Lack of News

Yeah, nothing much has really happened in the last few days. To be honest, this will probably be a recurring theme within this blog. My life is by no means exciting, and the very small number of people to whom I have linked this blog are probably never going to come back to it unless I link it to them directly. Again.

And yet I keep updating it, which is what I've intended to do from the outset; from the very first blog I started. It wasn't about who read it, but that it was there.

I've been playing Final Fantasy XI a lot over the last few days. I'm only a Level 9 Red Mage on the Remora server, but I've read a lot of guides about being a RDM and it seems like it could be fun. I'm having a bit of trouble getting into it in the same way that I did World of Warcraft, but I'm sure that will pass with time. Right now, I'm just leveling up enough to venture into the Dangruf Wadi without those damned Rock Lizards ganging up on me. I can cast Cure, but it's rather ineffective when you're dead in 15 seconds regardless.

Oh, and I've found that it is impossible to buy a copy of the third expansion pack for FFXI (The Treasures of Aht'Urhgan) online. There just aren't any copies anywhere. Seriously, take a look. They're all out of stock. Even eBay has nothing. It's unprecedented.

I've been slacking off a bit in the 360 and PS2 department of late, with no real progress on Crackdown, Dead Rising or Final Fantasy XII. Granted, I got owned pretty hard on FFXII by some stupid flying blotch of red... think it was called a Salamandite or something. It was floating around that sort of oil-rig structure over the Sand Sea. Figure I must have taken a wrong turn or something.

I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of things in the next few days. I've been reading Discworld novels more than anything else, with The Last Continent and The Fifth Elephant already digested in a few days. On to The Truth now, which I've only read once before. Then onto Thief of Time, which I'm pretty sure is my favourite Discworld novel, if only because I've read it the most. I'll go and get something to drink now... ran out of Bru again.
