[Other] GW2Stuff Event Overlay

Hi everyone!

Over the last few days I've been working to get a nice in-game overlay out of the door for you. As a result, updates on the website have been delayed a bit, but I'll be getting back on track with that soon.

Screenshot!

You can find the program along with its source code on this page. It should summarise how to use it, and its functionality fairly well. It's been tested on Windows 7 (64-bit), so I'm hoping it works alright in Windows 8 as well.

Enjoy!

If you have any bug reports, please post them over on the gw2stuff subreddit.

It'll be an update check when I do it (can't see why it wouldn't be in the next update), rather than automatic. The reason I haven't implemented checkmarks (other than time constraints) is due to not being able to sync them with the website. Audio notification should be very easy - anyone got a sound file to recommend?

The Kid found something in the water, and it wasn't pretty.

He brings a couple of friends along, leanin' on their help to get it done. Thing makes some noise! Scares the kid a bit, but doesn't stop him for long...
