Oooo, nice! I'll have to check that out. I'm trying to find a new game to play to get me away from Final Fantasy XI (so... damn... ADDICTING!! 
). My brother just got it and said it was good of what he's played. I was thinking of picking up F.E.A.R. as well. Yay, shiny new games!

Hmm...I should probably try playing some of those newer Final Fantasy games, as the most recent one that I play is Final Fantasy IX, which is for the old playstation system....
Can anyone say that the new ones are more fun than the really old ones?

Well, I can speak for XI. It's probably the most unique out of all the Final Fantasy series, being the only mega multi-player online version of FF. I love being able to create a character, level it and interact with other people online. I personally play the PC version, but the great thing about the game is it doesn't matter what system you play it on, everyone on all 3 systems (XBox 360, PS2, PC) can all play together. You do have to pay a monthly fee (as with pretty much all online games), but it's worth it if that's something you can get into.

Nice Roxy.... you're a younger cuter sister of Kaylee and we can play video games together. I thought girls like you were as real as the Tooth Fairy. And if I find out the Tooth Fairy is real too then I want my damn teeth back. They're worth a lot more than the lousy fifty cents I got for em.
I'm not really into the games as much as I used to be. I've had to ween myself off them a bit. So many years wasted. I took up guitar instead and I find much more pleasure in it. Every year or so a game comes out that eats up about 2 weeks of my life though and this year it looks like there will be 2 of them. First was Dead Rising which will effectively recruit you as a member of the living dead for the weeks you burn playing it, and now Final Fantasy XII.
I've played these games since the first one came out back in like 1986 or 1989 or something like that for the regular nintendo and I've been hooked since. The only ones that I haven't played actually are IX and XII and maybe some smaller ones that might have been made for Game Cube or some handheld systems. Truth be told, if I were to start playing FFXI online, I would officially be a hermit within the week and there would be absolutely no chance of me being any contributing part to society... ever. I know how my personaility is and I will not allow myself to play any online games other then the occasional game of Spades or Texas Hold'em (not for money either).
If IX is the last one that you played, ASORTAFAIRYTALE, you should definately give it another chance. My brother is a big fan of FF games and he hated IX. Personally I thought FF VIII was great, but Final Fantasy X is probably my favorite game ever. It's story is so gripping and it draws you in so much that you actually really care about the characters. The end had me nearly in tears like a little sissy, but then again, that was probably due much more to the fact that I lived in my Grandma's basement with 3 cats because I used to spend all of my time doing stupid shite like playing FFX instead of living real life.
You should play it soon before the graphics are so inferior that they would turn you off to it. (Here's hopeing XII is even better)
Final Fantasy X2 had the best menu and fighting engines of any RPG that I've ever played, but I must admit that I felt a little embarassed walking to the register to pay for it... a 24 year old guy at Best Buy walking to a girl at a register (there were only girls there... believe me, I checked) and buying a game with 3 sexily drawn computer babes wearing very little clothing.... um, yeah. I could just imagine that cute black girl thinking "look at this perverted little white boy," and then telling other people about it when I left. Glad I don't have to do that again for FFXII. X2 was probably more fun and the graphics were better, but its fun was due mostely to it's overall lighthearted theme and some not so subtle references to lesbianism scattered thruought. I seriously felt like I was playing a Final Fantasy / Barbie hybrid and I was convinced that I would never tell a soul that I not only played X2 but that I actually enjoyed it. So now you know my deepest and saddest video game geek-life secrets, I have to kill you both.
Don't worry... I'll give you a little time to give Final Fantasy XII a go before I come for you. "A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned." http://www.myspace.com/6ixstringjack

Ahhh, we DO exist! We really do! Dunno 'bout the whole "Kaylee" thing, but I am a girl gamer, last time I checked anyways. 
I am slowly trying to get myself away from the video games, for you are right, FFXI has pretty much taken over my life. >.< It's very sad. But I don't think I can go cold turkey from gaming entirely. Withdrawl ya know. Oh the pain. I'll have to find something to occupy my time that isn't online gaming. Then maybe I can get back to my real life a bit (*gasp* I have one of those??). My next drug of choice would have to be survial horror so I'll just have to wait for the next Resident Evil or dare I say, another Silent Hill. Hmmm, might even have to try another Final Fantasy. You make a strong case for it.
Guitar eh? Very nice! I actually do other things, shocking though it may seem. I love to draw, that's what I turn to besides the evil conroler. Also I love photography so me and a camera are a dangerous combo.

