Progress!
Well, well! It appears some good fortune has come my way as of late!
First, I'll begin with the topic of the Nyzul Isle static! The static fought valiantly against the unseen horrors that only Nyzul Isle has to offer! The dreaded chariots reared their ugly heads quite a few times during our adventures, and were determined to prevent us from making any progress. Unfortunately, we failed two of our four runs. However, we did manage to reach Floor 30, and this is great news because I'm actually in a static that's making progress. In the past, I have wasted my time starting at Floor 1 several times in an effort to make progress in the long run, but we would often disperse before our second run. I'm glad I have a static of committed people! We've even agreed to meet twice a week: on Mondays and Fridays! Perhaps I'll be able to get Atonement in a few weeks!
Second, Dynamis - San d'Oria was unusually kind to me tonight! Yet, it is also very cruel! I was asked to come on Red Mage. Usually, this would cause me to fly into a blind rage, but considering I've come on a variety of jobs as of late, it was a nice change of pace. I was able to sub Black Mage. It was quite enjoyable being able to take care of sleeps, silencing mages, silencing pets, refreshing tanks, and backup healing. Composure makes this job so much easier in Dynamis. For my efforts, Dynamis gave me a wonderful pair of Wyrm Greaves that I won on free lot. Before that dropped, Argute Bracers dropped, and I was very pleased until the run was over and I noticed that I had to edit every single Scholar macro. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try them out in the future!
Finally, Odude gifted me Team Fortress 2 as a birthday present (which is on the 26th)! It's worthy to note that this is probably the best birthday present I've been given since my 18th birthday when my mom bought my Treasures of Aht Urhgan. TF2 is a really awesome game, and all of you should go buy it! We can have the whole Ventrilo server on a team! Wouldn't that be awesome?!
In closing, here is a quote from Belmont, who was on Onikirimaru:

I Hate Odude!
Let it be known that I hate Odude.
And this isn't racial hatred.
This is legitimate hatred.

Sometimes I Wonder Why I Still Play This Game
Samhain didn't get his Ermine's Tail.
My mortal enemy dominated my lot for Argute Gown.
I wasn't allowed to lot Hydra Sallade because my main lot isn't PLD anymore. On top of this, it went to a PLD with a Bahamut's Mask, so it didn't even go to a PLD that would have benefited from it.
I wasted over an hour fishing for one Nebimonite.
I put my flag up on DRG while I was going AFK to take care of some things around the house and I get an invite, but the party was full by the time I responded.

Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver and Nyzul Static Day #2!
The official site for Pokémon HG/SS has gone live. Of course, it's the Japanese site, but that didn't stop me from taking a peek at what the site had up. Then, I noticed this:
What is this? They changed Crystal's appearance yet they left Silver's design basically the same. Crystal looks like a Mario-esque abomination. I've always complained that GameFreak seemed to purposely make the female trainers look more appealing because the designs for Brendan and Lukas from R/S/E and D/P/Pt, respectively, seemed so lame in comparison to May and Dawn. I was hoping that they would make the male trainers not look as... bland, but I wasn't expecting GameFreak to make Crystal fugly.
In other news! Last night was the Nyzul Isle static's second run. Technically, it's our first official run together, but who cares about the details! I am proud of everyone. We went in with four tags and managed to win three runs! We even had a chariot leader and a chariot family during one run, and we still managed to win! Dynas had to leave after the third run for RL stuff, but we managed to get the group to floor 20. Since Dynas left, we decided to use the last tag for a floor 20 boss run. Sonnus volunteered to be our TH, but we failed the run in the end.
However... we were determined not to leave empty handed:

Stop. Emo Time.
It appears that Icee and Liren aren't speaking to me after a comment I made about his lack of elemental staves. Apparently I'm elitest despite sacrificing time out of the last six months to help with missions I've long since completed. Is this the thanks I get? Sacrificing time to help others only to have them find fault with anything I say? Is it worth it? Am I overreacting? Perhaps I try too hard to keep friends in this game. Maybe I should stop sacrificing my time helping people that apparently don't appreciate my help. Bleh, I need a boat.
On a lighter note, special thanks goes to Sonnus for sacrificing over two hours of his time to help me break my dagger of trials. After wasting an hour of my time trying to solo the NM, it appears I fail at RDM solo. I guess I'll wait for someone to help me.
Also, Nyzul later tonight! The goal is to get to go from floor five to floor twenty with four tags. That shouldn't be too hard!

Pokémon Platinum First Impressions
I think Nintendo intentionally made Diamond and Pearl suck balls on purpose so Platinum would sell. Platinum has no lag issues at all like Diamond and Pearl, and there's been some small additions to the "plot" to make the game more interesting. It's kind of neat to see Cyrus at Lake Verity. It was cool to see a Pokémon game at least attempt to foreshadow a future event.
Also, for some strange reason, I keep reading Starly as Sta Rly. Like the O RLY fad. :/

I'm Rich!
The other night, I was out all day and night doing RL things. I came home and logged in out of boredom. A friend of mine was EXPing in Garlaige when he sent me a tell saying Serket was up, unclaimed, and preventing his party from getting any EXP. So, Shuri and I rushed down there to take it out!
Then it sold!
Huzzah for gil!

It Must Be My Birthday...
Both of my packages arrived!
Pokémon Platinum, my Press X to Not Die shirt, and my Mumorpuger! sticker. I'm a huge fan of Zero Punctuation, so I had to buy the shirt and the sticker...
I put the Mumorpuger! sticker on my tower case under my DVD drive. Pictures soon... possibly!
P.S. My birthday is actually in fifteen days. (Hint hint)

First FFXI Post!
I created this blog to create an archive of my FFXI activities, yet I have posted none until now!
I have been working on leveling Dragoon. I have leveled a tank job, a mage/pet job, and two mage jobs, so I am wanting to level a job that deals damage. I must say that I love it so far. It's kind of fun not having to worry about little things such as buffs, enfeebles, and things of that sort. My job in a party is to just deal damage, so it's a nice change of pace.
Also, since I have been leveling Dragoon, I have been working my polearm skill on Paladin because I'm sure my polearm skill will fall behind due to level sync parties.
In other news, I have successfully created a Nyzul Isle static. I have been feeling pretty bummed out about my Nyzul progress. I have done all of this hard work on my Paladin lately, but all of the work seems useless without Atonement. Also, since I'm leveling Dragoon, Drakesbane would be kind of nice. The Nyzul static consists of Discojedi, Dynas, Chewzer, Emerican, Leondimas, and myself. We only did two runs and got Chew and Emerican to Floor 5, but our first run was to get used to each other. Disco was not there because he had some real life obligations. Overall, I was very impressed with our work, and we would have won the second run if it wasn't for that lamp floor.
