Tazo FFXI and Teemo in LoL by lurazeda [1]!
Christmas Again
So!!!! Hello everyone! Thanks for taking the time to drop by :) I love Christmas Cards :) as much as I’m a techie and like “digital” stuff, I still like… paper for Christmas :) Again, if you don’t feel like reading my wall of text/update, feel free to TELEPORT right below [2]!
So… a year went by so quickly that it’s time to make Christmas Cards again :) Many stuff has changed etc… but in regards to Mai and Otak, yes we are doing great, better than ever :)! Which I’ll tell you below!!!!
We didn’t do an April Fools.. since we didn’t had any good idea! Didn’t make any progress with FFXI of course… but I will keep this “ancient” blog up :) I love this little blog :) too much sweat and blood on this thing lol!
But oh man.. one year for two post… I’m seriously failing in blogging :< lol!

FF9’s Touchy Moment!
Gaming
So this year’s gaming… I tried Diablo III, that was a huge disappointment! Good thing I did not buy the collector’s edition :) I haven’t really play other things except for PC games. I did play a few other games like.. Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Elder Scroll V Skyrim, I FINISH Twilight Princess 1 week after Skyward Sword is out (oh yea, I do need to finish that LOL.. not even 1st dungeon). I play FF9 this year on my BlackBerry Playbook emulator :), almost finishing FF7! Other than that, all my time spent on playing League of Legends!!!! I’m a pure support player :) like RDM… you know lol! I always think I’ve got all the support thing thought out… all the little detail.. like opportunity cost etc :)
Come join Mai in LoL. When you signup an account with this link, I’ll know :) http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=4e556180c8ecb224550861 [4]
In regards to FF7 and FF9. After playing them back to back, I do think FF9 have a better story :) It’s so sweet especially the ending. But since FF7 is the first “3d” rpg, I think it got a better hype :) I also took the time to take “screenshot” throughout the FF7/FF9 journey :) Feel free to view them in my Final Fantasy VII [5] or Final Fantasy IX [6] gallery!
Common, how do you not say FF9 is better! Well, here’s the spoiler! The FF9 ending. Start form around 16:45 [7] in that video :) Best part is… 28:45 [8]! So touchy :3
FFXIV? Well we’re really waiting to see how 2.0 rolls out. We’re both quite disappointed in many ways that.. it doesn’t seem right to continue/invest time into that game. Monthly fee is not a lot, but it does adds up :) and we want to make sure we’re really getting happiness from playing it. 50 bucks buys a LOT of cool skin in LoL, and I compare that “happiness” with the ones I get from FFXIV. If I don’t get something equivalent, then its hard to devote time into a game that doesn’t bring you any “utility”!

Artwork by Petisu/Aaagh [14]!
You know :) since I’ve done it for SO MANY YEARS!!!! One would have to invent better ways to write 60 cards :) :) without consuming my life :) So I’m sure once you received my cards, you’d understand why I did what I did LOL :) :)!!!!!! Though.. fuk me :( the damn cards was like $180 total [15] lol…
This year’s card.. have 3 versions. Since there is a minimum of 10 cards to print, I can’t really personalize each one like I did before :( However, this year’s design was done by your fellow artist friend :) including!
- aaagh [14]
- arisutan [16]
- kim-mariet [17]
- lurazeda [1]
- wickedz [18]
I’m sure you’d break out laughing once you see how I accelerate my Christmas Card process, do feel free to post pictures of it :) I always love seeing those!
I know some of you peeps still play FFXI! By all means make a comment below so fellow Fenrir/Mai Friends would be able to read and see who’s all playing what :) :) a simple way to stay connected guys :) :)!!!!!
I’d pick someone who I bought artwork from / got gifted artwork for a 30 dollar prize :) not sure who haha. Random pick from Mai FFXI/XIV artwork gallery [19] maybe :D
Mai&Otak’s Finland 2012 Vacation!
RL
Mai and Otak been doing awesome :) you might get a card with our faces on it… depends! :D There you have it :D! We’re still traveling and having fun :) We went to visit a few places but this time, we went to Sweden, Finland and Estonia and I don’t know any FFXI buddies that lives there so I didn’t really get to see any FFXI people this year :( maybe during Christmas when I goto NYC :) We’ll see :)
Otherwise, life is good, work is good! Everything is going great :) :) Though, remember to stay in touch :)
Can always simply twitter me :) http://www.twitter.com/maiev [20] or http://www.twitter.com/karla [21] :) Don’t worry, I try not to be boring and I don’t bite!
Merry Christmas :) Remember to also leave your game that you’re playing and the character name / whatever information needed for me/other FFXi players to add you :)
Btw, all my envelope is just taped :) if you feel cheap and wanna return me a card, simply shove in what you want in there, seal it with water this time instead of tape and cross out your own address, as if it was “wrong/undeliverable address/wrong person/doesn’t exist” and dump it back into the mailbox :) though no guarantee it works! It’d be interesting to try :) :) mail should return to me LOL!!! Plz someone try :D!
Replying also consent that you want another one next year :) my list got too big :< I guess those that can't read and leave messages and leave a comment here didnt care much so no cards!
