A Fresh Start
Over the last few days, I've been spending more time working on things like OB and other projects, to keep myself busy. Things are still not easy in some respects, but I feel comfortable that the situation will be resolved (regarding my last post). And that in itself has made me feel better about things.
Anyway, onto other subjects now.
In the last few days, I've spent much of my leisure time playing C&C: Generals with Warlock (or trying to, anyway). Unfortunately we had a lot of connection troubles, despite the fact that I've always been able to play online successfully before. I don't know what the problem is, but it seems like there's some incompatibility whenever we try to play. After maybe 40 or 50 attempts, we managed to get about three or four successful games out of it.
That is somewhat annoying, but at least it worked. I think it was worthwile. Playing Generals with someone I actually know (as opposed to random people who I've never spoken to) is really rewarding. It's just so much better than regular online games ever were. The ability to complement each other's tactics and work as a team is fantastic. I really enjoy co-operative play.
It's one reason why I'm so interested in FFXI. To be completely honest, I find much of FFXI uninteresting, in terms of story/characters and so on. A lot of it just seems boring, compared to other Final Fantasy games (at least from what I have read). However, it's the community aspect that seems so interesting to me. The ability to get together and form a party with fellow OBers should be a lot of fun.
Of course, I have to wait months until it's available here. And even then, there could be roadblocks that prevent me ever really playing it...at least in the near future. Oh well. Hopefully it'll work out.
That's about it for me on this update, I guess. Nothing too interesting, as usual. Just some general thoughts. It's nice to at least experience a change of subject, compared to how the last week has been. |
