Today we talk about Final Fantasy users going overboard, BlizzCon sells out, and Mega Man 9 is going to have some tough achievements.

Yeah, they're idiots.

The fact that they're still playing FFXI gives them away.

Seriously.

FFXI started going downhill with Treasures of Aht Urghan and has gotten progressively worse.

Wings of the Goddess was the last straw for me. $30 for two half-finished jobs, a half-assed campaign, and four missions I finished in a night was a giant rip-off.

Pre-Treasures it was a fun game and I loved it but after Treasures came in and turned anyone with the word Mage in their job's title into a Haste whore or negated their need to exist totally I got pissed.

As a White Mage I hated going from being a contributing member to the party to spending hours on end casting Haste on four Warrior/Ninja's and the occasional Regen on our Bard.

I was told that Wings would return FFXI to its former glory but all that rushed out, quarter-assed, broken-as-hell expansion did was make my wallet $30 lighter.

FFXI

SE started relying heavily on bi-tri monthly version updates to fill in the gaps of their expansion packs. But by the time WotG came around, they were relying so much on it that it was basically $5 worth of content when you first purchased it.

White mage is a calling, honestly. I hated the job. I found it incredibly boring. I was a high level red mage, among other jobs, so I know how you feel. Being forced to sit there and do nothing but cast refresh and haste over and over was a pain. And then I was basically paired up with lazy white mage/black mages all the time that forced me to cure, haste, refresh, buff, magic burst, enfeeb, debuff, and still have enough MP left over when we were done so we could start killing again.

Although, honestly, if SE hadn't falsely banned me, I'd probably still be playing. Oh well...At least I got a good five years out of it.

18 hours?

wow i don't think i've ever sat down that long at a computer for one game.

hump day was hilarious, ooo ooo fat guy fall on the floor!

and as for mega man 9... i've defeated robot masters with only the mega buster in the past,(i think once for mega man X) so that one just might be possible

I am a robot master!

I can beat the all robot masters (not the final bosses) in Megaman 1-3 and X 1-4 using only the mega buster. I might make a vid of them one day...

Too bad I'm getting the Wii version, mostly because I don't have a 360 yet.

Me > you

I can do Megaman 1 - 6 with only the mega buster (Not Dr W tho) But yeah i am getting it for PS3 . . i hope it has trophies. . . .

I actually try and play threw the megaman games by killing as little as i can for some reason. .

Me = You

I can beat Dr. Wily in Megaman 7 with just the megabuster! I guess that makes us even :D(Actually what you did would require more megaman games so your probably better...)

Destin

Destin should just order a girlfriend from Russia.

Svetlana would just break

Svetlana would just break his heart.

I wanna

I would actually date destin! and look!

Im not that bad looking infact, i resist putting up the pic i look like a total hottie here because of what Kain Kusanagi calls "Screwapervs" i only ask that destin doesnt say "Oh my god boobs" every time he sees me, and he lived near me, sadly, i suspect he's on the other side of the US than illinois.

Yes, a double dose of the X chromosome DOES equal a double dose of Pwnage! Visit AlisonPrime for a few good laughs!

Me too!

I would have to say Destin is mad sexy and I would date him as well and to continue the fun heres my pic.

What is it, a dating site for Destin?!?

What is it, a dating site for Destin?!?
You know what, I'm adding my pic as well.
I hope you'll fancy me, Destin.:)

*still loling*

Ohhh lordy my life is complete i think.

LooooOOoOOooOoooOl Destin!

Omg...Now that I saw this I can die!

like BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD! :D

like BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD! :D

Remenber ..

WoW has a 8 hour boss.

megaman achievements seem

megaman achievements seem fair, I have done the megabuster and no enemy killing (speed run) thing since megaman 2, but a no dying one seem tough, no for the enemies but for the parts on the game with disappearing platforms and needle floors.

Life is just a dream...

BANZAI!!!

Man I wish that show was still on in the States. They only had it for one summer a few years ago.

That clip is from...

Hey, awesome, that clip is from a TV show called "Banzai"

Man, I loved that show.

Mega Man 9 makes Destin sad

First, the graphic glitch report made him sad that he didn't go to his prom. Now, the achievement thing made him sad that he can't get a date. :(

It's okay Destin, you'll pull through it! :D

Interesting stuff

An 18 hour battle? I thought South Park was kidding when the kids fought that guy in WoW for around that same amount of time. I can't believe MMOs actually have bosses that tough.

And to anyone who gets 200/200 in MegaMan 9, they should automatically get like 10000 MS points for free. Holy shit.

destin

ive noticed that destin has been using the phrase last friday night a lot lately. And hes always saying how hes never able to get girls to like him. Whats the problem destin?

lol, loved how you used a

lol, loved how you used a picture of destin crying instead of him actually doing it

Final Fantasy

I never played FF so jsut before I watch this is Final Fantasy really awesome or just good?



Well...

The originals are amazing and some people say 7 is the best game ever, but 11 is online only so I've never played it.

Well for starters I would

Well for starters I would probably rec... wait a minute, you've never played the most popular RPG series on earth? FF has dominated for over 2 decades! I've liked every FF I have played except maybe VIII. I would recommend VII for starters.

LMAO

Hey Destin, if watching a fat guy fall makes you laugh why don't you go trip Jose, lol. Just kidding guys.

great job as always destin

great job as always destin keep it up

Destin's so lonely. sigh...

Destin's so lonely. sigh...

Destin is pathetech

Ok Destin, we get it. Your love life sucks. So why do you keep on mentioning it!?

Dude

Haha youre such a jerk

GUESS WHAT?

it's called a JOKE

Because...

Because he knows he is like you exept that he's cool...!

(That's another joke I don't know you so you could be cool too)

Not Too Hard

I always try to beat all the bosses with only the megabuster.
~~~~~
My road, my journey

From the bosses...

From the bosses i've tried to beat only with the megabuster i could only beat 3, but than again i didnt try that much trying to beat all of them.

Destin rules

Ahhh I love destin. He reminds me there are bigger losers in the world than me. :P

Nah only kidding.. Seriously dude I feel your pain.

I'm pretty sure Dustin and

I'm pretty sure Dustin and Corey have done things together. ;) I'm joking. There's someone for you Dustin.

Geez

Destin has been a real jerk to himself and Craig these last few Hard News... and it's awesome.

I used to know someone who

I used to know someone who played FFXI to that extent. Wonder if he was one of the ones who took part in that event. :) I can imagine him getting so pissed haha.

Wow...

18 hours!?!?! Holy crap man, I can't believe those guys kept it up for so long, and on top of that, they didn't even finish! It's kind of reminiscent of the South Park WOW episode. I wonder if they went on the same training regiment?

Nicey

Hump Day always makes my day... wait did that sound awkward... XD

destin

i feel your pain buddy, you're not alone

SE

It's a known fact that SE hates its player base.

Go look up the boss "Absolute Virtue" in FFXI sometime to see what I mean.

I've been able to beat the other games in the megaman series with just the megabuster, but the other achievements in that list sound stupid hard.
