Make an ugly insect
I think Rollerbeetles are totally stupid. The latest papercraft lets you build one of these ugly out-of-place creatures.

Now it’s your turn:
What do you like to do in Guild Wars at this time of year? Are you a Snowball fiend, or are quests more to your liking? Is it all about the rewards, or more about the fun and change in scenery? Comment below!
I personally love the quests, and the fun consumables. Nothing like chasing people down as a snowman and sitting on them! Of course this year, I’m going to be collecting as many party items as I can for the title, but in general I find Wintersday to be a very fun holiday event.
Oh, off topic, but I don’t know where else to put this. There are no links in your “I Love Mesmers” post in the professions page. :)
What do you mean?
Hmm. Earlier it only showed the text of your post, and nothing else. But it is now, soooooo nvm. :) Love the site!
