New Dynamis Linkshell

Published on October 23, 2006 in Final Fantasy XI. 0 Comments

That’s right folks. I’m back into it. My Black Mage has nailed 47, Paladin got an extra level of padding to 61 and my Dark Knight has got it’s level back. Good? Perhaps, but…

I have 1,385 Gil in my possession.

It makes me sad that I’ve run out of money again. I’m missing quite a few black magic spells and haven’t been able to aford food lately. I’m not really sure how I’m going to remedy this yet, but let’s just say it’s not on the front burner.

On Wednesday evening, I found Doshu and saw his comment about a Dynamis Linkshell. I figure, would he take me? So I ask him and this afternoon I took up Dynamis – Jueno for round three! This brings me now to 2/3 for Jeuno. Can I do another one yet? Heh. Wednesday has got Beaucedine? Wait, that can’t be right. We’re supposed to do cities for the next month. *Goes to yap at Doshu*

But anyway, durring the entire Dynamis event, I noticed the shell doesn’t have a website anywhere. So in the span of two and a half hours I threw together a website for the linkshell. While doing Dynamis. We only wiped once durring the entire event (shell was cocky after their return from the northlands, they normaly never wipe) and I managed to do my job exceptionaly well. What I find funny about the shell is the name because it suits me way too well. So, to the many people who read my blog (after some recent posts I know people still do), say hello to the new website for the Dynamis Linkshell We can’t win. (Yes, that is an offshoot of my personal domain. I own the site after all.)

After Dynamis was over, I made tweaks and improvements to the site, as well as some personal touches. Then me and Doshu spent about 20 minutes thinking of witty titles for members. They change every ten (or five) posts. That was a personal blast.

And my Dark Knight is 36 again.

Well, I guess I got some work to do then.

Night.

I kinda forgot to mention this part

Always a good thing. I had the fun an exciting time to go back to Utica this weekend. I spent some time giving my baby some love (Read: Drove my Lan Evo IX around), got rid of the window air conditioner and picked up my apprentice for a weekend of fun.

SITACon

So yeah, I’ll admit I was thinking the convention was going to bomb. Aparently I wasn’t right. It was a great event. Highlight include my haggling skills, Video Game Pianist, Corbin, “He’s right there damnit!”, Your favorite anime sucks and “Anime is made just so the rest of the world can watch with *Expression*”.

So it’s your standard con, hang out with friends, watch anime, buy stuff and generaly have a good time. Breakdown of some of the above are as follows:

Haggling Skills: I bought about $350 or so worth of shwag for $90. I must of kept rolling 20s on my persuasion checks or something. I scored a Negima Starter Box Set and 201 DVD some random Brocolli Shwag, Two Chobits Wall Scrolls, Tsubasa Chronicle Sakura Figure and I think that’s it.

Video Game Pianist is the guy who’s been on EBaumsWorld who played a long Mario Theme Blindfolded. So he gets on stage, Corbin blindfolds him and he does it. He also played a tune standing up and backwards (as in back to the piano). Quite an amazing pianist and I’d love to see him again.

Corbin (the con chair) was just funny as hell. A guy who hasn’t slept in three days is about as funny to be around as your average drunk guy. Seriously. He also did “Your favorite anime sucks” which was quite a good segment. Made fun of some very popular anime and also was insightful as to why Naruto seems like a DragonBall Z clone and they even provide insight to DBZ to boot.

And the last one I feel like talking about: “He’s right there damnit!” Yeah. If anyone’s played Super Smash Brothers Melee you’ll get this rather quickly. The prelimenaries were a four person melee to elimiate two people. My character, Roy, sucks in big melee. In duels he’s much better. So, since Cornaria (Spelling?) is so big all I do is stand on the nose of Great Fox and wait. I was consistantly ignored and by the time there was one left, he had one stock and I had all four of mine left. I walked up, slapped him across the face and won. Cowardly? Perhaps. But you cannot deny victory. I made it towards the middle of the tournament and I think I would of been in 6th place or so. I also was completely undefeated for the entire weekend in Soul Calibur II for GCN. Way too much fun.

I think that’s about the size of it. I did a bit of Blue Mage to calm my nerves this evening before bed and that worked out ok. Bedtime.

Yeah. Um. So.

Ok. I’ve gotten every job SE’s released for FFXI to 10. I think that’s a good start eh? Of course.

But for a second I want to speak about my real life. (Oh noes!) I just got back from Best Buy to buy some electronics for my apartment. So I get home and think to myself just how good things in my life are going. In school I have a 4.0 and still have perfect attendance. This being the most amazing thing I’ve ever done. I get up to accept my award and the dean (imagine me, add about 30 years and a beard. Yes, same hair with some grays, glasses and deadly similar personalities.) basicly said, “You’re nuts. You’re the only person to do that this quarter.”

And my new job. Yeah. On top of the freelance work, the database administration for the online company I have a job as a Systems Administrator. I just got my paycheck this morning at 12:00AM. I had this ear to ear expression on my face. $570 and change. I’ve been working this job for 20 and just one week. So I figure, let’s go buy anime. So I do. What else do I do with money?

Also, I’ve procured a garage for my car. Someplace where I can keep my Evo safe from all the people I don’t know about around here.

So my conclusion? Life is good. It’s going my way. Though, I wish I could squeeze in some more Final Fantasy XI here and there. Oh well.
