lols raeg!
Feb. 23rd, 2009 12:00 pmPeople amaze me. *sigh* Here at work we've given people two weeks to do something that not only takes five minutes, but that shouldn't even have taken that if they'd done what they were supposed to be doing. And now we're still having last-second issues. (headdesk) People!
In other news, FFXII! :D I'm passing through the Salikawood, and of course I had to make a run for the Zodiac Spear. Worst comes to worst, I die horribly and wait to try again later, right? So I made a jump into the Nabudis Deadlands... and I survived! Not easily, I admit, but I managed to make it to the incredibly annoying Crystalbug in the center of it. Of course, I killed the thing (eventually) and saved. Yay! And then I pressed onward, because I am nothing if not stupidly stubborn. And, again, worst thing I could do was die before I got to the Spear.
I made it to the Necrohol. I made it through the Necrohol. I made it to the Cloister of the Highborn. It took me hours after that last save. Hours of hacking through enemies that just keep coming. Of using Raise like it was breathing. Of giving Penelo a distance weapon even though she's my highest-level character because she's also got the best magic and I needed her alive. (I got sick of her dying everytime I turned around, so I leveled her way up. Fran is next.) My Bestiary was getting all sorts of new entries and everyone had gone up at least a level. I'd even picked up some good equipment and gambits. I guess I could have just thrown down and made a break for the next room to save myself some time, but I wanted the EXP, LP and Bestiary. Not to mention the loot.
And then I got the Spear.
AND THEN A 99,999 HP MONSTER CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND KICKED MY ASS HALF-WAY BACK TO THE DEADLANDS.
And then I died. And I'm going to do it all over again tonight!
Good times. :D
ETA: Related to work... beta browsers are the bane of my existence.
ETA2: But they make for excellent stories. XD OMG LOL.
ETA Strikes Back: I misspelled Necrohol. o.o!
