PlayStation Vita

On October 26, 2015October 26, 2015 By Michel McDonaldIn GamesLeave a comment

I have a Nintendo Game Boy that my partner bought for me in 1994 or 1995, I honestly can’t recall when. I was so bored because we didn’t have much in the way of entertainment, other than the TV with 7 channels of course. He used a Sears credit card to buy the Game Boy and he would buy me games every now and then. It took me months to play one game, and if I knew we couldn’t afford a new game, I would just play the game multiple times. Occasionally we needed the money for food, so we had to sell the games to game stores. We only got a fraction of what the games were worth, but desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s sad too because I still have my Game Boy, but I only have 1 game; Tetris.

In 2007 I bought myself a PlayStation Portable Slim aka PSP -2000. I bought many games, and didn’t have to sell any for the money. I played the heck out of that game system, and now it’s tricky just to turn it on. The power button is glitchy, so it’s difficult to turn it on or off. It still works, but it doesn’t connect to our WiFi because the security is different from when I first bought it, so I can’t buy and download games. If I want to buy a new game, it has to be on the UMD format which I can only buy on Amazon and eBay.

Last Christmas my partner bought me a PlayStation 4. My PSP-2000 talks with a PS3, but not a PS4. If I want to play my PS4 games in the living room, I need a PlayStation Vita. I can also download tons of PS Vita games that I have gotten for free over the last year with my PlayStation Plus account.

I know that I don’t deserve to buy a PlayStation Vita because I haven’t worked for it. I know that I would prefer to play the games I own on my HDTV instead of a smaller screen in my hands, but I feel like there are times when I can’t play games on my PS4 because I’m watching tv in the living room with my partner. He stares at his iPad the entire time, that is if he’s awake, and I sit and stare at either my Nook HD+ or my phone. Sometimes I’d prefer playing Minecraft or whatever game I have instead of staring at Facebook. I have Minecraft PE on my phone, but it’s harder to play on a touchscreen because the screen gets too hot, that’s why I prefer to just stare at Facebook on my phone.

I know I’m coming off as the most spoiled brat in the world, and it’s true, I am. That’s why I haven’t bought the PlayStation Vitayet, because I know I don’t need, nor deserve it. I just want it, and that’s not a reason to spend the money I don’t have to buy it. I could put it on a credit card and pay it off over time, but it’s just not right for me to do that. I have this stupid need before greed thing, and I honestly don’t need it, but I would really love to have it lol.

When my hands heal from the recent order of 200 mini DNA keychains that I recently finished, I will start making different kinds of earrings and keychains to put on Amazon Handmade, that is if they approve me. I recently applied, and they don’t have a category for “Accessories” which is what I classified my craft as. I can’t really call keychains jewelry. My earrings and chokers are considered jewelry, but since they don’t actually have jewels in them, are they really jewelry? The earrings are plastic stems with plastic lanyard. The chokers are hemp with wood beads. Not exactly jewelry. I also make the friendship bracelets, which I really need to make more of. They sent me an email telling me I can change my category to jewelry, so I did. I can’t sell keychains as jewelry, but I can sell earrings, chokers and bracelets.

I’m sure I will need a huge inventory for Amazon Homemade, so when I can start working again, I will make a bunch of things and put them in a drawer to have them ready to ship if anyone orders them. If I make any money, I will keep the money in Amazon so I can buy a PS Vita. I could also start buying Amazon gift cards every month and put them in my account. I’m also playing around with Swag Bucks, so I’ll do surveys and watch videos and install useless apps for SB’s so I can get a Amazon gift card. If I do all those things, then I can say I deserve a PlayStation Vita.

By the way, all these links for PlayStation Vita will earn me money if YOU, the reader click them and buy one for yourself.

Return to EverQuest

On February 21, 2012 By Michel McDonaldIn EverQuest10 Comments

When I heard a couple of weeks ago that Sony Online Entertainment was going to make EverQuest free to play in March I got excited. I was acting as if I was going back home after my five-year absence, as if the game were my long-lost family.

Last night I installed the game from my old discs and ran the game so that it could start downloading updates so when March 11th came, I could just go ahead and login to the game without having to wait for a huge download. It took me about half an hour or longer to install all of the discs. When I finished installing, I clicked the link on the desktop and got a message saying this:

“Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com.”

