The Efts on The Siege episode 30!

Listen to the podcast here --> The Siege #30 Living Through the Living Story

Radio is a dismal affair in the rural area in which we live.  None of the stations that reach our tiny woodland cabin play anything of interest, which is why we turn to podcasts for our ear-tainment.  Along with The Most Popular Girls on the Internet and the now retired Radio Free Hipster, we have been listening to several Guild Wars 2 podcasts.  Our favorite of the latter is The Siege.   The Siege is hosted by legit fans of the game who seem to love sharing their stories and knowledge with their listeners.  We were very excited to hear our guild's theme song played on the most recent episode.  Thanks, The Siege!  You've continually enhanced our enjoyment of GW2, and we look forward to hearing many more episodes of your excellent podcast.

Ascended Heroes Theme

We know we are heroes because it says so right next to our names.

We've been in many guilds over the last 20 years or so of playing MMOs.  From our first non-official guild way back during the days of text-based MUDs to our current Guild Wars 2 infatuation, we've been surrounding ourselves with groups of players.  Ascended Heroes [Hero] on the Northern Shiverpeaks server of the Guild Wars 2 metasphere is a particularly good guild.  Rich in empathy, acceptance and talent, Ascended Heroes provides a home for casual and hardcore players alike.  This song is in support of this wonderful group of people.  May we escort Plinx a million more times!

Lyrics:

I want to be a hero

but I just can't do it by myself.

I've got nothing to fear though,

when I'm out there fighting with my friends.

I know I am a hero

because it says so right next to my name.

I'm counted as a hero

when I'm with my guild playing this game.

A round of drinks 

while we help Plinx

make his way home

from west to east.

Fractals and dungeons

make us strong

while we hunt dragons

all day long.

We can beat AC in our sleep

and we can capture any keep.

We all play seven days a week

right here on Northern Shiverpeaks.

Chris A Ivey

Chris A Ivey

This song is dedicated to a powerful and magnetic WvW (world vs world) player on Ferguson's Crossing, our Guild Wars 2 server.  Chris A Ivey has an incredible talent for siege tactics, player control, and is a natural leader in our crusade against our server's enemies.  This is underscored by the fact that his character is a diminutive pink-clad sword-wielding Asura.  Prior to his appearance, we tended to wander aimlessly around the huge WvW maps without focus.  Now that Chris is an integral part of the Ferguson's Crossing war machine, we've managed to overcome the fact that we're vastly outnumbered by our opposing factions.  Join us in GW2 and bear witness to the Chris A Ivey effect.  He will lead you home.

Lyrics:

We were lost within a wilderness,

our backs against a wall.

Our wounded limped among

defeated moans.

We heard his battlecry rise up

inside our sore beleaguered line

Chris A Ivey had arrived

to lead us home.

We will follow him straight down to hell.

No problem.

We will return soon with tales to tell

about him.

Let's go, we gotta build this treb for him.

Come on, supply up.

Chris A Ivey

gonna guide me.
