Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

bleh~ friends want me to go to twin peaks with them >_>

guess tonight is going to be filled with beer and eye candy

I know how you feel. :<

Been unemployed for a year and a half.

I love the way you talk. :ooo

FFX was by far the best game I have played in my life.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

mainly for the fact that the area that place is located. i drove back n forth about 5 times through there today. cuz of car repairs and helping my dad with his company's stuff.

People don't realise how difficult it can be just to maintain the will to get up each day and continue living with the impossibility of getting a job and progressing your life when the only thoughts occupying the mind are hopelessness and despair. I have been in and out of work like a yo-yo over the past few years and still suffer horrible bouts of deep depression and for me it took much MUCH less effort to get up each day and go to work regardless of the nature of the job. It's a point of perspective that not many people understand.

is there some cool database on ffxiv that tells me about every single class/craft/monster/area/spell/abilities etc etc. ?

I used Eorzeapedia.. There's a few of them out there though.

I want to chime in a little bit about X.

For me, the most touching aspect of it was the feeling of pure, absolute urgency and how downright raw the game was. Even further than that, it was the ultimate story of growing up and become the person that you have to be. But what really makes it different than just the normal "I am placed in the scenario where I have to save the world, so I have to be the savior" and shows you the journey we will all go through. It's not just "I must save the world because I was there." No, no, it goes further. It's "I have to do this, because I can."

It takes you a hundred steps until you see the true beautiful thing about growing into who you are supposed to be: you are who you are supposed to be when you realize what you want to be is who you need to be, because you have given yourself meaning. In a world where you have nothing left, you have to find your meaning and you have to fulfill it yourself.

You've got this character, and he's just a kid. He's immature, he's whiny, and he's in a situation where he doesn't actually have to grow up though. He has plenty of options, but it shows you how we human beings can go beyond what's easy, what's convenient, and become something truly spectacular: I want to be the person that goes the distance. I will go, because I can do it, and I want to do it because it's the right thing. I'm like the motherfucking Batman.

Like a child taking his first steps into his teenage years, FFX takes you through the journey with some unsteady steps. It's an unfamiliar world, and you weren't invited here. No one wanted you here. It's just where you had to end up, now you've got to figure stuff out.

At the end of the day, you've got to figure yourself out alone, too.

FFX then goes further and shows you how the teenage kids become the great men and women. They have to take hard, hard steps. They sacrifice because it would help so many others. It kills them, the pressure kills them, the sacrifices are so tough...

But they can't stop, because so many people rely on them. Because there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.

And they don't take the hard steps because it's their generic journey. They take them because they know no matter what the cost, they know that they can create the better tomorrow.

And that's what we can do. FFX is what taught me that. I can make tomorrow better. I can look at my problems and live with them, and then go beyond them. I can figure out who I want to be, and damnit I can be that.

I just have to keep going. I don't owe the world ***, but it's stories like FFX that make me realize that the one thing I can make sure I do is that I come and do some good in the world.

Because we can do it. We can make the sacrifices we don't want to. We can make the great changes. We can take those sloppy teenage steps, and we can keep taking them until we are great men and women.

Even the whiniest ones of us. Even the ones of us that are placed in the worst of situations.

We can do it.

lolol did anyone watch the 4x 100m relay at the Olympic today? Bolt crosses the line or Jamaica to win gold as usual, then he runs towards one an official gesturing for her to take the baton from him then snatches it away at last minute and gives her troll face as he runs by XD

mooglebox.com is good for recipes and equipment lists (including what materia gear converts into).

Ffx is almost a perfect game. The voice acting wasnt the greatest but it was the first ff with voices so its excusable and seymore wasnt the best baddie ever but...what made the game wonderful was the great tragic love story with tidus and yuna. I love love love the ending and I would have loved it still without the after credits. Unfortunately the sequal kinda ruined everything.

I liked the character swaps in mid fights and I liked the sphere puzzles and music (to xanarkand still gives chills) I didnt like the linear environments.

In other news Darksouls can bite me. I tried that giant big butt troll monster boss at the undead asylum like 50 times. Ive gotten better but the big fall into the arena pisses me off so bad. I could survive longer without it. Ive managed to survive long enough to get a decent chunk off his life but it feels ridiculously impossible.

Blitz Ball was awesome...

I have FFX but I can't seem to finish it. Its not hard, I'm just having trouble following the game. I get frustrated on trying to understand and then I just pop the CD out and throw in FFXII.

What...as much as I like ffxii also ..its story was overly complicated in comparison to x in my opinion.

There was one thing I hated about X... dodging the damn lightning bolts lol...

I liked the epic 2 hour battle in XII lol... though I hated Vaan's outfit...

I almost never finished FFX, I played Blitzball too much. Sometimes I would throw the game in and just Blitz for hours, pretty much forgot what I was doing in the game at one point.

It was the gameplay that suckered me in.


The Elite Mark with 50 million+ HP...

I love the Gambit system in XII.

Lol yea... the first time I encountered that beast I was like wtf.... why is it not dead yet... and with me I had to beat it without running away or anything... lol..

I tend to play games a few times through without a guide of any sort but my best wtf moment in FFXII was...
Spoilered storyline moment.

I kinda want to play XII again now...

Sometimes I wish we could use gambits on people in FFXI.

Or on myself when I am white mage and want a nap.

Are we about to agree on something? O_o

Blitzball is the king of Final Fantasy minigames.

***, I'ma go build my team in my Tidus-only game and play some now.

When I first tried it I -HATED- blitzball, but I ended up loving it after I got *that one goalie*. I forget who it was but he was a freaking brick wall, nothing ever got past him and I kicked so much *** after that.

I actually think it was the original goalie for the team, but you had to get him a certain level before his stats shot up through the roof or something. Been so long @_@

o_o What server are you on, Bob?
