Here’s the wrap-up of what’s been going on here. This isn’t the place for me to become extremely personal, but I now have more time to work on my projects. That includes my roughly-thought-out mod for Half-Life 2, a new website layout, more lan party’s, and a up to date information section based on my Final Fantasy XI character.
That’s right; I started playing the mighty Final Fantasy Online. I actually had played it before but only for the first free month it offers. The game is massive, beautiful, and seems to never end. It does a good job at pulling you in. You will find yourself playing for hours before completing quests and leveling up. This is certainly no log on for thirty minutes and put a dent in the game, nope. The quest system actually involves reading and exploring, unlike most mmrpg’s out today where you are given a way point to your destination. That makes it lazy and all you have to do is click, click, next, next, and not even use those literacy skills you learned in school… I am trying to level up so I can get a mount to ride on. The yellowy fuzzball called a Chocobo! But my character is a rather large Galka beast. I wonder how funny he will look when riding the chocobo around. I’m recording footage of my gameplay and taking screenshots constantly so this will of course be put in to another youtube.com video provided by me.
Music. The band I am in right now has had a few successful jam sessions. I guess you could say we have roughly three or four songs. So far the sound is hard to explain. It will go from Anthony’s off-sound to my melodic style. Hardcore punk to just jamming. The music will surely get people moving at a show, which reminds me. The first place we will be playing at is a house party. Some guy with parent’s who have a lot of money so I figure we can go and wreck his place up. Nah…
Lord of the Rings Online. I was able to beta test this massively multi-playered online game before its release and I have to say I was a bit disappointed… Its basically World of Warcraft with a few different skills. The skills are a little bit more interesting to do, but other than that the game even looks close to WoW. It even looks like they used the same game engine. You can go and spend fifty bucks and find out for yourself, but if you’re already playing WoW then I would just stay put.
