This is how games should be played

A friend showed me this vid today. "Fucking awesome" can’t even describe half of what I’m feeling right now.

A footage from the Street Fighter game. It’s only about a minute long. Please watch it.

We see these situations so many times in animes/movies it gets rather boring and not surprising. But to actually see the "real" thing happen is extremely awesome…

FFXI Drama

When I first started the game, it all seems like a happy world, no such thing as drama. I’m not good at writing so bear with me. I have too many thoughts on this topic.

Once a while I would come across players who think they’re the only person in the game. But such players quit soon after because they made a bad name for themselves, so not a problem here.

Now that I’m in 75 and involved in a Sky LS, I begin to see the real evil side of the game. Since my Lineage 2, Japan open beta days, I always thought of Japanese players as honest players. But in FFXI, slowly I come across JP players who would insult and make fun of you. These players are in their level 70s so they will probably be around for the next few months/years.

I am fucking glad no member in my Sky Linkshell behaves that way.

I don’t agree with people when they say this is just a game. However, I do not think we should get overly pissed with other people because of what happened in-game. HNMs will always respawn to be fought. EXP lost can be regained through a few fun exp pts (unless you hate your job, but if you hate your job, why play?). It’s not like getting MPKed in-game will cause your real-life lifespan to shorten a few years.

Anyways, a little JP tarutaru /cheered me when I was soloing Olavia’s escort quest. My chat log was moving fast so I missed it >_<. But I appreciate that little emote. Small simple things like this makes the game so much more enjoyable.

It seems to me that some players become selfish and hateful because of other players’ actions. Which is why I will offer help to anyone that needs it, hoping they would understand that not everyone are bad people and learn to be forgiving. OhmyfuckinggodIsaidsomethingcheesysohere’safuckwordtobalancethings.

I want to take this chance to present to you something Mahatma Ghandi said: "An eye for an eye only makes the world go blind."

Hecatomb Harness

Last Friday, 全力全開’s Kirin battle went smoothly and we improved our battle time to 1 hour 20 minutes I think. A little more death’s than our previous run because of tank dying, having their hate reset through deaths makes it easier for BLMs to get hate.

Anyways, the Neptunal Abjuration: Body dropped [XD].

Hellokittie and I had interest in the abjuration, neither of us invoked the 20P rule, so we both cast lots.

I bought the materials for crafting the cursed harness. Everything costs 1 million. The crafted piece costs 1.4 million. So if I get it crafted, I would save 400,000gil. But alas….

Since there isn’t any oxblood on Jeuno’s AH at that time, I went ahead with buying a crafted piece from the AH. ( T-T)

With the Abjuration and Cursed Harness, I flew to the cathedral in North Sand’Oria to get it uncursed. Ta-da!

My 2.4 million gil Hecatomb Harness….. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I noticed about 100+ increase in damage for most of my SATA Spinning Slash now. And also around 100+ increase on Kirin for Spiral Hell and Ground Strike, both around 800-999. But still not good enough. Other DRKs are doing 1200-2000 on Kirin. >_< Should work on merits soon and throw them into my Scythe and Great Sword skill.

When wearing this harness, my TP per swing went up by 2%. I usually get 12% TP per swing but now, 14%. It should help solve my problem of always getting 98% TP in EXP PTs and then wasting another 7 seconds waiting for my next swing in order to break 100% TP for WS. In EXP PTs, 7 seconds is a looooong time. ( T-T)

Bangkok – Day 7 – Last Day

Felt better. But still a bit of headache.

Anyway, It’s good to be back in Singapore. The food may not be as good and cheap as Thailand’s but at least the tapwater here is tasteless and safe to drink.

My flight landed at 11pm SG time. Going past the immigrations was a breeze. No long queues. But damn, my luggage took 20 minutes to come out.  

Now I’m back to my usual life, work and FFXI. Content. 極楽極楽。。。 (´ー`)

Bangkok – Day 5-6

Ahhh… Mild food poisoning? Woke up at 6am today for my first diarrhoea session. Went back to sleep and another at 7.30. But this time, I feel so weak all over and I also feel like vomitting.

No urge for coffee. No appetite. Drank lots of water.

Gahh… I feel terrible…