Drawing... very cool. I used to do it all the time all the way through high school, but then I kinda just stopped for some reason. My mom drew a lot too but she stopped at some point. I never knew she could draw anything until I was about 15 and I was up in the attic and I found a box full of drawings. A perfect likeness of Tom Selleck wearing those aviator sunglasses comes to mind. I was shocked. I should probably pick up a pencil and try my hand at it again.
I loved charcoal, but I liked working with pastels and water colors too. It wasn't until my Senior year in highschool that I won any awards (that's when I figured out that nobody was going to even give me an honorable mention for all of the demons and monsters I was drawing).
The way schools are today they probably would have forced me to undergo psychiatric evaluations and force fed me pills for the stuff that I'd draw. But my art teacher was cool and entered all of my stuff and had it hung on the walls anyhow. When I finally toned it down and listened to my teacher when he said that I was very talented but that all of my work was "trite", one of my works, though it didn't win best in show that year, won one of the categories (I can't remember which as it was watercolor and colored pencil combined) and it was the cover of the school's literary magazine. It's my favorite thing that I've made and the coolest thing is that it all started with an accident and just took off from there. I told my art teacher that and he said that some of the greatest works of art and inventions were created purely by accident. I'm getting a scanner soon, so maybe if I get around to it I'll put it up.
I would love to see some of your stuff sometime.
As for Final Fantasy XII, I'd try it out if I was you. And please, do whatever it takes to stop the Final Fantasy XI. I wasted a third of my childhood at least on video games and I don't even want to know how much I would have if I had online games to play. When you start getting old and wrinkley like I'm starting to get at 27, you're going to wish you had spent your time better.
Trust me, your parents were actually right about that one..... "A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned." http://www.myspace.com/6ixstringjack

Really? You draw? I'd like to see some stuff when you get a scanner. Love looking at people's work, motivates me. I did a lot of the "fantasy" type drawing while I was in school also a lot of comic book type art. Didn't go over well with most people either. I did get quite a few covers of school magazines and some art in the year book. Most of the awards I won were in photography and most of those were honorable mention cause my photos were, well, kinda crazy and a little too much for some people. But, my true love is drawing, pencil drawing. Haven't done much charcoal. I have painted a bit, but mostly on my walls, characters and such. Well, here's one of my drawings. I'll just post one cause I don't want anyone to piss and moan about this not being the thread for this, blah, blah, blah. lol!
OH, and just so this has SOME sort of mention of gaming... I got FFXII and I like it. And I'm also getting Gears of War tomorrow. And that thing about being 27, I'll be 27 in Feb. so wtf am I gonna do?? Is it too late for me?? hehe!

Hey Roxy. Great drawing.... and all the way back in '99. I was never able to draw people too well. Anything that I did that was any good was pretty abstract. As far as people bitching about the thread.. well.. it's my thread so I can hijack it if I want to.
I work nights and when I left for work I saw that my FFXII came in the mail today. It's killing me knowing that that's waiting at home for me and I'm here. I really need to get a life.... or a girlfriend at least. All the good ones my age are married. Or they have kids already. Or they live 3,000 miles away.
LOL... here I am talking to you like you're a kid last post. You look like you're about 17. I thought I was talking to a high schooler or college newbie. Well, you know what I'm talking about then, kind of.... Somehow you've managed to stave off the wrinkles and keep that baby face of yours. I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that you must not smoke, but then again I saw your post with the gun on the pictures thread and you don't seem to me to be the type to be very anti-smoking.
It's never too late to cut down the playing... but you're right about needing something to do in place of it. Like chewing gum if you're trying to quit smoking. I just read in a magazine the other day that at a rehab clinic in
Amsterdam they opened a new wing which is the first of its kind in the world. It's rehab for video game addicts. If all else fails, you can go to Amsterdam to be cured.
And you can score some pretty wicked pot and smoke in the streets....

Yay! I get to post whatever I want. If that's the case then here's a couple more recent ones...
I really like drawing people's face's. Especially the eyes. The eyes are just the most beautiful part of the human body. It's like they make the person. When I used to draw people my mom would guess immediated who I was drawing just by the eyes. I also love hands. Haven't got the hands quite right, but it's something I'm working hard on.
Ok, WHY does everyone think I'm in high school?? It's the video games, isn't it? Damn it! lol! The smoking thing, yeah, don't smoke, but Sarge (my gun) I do like him. He's mainly for target practice. He's a lil big for me anyways, beats the crap out of my shoulder when he fires.
Oooo, ouch. FFXII is sitting at home waiting for you? Ouchie. I'd be hurting too. You do need a girlfriend. A game playing girlfriend so she can call you up and say "Hun, this game is wicked sweet!", give you the low down. Hey, couples need things to share. Besides the obvious. Ok, alonge with is fine.
Oooo, rehab. That sounds like a good idea. It's pretty bad, found myself playing for 3hrs and that's nothing in an online game. Guess it doesn't help that I made a lot of friends in the game. That's it, strap me down and give me the electro-shock. Oh wait, did you say pot? Well, why the hell didn't ya mention that in the 1st place?? lol!
