Moogle Battle!


It's been a while since I've blogged about FFXIV. Yes, I'm still crazy enough to be playing.

Today, we did the Moogle battle with my LS, Viva Eorzea. We didn't get a win, today, but I'm seeing great improvement. We're gonna try again Tuesday night.

I also got Level 50 Archer, recently! Here's a pic of me and one of my friends Moona Dior.

Went from ahead to behind. Way, way behind.

I went from being ahead of schedule on the game to being way behind. What happened?

I'm not pointing out any team members, it's mostly my fault. I seem to come up with some crazy unrealistic deadlines.

On the other hand, if there's no deadlines, nothing ever gets done. However, if  I keep extending deadlines, what's the point of having them?

I see a lot of progress coming in the project. I'm very pleased with the amount of effort the artists, musicians, scriptwriters, and voice actors are contributing in their spare time to get this to be the best game project it can be.

It's just making me tired and burnt out to try to get this all up and involved with a lot of stuff at once. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but it feels like a full-time job! Holy cow.


I wonder what people will think of the game. And I'm not talking about friends/family, I mean the average joe person. Gamers are usually very unforgiving and if you can't get them in the first 5 minutes, then you've lost them forever.



On another note...

Today, I'm going to smash mirrors, step on cracks, and hang out with black cats, and walk under ladders.

It's gonna be fun.

Two more quarters

Oh, right, a post.

I've been spending most of the last couple of days working on Selatria and getting set up with my first couple of days of class.

I've learned how to program in Python! Apparently we're doing that in Artificial Intelligence instead of LISP. She said it would be more useful in the workforce to learn Python rather than use a hit-or-miss language with LISP. Kind of sad we won't get to use that, but it happens. I'm still happy with being able to use Python.

Ethics and Algorithm Analysis will be interesting too, a little harder on the second class, but I think I'll be alright.

Last quarter will be in Spring where I finish my CSE classes, and then to more classes in summer and I am done!

The Monday after.

This past weekend was so much fun that I'm still on the high after. 

Hey all, sorry for not posting on the 7th. I was at Anime Los Angeles and for the past few days or so I have been beat from driving back and forth from San Bernardino to the convention. But now that it's over, I can post some pictures of the event!

I had a blast. Not as good as Anime Expo but better than Anime Vegas, in my opinion. I got enough SpotPass tags to populate a small country. Everyone was cool, it was very peaceful, and I got a lot of coins for Super Mario 3D Land to get through the World 8 special zone. Lots of fun times to be had!

Picture time!

You can see them here on Facebook.

Hmm...

Came out of a meeting for Selatria today, it was great, but kind of a wake-up call that the project still needs quite a bit of work. Or maybe I'm just not motivated at the moment. Pfft.

I feel like I'm losing touch with some of my long time gaming friends. They've all joined hardcore gaming linkshells and I sit kind of in limbo. I kind of find it insulting that they'd talk down on difficult content the game has to offer and call it easy, when some of us have not completed it yet.

It disgusts me slightly.

Eh, that's all for now.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to all!

This is going to be the start of something amazing. I can feel it! I wish all of you reading a very prosperous new year.

I'm going to try to end the feuds I have going on with people, while it's a new year, it's time to start fresh and with a clean slate. Don't you agree?
