What have you been doing while waiting?

[Deathbreed]

I have been playing Fiesta,Space Rangers 2 and cards.I have tried a bunch of other games but can't seem to get into them.:confused:

[BellaAnimorum]

I work the whole week through.
On weekends I play StarCraft, or other solo PC games, or various console games.

*Tried and true gamer here, since '87 baby!*

[pradalady]

Mostly DOMO, which is getting boring.

[StPauliGirl]

I work weekend graveyard!
So I am on all the time!
I have been... drinking... other intoxicants shall not be mentioned...
playing Wolf ET, 2moons at acclaim.com, domo closed beta, Ragnarok,and others. Can't seem to really get into em either:)

My lvl 47 fighter Atari anxiously awaits OB ( now lvl 1 wee )
Look forward to some hardcore grinding with every1 soon!

I like Maple Story,it is a cute little game.Still not SoS.

[Propanol]

Even Xenepic doesn't attract me at all compared with SoS.
So currently I'm conducting a normal life as a student.

[ryuchi]

Trying everything to keep the voices at bay:D

[Trashknight]

Fiesta, Kingdom Hearts, Primal, Kirby Canvas Curse, going to the University, Larry Lovegood: Magna *** laude, Pokemon Pearl....

[izabellizima]

When I'm not online I'm doing school work or working out.
Oh, and I tetris. That's the only game that's ever kept my attention.
Also, since I've never rpgd,I'm nervously awaiting on the sidelines and taking tips from my pro-gamer boyfriend.

[POURI]

Working in hospital... Drinking with my pals... Reading SOS forum every day ;-)

[ryuchi]

If you are.....well.....I just hope I never go to that hospital when I'm sick X3

[POURI]

[Anmbia]

I made my own tetris game (for windows). Wanna play? :P

I've been playing a lot of other games ( maple story, DOMO, fiesta, flyff ), but I still like SoS the best of all. Also, I've been browsing through addictinggames.com

[MiseryIndex]

Well I've been to 3 parties now. I had to bail a friend out of jail and go to court for him. Also I had to talk to my ex girlfriend who is now more or less (and has been for like 11 months) my best friend. So I stayed with her for awhile.

I spoke to my other ex girlfriend about her wanting to be friends again and that I wasn't particually interested in it because despite my wishes (when we were friends) she didn't take my advice and then when she epic'ly failed because she didn't take my advice she came running back blaming everything on me as if I haddn't even told her.

Also had to sort out a boohoo fest thanks to another ex girlfriend wanting to steal the limelight of a former friend that (has to be in the spotlight) or there is mega drama.

At first I was like "In for more" (drama that is) and then when I got involved in it I tried to leave but a girlfriend of mine wrapped a towing chain around my arm and tried to tie me to the closest foundation which gave me bruises.

Also I had a major presentation today that I sucked at because I wasn't ready for it. Despite being petrified I got 88% on it, the worst point was that I never looked directly at any of them lulz I was always flicking through my work while talking so I "acted like they were not there" <_<

Apart from all that, getting drunk, did that drag race I said I would and I won $277 AU (Yeah I know its not much but sush up rich boyz). And yeah.
Everything has been ok lately.

Thanks what I have been doing while I wait.

Methinks you have problems holding a relationship.
Other than that, who cares how much money it is, good job on winning something... it's better than 99% of everyone can do.

[MiseryIndex]

I am the epic fail on relationships. And thats nothing to be proud of. One thing I'll admit in life is that I totally suck trying to hold a relationship together. But well its a joint effort :D

/forced smile.

Well at less you have relationships

I never had one T.T

I fail in life.

[MiseryIndex]

Lol. I used to always feel like that. I just needed to go out more and party and take loads of chances. I got good in racing and then everyone started liking me :) I started small like with just regular driving and then I got my L's (Learners Permit) and then started experimenting and seeing what I could pull off without wiping out. I just got my P's (Provisional Permit) like 2 days ago (we had a drag to celebrate, I told you about it) and yeah. Best drag racer around these parts :) The chicks love me and well it might be shallow love but there are always the girls in there that don't care about how good you are in a car. Because they like you as a person. Just hard to find them, but like most things in life you need to give everyone a reason to look at you. Like I did. I went from loser to "You lose gimmie the winingings"

Chin up :) It's not hard.

