Final Fantasy XIV and the allocation of points

delmontyb@mac.com — Fri, 07 May 2010 15:42:52 +0100

In Final Fantasy XIV alpha version (Disclaimer: things could change between now and release) it has been revealed that your character has a "physical" level as well as a class rank. Your class rank teaches you new skills and allows you to equip different weapons and armor's etc... But your physical level is where you apply attribute points. These little points (AP) are awarded to the player upon leveling up, and you can spend them on any stats you wish. Each stat you try to level costs a ceRead More...

VanaFest 2010 predictions

delmontyb@mac.com — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:48:15 +0100

With VanaFest fast approaching I thought it would be fun to throw my hat into the ring and make some predictions about what news, and announcements will be forthcoming out of Japan next week. Now, I would like to remind everyone, that this is just wild speculation on my part and by no means am I limiting my creativity, in fact, I think it would be more fun to say the most outrageous ideas just for a good laugh,Read More...

Lent - 2010 - insert catchy tag line here...

delmontyb@mac.com — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:04:20 +0100

What to do, what to do, what to do?
Is that really the question we ask ourselves around lent, or is it more, what not to do? Now given that I believe that one's Lenten promises should be from the heart I feel that I'm going to share mine with the world, the site, and my friends. This is nothing new, because the question always comes up this time of year, "what did you give up?".

Asides from all the increased marketingRead More...

Getting older - and playing games all the way.

delmontyb@mac.com — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:08:04 +0100

Wired.com's gaming blog Game|Life did a piece the other day talking about the 15 most influential games of the decade talking about games from the year 2000 to 2009. You can see the article here. And it got me thinking about just how fast time goes, after all, it was just this week that I was playing the "new Super Mario Brothers Wii" game with my family over the Christmas holiday and remembering the just how great the old games where. But when looking at this article and at the years the gamRead More...

Revisiting - Final Fantasy Tactics

delmontyb@mac.com — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:00:13 +0100

This year for Christmas I decided to buy myself Final Fantasy Tactics off of the PlayStation Network for $10 and play though this game again. While I got pretty far the first time I played the game, I never beat it when it was released on the original PlayStation way back in the day (January 1998). Still, I was very fond of this game and the job system that it used to customize my characters in ways that I could only dream later in Final Fantasy XI.

Today I know more about Ron Paul and I figured I would share what I have found out about him and perhaps you can hear his arguments and come to your owRead More...
