Well it has been almost a month since I have last posted a blog. A lot of stuff has been going on and really is not that interesting or has to do with gaming. There is a lot I would like to talk about, so I will probably break it down into several posts over the month of October. Right now I can give an overview on what has been happening and what is to come. To start off on a sad note, it looks like the LS that I am a part of website will be gone on the 10th of this month. I'm not sure if this is a foreshadowing of things to come in the LS or not. Only time will tell.
I'm ever so rarely playing FFXI as much as I used to. I don't know if it's because I am bored with it, or I haven't found my niche in the game. I started out as a RDM and enjoyed it for a while, but fell in love with WHM more than any other class so far. However, I hit a rut when I spent an entire week looking for a party. I mean a day or so during the week I can handle, but to look for an entire week is downright ridiculous. So I worked on my BRD for a little and enjoyed it, but to my dismay it turns out I need to have NIN leveled to be able to effectively pull at later levels. Right now I am working on NIN. It is fun and I also worked on WAR. I think I am a decent tank, and I enjoyed having a hate competition with my SAM friend. He would try to build up enough hate to have the monster go after him. I think out of the whole night the monster looked away three times. Two of them were when the WHM over cured. So I felt good being able to hold the hate threshold high enough for people to go all out and not have to worry about losing control. The game has evolved from when I originally started the game. That rant will come at a later date. For now I will focus on NIN and BRD. I don't think I will have a lot of use in the CoP expansion but I can always work on that. That is one expansion I want to finish before I quit. Hell I think once I finish CoP I will quit. Only time will tell.
I borrowed Force Unleashed from Game Fly and it's not bad. I figured it would be a boring hack slash fest. Well it is that, but overall it is still enjoyable because you can experiment with the force powers to fit your play style. Right now I am stuck on pulling down the start destroyer. I'd start pulling it down and then some tie fighters come out of nowhere and shoot me to death. I didn't realize that you can let go and clear the tie fighters and then resume pulling it down. Yeah, it's ok laugh. I didn't know until the one kid at Gamestop told me that you had to do it in a couple segments. >.