Naturally I was peeved and immediately went to Facebook to find out what was wrong without going to the EverQuest website first. I couldn’t wait for a response so I decided to go to the website and found that they had a new launchpad. I downloaded and installed it and because it was a tiny file, it didn’t take more than a minute. Unfortunately since my EverQuest account wasn’t active I couldn’t download anything.

I was going through the website last night and I clicked where it said it was going to be free to play in March and saw what you get when you don’t pay and I didn’t like what I saw. You get free access to all of their expansions which was great news since I haven’t bought an expansion pack in more than 5 years. Unfortunately everything else is restricted.

You only get 4 races and 4 classes, you have to purchase the rest. Well, I have many races and classes with 8 characters which is the max you can have so I didn’t think I was going to make another one. That reminds me, I would only be able to play with 2 of my characters. They only give you 2 character slots. So what if I had 8 characters? Would they black them out or delete them? I’m sure they wouldn’t delete them, they would probably just make it so I can’t play with them. Well, Xanapus was at the bottom of the list, would I be stuck having to play with the top two on the list? I wouldn’t like that at all because those two characters are both newbie characters that I never leveled.

You only get 250 alternate abilities, I have over 350 which isn’t a very high amount but would I lose all of those last 100 that I had already earned?

They would take 6 of my bag slots away because they only allow you to use 4. Well, I have 10 bags and I would hate it if they took those items away from, or blacked them out so I couldn’t use them.

They have a platinum limitation of 100p per level. My character is level 74, so does that mean I would be allowed to keep 7400p? Well, I have over 100k in the bank, would I lose all of that? That would suck big time.

The last ones are minor. I wouldn’t be able to send in-game email, only receive it which isn’t a problem since I don’t know anyone anymore. I would be allowed a house but not a guild hall. Does that mean if I were in a guild I wouldn’t be allowed to go into the hall, or I wouldn’t be allowed to create one? Houses? What? They have houses now?

Ok so today I decided that I couldn’t wait until March 11th to play. I certainly wasn’t going to do the free account because I did not play all those years so I could lose it all. I decided I would just go ahead and pay for a subscription of $14.99 next month when I had some more money and go back to the game that I missed so much. After thinking about it I looked at my bank account and discovered that I have more than enough money for us to get by for the rest of the month. I could just go ahead and pay for it and start playing again today.

I went to log into the new launchpad and it started the download. More than 8GB of data had to be downloaded for me to play. I figured that with my cable internet it wouldn’t take too long, but just in case it did I would probably just log in tomorrow. It only took 3 hours to download/install all of the files.

It took longer than I thought to load the game, but I figured it was because it had to load all of the textures and whatnot. When it finally let me in, I was back to the world that I had missed for such a long time. The graphics were as horrible as I remembered them. I started thinking that the Lord of the Rings graphics are so much better, but I don’t care, this is where I want to be. Of course I’m not quitting LOTRO, I will play both.

The guy from Sony Online Entertainment told me on the phone that it is possible that some of my characters names might have a “1” after them since it has been so long since I played. It is possible that someone over the years created a character with a name that I used. If my Xanapus had a 1 after it I was going to be one pissed off gnome, but it didn’t WHEW!

When the game loaded I was in the Plane of Knowledge. Nothing had changed at all. I clicked the Guild button and was shocked that I was still in my guild “Regnat Populus”, I thought for sure they had disbanded. I ran to the guild hall and it was just as I remembered it. I gated to Greater Faydark and ran to the Steamfont Mountains and then to Ak`anon. Steamfont was different, but they had upgraded it before I left so it was the same. Ak`anon on the other hand was the same as it was in 2002 when I first started playing the game. I was a little disappointed that they had upgraded all of the zones, but they left that one, at the same time I shed a tear for old times.

All of my friends were still in the friends list. I clicked the button to find out who was online and one of them was. His name is Mezmar. There was a time when I was forbidden to talk to him because he betrayed my guild, but that is all in the past, water under the bridge. It was a guild that I hadn’t been in for a very long time, I believe it was “Blades of Veeshan.” I sent him a /tell and he didn’t even remember me. I tried to jog his memory but he just couldn’t remember. 😦

I ran around looking at things but I was alone. No friends, no guild members online, nobody to talk to so I just signed off. Tomorrow is a new day so I will get back in the game and start exploring again. I can’t wait to get back in the game and see what is new.

My main reason for wanting to go back to the game was that I wanted to play the game again because I missed it. My secondary reason was because I want to do research. I want to write a fiction novel based on my main character. It won’t be an EverQuest novel or fan fiction though. If I make a novel with the EverQuest trademarked name, zones, characters etc. and then try to sell the book they will sue me. Instead I will have to make up a whole new world of my own.

