[Edited/Updated 25 Feb]
Okay, so, this week is Guild Wars 2 norn week. The Monday article is basically about a) norn aren't just big humans and b) here's some things that might make you want to play one.
The picture included was, of course, full of boob:

Oh, right, Guild Wars 2
So, I realized the other day I haven't posted for a couple months.
Part of this is I really haven't had much to talk about. Until a few weeks ago, there wasn't anything new coming out of ANet about Guild Wars 2, so that topic sort of exhausted itself. It's not that I'm not still looking forward to the game, but there wasn't much to comment on. I could've mentioned going through Dark Cloud II (aka Dark Chronicle outside the U.S.) or my progress in Guild Wars, but, er, I didn't.
Let's rectify that with a long, rambling post about Guild Wars 2.

"Samus is a Girl"
I was skimming through TV Tropes list of tropes and came across Samus is a Girl (warning: link clicking can lead to sudden loss of time). It's one I knew about already, but I was already thinking about gender issues thanks to a book I was reading that was set in the 50s-70s time period following the career of a woman, which had a lot of focus on how hard it was for her to convince people she was competent and/or should be promoted, simply because she didn't have a Y chromosone. (Yes, this is related to gaming.... read on.)

Hall of Monuments: Overview
So, as I mentioned earlier, if you're a Guild Wars 1 player who intends to buy Guild Wars 2, and you've got the Eye of the North expansion as well as all of the campaigns, you will be able to get some item rewards in GW2 based on filling up your GW1 Hall of Monuments to a certain extent. But you may not be sure about how to tackle doing this. If you need some tips, I think I can help.
Hall of Monuments: Resilience
[Confused? Start here.]
Resilience translates to "elite armor set" (all pieces excepting head armor, which is optional). There's 8 HoM points available: one for any armor, one for three different armors, two for getting five different armors, one for getting seven, and one each for (either) Kurzick/Luxon armor, Vabbian armor, and Obsidian armor. This is a monument where money is very necessary regardless of how many points you go for. Your goal here is 4-6 points.

Hall of Monuments: Devotion
[Confused? Start here.]
Devotion offers a total of 8 HoM points: one for putting any miniature in, one for putting any "rare" (gold) miniature in, one for putting any "unique" (green) miniature in, two for adding 20 different miniatures total, and one each for getting to 30, 40, and 50 different miniatures displayed.

Hall of Monuments: Valor
[Confused? Start here.]
The Valor monument tracks certain sets of weapons: Tormented (available in Nightfall), Destroyer (craftable in EotN), and Oppressor (available by playing through the War in Kryta content). There are a total of 8 HoM points available: one for any single weapon, one each for a Tormented, Destroyer, or Oppressor weapon, one for installing a total of five different weapons, two points for getting to 11 total, and one more for getting to 15 total. Your goal here is 3-5 points.

Hall of Monuments: Fellowship
[Confused? Start here.]
Fellowship offers a total of 8 HoM points: one for putting any upgraded hero in, one for putting any ranger pet in, one for putting a "rare" ranger pet in, two for adding five total statues, and one each for 10, 20, and 30 total statues. You would need to get all the heroes upgraded and all the rare ranger pets to maximize your points here, but your goal is 4-6 points.

Hall of Monuments: Honor
[Confused? Start here.]
I'm going to touch on the HoM synergy topic a bit in this post, but it's mainly about the Honor monument itself.

Hall of Monuments Synergies
[Confused? Start here.]
There's a number of different combinations of things you can do to simultaneously work on earning multiple points towards your Hall of Monuments. They're similar to the synergies possible between multiple titles (themselves useful for HoM points, of course), so you may already be familiar with these, but it might be worth reading through just in case.
