Random musing…

So, something random, not FFXI-related today.  I entered a contest to win a computer game called Metro 2033 and a chance for a video card, an Nvidia GTX 460.  <.<  I know, I can be a nerd, so… :P

Old reality = New reality

Three weeks have gone by and I haven’t gotten any of my jobs to level 80 yet.  Tonight I was reminded of one of the many reasons why I quit the game six months ago.

Odd names…

(Edit: Some kind of WordPress error ate the original post so now I have to redo it.)

Odd names I have seen since I came back to Bismarck:

  • Zomgiwtfpwnuall (Yes, that’s his name, and, yes, it’s a Tarutaru.)
  • Shepleasesme (It’s a Mithra… ’nuff said.)
  • Iamoffended (I am sorry, did I offend you?)
  • Milkchocolate (Hope it’s Hershey’s Milk Chocolate.)
  • Marshmallow (Heat up milk chocolate and add some marshmallow. Yum!)
  • Starbuckscafe (Or… I can buy some over-priced hot cocoa here.)
  • Wwwwwwwwwwww (Is that enough w‘s?)
  • Chocoboforest (Will I need a Chocograph to find treasure here?)
  • Cannibalcorpse (Hannibal Lecter?)
  • Deucebigalow (“I don’t know.  Turkey jizz?”)
  • Girlygirl (An actual girl online, that’s amazing.)
  • Superelixir (Too bad these don’t stack… silly potion bottles.)
  • Viciousanklebtr (If you guess he’s a Tarutaru, you guessed right.)
  • Illlllll (Are you alright?)

I wonder where these names came from…

Not to be mean, but these are really odd names.  Luckily in FFXIV you can have both a first and last name.  I can’t wait to see Aeris Gainsborough or Squall Leonhart!

Since I came back…

Since I came back to Final Fantasy XI after a five to six month hiatus, I have tried and done my best to have fun in the game so far.  Lately, the last two weeks has been me doing random stuff in the game:

  • Doing missions especially those that I stopped doing before I quit.
  • Helping friends out, especially one friend in particular that I honestly did miss though while I was away from the game.
  • Abyssea– Actually pretty enjoyable area, it’s new and unexpected.
  • Campaign– Honestly not enjoying this much since I realize this might be the only way for me to level DRG, DNC, and RNG to 99.  *sigh* (I wish people weren’t so merit burn-only minded in this game…)

Site changes and updates (Update 6/24/2010)

Changes in store for this website.  Since I don’t play FFXI now, I’ll be updating the website to include other MMOs whether I’ve tested them in beta or play them from time-to-time.

Update: Apparently the Gallery broke and is pointing to an old, unused gallery.  Ugh… it’s going to be a bit before I can fix that since the original gallery was using NexGEN Gallery plug-in for WordPress.

Update #2: Ok, the forum is broken too since it points to an unused phpBB forum.  It was originally the SimplePressForum.
