You made my day a little brighter. Thank you.


I WAS going to play Skyrim. But *some* people urged me to try the STEP mods and now it won't open. So I am spending my nights uninstalling it. Reinstalling it. Uninstalling again. Deleting forlders. Reinstalling again.

I'm ready to put my fist through... something. Because you know when I finally get Skyrim working, p4 will open. *facedesk*

I'd love to get into FFXI, but it's a bit late for that, and I'd have to devote extra time to setting it up given my computer. I'm not currently subscribed to any MMOs right now, and the free ones don't hold my attention.

Like many others here, I've been working on my wiki page and browsing the forums, although I don't post too often. I watch a few hours of Netflix per day. And I've got Skyrim and The Witcher. I keep putting those off.

I also have a huge backlog of PS3 games: unfortunately, my barely-used controller decided to go haywire. I'm in the market for a relatively cheap, but acceptable quality third-party controller, and I should be able to get one by this weekend.

The wait is difficult, and I would be echoing Isilme, but I can't even install the beta on my PS3 yet.

...Almost caved and bought Adoulin. Almost. Then I realized it'd be a waste of $30 because I'd be playing phase 4 in a matter of weeks.
I never played FFXI, nor 1.0. So I am pretty new to the FF world in terms of MMOs.. Only other FF games I've played have been VIII and X. I've always loved the series though. Smile So yay ARR!

Ya'll are a bunch of turbo nerds, only sitting around only playing video games. (I'm kidding).

For me, I've been keeping myself busy with getting myself back into drawing everyday, playing Kentucky Route Zero on Steam, playing my Mechromancer on Boarderlands 2, prepping myself to play my first round of air soft, hunting around the local nerd shops for all the issue of Gunpop, seeing all the summer flicks at a drive in theater, planning my move half way across the country, continuing to create my Iron Kingdoms character as well as further developing Bea...

Oh yeah, and yesterday Shuck, myself, and a couple of friends went on a 4+ mile hike to see some abandoned POW tunnels. It was amazing, but the ceiling was literally crawling with bugs the size of mice and it was pitch dark. I'd be lying if I said I didnt shriek...alot. I also currently have no skin on the back of my heels. Good times!

I miss FFXI, had to stop playing back in '07.
No job meant no online gaming, unfortunately. 


Currently I've been replaying through FFVI and FFIX.
The talk of Magitek and such, it could not be helped.   Laugh

Major Jeb to RPC, come in RPC...

Kerbal Space Program just released .21 so I'm having fun with that.

RE: The art of Distraction: Keeping yourself busy till phase 4 - plutosams - 07-25-2013

Trying out FFXI even though I know I won't get very far by time FFXIV launches.  I have also been playing a lot of Animal Crossing...that game is incredible and incredibly addicting.

That said I hate having tan lines so lately I just hide inside with the AC on and play Animal Crossing. Then as it turns out you get tanned in there too.. no place is safe!

I feel this pain so keenly. I'm staying inside baking cookies and playing Guild Wars 2. Also work. Siiiiiiigh.
