I think I might get final fantasy tonight or maybe after work tomorrow. One of my buddies has it and says its pretty good
 
Finally got the last few challenges finished on Arkham City. Just in time to suffer through Origins at the end of the month, most likely early next year though. Still a few of those challenges were patently absurd and required me to damn near commit suicide to pull off. Course as I was telling my friends I didn't beat Batman by getting better at being Batman. I beat it by becoming increasingly mean. Which means wrapping up the challenges with Catwoman, Robin and Nightwing is gonna be a pain in the ass cus they mostly lack the tools to be bastards. Oh well, it's down to that and LA Noire as far as things that I've sworn must be completed. Might put in a few hours of Blue World this week but we'll see. I'm fucking sick and tired of Super Shark Thanatos being a twat and the Goblin Shark King being a dick oh and the Kraken hunting me in the dark. Makes me want to go swim in my aquarium.

Speaking of Aquariums I might be getting one in the next month. A friend of mine is moving and if his cousin doesn't take the tank it's mine and it's. . .big. I wish I knew the gallons on it but it's like five feet long, two tall and two deep. I want to get some smallish shark for it once the current batch finish dying. Or I forget to feet them for an extended period of time. Whichever comes first. Apparently he doesn't think it's chance or the fish's chances of surviving a move from California to South Carolina are high enough to risk it.

It is a lot of fun. Frustrating at times, but worth it. I hope you and your (wife now?) play and have fun!

There's a quest in Final Fantasy that cracked me up about getting meaner.

I missed the premise to begin with. I'm supposed to just break a rock. My rock. Against another guy, who is breaking an obviously smaller rock.

First time through I didn't read right, I thought it was cooperative, helped him break his rock. FAIL!

Second time through I try to break my rock, but he keeps doing interrupts on me. Holy crap, the dude is cheating! FAIL

Third time I manage to evade his interruptions but fail to realize that he's also set a bomb by his rock and I have to stop breaking my rock to disarm the bomb. FAIL

FOURTH time I get it all right and evade all attempts at sabotage and cheating. WOO HOO!

Took me long enough.
 
LOL. That sounds entertaining. I might one day try to get back into an MMO, I just don't particularly like grinding, especially grinding that I have to pay attention to. I won't pretend like Pokemon (how the fuck is there no Pokemon MMO?!?!) doesn't have a fuck ton of grinding involved but I basically set it to the side of my computer and reach over and tap the A button everytime I make a post and once every five ten minuts I move. Hell for a while I had one of those perpetual motion birds set to tap the button and I'd just ignore it.

Yeah, MMO's aren't for everybody. EQ2 does it the best because you can alter your level any time you want to explore any level of content, and they have so much content and repeatable quests and dungeons that it's a lot more fun. Though any game that intended to stop at 50 and then extended the level cap, ends up with a ridiculous amount of exp that you have to get. But they also kind of compensated for that by giving alternate advancement, so for every upper level you will get five alternate advancement points to put into your class.

Final Fantasy is new...so this is my first time through and it's worth it, although I'm not sure I'm going to get all characters up because they really do not have enough content yet. But I have high hopes! It's beautiful and smart and fun. Some frustrating bottlenecks, but it's also transformative to see one group fail and one group breeze, because you finally got the smart people who know how to play. Since it's new, it's still light and fun and nobody is an old grouchy veteran.
 
I'll probably skip this one too. I remember FFXI and wanting to shoot myself in the head. Especially since I swear the monsters in that game had some kind of randomizer on them and I'd go around hunting little bunnies until I felt like a bad ass motherfucker and then WHAM the hell bunny would show up and I'd feel like I wandered in to Monty Python or some shit. I'm running around shrieking.

I tend to hate grouchy veterans in most games. I admit I can be a twat in League of LEgends and I'm not even that good I just hate it when I die because of poor communication skills. That's kind of my pet peeve. Depending on the game I actually enjoy doing what I call 'escort duty'. I go out of my way on Left 4 Dead, and Resident Evil 5 & 6 to team up with the new kids and just help them get to the end of the level quite often helping them get absurd acheivements that require me to take all the risks so they can get through only using pistols or without getting healed or some such shit. Tis fun. In general vets need to stop being such pains in the ass and thinking everybody knows everything about everything. We don't, we make mistakes and sometimes it just ain't that serious and we're just having fun.

Oh, I completely agree with you about the hell bunny. We played that game, transport and the random fuck-you-completely mobs were ridiculous. Plus the game was actually kinda ugly and clunky.
 
I don't remember it being particularly ugly, I just remember being furious that I was being raped by a bunny. Kinda hard to grind when you can't even safely pick on the hippity hoppity bunnies. It's like showing up for the Special Olympics only every so often Usain Bolt decides to compete too.

Yes, it's bad enough that you're out on the castle's front lawn grinding exp on bunnies and running to the guards for help. It's infinitely humiliating to be one-shotted by the uber bunny. "Look at the bones!"

Sean, if you pass up the chance to own a tank full of piranhas, we are no longer friends.

I don't think I've used a weapon for it's intended purpose on RE6 yet. I consistently forget it's not a BattleToads esc fighting game. Because the melee is fun as fuck.
 
LOL. I did whack a lot of people in that game, made things kinda easy cus it's usually better than shooting em. Wait until you meet your sexy slime sister or the Cochroach monsters. Trust me, you'll bust out the big guns.
 
I'm a guy. If we're doing some tentacle stuff Reci is our resident female. She need's the blooper.

Me I rock a Frog suit and I out swim angry fish trying to eat me whole!

Oh, wait. I know what a blooper is. Because I suck at the blooper racing mini-game. I never did get that star. Balance a Wii-mote my ass.
 
You better know what a Blooper is. I think I'm gonna have to leave you in the desert with Pokey and the angry sun.

But I could temporarily kill it with a hammer...
