Just can't wait!

Man, I wish tomorrow was Saturday! How sad is it when someone is this excited about playing video games in his basement on a Saturday night? Pretty sad, I'm sure.

For the price of purchasing Final Fantasy 11, I can get six months of Ragnarok Online. RO was a good game, but I think there are just some things about FFXI that I'd like so much more. Graphics, classes, battles, everything. Mind you, that doesn't mean I'm going to actually go buy FFXI because of it. At about $20/month, that's $240/year, not including the first year. That's a lot to invest in one game. The trouble with MMORPGs is, you can't play them nostalgically. The monthly fees are always there, and eventually, they discontinue the servers. No servers, no game. I won't be able to play this game in ten years....mind you, by then they'll have Final Fantasy 20 out.

I just signed up for a 50 MB account on prohosting.com, and uploaded one video. I won't bother posting the link yet, until I have some videos of decent quality and size up. This one is only 2 MB, and I'd like to re-encode it at higher quality. I'm gonna have to encode all my other videos again, since they'rea ll too big.

Thank god for Friends being over. I hate that show. I'm really not a fan of any show that has a live audience. It's like the producers of the show think that the real audience is too dumb to know when the punchlines are. I deserve more respect than that. But now it's over. Good stuff, the world is at balance again. Well, maybe not until Everybody Loves Raymond is off the air as well. Sorry John, but any sitcom that has someone making over a million dollars every episode should be taken off the air.

So, what game will I defeat when I'm done FF9? Unreal is on its way to defeat, and Prince of Persia will either be beaten or ignored eventually. It's a great game in some aspects, but very repetitive and frustrating in others. Maybe that's when I'll decide to get a MMORPG...or maybe I'll try to beat -- nay, conquer -- FFX again. I've still got a save partway through. I think I'll drop the dough on FFX-2 when it suffers a price drop. I mean, I am a squaresoft fanboy. I've got to buy it eventually. Hence more reasoning to buy FFXI. Eh, I really like the battle/ability systems of FF games, but I really like medieval themes -- that is, swords and sorcery -- much more than futuristic ones, which is why I'm a little disappointed to hear that FFXII has big cities and such in it. I'm still gonna buy it, though.