[Palleh]

Been playing alot of Halo 3 and CoD: 4 Assassins Creed and i also play anotehr online game called Tibia

Well theres many factors for you to consider that would not make me as
confident as you.....but I don't feel like typing a long winded speech about
how much a loser I am

lets just say I'm not an cant be as confident as you T.T


btw...do you drive stick?

[MiseryIndex]

Drive Stick? Thats a term I've never heard before.

And in regards to you never having enough confidence about yourself.
Well I didn't either. I basically started to like to drive, realised I was really good.

Dad bought me a car which I rode off like a week later.. <_< But it had insurance and they payed up 90% of it. So I got a Ford Fairlane :D (I love them) and I fixed it up myself and tuned it. And well now it runs like a beast and its 9 - 11 inches lower to the ground for more handing and yeah.

Just find out what you like best and exploit it.

P.S Having a girlfriend isn't everything. Some of them are pricks. And they are hard to manage.

[ryuchi]

Drive Stick? Thats a term I've never heard before.Stick..you know...Standard....Manual Transmission


and like i said....lots of factors to consider.
I'll explain myself some other time lol X3


P.S Having a girlfriend isn't everything. Some of them are pricks. And they are hard to manage.lolz

[MiseryIndex]

I'm serious. All of my girlfriends have required me to totally change my life completely to meet "their" needs. Which isn't fair and is almost impossible. They can be quite demanding and well I'm talking about them in general. You think your friends with someone now? Try being in a relationship with them. They change.... LOTS.

And yes Manual ROFL. I had to rip the Auto transmission out of my Fairlane and replace it but its fine lulz. Automatics are for wa*kers..

[Claiomh.Solais]

That’s so damn true. I just hate how absorbing most of them can be.

Oh well, I don’t really feel like talking about my f**ked up love life right now, but I don’t think yours has been so bad.

And btw ryuchi, while this may sound offensive, your problem is you need a life. If your love life so far sucks, there has to be a reason for it. And of course, being around here all day it’s not helping you. Go to more parties, improve your looks, try to do something that may attract females (even reading books could help if you target any intellectual chick for example), do some exercise (being either too fat or too tiny is definitely a turn off), etc. It’s not really that hard, but seating in front of the comp or the TV definitely won’t help. Also, if you don’t have much personality (bad thing, girls likes someone who seems sure of himself), it’s better to say little but make it count than talking a lot and saying just stupid things.

[MiseryIndex]

The fist thing that neesd to change before you can do any of that however is that you need to change your attitude. This however is the easiest thing to do simply because it means you don't have to get off your ***..

Like I said do that, then find out what your good at if you don't know already.

I'm great at typing on a keyboard so I used these skills to be a good driver and have great reflexes for dragging and just racing in general. Racing and dragging makes me sweat loads and I have to concentrate more then the average driver because I'm younger and if the stakes are higher its always good to have my confidence in my ability for hand eye co-ordination. Which I got from typing so much. Lol.

When you learn something you usually never forget it.

Parties are definatly the best way to meet people. If your not invited or don't think you would fit into any of the ones happening around you then well... go somewhere else, somewhere furthur away from home.
Thats what I did basically I wasn't 'welcome' to any of the ones around here so I went to a few out of town where people couldn't judge me because someone else already set my populariaty(sp) and I met a few people, (more girls then guys) simply by getting pissed, taking chances and having fun. Don't try and stand out more then the person next to you. Always remember this. And well if you spot someone looking at you then look back and talk to them. Remember that they don't know you and well they cant hurt your self esteem because your not friends.(yet).

Make phonecalls but never call twice in a row. If they never call back. Pfffft theres plenty more where that came from.

Usually the hardest step is actually putting your foot forward for the first time. Afterwards just like a level in a game, you know the prodecure you know what to expect and well you should do fine. If you can get a friend to go with you, then defiantly do that. You can always split up laterz.

If you don't drink at the party (and other people do) then your missing out on the people who may like guys who drink more. BUT! If you don't drink you wont be missing out on the girls who like their guy F.R.E.S.H and not a clown because hes smashed off his face.

