Last night I decided I needed another game for my Wii. I needed a game that I could sit back and play at my liesure and not feel bad because I'm practicing Wii Sports when my girlfriend isn't. So I snagged Zelda: The Twilight Princess at lunch when I was hoping to get Mario Kart or Wii Fit.
I have been getting the hang of Zelda quite quickly and have been able to accomplish everything pretty quickly. There is one part still very close to the beginning that I am having problems with though... FISHING! I spent a solid hour trying to get this stupid cat back to the one shop owner but I haven't been able to catch a fish yet. There are tons of fish but I don't know how to actually catch one. I've followed like 3 different directions and none of them have worked. I just found another suggestion online a few minutes ago that I will have to try tonight when I get home because I want to get on with the game and get a sword and shield and start DOING stuff in the game. Right now I'm still locked in this little town and I have done litterally everything I can so far and now am just stuck trying to get this dang fishing down.
Tonight will be some Zelda, then volleyball, then my girlfriend has already made plans of coming over. I like how I don't really make any decisions as to when she comes over, she more of just says "I'm coming over" and if I say no, she gets mad and I'm in the shit house. Oh well, at least I will have time to play Zelda before volleyball :D

One of the very first tasks in Twilight Priness has me to the point I want to stick this disk in the microwave and get my $50 worth in watching sparks fly. In order to get the cat to the shop I know you have to catch a couple fish, BUT I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR MORE THAN 2 GAMING HOURS BOBBING MY REMOTE UP AND DOWN AND NOTHING!!!! I'M F***ING PISSED!!! Is there a trick to this or what because this is getting to be really tiring.
- this is the post where I found my newest try for fishing
(here is what was posted as the "best answer")
I reccomend wildly moving the two controllers around when the bobber goes underwater, which you really don't have to do much to make happen

I like to sit in my room and play with my Wii
So this is another reason why I need to get back to FFXI... I just dropped over $400 this weekend on the last remaining Wii at Best Buy. This included an extra controller, an extra nun-chuck, Game Party (darts, skii ball, hoop shoot, etc.), and Mario Party 8. I must admit Wii sports is still my favorite game right now though, but that's only because they were out of Mario Kart and Wii Fit.
Mario Party 8 was still pretty fun, wasn't really what I was expecting but it was better than I expected. Its a kind of Monopoly type game where you go around the board constantly and attempt to get the star on the board before everyone else and it costs 20 coins to get it. You can get coins by stealing them from other people or by landing on certain spots on the board or by winning the mini games between rounds. The game can end really however you want it to because its just a setting before you start the game, I simply ended mine by setting it to 15 rounds which took about an hour. I'm kinda excited about trying another board because there are different special squares and routes in each board and I've seen most of them in the Donkey Kong board.
Hopefully these will be enough for me to keep me content until I can get my hands on Mario Kart and Wii Fit OR am able to log back on to FFXI. It was funny because last night Kaisr IM'd me asking if everyone had quit or something since he hadn't seen anyone online in a while. To which I informed him of our accounts getting hacked and how we are awaiting the roll back process. I also informed him that I am long from quitting because I am currently going after Maat's Cap, to which he responded with :P Ahhh, I wanna start gaming again ... but I need to get some more use out of my Wii first hehe

/taps foot
Been over a week and a half since I got my account locked and still no word about it. Hopefully it won't be too much longer because I am really itching to get back into it. I did however lock Screamin's account on Tuesday I believe so I guess I have to wait for my perma-PL anyways. But I'm sure Hybrid would be more than happy to share a PL with me while we blitz through levels.
Since there's really nothing else to update on I guess I will just leave this with a QotD.

Patience
Patience is a virtue ... that I am beginning to run low on. I am starting to have some FFXI dreams again because I miss the game. It is kind of a breath of fresh air knowing that even if I wanted to I can't play it so I have no remorse for not being able to continue with my goal because I have so little of time.
This weekend I actually had some free time away from the woman which was very refreshing because I got to watch some movies I wanted to watch and I got to play a lot of Bubble Breaker which is a game on my phone. I have also been working on my Sudoku book again which is definitely a change of pace. These are nice things because I've been trying to rest my knee since I have started physical therapy on it and I have been really stressing my knee out over the past week. I hope to start running daily but there is soooooo much I have to do around my house its not even funny.
But alas, the real reason I'm typing in here is because I do miss FFXI. :-( I want my character back so I can start whackin away at mobs again and work my way to Maat's Cap. Now that my LS has basically broken now I guess it gives me no excuse not to do anything except work on my long term goals, like Maat's Cap and getting Bonecraft to at least 80 for a source of steady income. This will be nice to actually do things I want to do in game again :D ... when I get my char back.

QoD
Really I have nothing to update on since my account is still locked due to being rolled back. The big thing is I just wanted to add a quote of the day that I JUST saw.
Quote of the Day:
Perfect timing! My liver just healed from the last [annual party] I went to!
- someone's response to an annual party invite that was just sent out
As for an actual update, Hybridkiller is still tryin to crank out his levels for his low jobs to just keep workin on Maat's Cap. I'm thinking that by the time I actually get back into the swing of the game he will have for the most part caught up to me. I still have some tricks up my sleeve if he does start catching me though to keep me ahead. hehe Other than that I'm just kinda stuck and can't do anything in game. So I guess that's that.

Hacked update
My account is now locked down while they are doing the roll back. Hopefully I have the account back before the end of the month, but as long as I got the ball rolling I'm happy. I should get basically everything back because I hadn't really done much in game lately so even if they roll back like 2 or 3 weeks I will just be missing a few levels on DRG.
As for Screamineagle, I have to do another GM call tonight or at least very soon to work on getting his stuff back. Hopefully it will be about the same thing and just be a waiting game. Guess that means I'm on another official FFXI break until then...

Hurray for hackers
So yeah, Treubond, Screamineagle, Disdain, and Caldera/Hybridkiller all got hacked. Everything worth any gil is gone. For some retarded reason they left 3k on my mule though. It wasn't like they couldn't have sent it because my mule was standing next to the mail NPC. So I have 3k gil for 2 characters, yay. I'm so friggin pissed off and disheartened. I swear to Bob, if I ever found the people that did that I would give them the whooping of their life!!! I'm talking they would need reconstructive surgery just to look human again.
Do these RMT not realize that all they are doing is killing their own market? People like me who have been playing for years and are always tossing around the idea of quitting, they are just giving me a reason to quit. And by god if you think I'm EVER going to buy gil. I freaking hate these GD people... ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111ONEONEONE
I would not be surprised to see a lot of people quitting because of this incident and if SE doesn't do something about it they are just going to keep losing customers. Putting something on the FFXI website is not being proactive about it. How many users can actually say they check the POL website on a regular basis? I only check it when I hear there is a new update coming out so I look for the info on it. And that is me ONLY looking for update information. Excuse me for not regularly checking the POL website because I would rather be PLAYING the game then reading some website that just talks about the game.
This weekend was all ups and downs because it was fun, then I found out I got hacked, then more bs with the gf, and blah blah blah. Can't I get away from drama and BS like this garbage of getting hacked. I played this game as an escape from drama, but noooooo it still had to go and find me. So here's my FUCK YOU RMT because I still ain't buyin!
Now I get to ATTEMPT to call POL because I'm sure their lines are busy with other people that got hacked too and hoping to get all of their stuff back ... fun fun fun.
