Lexx

A neat new feature in Eye of the North is the conception of tracking your progression in special books. Once finished these books may be handed in to NPCs in interchange for reputation points.

There are three books you may gather and complete:

* The Hero’s Handbook

* The Master Dungeon Guide

* Zho’s Journal

You may obtain the Hero’s Handbook and the Master Dungeon Guide from the following NPCs:

* Gedrel of Ascalon, in the Eye of the North

* Kodan, in Gunnar’s Hold

* Tyr the Skaald, in Gunnar’s Hold

* Lexx, in Rata Sum

Ask them regarding “written evidence” and they will give you the books. Once accepted, these two books will be customised to your character. If you place them in storage you may request another book, though at the moment finished quests and dungeons will only be modified in the basi book you have.

It is suspected that at a heap of point you will be capable to place the books someplace in the Hall of Monuments, which would explain why you may have more than one copy.

The Master Dungeon Guide will document your progression in the following dungeons:

* Catacombs of Kathandrax – Page 1

* Rragar’s Menagerie – Page 2

* Cathedral of Flames – Page 3

* Ooze Pit – Page 4

* Darkrime Delves – Page 5

* Frostmaw’s Burrows – Page 6

* Sepulchre of Dragrimmar – Page 7

* Raven’s Point – Page 8

* Vloxen Excavations – Page 9

* Bogroot Growths – Page 10

* Bloodstone Caves – Page 11

* Shards of Orr – Page 12

* Oola’s Lab – Page 13

* Arachni’s Haunt – Page 14

* Slaver’s Exile – Page 15

* Fronis Irontoe’s Lair – Page 16

* Secret Lair of the Snowmen – Page 17

* Heart of the Shiverpeaks – Page 18

Annoyingly, any dungeons that were finished for the duration of the Sneak Peek preview weekend won’t appear in the Master Dungeon Guide. Hopefully this is a bug that ArenaNet have overlooked, which will be fixed in an upcoming game update.

Any dungeons and quests that you have finished since starting Eye of the North (after the official launch) will mechanically show up in the books when you acquire them.

Zho’s Journal is a particular book that may only be gained once you have discomfited Zho in the Norn Fighting Tournament.

Zho’s Journal may only be acquired once per character. When you receive any of the books, they are customised to your character.

The Hero’s Handbook holds details for each of the Primary Quests you complete. As you finish them, a summary of the quest is entered in the Handbook.

The Master Dungeon Guide is employed to keep track of each of the dungeons you complete. Again, as each one is finished, a summary of the dungeon is written into the Guide.

When the Hero’s Handbook or the Master Dungeon Guide is wholly full, you may hand it in to one of the NPCs to receive 2500 reputation points for that NPC’s race. So, if you wanted to boost your Asuran Title Track, you’d hand the finished Hero’s Handbook in to Lexx in Rata Sum.

Zho’s Journal is a special item, principally of interest to Rangers or those characters who have Ranger as a secondary profession. The Journal documents Zho’s traveling in hatching a Black Moa egg and may be applied to acquire and hatch your own Black Moa egg.

To finish this you will have to have all 3 chapters of Guild Wars, as Zho has journeyed to them all to accomplish this task. If you do undertake and hatch your own Black Moa chick, bear in mind that there are no quests, and NPCs will have no icons above them, showing who to talk to. You will need to read through the Journal and use it to work out where to go and who to talk to.

If you’ve ever played table top RPGs, you may have noticed that The Hero’s Handbook and the Master Dungeon Guide are references to the Player’s Handbook and Dungeon Master’s Guide from Dungeons & Dragons. Even the colours match up to the current editions!

Lexx

Hailed as “the most imaginative Sci-Fi since The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (New York Daily News), Lexx follows the nomadic existence of four misfit characters who have inadvertently stolen the most powerful weapon of destruction ever made: a Manhattan-sized, genetically-modified insect-ship. In it is debut season, the Lexx’s quirky crew–former security guard, Captain Stanley Tweedle; the luscious love slave Zev; the dead-but-deadly assassin Kai; and the robot head 790–comes together in four, full-length features: I Worship His Shadow, Super Nova, Eating Pattern, and Giga Shadow.

Lexx Season 1: The Original 4 Movies
By Stan Tweedle
This is not a TV season, but the 4 movies before it became a TV series. Season 2 is the initial TV show season.

Uncensored, but still butchered
By LesserShadow
This set holds the uncensored US version of the Lexx movies which were the ones broadcast in the UK on the Sci-Fi channel and not Channel 5. Therefore, the movies are regrettably edited down to suit US commercials (didn’t an individual tell them that DVDs don’t have commercials?). The editing is most noticeable in I Worship his Shadow and Giga Shadow with the former missing Stanly’s capture and the middle of the final battle among Kai and His Divine Shadow, and the later missing the middle of the speech amidst Kai and Yottskry and the middle of the chase amidst the Lexx and the Giga Shadow. This editing ought to have meant that the music in Giga Shadow was out of sync, but rather then re-score it they have compressed it and then muted the segmentations that sound too atrocious. I Worship his Shadow likewise has significant over dubbing of dialog allround the episode (the most annoying of which is the bug bomb sequence) that, in my view, distracts from the overall atmosphere. So content wise, this is unquestionably a d grade release.

From a video quality stand point the picture is with regards to as good as you’d suppose from 90s TV without any further and added work so it won’t look brilliant if you’ve got a 40″ HDTV, but to be reasonable that is understandably. The audio is likewise worthy of acceptance or satisfactory with exception of the music on Giga Shadow, and is Dolby 2.0 at 192kbps.

As such, those that have seen the full length uncensored version of Lexx will only be disappointed from this set, but unluckily this is likely the only set you’ll in all likelihood be competent to buy new.