You don't have to be in the center of the party as well. You can just chill off to the side, but don't look to much of a loner because this isn't good... (That sounded so lame lulz).
Join into a conversation with some people who don't look like they are too closely knit friends, because they might not let you join in.

If something embarrasing happens to you, (due to someone elses fault) just laugh it off and feel sorry for the person who just vomited on you, sat on you, fell on you etc etc. because if you make it look like a big deal (even without saying anything) people will go right off you. Just pretend that your smashed off your face (if your not) and whoever was watching will know that your cool.

Theres not much else info I can give you bruthur. Except that if you have populariaty(sp) issues then you need to get outside "the box".
Go somewhere, where people don't know you. And make new friends. Hook up with some people and ask for the latest stuff, gatherings, dances, moshes & concerts and sh*t.

Watch your new life begin.

Now that was way too long and I'm going to bed its 3am.
And I just got p00ned on OGame.. *groans*

[ryuchi]

Great~
you had to throw in your two cents as well huh Claiomh.Solais

just trust me when i say that for me......its a little hard to more open.
I was raised in a cage....metaphorically speaking an I really can't talk to people

[MiseryIndex]

You do quite well on here. Whats the difference IRL ?

[ryuchi]

This is script....its verbal that I have problems with

[Ferria]

Online, chat, shop, hang with friends, dance training, performances, gigs, gaming, sleep, eat, hang with mum, bug dogs, pick on Steparu, get pwned by Steparu, game, game, game, dance, perform, game, eat, cook, bake, sleep, edit some mixing, do mastering, go out, eat, sleep, talk to Steparu, blackmail Haruka, ... annoy Merc, talk to Monda, draw, bug Jellocake, .... chat chat chat chat.... listen to music..

GOD.. *dies*

[Claiomh.Solais]

This is script....its verbal that I have problems with

If you have a serious shyness, try going out on things that get you to talk with people on daily situations (go shopping or try to talk with a teacher or something like that). Also, if you feel you’re getting nervous, just shut up and count to ten while you take a deep breath and calm yourself. You can even do that in front of anyone if you just say you got dizzy or whatever.It's better to be slow but composed than to just shot the first thing that came to your mind (which is likely to fail).

Of course, you could always just give up and be basement dweller for the rest of your life with no IRL friends, but I definitely think that’s not very fulfilling.

[Ferria]

*coff* I feel you girl, lolz.

Working in hospital... Drinking with my pals... Reading SOS forum every day ;-)
Lolz, some funky Doc you are! XD


And Ryuchi.. if you're not so confident, you cant keep thinking that way nee, just keep looking up and not down, and dont bother bout what you go through, cuz even though you're living in that 'cage' of yours... ermm.. you can always find things that makes YOU happy. Dont let whatever it is youre going through bring you down, come on, you're missing out in life nya! Maybe you don't have to be 'so happening' but you can get a few good buddies and do things and start from small.. i dont know, movies or what? @__@;

Just uhh.. dont look down on yourself. You need to try to walk forward nya! :3

... you have no idea how 'shy' i am with new people, well, i'm more shy with foreigners.. cuz IRL i'm really hyper and am exactly how i am here.. XD;;

But i was really scared and shy and lacked of self-confidence etc like you before nya. So you can ganbatte! Take some of these guy's advise ne? ^^

*coff* ... although the erm.. general opinions about 'females' are rather 'interesting' XD No worries, no offense taken! ;3

I've been through enough to tolerate demanding bf's or spoilt and stubborn and ones! BWAHAHAHH!! *is shot* After all, why'd i agree to be with them if i couldn't tolerate them? XD

While we as men have that opinion about the girls we have been with, it's not like for many girls is the other way around xd.

Indeed, men also tend to be complete asses.

Why don't you find out for yourself? lol
And it depends, girls usually have it easier since the guys are usually the ones that are approaching us.
And if you seriously don't fix your shyness, how are you going to do other things like getting a job?
You don't want to end up like this guy now do you?

