I’ve come to the realization that not only do I not miss playing XI, but that I actually dread ever returning to Vana’diel. I’m already working enough as is (60hr+ weeks are the norm as a game tester) and don’t want to come home only to log in more hours of work in XI. I’ve [...]

I die alone … no one dies for me.

My topic tonight should be an inspiration for all pullers when the shit hits the fan. Better for one person to lose XP than multiple people. These words aren’t mine … a RDM in a G1-Papyrus party I joined earlier this evening muttered that. Providing that the SA crew and whoever else wants to help [...]
Genkai #1 here I come …

I finally got into a decent party and got within a pot-shot of 50 (1198xp away). When I first joined the party I didn’t think that we’d do all that well, but it turns out that we did. Party setup was PLD, WAR, THF(me), BLM, WHM, RDM. Other than the fact that I didn’t have [...]
I can report you to a GM for your comment

I’ve been getting into incredibly aweful parties recently. I don’t know what it is … but between 3 different parties I’ve gotten about 6k xp. This morning was probably one of the most hilarious of them all though. (Even more so than the experience with Felgar) So I got an invite from Bader (a WHM) [...]

Yes, those words were said from a noobtactular WHM named Felgar to the PLD tank. There’s nothing worse than a WHM that absolutely sucks … and what’s worse is that because he is a WHM he’ll probably continue to gain levels and not learn along the way. So let’s fill in the backstory to this [...]
Sorry … too much of a level gap …

Well Zandria … you’ve inspired the title of this entry. Zandria was a ranger that I had picked up to level my ninja up along with Yunie’s thief. Filled the party up and Zandria started having reservations about the level gap. 3 of us were 25, 1 (the BLM) was 24 and Zandria and this [...]
“Insert Generic Title Here”

Can’t really come up with a good title, so whatever. Went over to visit my old store (I used to be the store manager for the Fremont Hub Gamestop) to visit with my good ‘ol ex-employees. I left around 6:45pm so I thought I’d pretty much miss most of the traffic getting there, but nailed [...]
Sierra Mist … Yeah it’s like that …

It’s so refreshing to join parties that know what they’re doing and how a thief operates. Furthermore, I love dragoons as trick partners. It’s awesome to have them shed the hate you give them from fuidama viper with their high jump ability. So I hopped on this afternoon in hopes of finding a decent party [...]
