  • My Winter Of Discontent

    Winter. Known to Carly as: the worst season. It’s a bit rubbish to be honest, but whenever this time of year rolls around I become a creature of comfort (please read this as lazy and honest), and actively partake in the ancient art of hibernation. Getting cosy and playing games, no one can say that…

  • Looking for Party – The End

    We witnessed the end of the world. We were called to arms and asked to defend the lands until our last. The final week in game saw pretty much everyone obtain those bloody amazing Relic weapons on a temporary basis: you would find it in your bed! At first I refused to buy into it…

  • Looking For Party – International Badassery

    The remaining few weeks of Final Fantasy XIV have been fairly quiet for myself, mainly dabbling in Alchemy and selling things in the market stalls. With November 1st looming, I have had little reason to work towards anything other that trying to get that elusive Mog Axe (and so far no success, but I did…

  • Looking For Party – Give Me The Shiny!

    Some crazy nonsense is going down on Eorzea right now, thanks to a rather disturbing floating monster called Atomos. He has been spotted attacking teleport crystals across the land and anyone who is in the vicinity can expect a hard fight on their hands. Well I said ‘hard’, but thankfully there are usually something in…

  • Looking For Party – A Realm Reborn

    So…you may have seen or heard about the Final Fantasy XIV reboot. The producers at Square Enix came together at Gamescom 2012 to finally show off what they have been working at behind the scenes of the current game. And it is GORGEOUS! I can honestly say I don’t think the end of the world…

  • Looking For Party – A Little Bit Of Everything

    The last few weeks have been extremely busy in Final Fantasy XIV. So much has been going on and all so quickly! To begin with, I finally got all the combat jobs to 50 thus earning my Professionals achievement. The Paragon’s crown looks utterly ridiculous on the female Hyur build but c’est la vie. I…

  • Duel of the Planeswalkers 2013 – Bryan Chu

    Following the triumphant release of Magic The Gathering: Duel of the Planeswalkers 2013 we sat down with Bryan Chu, Sr. Business Manager at Wizards of the Coast, to talk about what’s new in the latest installment of their fantastic card’em up. With the previous releases of Duels of the Planeswalkers selling well was there an…

  • World of Craft…craft

    So I decided to make a new character. I haven’t given up on Paru, quite the opposite really. This secondary avatar was made purely on the basis of crafting. And his sole purpose is for doing the jobs that Paru won’t have to! It is also nice to get away from the combat side of…

  • Looking For Party – Like a Pro

    Sometimes in games, there are moments where you feel truly rewarded for the effort and hard work you have put in; my other half has received just that. He recently achieved all Final Fantasy XIV combat classes to a maximum level of 50, unlocked all the advanced jobs and completed every single related job quest,…

  • Looking For Party – New Spaces, New Faces

    On March 27th Square Enix made a complete overhaul of the game system on Final Fantasy XIV and started to merge gaming servers. This was to bring together the quieter servers and pull them into the heavier populated ones with the purpose of enhancing the gaming experience for the players. So my Lindblum took on…