[Kusanagi_K]

I'd say that'd be the classic 'it depends on the person', stuff like personality, ideals and all that makes up the difficulty... so for example if your a shy guy it'd be hard for you to chat up a girl but then... you'd need to straigthen up your act or else you wouldn't be able to get a girl...

[ryuchi]

crud~.......

[Claiomh.Solais]

seriously off topic now guys lol.....oh well

For girls to get guys.

At any given moment there are (always) a lot of lonely males that would get laid with basically anything. It doesn’t happen the same the other way around. Also, it’s very easy for an ugly girl to get an attractive guy simply by getting him drunk, showing him “the goods” and getting him aroused. That also doesn’t really work the other way around (or at least it’s waaaaaay harder).

[izabellizima]

I made my own tetris game (for windows). Wanna play? :P

I've been playing a lot of other games ( maple story, DOMO, fiesta, flyff ), but I still like SoS the best of all. Also, I've been browsing through addictinggames.com

You made one?! That's spiffy. I would so play!!!

A crude, but true, synopsis of reality.
By far one of the most powerful weapons women have over men is appeal.
What you should think about is - What drives you? (or rather, what motivates you?)
A woman can go out and get (almost) any guy she would want, all it takes is some patience and a little subterfuge. Like Claiomh said, she could go and put all her cards on the table, showing him what she has to offer, and 9 times out of 10, he WILL take the bait. However, not everyone works like this. What if the guy is a player? He could go along with her scheme up to the last minute, then say to her face (with a look that could only be described as 'annoyed') "No. I don't think so." I could go on and on with scenarios, but I'll shift gears instead...
A man has to make many efforts in his attempt to find someone. Again, it comes down to motivation. What are you in it for? The game? Getting some? Or the satisfaction of knowing you could go out and just do it? Since the reasons are many and varied, I'll narrow my examples. Let's say the guy is shy, and very lonely. At times like this, girls will pick up on his 'desperateness', whether or not he really IS desperate, is besides the point. Shyness gives off a vibe, if you will, and girls instantly know how to detect it (unless they are pure and innocent, a rare breed indeed.) The dilemma: How to approach. It's all about first impressions. I'll stop here because there are over hundreds of books on this sort of thing.

Really it all comes down to how you feel about yourself as a person.
NOBODY wants to be around a 'woe is me' kind of person.

Anyone else care to give their two cents?

[Ferria]

Mmmhmmm... lolz. XD But anyhow... i think generally, both guys and girls have their ways of getting each other. ^^;; Cuz at times both of them are trying to get each other, even without realizing it.. lolz.

[DragoonGXG]

Playing a lot of Ragnarok Online. The game looks very similar to this one. Almost like a clone. (Meaning this in a good way)

[izabellizima]

seriously off topic now guys lol.....oh well

do you guys think its easier for guys to get girls or for girl to get guys?

It goes like this:

Anybody with confidence can get anyone. Women have more confidence because we're hit on all the time. Men don't get that ego boost daily so generaly they're not as confident. This is GENERALY speaking.

Getting people is boring! Retaining someone bad *** is more FUN and more challenging (to me anyways).

Amen.

Although, besides the confidence thing, I suppose men have against them their own biology.

[MiseryIndex]

seriously off topic now guys lol.....oh well

do you guys think its easier for guys to get girls or for girl to get guys?

Depends really.

I've never been rejected so I would say guys. Also because none of my mates here get rejected. Which doesn't mean that it doesn't happen around here its just because we fit the material that the girls are looking for.

I see loads of people around my getting rejected but they aren't mates.

[SPDgonzales]

i've been just looking at the forums, going to www.solsticeplayer.com , watching SoS gameplay vids and doing other things in the "real" world:)

is it me, or is there alot of solsticeplayer ads?

[Ferria]

Yeah... outspark ads.. talk about famous XD

[BellaAnimorum]

I'm just glad I have work 5 days a week to keep me occupied, not that I would be doing anything else besides playing other games or spending time here...

[MiseryIndex]

is it me, or is there alot of solsticeplayer ads?

Agreed.. I think I'm going to start reporting them. I'm sick of seeing the Poll up here with the url in the thread name as well. This isn't a place where you can advertise your phailure forums.

