ArenaNet loves to celebrate the holidays. With Guild Wars versions of Halloween and Christmas/New Years, I logged into the game to see if anything special was planned for Thanksgiving. Since Guild Wars is a global game, and Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November) is a United States holiday, I wasn’t expecting to see any festive events.

Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare: Call of Tech Support?!

That’s when I started wondering, what if I could draw from fantasy worlds for leadership? Which video game character would I like to see run for the President of the United States?
