Jon and I have really been bummed over the imminent closure of PSU for the PC. :( We're continuing to look into replacement games.

I did a google search and found this blog page about "where do we go now from PSU?" It gives a few Korean game suggestions that look great, though I'm a little bit wary since there's plenty of Asian-made games that look very pretty but are lacking in substance...

Of the three mentioned, I'm currently favoring Tera Online. Fun selection of races and classes, and the developers are trying to make it so that all race/gender/class combinations are available. One of their selling points is also the "targetless" gameplay, in other words more like PSU where your positioning and aiming have to be done manually.

And I am SO playing female Castanic. I've wanted to play a demon chick for a while now!! But not completely sure on a class yet. (This is something my MMO group has to work out, as ideally, I'd like us to be a well balanced team like we were in PSU.)

I've been working with hostforweb to try and speed up my site. There were some memory errors lately, which I think have been fixed. I'm not sure about whether the speed is better though.

What I really want is a Xen VPS... Unfortunately I don't think hostforweb has those. But I'm also kind of iffy about moving my entire site without testing the server first. I know, I got slicehost for that. But I'm so lazy with it that I think I'll have to cancel and wait until I have more time to think about webstuff. Besides the fact that I'm not really confident moving my site to slicehost, as it feels more appropriate as a testing environment.

Roleplay and writing have been my main time foci lately, beyond worrying about things like reapplying for college (which I may wait till January to do now, as I've been told no one looks at the files anyway until after holidays), and whether I really will get my passport on Nov 25 (it would not surprise me if I'm getting jerked around again, geez). Oh and ordering new wedding bands and planning our little vacation for our 5th annversary (we'll be gone from Dec 17th-21st).

We also made a few purchases lately that have been entertaining and fun.

We finally got our Playstation 3 from Amazon! My father-in-law bought it as a gift for my husband and me. An early birthday present, I guess. ^^ Jon's birthday is November 10, after all. *hugs her husband* I will have to write a thank you for my inlaws. Hmm!

Gah and it's cold right now. I wish I could snuggle him actually. Brrrr. Fall weather. It's actually colder in this apartment than it used to be in our old one, but that's probably 'cause we have so many windows. Going to have to bundle up and wear blankets and stuff when it gets winter-y.

Ah but back to the topic. We bought Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to play with our shiny new PS3. So we may be kinda, like... very much absent for the next couple days. :D At least until Sunday 'cause I have Wardragon then, and also arranged a meeting in DR with a couple of friends in the White Rose.

Edit: Phantasy Star 0 is coming for DS in Japan. o.O I am half miffed because it's more PSO ish than pre-Phantasy Star 1, but... I still want it. :P Eventually!
