Guild Wars 2

Yeah, you know those red poppies all over GW? Yeah, that’s Europe in the spring. So I’m on my Grand Tour of Europe and by Germany, I can hear the background music while I’m walking around the ruined castles. Ruined? Right, clearly the Charr had come through, taking down those stone towers. From the ground, we could totally see where to climb on the crumbled walls to get to the top, where SURELY there was a map to view. If only I had my staff, I would have given it a try, but I suspect those pesky Ascalonian ghosts were waiting for me and I couldn’t find a waypoint.
It was pretty surreal to see the game come to life like that IRL.

Where was that? I’m almost certain I’ve seen the exact same structor. Was it near Trier?

Google image search says it’s near Heidelberg.

I always thought Ascalon is located near the gaza strip in Israel. Huh.

Lol. Also, wow that place actually looks nice. Too bad it’s kinda dangerous to live there… I guess.

On a sidenote, I just remembered something you may like:

I think the same every time I walk past fields of wild flowers in northern Europe, with the poppies and all.

I see that picture and all I think is “JUMPING PUZZLE!”

Yeah, I think Bran did that jumping puzzle once

Funny how I didn’t see that as a European … I have a castle in my street my entire life and a few “jumping puzzle” type tower ruins in the neighborhood. Most larger parks have at least something to climb on. Make sure to bring decent shoes.

We don’t have ghosts here though, you’ll find those in Romania.