[Ryoshiro]

What have I been doing..? Nothing at all.. just watching animes.. found out what I need. Because lately Iv'e been bored to death.. but because of Air Gear, I know what I need in my life! I need speed and action! Next summer I'm going to try Roller Blading or test BMX, lol.

[MiseryIndex]

What animes have you been watching? I need a few more decent ones to watch seeing as I've seen just about everything.

[Claiomh.Solais]

What animes have you been watching? I need a few more decent ones to watch seeing as I've seen just about everything.

Watch "Gankutsuou: the Count of Monte Cristo" if you haven't.

While based on the Alexandre Dumas novel, that anime stands for itself and is way better than a lot of nowadays ****ty series.

Another good enough series would be Claymore.

And if you’re into love comedies, Lovely Complex is very good and doesn’t have the same failures most of the genre tends to have.

Also, for something creepy and incredibly immersive (if you like suspense and mystery that’s it), Higurashi no naku koro ni wins the day.

I've seen the actual movie "The count of monte cristo" its one of my favourites.
Amazing plot and storyline.

"What happened to your mercy?"
"I'm a count not a saint".

Are you telling me there is an Anime on it? I wont watch it, seeing as I saw the movie and the anime will no doubt be the same.

Lovely Complex... hmmmm.. I'll search for a review.

[Rodaa]

About the anime of the Count of Monte Cristo, while based on the book (and the movie btw is also just based on the book, it has a lot of differences), is also very different.

First, the anime is set on a very distant future, while still maintaining the aesthetics of the 1800s France. So for example, the carnival where the Count meets Albert (the son of his original fiancé and his old best friend, as was in the original book, in the movie it was changed so Albert was actually son of the Count) is now on the moon instead of on Rome.

Also, it follows the story form the point of view of Albert (which make the manipulations of the Count much more enjoyable) instead of from the point of the Count.

And the overall look of the anime is just amazing.

Believe me, this anime is worth it.

[MiseryIndex]

Oh I see. I'm getting visions of "Teasure Planet" now that you mentioned moon.

I'll check it out, no doubt then. Funny they would make an Anime on it.
Is it an official Anime?

Dunno what you meant by official, but it was made by gonzo, one of the biggest and well known anime studios.

[MiseryIndex]

Then It's official.

Sometimes fans create unofficial animes and mangas. They aren't official because they arn't made by the people who created the anime, or are licened to reproduce the manga/whatever into a television show.

[BellaAnimorum]

Here's a couple of animes that I think are essential to any fan's collection:

1. Neon Genesis Evangelion
2. The Slayers
3. Boogiepop Phantom
4. Lain
5. Blue Gender (a great show, but bad ending...)
6. Berserk
7. Trigun
8. (Original) Mobile Suit Gundam
9. Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
10. Karas 1 & 2

Well, they're good in my opinion.

[Ryoshiro]

What animes have you been watching? I need a few more decent ones to watch seeing as I've seen just about everything.

Well.. Clannad, Shakugan No Shana (ep 8 season 2.), Air Gear (best one Iv'e seen, it's amazing!), Green Green (That was good tho.), Chibi vampire.. That's what Iv'e seen in this month.. So nothing, much.. Just about 100 good ones, 100 not that good ones.. this year. It takes forever to list, since I stop watching some at the middle.

[pradalady]

I seriously have never watched animes before. Am I missing out on anything good?

[BellaAnimorum]

It depends.
Anime is not for everyone.

It depends.
Anime is not for everyone.


Also, there's a very big difference between the typical series aimed at the masses (like Yu gi oh, pokemon, digimon, or even a little more mature ones that become too massive, like naruto, bleach or one piece); and series that are indeed aimed at a more mature audience and also have more depth to them.

If you want a good series, I would really recommend Gankutsuou (I already posted above about it), you just can’t go wrong with that one.

And of course, you should always remember that anime is basically produced in japan for a japanese audience, it has become more massive and is liked by a lot of people around the world, but it’s still a product from japan, to the japanese, so it’s not uncommon to find elements from their culture on anime series and therefore if you’re not used to those, it could be a turn off.

[Drelovely]

i've been watching naruto, naruto shippuden, playing Pokemon Diamond, and making sure i don't fail classes by studying....

