[Column] Guild Wars 2: 'LOL'

While Guild Wars 2 has a desperate 'save the world' plot line, there are also plenty of laugh out loud moments in the game. In our latest GW2 column, we take a look at the LOLs. Read on and then add your LOLs to the comments.
While Guild Wars 2 has some really epic moments, it’s also got a lot of humor and silly fun tucked away for players to find. One of my favorite moments while playing Guild Wars 2 happens in the land of Ascalon. A Charr can be found near his awesome and must peculiar invention. This farmer created a catapult, but not just any catapult. This thing fires cows! By helping to deliver a fresh herd of ammo, players can watch in amazement as cows are fired out at great distances. Players can even take bets as to how far they think a cow will fly.

[SPOILER] When making a Norn, if you took the storyline where you blacked out, it turns out you and a charr stole a tank. As you try to find out where you parked it, one of the NPC's states that you were yelling "I will not be insulted by a tree! Have at you, leafy!" to which your charr partner in crime replies "I remember that! Stupid tree..."
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
The NPC background noises in Destiny's Reach include various moaning women, which do bring the lulz at times. Incessant moaning.
And this conversation at the Asura gate in the Grove between an Asuran Gate Engineer and his Sylvari Assistant is amusing...
Asura Gate Engineer and his Sylvari Assistant in the Grove.
Sylvari: Your golem is strange… was strange.
Asura: You drove it away, you know that!? I’ve never seen a golem run that fast.
Sylvari: I just wanted to ask it a few questions.
Asura: Yeah I know. you guys are full of them.
Sylvari: Oh, yes. What’s it like to be a golem? Does it dream? Does it have a family?
Asura: That was the last straw, you know. After that question about turtles in the desert you asked it about its mother.
Sylvari: So?
Asura: It doesn’t have a mother. It’s a golem. you crossed its circuits. I don’t know how you did it, but you weirded out MY golem.
Sylvari: So, you are the mother? Or the father?
Asura: What? Well, I… I guess I .. Oh no. you’re not getting in my head. You just stand there and help me monitor the gate.
Asura (to himself): Am I the mother? Blazing braces, this is what I get for working with the tree children.
i heard a women complaining to a soldier in destinies reach bringing the soldier in her house and not long after the back ground noise of fun begin lol so hilarious!
These are the reasons I still play GW2 long after the hype has died, it's writing is just "Trollol" at times.
Sure the plot may often come acrosss as a really bad 1980's hero's journey, but the comedy is gold.
The "I like turtles" thing cracked me up too. I had just learned of that lil' meme via Tosh.0
So needless to say I still tell people (despite being a sub to now...3 games) GW2 is awesome.
lol yea this is probably my favorite story segment of them allI angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Best moment summarized in one word:
Victorific.
The Asura kids and the Yo Mama jokes are epic. Or follow around the messenger golem for a while. Really, almost anywhere there are NPCs in Metric Province there will be hilarious Asura snark.
In Lion's Arch there's a Norn who asks the Asura gatekeeper, if she chases wounded prey through a gate, will the gate energy cauterize the wound? The gatekeeper sputters a bit and says "My ears, what an intreguing question!" and the Norn comes back with "What do your ears have to do with it??"
There's the quaggan who is too shy to ask if you taste like a hero (?!!)
There's the drunk singing quaggan in LA
The Norn in Hoelbrak commiserating to his freind that he's challenged his wife to an axe-throwing contest, and the domestic strife sure to follow.
But my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE so far is this exchange between a couple in Ascalon Settlement:
Him: "Do you want to go for a walk? Get some fresh air?"
Her: "I think that's a marvelous idea. Have I mentioned how much I love being married?"
Him: "You sure, you've only had three days of it, you're not tired of me yet?"
Her: "I'll never tire of you. Even centaurs couldn't come between us, I'm yours forever"
Him: "Forget the walk...lets go back inside."
Her *CHEER*
Fionna Hastings in Queensdale.
She's tied into an event where you have to protect her beehives from bears.
"You bears thought you could get your paws on my honey! But I know peope, DANGEROUS people!"
She's my favorite NPC in Queensdale if not Kryta.
"As you read these words, a release is seven days or less away or has just happened within the last seven days those are now the only two states youll find the world of Tyria."...Guild Wars 2
I love the golems singing "do do do do do"
hehe, but I think thats bug
I love the name 'OMNOMNOM Berries' just cracks me up.
GW2 has created the only game world that really feels alive to me and makes me *care* about it, and want to walk around and be in the world to know the people in every part of it. I've never been an "Explorer" on the Bartle Test, but my main in GW2 has turned out to be a Ranger who goes to complete maps just so I have an excuse to check out all the little clever scenes.
GW2 is, in a way, a refutation to Roger Ebert's curmudgeonly "Video Games Can Never Be Art" thesis -- it's gentle, pervasive endemic environmental art -- but art nevertheless. This is a living breathing world in a way that, for example, Bioware's portrayal of the Star Wars extended universe is not despite inheriting rich lore. It's charming, funny, occasionally has notes of horror and high fantasy or sword and sorcery or whatever -- but it all pulls together marvelously for the western audience.
Makes me wonder how it coheres for the other audiences it is localized to (voice/subtitles)?
