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

*raises hand*

I enjoyed the Ernest movies growing up.

My favorite was Ernest Goes to Jail, though.

That's some *** up ***right there lol.

And they didn't even get a Scooby Snack for it.

The real sport of gentlemen!

The *** up part is the mothers lining up to rent their babies out lol

So has everyone "gotten over" the whole end of FFXI news? The forums were so damned depressing for the past 24 hours after that announcement.

My wrists are still wrapped in bandages and hurting.

Huh? You alright?

Well, that's acceptable as long as we ditched the saltiness.

So those of you playing Episode Duscae. What have you found to be the nicest combination of moves/equipment?

It was in response to Art's comment. I haven't recently mutilated myself.

Oh it was in reference to that as a joke and not actually about a suicide attempt for real. Now I feel dumb.

If anything having this "deadline" of content is a bit of a relief, as being up to date with content and playing at my leisure were never on speaking terms. I still remember doing the CoP airship mission and having my teammates yelling at me because I was taking in the story while being on a timer.

Still lingering sadness.

Too busy discussing a small video series involving a new character with a group of friends for it to really be a hindrance.

If anything I'm more interested to see how long this site goes on after the updates stop, and feeling a bit sad at the idea of possibly losing the chance to talk to people I've met here on a regular basis.

Yeah, that's understandable. FFXI was a lot more socially involved than any other MMO I played, and though it's been diluted to having a majority of content solo-friendly, I feel a profound sense of loss of what there once was, and even a bit of regret for not keeping up and in touch with the people I played with most.

At this rate FFXI is going to be a game of leisure and awe. Playing alone and taking in the sights and sounds I once neglected in the past, and when all is said and done, find a place to close the curtain.

Facebook all the thingspeople!

"I feel like a fart on a penguin"

WAT :/

I'm not on derpbook.

Refuse to be.

I signed up for Facebook for a chance into the Diablo III beta (I regret it) and free Alistar in LoL (Don't regret this.) Haven't used it for anything else.

Spath likes a lot of weird pics on FB lol

I think the last time I used Facebook was in 2011. One of the better decisions of my life.

I think the last time I used FB, was when my ex wanted me to use it. that was 8 years ago. Last thing I remember doing was the "which angel are you" quiz.

Spoiler alert, I was the Angel of Destruction, and would ultimately lead the world into the abyss, and be the harbinger of the end of the world.

My facebook has always been very open for anyone wanting to add me. But not everyone is a facebook person, or even if they are they don't always wish to release such personal information to everyone.

Simply put, I have a strong feeling there are some who I'll cease to see because of this. Some may not even know that I actually enjoy reading their posts or talking to them, and that slightly saddens me.

But I'm also one of the guys who was crazy enough to travel down to Texas to meet people who before that I had only ever spoken to over a game. A guy who in 8 months time will be known as "Uncle Spath" to a child that is in no way related to me through blood or "family."

As awkward as I sometimes find it to say, this game was my life at one point and over the last few years it's become readily apparent how much it has influenced the person I am today and the company I keep. In a way I'm happy to know there won't be any worry of needing to return to it after this year, but at the same time... Vana'diel was a second home and all the adventures I had there are etched deeply into my being and I've spent the better part of the last day replaying scenes in my head of my time there. Events... Linkshells... Parties... times that I wonder if without the game and all the people I met in it... "Would I still be here?"

I am a weird person on facebook.

At least I stopped with the emo posts, it's more like a tumblr account to me at this point. XP

I sent ya a friend request, Spath.

Some of you I feel are closer to me than most of my RL friends. I don't mind sending out my number or email if you want to keep in touch.
