[GW2] Asura Week: TMI!

Normally at about this time I would be slogging through the vast amounts of information which is spewed forth from the ANet blog-machine over the course of a race week. I did it for the human, charr, norn and sylvari weeks but I don't think my feeble bookah brain can quite handle condensing all of the information from asura week into one post.

3. They are condescending buggers at times.

4. They're attracted to... weird things
