  ff VIII

  Long time no see. You guys probably forgot me I regret very much not having been here the last few months and commenting on your blogs and such, it's been hectic. From jan to now, i've only played and beaten guild wars prophecies 3x and fma: broken angel. I've been hit by the mmorps syndrome for a bit playing guild wars and practically ate and slept guild wars. I'm a recovering mmo now... trying to use final fantasy VIII to ease my way out of mmos for a while. VIII is quite a controversial game. Some people hate it, some love it. The friend who lent me the game believes it's the best game of all time and if i were to suggest otherwise he would probably burst a vein, and yet another friend quit after the 3rd disk because the relationship between squall and rinoa was getting to her. I could see a bit of her point playing it. It is a bit out of the blue when squall transitioned from "Whatever" to "I LOVE YOU RINOA". A little sickly sweet but still sweet though, heh i just feel so sorry for Quistus. What did you guys think of the relationship? (please keep it spoiler light ) Oh yeah and triple triad I have a love/hate relationship with. Hatred for random/open but love for everything else. It took me a while to get used to the guardian force system but it's very much like the djinns in golden sun although more customizable.

  Omg NOOB!!!

  A little bit angry at some of the peple who play in the shiverpeaks arena in guild wars. Basically it's a pvp arena with a pool of water in the middle and is moderately spacious. A fight allows players to either run around the water or charge into the water directly but with a speed penalty. Now this set up allows players to use running skills to avoid enemies (specifically warriors), but alas noobs call this noobish. Why do they call it noobish? Because their flawed and limited movesets do not have a counter for this. Granted, a runner w/o resurrection or a means to kill the opponent SHOULD just give up and concede the game and not waste everyone's times but it just ticks me off about how some noobs call all forms of running NOOBISH. In a middle of a battle for example, I found myself with the warriors wailing on my health and my defensive measures weren't going to hold up against their assault so I ran them and let them pursue me for half the map before my teammates finished killing their unsupported allies and met up with me to kill them. Now they then called me a noob because I kept RUNNING. What was i supposed to do? Sit there and peck away at their superior armor with a bow? Let myself die? No way. It's never over until it's over and one battle I had really evidenced this. I was the only player left against 3 and I ran a good distance from my pursuers and ressurrected a party member. I kept running and let them chase my while my other party member ressurected another and then another. Soon our lost was a victory, even though in the beginning they already kept spamming me with messages like "OMG NOOB YOU LOST QUIT RUNNING!" Instead of accusing me of acting like a noob they should have paid attentioned to what i was doing and took notice of their surroundings. It ticks me off that they can't handle something like running and must resort to such senseless remarks. Running isn't cheap, nor is it broken. Spellcasters can handle it, warriors have thier own running skills. I deal with runners all the time as a ranger, and I can pick them off easily when prepared. And if you can't chase me, do something else like help your own teamtates with a rez or in a fight. Arggggggggggggggggh, just venting... don't mind me and my guild wars babble