I don’t know if I will even get to write a book based on him, but wouldn’t it be fun if I did? My research will be a combination of the EverQuest and Lord of the Rings games, but with my own added imagination and storyline which I will obviously make up as I go along. I already have many ideas for a storyline, plot, characters etc., I just need to write them down. I think it will be fun, but we will see if it even happens. I hope it will.

Goodbye Borders

On July 22, 2011 By Michel McDonaldIn BooksLeave a comment

I have some very sad news about Borders. It looks as though they are closing their doors forever. I got an email from them several months ago – Borders Sad Chapter 11 News – which also had a letter in my inbox saying they are closing some stores but not all of them. Well, things didn’t work out too well for them and now they are closing their doors forever. Read the letter that I got from them last night by clicking the smaller image.

This is sad news for readers everywhere who have enjoyed visiting Borders over the last 40 years that they have been open. They are closing their doors because they couldn’t convince any company to help them stay afloat. I guess everyone has given up on them.

It’s sad though that people have basically abandoned their local book store to buy e-books from the comfort of their home. But this is the casualty of electronic evolution. Although not everyone can afford to buy an e-book reader so there are people who still buy books. Borders doesn’t just sell books though, they sell magazines and toys and cd’s and movies etc.

Today is the first day of the sale so if you still have a Borders near you, go there quickly because they close their doors on July 29th. You have exactly 1 week from today. They have a 40% off sale at Borders locations, unfortunately as you can see from the image below that the sale is only in stores and not on their website.

It’s sad that they are closing and I hope that there is a chance that they will still keep a few stores open to keep the Borders name alive. Who knows for sure until the end of this month when we find out their final fate.

I don’t want to give my final goodbye just yet because anything can happen in a week…

Borders Sad Chapter 11 News

On February 16, 2011 By Michel McDonaldIn Books, News1 Comment

I was watching Attack of the Show today and they spoke for 10 seconds about Borders filing for chapter 11 and closing some of their famous book stores but they didn’t go into as much detail as this email that I got today did.

Click the image to see it full sized to read the sad news.

My guess, and this is just an uneducated guess, is that they are doing poorly because of the rise of eBooks via the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook. Borders does sell their own eBook reader called the Kobo as well as many other e-book readers like the Sony and Velocity Micro Cruz (which I have never heard of).

The main reason I bought a Nook was because of its online store ability as well as it’s ability to allow me to upload epub files from other websites which the Kindle would not allow. The Kobo and Sony readers were in my pro and con list but unfortunately didn’t meet my criteria due to the lack of an online store which I’m finding out now that the Kobo has. I don’t think it had it when I was making my decision.

Well as far as I knew they were doing great because we’ve been to the Borders over on Stockdale Hwy here in Bakersfield and they are always busy, then again it could’ve been that day but who knows. I’m almost positive that this is just a temporary economical setback and that they will eventually recover from it and be as strong as they always have been because they are a great store to go in to.

It is sad news to hear because I love to read and I think it’s very important for parents to teach their kids the joy of reading at an early age so they enjoy reading in their child, teen and adult years as much as I love to read today. Maybe knowing that they aren’t doing so great people will make the trip to their local Borders store hoping for a sale which might end up boosting their business causing the opposite of what is happening now.

Don’t let your local Borders store go out of business, go shop there for some books, movies, video games, toys and whatever else they sell. Install the Borders app on your cell phone and start buying e-books from them too. Show them that you want them to stay by giving them some sales and keep those people from being out of a job. Times are tough and the last thing we need is for more people out of work.

Leggo my ebook

On August 21, 2010 By Michel McDonaldIn Books, eBook, Kindle, NookLeave a comment

I feel so stupid for waffling so much on this issue. I want a Kindle real bad because it’s the iPod of the e-book reader world. When I got my mp3 player I bought the Dell DJ but I was stupid, I should’ve gotten an iPod. Now, Dell doesn’t support fixing the Dell DJ. Heck, they don’t support anything with that product anymore. They won’t give you software updates, firmware updates, nothing. Not even tech support. They won’t even help me get a battery that works. I’m on my own with that and I can’t even find a company that will send me one that fits. I bought one in July and it still hasn’t shown up. I did get a refund though.

