Wow it has been almost a month since I have blogged. And I left saying things will change and I will not rant as much. Well looking back on that I decided to do a little of both. I really enjoy giving my view on games I've played, even if they tend to whine a lot. Either way I will continue with my gaming updates as well as give a few personal opinions on things I find.

First, updates on my gaming life. I have continued to play FFXI still and have hung up my mage robes and taken up the melee armour. I have gotten Warrior to 29 so far and have enjoyed it a lot. I am currently working on Paladin now because I enjoy the tank jobs. But a part of me still loves being the support for a party. I kind of want to take my Bard back up and hammer on that. Well that or my Summoner. Now not to sound like a baby or anything, but Bard does not seem to be useful in the CoP missions. Now I could totally be wrong here and feel like a fool for it later on, when that happens I will cop to it and admit I was wrong. End of story. Now looking back I may just sell all of my equipment and pick Red Mage back up. Eh, I don't know what I'll do I will eventually figure it out.

Now I have picked up some other games that are probably more exciting than FFXI. Last I said I had Fallout 3. I play only a short time, it didn't really keep my attention as well as I thought it would. But then again I was working hardcore on Oblivion and may have burned myself out on that style of play. So I may pick it back up again.

I got Tomb Raider: Underworld and I must say I am having a blast with it. This is probably the most fun I have had with a TR game in a long time. It is more of a puzzle solving type game than the action combat that was in the previous. I do appreciate it. I tend to take my games slowly so I am not that far in, but I find it more enjoyable to play and not as frustrating. I also received Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for Christmas. I always thought that GH was a silly game. I never really showed interest in it. But I have to admit it is addictively fun, yet frustrating. But it's the type of frustrating of the eight bit era. You know the "I know I can beat" this type frustration.

I gave up on looking for a co-op partner for Gears of War. I posted and asked for help on X360a site and have not gotten any replies so I let my Gold account expire and traded it in since no one was down with it. I did however pick up Gears 2. That is fun, and it seems a little easier than the previous one. I hear that is why most people don't like it. It's either you never played the 1st gears or your sucked at it is why you like 2. I can admit to both. Ha! Oh well I am going to have a friend over and we will probably co-op it locally just for kicks. I will write with how that went.

I will post more in a few about how I feel as promised so that there is not such a wall of text. Until next time, enjoy your games!
