Final Fantasy XI (PC): So that Besieged I specifically checked for yesterday and forgot about? We LOST THE ASTAL CANDESCENCE. To the Swarm, no less, so I could've got my AC-loss cutscene, and to my favorite mobs, no less! Soooooooo mad at myself!
Final Fantasy XIV (PC): Rang the bells for my gifts... AND did a couple leves as Cinnaris! He's now a Pug L15. Seems to be getting quite a chunk of EXP on these levels, he went from about 1/3 into 14 to halfway through 15! Gotta get my butt into gear.
Sadly, the frame rate seems to shoot up to 40s-50s at the highest settings while I'm rocking 720p. I haaaate using that much smaller a resolution, but it is infinitely more playable that way, and at this point I might as well play it at a lower res than not at all!
Game Room (360): Didn't actually play anything, just goofed around and got it updated. The prices just seem too much. $3 for an Atari 2600 game I can download for a buck, or free, elsewhere? Sega games I can get on a $20 Sega Genesis Collection with several dozen others?
Neat concept, just too expensive!
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (360): Played through much of the first area as Sonic, got the first emerald (yay! Blue Spheres is fun!) and then saved right before accidentally failing at my second shoot at one. Whoops!
World of Warcraft (PC): Did my AT stuff, then hit up Uldum - whoa, there's a strategy mini-game in WoW. What a novel idea, making Warcraft into a realtime strategy game! Before leaving, just to get some levels, we finished up the Indiana Jones parody, which included a scene where a "Schnotz" guy, beating up Harrison Jones, got sliced up by the propeller on a plane. Classic!
Did the Twilight Highlands opening campaign, only to find out that I need to be *85* for most of the recipes, and that I need to buy them at TWENTY elementium bars a piece. There's big competition for elementium right now since it's an endgame mat. That was all pretty demoralizing, so I did some mining, did some archaeology, then chunked the deuces!

Final Fantasy XI (PC): Meanwhile, I think around the Joust-game time, I was multitasking, and somewhat playing XI! Naturally, nothing good happened this Besieged, simply because I was there, I'm sure. Medusa wasn't defeated, nor did we lose the Astral Candescence, two things I'd like to see (particularly the latter, as I've witnessed the former from far). Ah well!
Hopefully I can get more into XI again soon!
Phantasy Star Universe (360): Just did a quick, partial run of the first Icebreak mission! Can't get myself motivated.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (360): Just played briefly as Sonic into the first couple stages. The graphics look rough at this resolution, but still a fun game! And I looooove the music!
World of Warcraft (PC): Didn't get started till late, and got involved in some ill-fated PvP when a buncha Horde guys were in Goldshire, heheh. Still, we ran them off, even if I was a casualty when all is said and done!
From there, it was back to Hyjal, and after a few quests I was forced to do "A Bird in Hand", one I was trying to avoid. In it, you capture a harpy leader, and are given the option to torture it despite it freely giving you information, and afterward, you can choose to kill or free her. My buddy disgustingly killed her yesterday (even after lamenting things like GTA and an earlier torture quest!), and even worse, it counted for me too, so I had abandoned the quest.
We do enough shady stuff in WoW as it is, I'm NOT gonna straight kill a defenseless person in cold blood. Worse yet, the previous torture quest, where you did NOT kill the guy at the end, caused all sorts of controversy, and nobody's batting an eye at this one. Heck, some people who even refused to do the first torture one, where the guy didn't die, KILLED the victim this time around. Fucked up morals there. <_<
Anyway! From there we went back after Twilight, and did a horrible mission that was an homage to the classic game, Joust. But the mission was painful, and rough for Tam, but at least we got lil mini Jouster companions!
From there, we entered a five man raid, and actually beat the first of two bosses. Took a few tries, but once we had a strategery down, we two-manned it, and I'll post the video to YouTube later.
Before we made our escape, Tam insisted on fighting a random mob, so I let her duke it out, and a took a while, but I certainly wasn't going to help if she wanted to play around and attack mobs who weren't aggroing. x_x
I ended the night doing a bunch of elementium farming. Slowly but surely I'm getting smithing close to cap!
Hopefully I can get more into XI again soon!

Final Fantasy XI (PC): XI, last on the list, ended up being quite a long adventure, and I quite enjoyed it! Tam helped for the first part of things. We got cards to trade for stoves and costumes and did the Beginner Smilebringer run to get ourselves a Jeuno Christmas tree each, then did some Cassiopeia card trading, traveling around all three major cities.
Tam chunked the deuces, so I finished up, getting my holiday fame to max and getting a Dream Hat +1, then did the Intermediate and Advanced runs to get bunny hats, so by the end of it I had every item of furniture and clothing.
But it didn't end there! Since Eireen was in Jeuno, I ran her through the Batallia course (at level five!) to get her a cute hat with a practical speed buff, then took her back to her hometown in Windy. Got her a Dream Hat and Robe, nabbed a Jeuno tree, and then did a page so she'd have enough to repat from Jeuno again when needed. Productive!
Did read over the recent patch notes... wow! Some nice changes! Some are vague (allied campaign NPCs strength "bolstered"), but there's some neat new job abilities, and you can have 20 instead of just 10 merit points stored. Looking forward to getting back into XI a bit!
Final Fantasy XIV (PC): Rang the bells for all four characters, got crap for Christmas - er, Starlight - gifts, but Tam already had a full Santa outfit for me, so I figured I was good there!
Sonic & Knuckles with Sonic 3 (360): As the last day of Sega's digital sale, Sonic 3 was dropped to $2.50, and S&K to $1.50! So I nabbed them, and played about two seconds into them locked together. I coulda swore I picked "Knuckles" but it started me as Tails. Has it been that long since I played?
