Le olde screenshots while I was questing along at Tetra Catacombs for the Sigmund Quest. I got to kill around 3 Castors and 1 Pollux while hunting for Hard Chalcedony for Brunie Etienne, and I have no clue why I can’t resist taking all of these quests. At least the Demons and Nevares at this place is decently-sized; whenever I go to Tetra Golden Road I’m buried under Crimson Visages and Ashen Visages. >_<;
White text means damage dealt to the monsters, green is how much my scout is healing me, and red is the damage dealt by the monsters attacking me. Note the difference in values. ^_^;
WHY CAN’T I FIND THAT DRATTED SIGMUND FOR AREA 11?!
Best spelling ever. I hope someone gets this fixed during the next system maintenance. The Sabatinni family at level 16 (whoa, a 22-level difference xD - shows you where I spend my time more often~)
So I haven’t come to terms with my Wizard, who kicks ass so hard, having to wear something that rivals Andre Janzur in my gayness meter while I’m leveling on the map. The offending article : his current level’s armor, the redingote. Not only is it of a terrible purple hue, it comes with a blouse that must be a relative of Atobe’s ruffled shirt. To top it all off, the coat has a fur-lined collar. I’d taken to putting him in the Joaquin bear outfit I got from the Adelina’s booty search flash game, until I went to the Market Manager, did some trading, and bought him these new duds.
I got him a Costume for Mutation Wizard, which is an alternate color scheme from the original wizard coat. Pretty cool, huh? ^_^b It’s just something that’s on top of his redingote, but at least he looks good and serious again. I can’t wait to level him up and get the wavy black hair on him. I saw a Wizard in a Ciara Mago costume with that lvl 84 hair and he was very easy on the eyes!
Why yes, I have plans to level up if only to have my characters in cooler armors and weapons using l33t stance skills!
I think there’s something that still depresses him though:
I still haven’t gotten him glasses! Blast those eyewear boxes not giving you what you really really want. And doesn’t my Scout look manly in his Oiled body outfit?
In other news, I finally finished Apollo Justice, making Phoenix Wright: Justice for All the only Gyakuten Saiban game I haven’t finished. Sadly, the copy I got of the game is buggy; graphics from the Court Record and the navigation window don’t show properly, and causes the game to hang. While I decide if I’m going to get that game cartridge I saw in SM Megamall, I’ll be playing FFIII on the emulator and reading xxxHolic.
Work has been stressful, as always, but then that’s to be expected when some of the team leads and support group have to make plans for this quarter’s targets. I just barely did not meet last quarter’s target, so I’ll be aiming to meet all the targets this time around. This reminds me of AD-kun’s tarot reading for me at the beginning of the year - she said that the second quarter of this year will be stressful, and she is right. ^.^;
I’m still working on blind_go and getting frantic text messages from my collaboration partner about setting up a chat to discuss plot and spazz over Oofuri and Whistle, which I think will be pretty counter-productive to our goal of finishing the fic before the May 4th deadline. Also working on a decent script for something special, but every time I settle down to write, the heat chases my thoughts away.
Some work in progress that’s been languishing in my art folder for the past few months:
Those would be Shun and Ikki of Saint Seiya, Touya Akira of Hikaru no Go, and an original character that I’m just having fun with coloring!
Anyone who hasn’t seen me around much may have heard that I’ve been swallowed by three things: work, blind_go (the latest round of which is driving me insane, but I’ll talk about that on some later post) and Granado Espada.
Granado Espada is an MMORPG set in a pseudo-16th century world where you, as a player, control three characters as you explore the continent, fighting monsters, fulfilling quests, and establishing a name for yourself. This is the first MMO I’ve gotten into, courtesy of my friend PJ of the Ninemoons family, and I’ve been playing for roughly a month now. I have to admit, this game’s the reason why I did a few upgrades to my computer, Figaro. I upped memory, changed mice, and chances are I’ll get a flatscreen monitor just so I can play it (!). It’s rather easy on the eyes, as you can see, but leveling up for the first twenty or thirty levels is pretty easy. It’s once you get past that then you feel the grind. So far though I’ve discovered why people would get those cash items called combat manuals. They make the leveling up process so much easier. >_> My family leveled from a piddling 32 to a 38 in one day. I’m trying to control the amount of exploring I’m doing everyday now, because I do need to schedule fics, art, and I have to get enough sleep to get to work!
But I can’t resist the lure of the pretty pretty art~?
Before I forget, here’s my wizard. ^_^