[Deathbreed]

The only one I have watched was Overlord or something like that.It was more of a sick cartoon **** than anything else.:eek:

If you already like anime, search according to theme or style, that is...

funny makes sence: slayers, cowboy beebop
funny ***: excell saga
funny AND T&A: Mai Hime
dark action: beserk
funny action: trigun

I could go on, but you need to be more specific on what you dig. I've never seen Naruto or Bleach (4 episodes of that, not enough to know it).

Not sure why, but that’s definitely one of my favorite series xd

And definitely not for the ecchi, for that there’re way better series.

So damn true. Those series are the anime example of tl;dr.

[BellaAnimorum]

No crap! You go to any anime store or just store that sells anime apparel and you're guaranteed to find SOMETHING related to naruto or bleach.
It's... it's too much X.x

I'm glad they (naruto bleach) are there to lure anime fans with potential to move on to better shows, however. I mean, the local anime store makes money off the merchandise and they stay afloat to bring the rest of us other stuff.

If you liked My Hime try Girls Bravo for humor and hotties. Not nearly as cool as My Hime, though!

[BellaAnimorum]

Yes yes, the stores benefit. The point I was making is that the amount of merchandise of a -select- few animes is astounding.

[izabellizima]

Get your point. Totally agree. Our points don't interfere.
We should so be doing more............productive things!

[Ferria]

What have I been doing..? Nothing at all.. just watching animes.. found out what I need. Because lately Iv'e been bored to death.. but because of Air Gear, I know what I need in my life! I need speed and action! Next summer I'm going to try Roller Blading or test BMX, lol.
Air Gear is a good anime, but i'd recommend you to read the MANGA better. ^^



Anyhow... Anime is kinda made by and for the Japanese *coff* ..(is proud to be one) .. and well, they kinda get influenced generally and adapt to the foreign culture. The study alot about everything else, which is why anime has different genre's, stages and styles. And all the cultures... thats also why it's known pretty much worldwide.

I'm pretty sure you wanna watch a typical boring cartoon that's just about Japan and daily life no? XD Imagine... everyday:

Guy: Hey! Whatre you doing?
Girl: watching and reading manga
guy: i see, wanna hang out?
girl: sure

bla bla bla

guy: its school!
girl: yea!
guy: lets go together~ :: insert romantic bicycle scene here ::
girl: thanks!
guy: see you after school!



AND..

Repeat that over again.. LOL XD

*is shot*
Man that was lame. Lol.

[izabellizima]

Air Gear is a good anime, but i'd recommend you to read the MANGA better. ^^


Mangas are better in general unles they came AFTER the anime.

I'm not japanese, but as a child I grew up in Mexico, where cartoons are imported frmo around the world. Anime was mixed in with US cartoons during regular toon hours. Robotech followed Thundercats followed Astroboy followed Scooby followed Zodiac Knights.....

Nana is my addiction right now...I'm such a girl!

[Ferria]

Yep yep... agreed. In a way~ o________o;; Anime ish naish for entertainment, but sometimes ANIME can be better than the MANGA~ X3

[Varlin]

Well I have been play new games that really in my opinion just cant stack up to sos's quality of gaming style.

Games I have tried: Last Chaos, Scions of fate,Silk Road, Shayia, and mix master...... and I think it was one other but it sucked *** so much I forgot about it..... Give me ob or I will pee on ur teddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Saiato]

I'm trying out Ragnarok Online 2 and working on my final projects/essays...I can assure you that it's a terrible combination >_>

Cromartie ROCKS!! "wait, that's not OUR gorilla"

[Kona_chan]

Completed NFS ProStreet, and now i have nought to do except some photography or work.

Edit: oh and watch anime of corse, Currently watching Ghost hound, keroro gunsou, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, sketchbook, bleach and naruto. but they are all once a week things, so they dont fill much time wating for this.

[Claiomh.Solais]

If you liked My Hime try Girls Bravo for humor and hotties. Not nearly as cool as My Hime, though!

Actually what I like the most from My Hime is the whole mix of comedy and drama and mostly the train wreck the series become with the whole himelander thing xd

[kikiloveyou]

Being a newfag I usually watch whichever anime series are new,
even if I am very bored of it.
More often I go for the Eroge.

