My brother alerted me to this first, but “The Storm Warriors” (風雲II), the upcoming sequel to a semi-popular Hong Kong movie, is using the first 22 or so seconds of the Guild Wars theme song on their official website. For a movie with a HK$100 million budget, you’d expect them to compose their own music (unless, of course, they bought the copyright to the song / had permission otherwise)!

Here is a sample of the Guild Wars (Guild Wars Prophecies) opening theme song: DirectSong > Guild Wars > 01 – Opening Theme.

Here is the movie’s official site: Traditional Chinese version, Simplified Chinese version or English version.

This is my expression after I heard the song on the movie’s official site:

Because nobody asked, here’s yet another mega Guild Wars screenshot-heavy post! Non-gamers or non-GW-gamers may completely ignore this. Edit: Also, I can’t stop editing and adding new pics to this post as I find them.

As of April 11th, 2008, accounts from the Taiwan / Hong Kong / Macau region have been moved to the US servers and are no longer isolated from the rest of the world. Now we have more travelling options than ever!

Now, this is what I call a tasteful April Fools’ joke. Qwantz.com is xkcd, xkcd.com is Questionable Content, questionablecontent.net is Dinosaur Comics (qwantz.com).

Compared to some horrible, tasteless joke…

Shutting down Taiwanese Guild Wars servers? Give me a break.

Wait. It… it’s really just a joke, right? It has to be? Please?

Zho lost her eye to a Black Moa while saving some pansy named Nehdukah, and had since developed a fear of the bird and all birds in general. Plagued by nightmares for years, she decided to tame the very beast in an attempt to overcome the fear, and ended up bringing up her own Black Moa chick and gradually recovered from the memories of the horrid accident.

I don’t recall any particular incident with any particular insect that caused my rather severe phobia of all and any insects. Now, maybe if I get a beetle for a pet, and maybe a caterpillar, and a grasshopper, and a moth, and a butterfly, and a scorpion, and a spider, and a cockroach, and a bee, and…

You know what? Never mind.

Yes, I like to speak of game NPCs like some real-life friends. </loser>
