Well, I decided to play some of Episode II; I'm at Seabed right now. I also decided to go back and kick Dark Falz's butt again, and I finally managed to at lvl 47 (though, it took me a couple of tries, and I had to use monogrinders to add +6 to my Varista). I'm lvling on Very Hard mode right now, and Forest was a total breeze.
Oh yeah, I also found another DB's Saber, Ice Staff: Dagon, and Branch of PakuPaku (and I found all three on the 15th). I think I'll add a widget to keep track of how many I find; at this rate, I'll have lost count by June. Also, expect more screenshots from now on.
Current stats are as follows...
Fade: [lvl 48] [Total EXP=286939] [Next lvl=14656]
Rati: [lvl 200] [Synchro=115%] [IQ=200] [DEF=21] [POW=107] [DEX=44] [MIND=28]
Closing thoughts: I can't believe my Rati is already fully lvl'd. :( Oh well, time to raise another mag I suppose.
Results for Feb. 13-15
Another day, another lvl (results for Feb. 12)
Or two. I'm lvling in Ruins mostly, but it's still taking me a while to make any real progress. On the plus side, I found a Varista. That brings the amount of rares for the month of February up to five (not counting Photon Drops and Addslots). I'll have a bigger update tonight.
Current stats are as follows...
Fade: [lvl 43] [Total EXP=205769] [Next lvl=14384]
Rati: [lvl 192] [Synchro=120%] [IQ=200] [DEF=21] [POW=100] [DEX=43] [MIND=28]
Closing thoughts: Why am I only getting lucky and finding rares when I'm not looking for them?
Minor update
I'm sick and ****ing tired of trying to connect to the Schthack private server. I've jumped through every hoop there is, tried every different setting and DNS, tried every program that is supposed to help, tried different broadband and crossover cables, and I'm done. This isn't worth the headache. Online gameplay can suck it.
A question
If I even have any loyal (extremely bored) readers er...reading my blog right now, rejoice! I've decided to make this blog more interactive. Obviously, there's an unused area below each of my posts where you can posts comments. None of you have ever used this. I'm starting to doubt anyone ever will (hell, does anyone actually read this? I'm guessing the few hits I get every day are either from me or people stumbling across it on the internet, reading two words, and moving on).
Anyway...request me another RPG to start playing when I hit lvl 100 please. I'll be itching to have another project going at the same time by that point. The game that gets the most votes (provided I own it) will win my attention, and soon after be violated by my marathon gaming tendencies.
Results for Feb. 10 (the rest of the day)
I played the crap out of PSO today and only rose 4 lvls. The kind of bugs me. On the plus side, I now know I can make it through all three Ruins levels and both Spaceship levels (though, I still can't beat their bosses on Hard Mode). I'll be hitting PSO even harder tomorrow, so check back for updates. Oh yeah, I also found a DB's Saber and a Mace of Adaman! I've been luckier this month than I have been in the rest of my 8 years of playing this game.
Current stats are as follows...
Fade: [lvl 41] [Total EXP=179473] [Next lvl=12489]
Rati: [lvl 147] [Synchro=116%] [IQ=200] [DEF=21] [POW=86] [DEX=39] [MIND=28]
Closing thoughts: Dark Falz Form 3 is such a douche. That is all.
Results for Feb. 2-10
It's been a little while, but as busy/lazy (in my free time) as I've been, I've managed to play some PSO here and there. Earlier today (or yesterday at the time of this posting, I guess) I progressed through both Caves and Mines on Hard Mode, found a Rappy's Wing, converted it into a Rappy Fan (yet another rare I won't be able to use for a while), and lvl'd up to lvl 37. Oh yeah, I also turned my Mag into a sweet Rati. I'll be spending much more time playing PSO tomorrow.
Current stats are as follows...
Fade: [lvl 37] [Total EXP=131734] [Next lvl=10891]
Rati: [lvl 140] [Synchro=117%] [IQ=200] [DEF=21] [POW=59] [DEX=32] [MIND=28]
Closing thoughts: I might try my luck against Hard Mode Falz at lvl 40.
Results for Feb. 1st (big developments!)
Well, I beat Episode 1 (Normal, and at lvl 25), lvl'd to 30, got my Mag back to a Varaha, and...wait for it...found a Brionac! A Hard Mode Nano Dragon randomly dropped one, and as soon as I saw it, I started shouting "YES!" so loud that even the N64 Kid would roll his eyes. Of course, I won't be able to use it for several lvls, but what matters is that I found it. And then saved my progress, of course. Anyway, I'll be working on reaching Hard Mode Mines (Mines seems to be my favorite place to lvl for some reason) tomorrow, and evolving my Mag into a Rati.
Current stats are as follows...
Fade: [lvl 30][Total EXP=69818][Next lvl=7347]
Varaha: [lvl 93][Synchro=98%][IQ=144][Def=20][POW=27][DEX=24][MIND=22]
Closing thoughts: I always seem to fight (and kill) bosses a lot sooner than expected. I'm not sure why (I guess I'm just impatient).