Also I've gotten back into WoW
(it's worth playing when I don't have to pay for it myself :3 )
along with testing a few other games.

And the weekend after CB ended I had a convention to attend to.

Oh, and I've been reallyreally sick : D
In the hospital in and out for the past month.
Good times, good times.

[barbozaao]

Fiesta and water margin

[Munhozmib]

Well, I've been playing Tribal Wars all long. You should all try to play it, it's nice, actually. May take some strategy, but it's worth it. I like it.

[Shishiboo]

I've tried out a couple other mmo's, like Fiesta, DoMo, Nostale, but got bored on those really fast.. SO.. I decided to uninstall em and try and get Xenepic to work. It decided to mess up the first like 3 times I downloaded it.. but the 4th time it was successful. Its a decent game, with really nice people that will run by heal/buff/defend u if your in need(kinda like SoS but much harder to understand them :P) Its pretty much just like SoS.. but you dont change jobs at lvl 16.. its at 31 instead XD but U can pick from Archer/Predictor along with the original Magician/Rogue/Fighter/Acolyte. I am currently lvl 26 and "slowly" workin my way up. They have their own branches I dont feel like getting into detail about it I could go on all day lol.. But yea.. its a great craving filler if ur wanting to play SoS badly enough(like me).. So yea.. other than when none of my friends r on Xenepic.. Music.. TV.. Mall.. Food.. Movies.. Parties.. and other bunches of random things.

Toodles!

Completely agree! *totally embarased because she misjudged you*
I enjoyed the fan service. I wonder if My Otome is any good. If you dug My Hime for the abovementioned reasons, then Slayers might rock your world.

@ Kona Chan : never heard of any of those except naruto and bleach. anime is addicting though, isn't it?

[Claiomh.Solais]

Don't worry, I've never minded that much what others may think of me.

Now, My Otome… That’s a hard one. It’s complete garbage if you compare it to My Hime, but still is not a bad series. It also has a damn lot of bonus points because it reminds you of My Hime and is nice to rediscover the characters in new situations (i.e., I completely loved Nao from hime, so seeing her again this time not as a tragic antagonist, is full of win). Also, the story is still good enough (although, the train wreck factor is smaller), so I would advice watching it. And, while the main characters are overall smaller (in age) than those in Hime, I think Otome does indeed have more fanservice (and even more on the OVAs xd).

About Slayers, that series is damn good. Same about Lost Universe (from the same author and somewhat related to Slayers.) :D

[izabellizima]

@ Claiomh : Thanks for the tip. I was a Mikoto Shizuru fan, and I'm glad the good word on classics such as Slayers is being spread.
*off to youtube my otome*

[Claiomh.Solais]

This time around Shizuru is also on the side of the good guys (well, she wasn’t really evil back on Hime, just… herm… insane xd)… oh, and she’s also as lesbian as ever *¬*

As for Mikoto, she's still basically the same. It's even hinted that she could be the very same Mikoto that we saw on Hime, although what sucks the most about Otome is that there’re a lot of hints here and there that the universe of My Otome is just a far away future of Hime, and yet, nothing conclusive is ever said.

i'm still farting around to pass the time:p

[Saiato]

been playing FFXII: Revenant Wings

Does that expansion have content for low level players? Everytime I try to go back to FFXI, i have to start over at level 1 and be reminded of how miserable that game is at a low level >_> Then I end up giving up before I can actually do anything from the new expansion that inspired me to go back XD

and @ Ferria: ありがとう、がんばります　XD

[Kona_chan]

@ Kona Chan : never heard of any of those except naruto and bleach. anime is addicting though, isn't it?

all of them are currently airing once a week in japan, so they are very up to date, a couple are new this season. its hard to keep up.

Hehe, Your confusing FF12 with the MMO FF11.
FFXII: Reventat Wings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XII:_Revenant_Wings) is based off the orignal FF12, but is on the DS.
Lots of fun none the less though :3
I personally loved playing FF12,
although FF11 not so much~
Have to agree that the beginning leveling sucks.
