FFXI stuffs
Weird times on Hades in FFXI...
Well, first off, the server merge (aka forced transfer) is taking place on Monday. That means I've had to empty out my delivery box of all the junk I keep in it that I do not use. I've also returned some low level COR gear that I've been borrowing from Fuuji and Ghiren. Too bad I haven't finished COR yet, so... I guess level-sync parties will be suffering with a gimpy COR for a while! At the end of the day, I'm going to end up with about 3 slots available for the transfer. I keep a lot of junk in my delivery box... costume food, fireworks and more xD
I'm pretty apprehensive about this merger... I'm fully expecting things to completely fall apart after the merge with the huge crowds. It'll probably be days, if not weeks before the dust from this settles. I just hope that I can finish COR and retire it before things get too crazy
And... the weird thing is... recently all these new(or old) people are coming out from the woodworks and showing up everywhere... it's kinda scary to me to see these unfamiliar names all about. Dynamis has exploded in people and I don't know half the people anymore xD
Other games
Meanwhile, FFXIII has been distracting me from XI these days. The plot is interesting, though convoluted, and the gameplay is... well... it is different. I'm both amused and annoyed at where I am in the game right now. I'm at a point where the game itself tells you that you are supposed to go grind mobs for exp... I mean, literally... they say so in the cutscenes that they are in an area specifically designed to go grind mobs up for exp.
I guess they want to bring the MMO feel to XIII?
Anyway, on the lineup after I finish watching the XIII movie:
- Dragon Age: Awakening
- Heavy Rain
- Mass Effect 2 DLC
- White Knight Chronicles
WKC has been sitting on the shelf for quite a few weeks now ^^;
Looks like SE is also dropping the ball on the FFXIV beta... or alpha... or whatever they wanted to call it. That, or they really suck at communicating(most likely!). The "launch" date turned out to be nothing more then opening their forum/site up to people to post about how awesome XIV is going to be and how they are going to totally camp all the NMs and whine about how they are going to lose their beta characters once retail starts.
Mostly a no-op...
PC gaming
Mmmm... I'm kinda annoyed right now... I ordered a laptop capable of PC gaming (well, at least more so compared to my current computer) which was supposed to ship this week, but it has not yet shipped ~.~ Getting angsty waiting... I don't like waiting.
Meanwhile, I'm reading more about stupid DRM policies that various companies are putting into PC gaming... From what I understand, you can't play Assassin's Creed 2 or Command & Conquer 4 on the PC without an active internet connection. As in... you can't play it at all, not that you need it to install or register the game.
This basically kills any hope of gaming while travelling, or if power or internet goes out at home for these games. I guess I need to put together a list of games to avoid... that, or start pirating -.-

These companies with the idiotic DRMs are killing themselves. They're driving once legitimate gamers towards the pirates rather than away from them. These companies need to just learn that piracy is something they can't get away from, and the harder they try, the worse they will make it for themselves. I enjoyed Assassin's Creed II on PS3, but I will NEVER buy an Ubisoft game for PC ever again... not if I HAVE to pirate it to play it offline.
Enjoying WKC right now myself... I wasn't sure of it at first, but it is quite fun, even though small bits of the story are a bit odd now and then... you'd think they'd better guard the princess after losing her once!
What laptop did you order?
Spending too much on a new Sony VAIO Z-series xD Lightweight and decent speed
