someone is a rude gus.
i moved out of portland and quit my job again. Faryn and i packed up and moved halfway across the state to the coast. We live on a boat, which has only enough room for the essentials.
By the way i hate Maplestory. Remember when it was a not-fucking-crowded, simple to pick up and play game, and it was free? yeah well no one else does. I'm still a little bitter over the fact that i got banned. I tried logging on the other day and the game is not at all the same. its like i just watched the original Star Wars in 1977, sure it was popular and a craze, but it was still damn catchy and fun. now pretend you go forward a few years in time and you pick up a new Star Wars film, and you think, 'boy this was the coolest in my day', and you get Jar Jar Binx all up in your shit. Maplestory Jar Jar'd on me. I know 90% of the shit in the game and i was fucking confused as hell like a geriatric senior who shits his pants, when i log on, everything is flashy and new and foreign. Theres all these auto-job assigning classes, and auto-point allotments, and auto-skill suggestions, and tutorials up the ass. its a TWO DIMENSIONAL GAME WHERE YOU WHACK MONSTERS, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME KILL STUFF. Oh, and also they made me verify my password, which i have to do on my email address, problem is i created an email which was made specifically for my Maplestory account. The email is inactive, and was closed, so i dont have access to my main account. Thanks maplestory you fucked me out of my account again, i'm so glad i played you for 4 years of my life only to have you change so much shit that i cant even play anymore.
all of my other accounts i did manage to activate, which doesnt matter because they all have shitty equips, no money, and are low lvled. But they did give me a "Returning Mapler Ring" free from Nexon, which grants me 80% more experience. boy, fuck you, it used to be hard to lvl now and asshole with a weekend to kill can get to the max lvl.
the reason i mention this is because for about a year i've wanted a good game to play. i feel like i'm missing something to occupy my brain, which i think of stuff to draw. I really like gaining stats and watching digital numbers get bigger. i like having a challenge, something i can't master, but always learn new tricks to help me get more efficient. i love the efficiency and order of monitoring exp and finding new ways to yield the best results.
I went through Final Fantasy IV, V, VI, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu III, Earthbound.... Online with Saitei. Super Nintendo Online is great, especially when you kill off the secondary cast of characters, so its basically a Duo.
FF1 on Game Boy Advance in the Dawn of Souls gamepack, is the best version of Final Fantasy. the new dungeons and bosses were actually fun. theres a whole slew of new weapons that made equipment collecting and optimizing something challenging. I saw that FF1 came out on Sony PSP for the 20th anniversary. it added new stuff, but i havent went through it yet. but so far every remake of the game has made it better.
Ive been currently grinding on FF2 because it doesn't use lvling or experience. the game mechanics are supposed to mimic the stat progression method of FF14.
I'm getting really, really excited about FF14. I'll get excited about 13 some other time, i hear it's just a pretty anime movie that you occasionally press the X button to view more of. But ff14, looks good. I'm not sure i have ever gotten so caught up with a game prior to its release.
FF11 was okay, but i hopped aboard a sinking ship when i played. i liked it a whole lot more than other people who have tried it. Aesthetically it was the game i had been looking for, and the gameplay was slow and simple, and was a meal to be savored, instead of junk food which is colorful and quick, then makes your shit runny. FF11 had something missing, something i couldnt really ever put my finger on. It just seemed like it was lacking some major element, maybe a community? maybe some solo quests and lvling? i dunno i try not to waste too much time thinking about it, but it certainly didnt satisfy everything. i felt like exclaiming to square: "Yes! a game like this.... but make it FUN."
i played WoW for three days and hated it. hated the look of it, hated hearing people talk about it, hated the extremely limited customer creation, hated the races, hated the skill progression. hated the login screen, and hated the desktop icon. the music was ambient and good though. it just didn't live up to the endless hype, and theres something about trying something new when its been around for a million years which makes me feel like i ought to give this one up and let it go. i missed the WoW ship, it sailed and i dont want to swim after it.
FF14 though, ive been researching and planning far in advance. Until it comes out ive been trying to occupy myself with something.... i tried Aika online, and it was purdy, but crashed every 15 minutes, and still was broken in a lot of ways.
i guess i'll keep playing super nintendo and playing Puzzle Bobble: Bust-A-Move with Faryn.
