FFXI Boredom

Well where shall I start, it's been a while since I've posted on here so a lot has happened. Unlike most of the blogs I've read, I don't feel the need to spell every minor detail out for potential readers so I will go over briefly what has happened.

First of all, I must say E3 was awesome XD. Driving to LA went a lot smoother then I thought and we got there rather early, (took only 5hours to drive there). Once we got there we spent a good 1-2hrs looking for our hotel. We ended up driving through Chinatown like 6 times before we realized our hotel was IN Chinatown. So we get up to the front desk and find out that our hotel room was cancelled. Confused as we were, the front desk didn't seem to even care that it was cancelled. As we pressed them about this they basically just said "Well someone cancelled it." We told them it wasn't us, its not like other people can just cancel it. Whats worse is they weren't going to fix it -_-. Anyways after another hour of cussing and manager conversations they decided to give us the room for the night and figure the rest out the next day. So anyways we get to our room and unload, and decide we should drive over to the convention center now to get our badges. The E3 center was easy as hell to find, especially with all the video game posters all over the buildings XD. Once we got our badges we went back to the hotel and hung out till the next day. Then the real fun started. All the conferences were going on, the expo floor didn't open for another day so we got to see all these interviews and panels with developers. I'm very proud to say that I got to meet Hideo Kojima and Cliffy B~ Seeing them on the panel was amazing, and Gears of War and Metal Gear Solid 4 were my favorite games there I'm sure. After seeing other panels including Will Wrights, which was on Spore, we went home again. Funny thing is the hotel didn't bother us at all any time during the WHOLE week. We just kept renewing our keycard and we had a room >_>. We wondered if my friend was even being charged for it. To sum up my whole experience I'll close with a few select words. Nintendo Wii. Square Enix. Atlus USA. Booth Babes. Those were the best parts of the whole experience ^^.




Now on to FFXI. On my arrival back my friend was staying with me for 10 days so I really didn't get back to FFXI till he left. Anyways, upon my return I see that some stuff has changed. First of all I see that my friend Thazienne has gotten Sea access, so Congrats to him! ^^v. As for our progress through CoP, I'm not so excited. As some of you may know Tumble ditched us to do the Airship fight and even managed to complete the CoP story arc. Well that upset me greatly and if you read Tuufless' Bloggaru you will see a post he made that conveys our feelings on what he did. Which brings me back to Tuuf. I thought he felt the same way as I did until i read his newest post. You see he has also recently completed the Airship fight. However it was not with us as you may think. He went on and did it with some old friends instead. Now the thing is I didn't hear he did the fight without us until someone told me. Now when he finally told me, he said it was just a "test run". Recently he posted a new post on his Airship fight. I must say his definition of "test run" is a little different than mine. Failing twice and going on to do it once more seems more then a test. Also if his friends asked him out of the blue, why couldn't he do what I would have done and said "I'm sorries, I have a static, I can't ditch them." Honestly I don't really care anymore. I've learned a lot from playing this game. I've met a lot of people and friends on this game in my whole span of playing it and after seeing so much drama and ditching, I've had enough. I just don't care about people much anymore. After seeing Tuuf go on without us it makes me lose trust for all the people I know except my girlfriend Saoirse. I know that's kind of a harsh thing to say but it's how I am feeling. In the end people will do what is best for them, regardless of what others think. Now I know everyone always says "Well I'll still help you" but I'm tired of hearing that. How would the static feel if I did the airship without telling them and simply said "I'll still help you guys get it, don't worry." Also, Tumble confronted me and asked how I felt about Tuuf doing it without us. When I said I stopped caring, he got really upset because I gave him such a hard time and I didn't say one thing to Tuuf. Apparently Tumble has been lvling BRD "for us" this past month or so and feels that he has done it for nothing. I dunno anything about that because I honestly haven't talked to him in a while one on one. Anyway, I'm not expecting to have Sea for a long time if at all. If the "static" still wants to do it, I'm all for it. It's not like I'm going to just go do it if someone asks me ._.'

On a lighter note, I've gotten SAM AF2 Boots recently in Dynamis ^^. I've also lvled my THF to 36, almost capping it for a sub. I've been doing a lot of Besieged lately, even doing all 3 today ^^. I have Dynamis-Bastok tomorrow so hopefully I get lucky and get my DRG AF2 Pants finally. Wish me luck @_@. Also I will most likely be heading off to Cali to see Saoirse sooner than expected!~ XD hopefully in a week I'll be gone and cuddling with her to take my mind off teh FFXI Issues.~ I've also picked my classes for my fall semester so I should have my Associates in Game Design by January and then start my Bachelors. XD

Isn't she adorable~! XD

Anyway, sayonara~ m(_ _)m
