Inside there is a toy world with living toys. Of course they started to malfunction and we had to stop them from ruining the place. It was a pretty difficult quest and I doubt you can do it with less than 5 people. But it was fun!














When we were done me and Gabriella played around a little with the presents.

Merry Christmas because glue is mean.













Gabriella's right. The snowballs got weird shapes. It looks more melting vanilla ice cream. 












When someone makes a snowman he/she holds automatically a snowball. Which means they can get hit by snowballs! (You can't hit someone without snowball). I had some fun standing at the snowman knocking everyone down who made a snowman.










Till Gabriella came... Then I was hungry for snow.
