Mai Guest App & FFXI Offline fun!

It’s been awhile, so lets keep everyone posted on Mai latest offline FFXI adventure! Before we start, randomness WoW Sculpture lol.

Application to Limit Break Radio Podcast Guest?!

Haha I know, I was going to surprise everyone but seems like errr.. it didn’t go as well as I planned.

I applied to be a LBR guest speaker. (It all started with Tuufless). I mean sure, I listen to it at work (and I like all the ??? faces when they hear these geek talk from my coworkers). But never thought I’d do it, since I am quite shy to… strangers/alien. Let alone being recorded.

But see, part of the app is to

• Answer some question here. I ended up creating this LONG PDF!
• Leave a Voicemail for “Mic Testing” purpose >.>.

It took me almost 2 months to grow some balls and record a … “imo quite shitty” voicemail LOL. Recording a FFXI one is definitely much more weird than recording a work-related one, which I do everyday. I actually had numerous practice over vent, to correct some of the minor speaking problems like a lot of “um…’s” and a few swearing. Although I wasn’t the person they are looking for, but I did enjoy rehearsing with Calaera, Tsunade/Eleira and Xariana. (and also my LS too LOL).

Anyway, here’s Mai app for LBR, please enjoy =)

Distant Worlds:

I know :( my 2nd home is in Vancouver, but I just couldn’t time it right to stop by and watch it.

Anyway, Distant Worlds is a video game concert featuring various music from Nobuo Uematsu (well, one from each Final Fantasy series). I really wanted to watch it but… man, the timing is messed up.

I went to Play! A Video Game Symphony a few years back, and it was a blast. I bet the one with just pure Final Fantasy music is much more touchy and nice!

However, I am trying to assemble a group to see the one at Chicago – Dec 12 – 2009, Rosemont Theater. Dates kinda odd… just before Christmas. I’m trying to at least get Roranora and Xariana to go XD We’ll see as it gets closer!

You can read more about the concert here.

Project XI:

I’ve actually dick around a little bit with Project XI. See the thing about playing the real thing is, you can never really reverse-engineer and try fun things. In Project XI, nobody cares :D It is definitely nice to really see stuff in bird-eye view, since you have total control of your client. Your BCNM, isn’t really an instance :D but just 4 separated duplicated zone in 1 map. Kinda like Limbus. It isn’t like 4-5 floors, but different “islands”, all on different section of the map. The teleport makes it feel like its layered.

One zone that always cease to amaze me is.. Castle Vazhl. That castle is really a castle, and I do feel a sense of adventure everytime I climb, although I wish everything is True Sneak/Sight, so you’d really have to beat everything up on the way.

No SS though =P for obvious reasons.

Oh, here’s a Project XI dude killing Nidhogg LOL.

Well that sums up my “Offline” fun, browsing what to do that is related to XI, and trying to get involved with less playing :D
