Final Fantasy XIV
by Kenny on Sep.01, 2010, under Video Games
As it stands right now, I won’t be able to play Final Fantasy XIV until I upgrade my PC. It requires at least a Core Duo 2.6 or higher. I have a P4 3.0E with HT. That should be good enough processor wise. It also requires 1.5GB of RAM. Unfortunately, I’m only running with 1GB. I have another 512MB, but I can’t get it to run with the current 1GB I have now. I know this board can handle it, I just dont’ know why I can’t get it to turn. I’m thinking that either one of the slots is bad, or for some reason, the RAM isn’t compatible with each other. Oh well.
I think I’ll be upgrading one piece at a time over the next three weeks. I already have a 500GB SATA HD lying around doing nothing. I think I’ll be getting a new Motherboard, Processor, and RAM.. That should get me running FFXIV for a pretty low price. Looks like I’m going to be eating Ramen noodles for a month.

Don’t send me Spam, especially through the post office
by Kenny on Jul.22, 2010, under Misc
I recently recieve a letter in the mail, yes snail mail, from the Doman Registry of America. This was odd, as I already have service through another domain registry. I looked at their crap, went online to confirm that joker.com hadn’t suddenly changed their name and decided to swindle me, then wrote their sales department this nice little email. I would have sent them a snail mail in return using their self address stamped envelope, but the cheap bastards decided with all the money they’d be making off of me with their high prices, that they couldn’t be bothered to provide their own stamp.

Hello.
I recently received a letter in the mail from your company regarding registration of my domain name. I found this rather strange, since I didn’t recall seeing anything from Joker.com stating that they were moving from Germany to the US and changing their name. I also didn’t recall them being so expensive. Then I read a little more and realized that you want me to transfer my domain name over to you when I renew, not that Joker changed names and jacked their prices sky high.
While I appreciate the sentiment of you reminding me to renew my domain, it would have been really nice if you would have researched to see what you were up against. I’ve had my domain for six years with joker.com. I’m sure you already noticed this, since you had to do a whois on the domain to get my address and to find out when it expired. If you would have checked Joker’s website, you would notice that they charge $12/year for their domains. Using that current price, I have paid $72 for six years. I planned on renewing for another two years, which would bring my total to $96 for eight years. That is just one dollar more than your so called best value of $95 for five years.
Like I had stated previously, I do appreciate you letting me know that my domain is up for renewal in a few months (Joker should be sending me an email soon about it), but I just cannot justify transferring over to your services. Joker offers the very same service you do, allows registration of many more TLDs than your services allows for, and has MUCH cheaper prices, and I would just feel bad switching to you when I’ve recommended several people to use Joker, because of their ease of use and very affordable prices.
In closing, I would be very happy if you were to remove my name from future mailings, as I will not even consider your service unless you can lower your prices to that of Joker’s. Your prices are simply too high for me to even consider switching to you. Add in the fact that you’re sending unsolicited bulk (at least I’m assuming I’m not the only person you’ve sent this notice to) postal mail, which in my humble opinion is much worse than unsolicited bulk email, since I can’t set a filter to delete it. I have to manually throw it in the trash. I’ll keep you guys in mind, maybe, but you’re on the very bottom of the pile.
Have a nice day!

When did people just go full retard and start typing y instead of typing out you? I mean as much as I hated when people used u instead of you, it at least made sense.
*Edit*
As an added bonus, the fucker wasted my time and told me to goto the wrong spot.
Yay! Level 80!
by Kenny on Jul.10, 2010, under FFXI
No, I’m not playing WoW, I’m still playing FFXI. Just got my first job to level 80, and yes, it was also my first job to 75, Dragoon. I just wanted to post the parse of the battle that got me to that point. What’s funny to point out is that I don’t think the Drk believed me when I said that Drg would be sicker at 80/SAM40 than Drk would be. Especially if it was my Drg vs his Drk. One thing to point out, he was full timing Hasso, I was full timing Seigan/Third Eye. I tried to full time hasso, but it just wasn’t worth it for the 1% bonus in damage it was affording me.
Oh, he seemed to think that he was doing more damage than me because he was taking “what he thought” was more damage. He was just flat out wrong. Not only did I go through two stacks of food (I’m fairly certain he didn’t use food, but don’t quote me), but I took many more Feather Tickles and fucking Abs-TP because of his dumb ass casting it on a full HP bird. There were several times where I lost TP when I was about to WS, only to be hit with Feather Tickle or Pecking Flurry due to the bird having 100% TP. To all of you Drks out there, only cast shit if you’re XPing with people who are /Nin or you know you’re going to get the spell mimicked to you. Stop pissing off people who are better than you.
Here’s the latest Parse! Be sure to check out my other parses here.
I Hate Stupid People
by Kenny on Jun.09, 2010, under Uncategorized
This makes me want to hurt people. If you’re given directions to a place on a road with no sidewalks, do you A) Walk on the grass next to it, B) Walk carefully on the shoulder of the road, or C) Walk down the middle of the road.
I read a report that the Plaintiff in this lawsuit did just that (Option C, that is) and is suing both the driver of the car who hit her and Google Maps. Even if this is not true, how the hell can she sue Google? Google provided directions that she did not have to follow. She chose to follow these directions.
I’ve googled walking directions to work and they didn’t tell me that I my path to work may not be open at all hours. Should I sue google next time I try to walk home and the bike path around the airport is closed, causing me to head to the airport and get a cab? I’m sure calling a cab, and having to smell the funk of whatever person that was in it previously is too much emotional distress for me to handle, so Google will have to pay my psychiatry bills, my cab ride, and whatever else I want to tack onto the lawsuit.
Google provides a service that has no warranty, or a guaruntee of it’s accuracy. Maybe it’s just me, but if I see that I’ve been given directions to walk on a road with no side walks, I walk well enough off of the road to avoid getting hit by cars. If there’s not enough room to do that where I feel safe, do you know what I do? I take a different route.
I googled the path in question. I I did notice that there were no side walks on some of that path, but you know what? I was also able to find an alternate path, that had sidewalks, just by doing a little bit of research. Granted, I was doing it on this PC, but I’m sure it wouldn’t have taken much for her to do it on her Blackberry. Google is not at fault here. The only thing they did wrong was provide her with a map, it should be the plaintiff’s responsibilty to make sure that map is accurate, not Google.
MERIPO!
by Kenny on May.29, 2010, under FFXI
Just got another Merit Party tonight, and it was finally with someone who can keep up with me. Granted, it may not look like it in the parse, but they DCed for a few battles. When they were around, they kept within 3% of me, so great job Rowena! That’s a lot closer than most people get to my Dragoon on birds. Personally, I think Arcain was just wasting Bullets and could have wen’t /Whm and helped out more. His damage was just too low and infrequent to make much of a difference. Queazy was just wasting Rowena and I’s TP.
Merit Party
by Kenny on May.24, 2010, under FFXI
Had another Merit party tonight, two of them to be exact. I didn’t get ther parse on the first one, but I did get the second one. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother parsing. Very few people seem to be able to keep up with me.
Merit Party

Decided to merit again. Here are the results after I was disconnected.
Dear Samurais (FFXI)
by Kenny on Apr.25, 2010, under Video Games
···I know at level 50, the Soboro is an awesome weapon. It has great damage and attacks more than once a round. After level 60, FIND ANOTHER FUCKING WEAPON! Post 60, it is a huge piece of crap an is only useful in certain situations, and half of the situations you’d be better off using a Polearm. You can keep it around for soloing as /Dnc, but keep that shit away from my merit parties.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
