Well to be honest that’s not true, the game is not to fail, my graphics card is …

I got an invite into the Final Fantasy XIV Beta and I was actually pretty excited to give it a go, but after installing the launcher and starting to patch I was hit with an error.

After about 20 minutes or so I went through and trawled the forums to find other people with the same problems, more and more reading lead me to the awful truth. My graphics card was no longer up to speed, a game had been released that I actually cannot play due to the limitations of my hardware!

I understand this was going to happen eventually but the fact I put my graphics card on my application and got an invite and THEN find out it’s not compatible is a bit of an ass. I would understand if Square-enix sold graphics cards but then don’t and the temptation right now to go out and buy a new one is very very much there….

So looking around I certainly have some ideas.. but do I really want to go and spend £100 on a new graphics card when I have other things to play ? I finished Monkey Island 2 and am very close to finishing Transformers so maybe it is time for something else ? I would just prefer not to spend £100 to enable me to play it

Soo it’s really late in the evening and I am in bed. I am no longer in the habit of putting status updates on Facebook so I’m thinking maybe I will utilise this place some more, maybe as some kind of online diary or hell even a blog!! *gasp*

Long day today work as always late shift do finished at 9, managed to get some further reading of the Mouse Guard rpg in and am really looking forward to giving it a try. the burning wheel seems like such an interesting way of playing a game that seems to heavily reward players for getting more into the game and attempting to make it more interesting! But more in that when I’m not typing on my phone from bed.

Recently picked up the new transformers game on the 360 and am really enjoying playing that through on co-op with my brother online. Thoroughly enjoyable and a complete fan service to fans of the original cartoon series.

Have pretty much stopped playing runescape. I’m still gonna goto Runefest but other things are getting in the way of MMOs as I remember the reasons I stopped playing them in the first place.

Disjoined post ahoy, I am now tired enough to go to sleep.

Saw kick-ass tonight and really enjoyed it. I heard it had got some duff reviews but I found it very fun! Certainly kore enjoyable to watch than the human centipede erffff…

Gnight!!
