A weekend is a terrible thing to waste

Screenshot Spectacular: I Can't Remember The Number

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a terrible thing kids. You know how a three day weekend usually gets you all excited because it means three days of uninterrupted adventuring? Yeah, this weekend that turned into three days of not playing so my hands can have some time to heal before work starts again.

So instead of venturing forth it's time to slow down and have a screenshot recap of where I've been wandering off to without any adult supervision.

We had some new members joining the Linkshell recently. Here they are being initiated and taking an oath about punching bunnies, or maybe that's just how I like to remember it.

I spent a lot of time taking pictures of all the fireworks this summer. There's something about it that just makes me feel really settled into the world.

I can't help it guys, I just really like the way some random shots come out. This one is from Port Bastok.

We decided to take the Tarus for a walk and also to kill a Notorious Monster for some Artifact Armor in the Citadel.

Our Linkshell had a night of BCNM runs. Much fun was had by all. Loot...not so much, but it was a lot of fun trying to keep track of eight monsters at once and keep them all pinned down.

*shakes head sadly*
At least I had the sense to not use my standard online handle in-game. It just makes you look like a fool. I've never really understood the desire to mimic the franchise while within the franchise itself. Just seems silly to me.

This is about par for the course when my friends and I go trioing.

Here we are waiting on a new person Lies had recruited to the game. I think we were waiting for the better part of four hours and they didn't show up. Finding new folks to adopt is difficult these days.

This is what happens when people from Windurst try to fish.
*ducks incoming shoes and vegetables*


Low level Linkshell party...Assemble! There was much fun rampaging through Korroloka Tunnel that night. It's always fun to take some friends and head out to non-standard locations. I'd take that over another generic round of Qufim and the Jungles any day.

Carbuncle is awesome. Summoners who know how to actually use him are also awesome. Go go radioactive squirrel crowd control!


Against my better judgement I wandered back to the Windurst side of the world and headed underground, where I found the Three Mage Gate. It's an intoxicating atmosphere.

Bored and restless, a few folks in the linkshell decided it would be a brilliant idea to trio an avatar fight. I think it went well.

Another victim...er, recruit to the Linkshell. We sent this one into the Oubliette.

Once again it's up to the Doctor to clean things up.


After the initiation adventures in the oubliette it was time for some good old fashioned bunny punching.

We went to Tavnazia for some CoP missions, but more importantly: Taru Bongos!

I also managed to lose some gil betting on sheep pit fights.

The closest thing we had to a group photo that night. I really must go back there some time and poke around the scenery.

In unrelated news, I'm now crafting Holy Water for pure profit. One step closer to financial independence.


This frightened me enough that I had to take a picture.

Lies is responsible for this project. We're experimenting with crawler go-karts.

The linkshell went around mugging people until they gave us slave NPCs. Now if I could just figure out how to get them to stick around longer...*schemes*

Wardrobe change courtesy of the Linkshell. This'll do 'til I get my Warlock's Tabard. Still not chucking my Baron's Saio though, that thing is stupid useful.

Of course there was fishing. How could there not be fishing? What there hasn't been lately, is a good haul of Moat Carp however. I'll need to work on that.

Until next time children, remember not to punt the Tarutarus in Jeuno, the guards don't like that much.