I got a tweet from Sony when I asked someone on Twitter if I should get Kindle or Nook and Sony said to get Sony Reader. So I thought ok I’ll check out their website. I did look at the Sony Pocket reader and although they have a good e-book reader it’s not as good as the touch BUT I did see some video reviews on that and they say that you can barely read the screen because of the touch feature. Also I can just see the screen getting so marked up from using that stylus pen that I won’t be able to read anyway. You know I’m gonna be drawing on it all the time on the books and on the drawing screen.

The Sony touch is what I really want BUT I wish they had an online store that I can buy books wirelessly through the reader and not have to plug it in every time I want to buy a book. I don’t want to be visiting family and have to use their computer to buy a book and have to install the software on someone elses computer. Ya know?

In their tweet, Sony told me about being able to check out library books and so I downloaded their software to check it out and went to the library link and they said I can only check out library books if I have a library card which I do for the Kern County Library which unfortunately is not in their system. So that feature is 100% useless for me.

The review I watched, the e-book reader was flawless but then when I watched another video, the Sony touch was slow to turn the page. He would swipe the screen and the page didn’t turn at all. He had to swipe again and other times he swiped the screen and it took 10 seconds to turn the page. I am way too impatient to wait 10 seconds for the page to turn.

Also, they said that they do supply a USB for it but that’s it. No A/C adapter for charging. Hello? They said that is a $30 accessory. What? Seriously? Although I did read that it uses the PSP power cable which I do have but I find that ridiculous that they are charging so much money for an e-book reader and they won’t even supply you a freaking a/c adapter.

The Sony touch has some good and bad and the bad outweigh the good for me.

I really want a nook or kindle because of the wi-fi feature and online store. I don’t care about 3G, I really don’t. I just want to be able to connect with a WiFi connection at home or at a friend’s house using their WiFi or if we’re out and about then I can use the public WiFi at a Starbucks or McDonald’s.

The Nook has the lend feature which is totally useless to me as well. I don’t know anyone who has a Nook and I highly doubt that me buying a Nook is going to bring me Nook buddies. Also the little screen on the Nook is too slow for me.

Although, the good thing about the Nook is that if I have an issue with it I can just bring it to a Barnes and Noble and maybe they can help me with it. I do want to go to a Barnes and Noble to play with one to see how fast or slow it is. Not just the color screen but page turns and startup and all. I want to be convinced with a in store demonstration.

If I don’t like it then I will go Kindle. But, there are still 2-3 weeks to waffle er um I mean decide.

Shopping for an eBook Reader

On August 13, 2010 By Michel McDonaldIn Books, eBook, Gadgets, Kindle, Nook, Products I Like, TechLeave a comment

Someone I follow on tweeted this link today. Engadget’s back to school guide: E-readers. Naturally I had to look because I too want to buy an e-book reader. I have wanted one ever since they first came out but never could afford one because they were in the $400 – $600 range (around 2006).

In November 2009 I started blogging for pay (via PayPerPost and Blogsvertise) with the intention of saving money for buying an e-book reader, Kindle or Nook. Preferably a Nook because of the color screen at the bottom but it didn’t really make any difference. They were both around $265 or so back then.

I had a lot of trouble saving the money for one because my monthly income is so low that when I run out of grocery money I ended up taking the blogging money from PayPal to buy food. Since I have a PayPal debit card it makes it so much easier to spend the money.

9 months has gone by since I made the commitment to save the money and I still don’t have an e-book reader. However, the thing that I wanted the most out of an e-book reader was a lower price to justify my purchase.

eBook readers such as the Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook and Sony Reader have all gone dramatically down in price, down to a price that I can finally afford.

Unfortunately, they still don’t fit my needs. What I want is an e-book reader that will accept a lot of formats like .lit, .prc, .pdf, .mobi and .epub. What I want is for an e-book reader that would allow me to read those formats and still be able to use their dictionary. I don’t know if they all let you to use the dictionary with just a .pdf file which is what makes my decision so difficult.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6″ Display, Graphite – Latest Generation:

Pros: The new Amazon Kindle is stylish. I love the graphite color. I like the keypad on the bottom, it’s small enough that I’m ok with it considering I would probably be typing on it occasionally when searching for keywords, making notes and searching for books in the Kindle store. They have games on it, which I don’t really care about, I just want it to read but it is good to know. The price dropped down to $139 and has free 2-day free shipping which is awesome. The battery works for a full month without charging with the wi-fi turned off which is great.

Cons: It does allow me to view my .pdf books but that’s it and I can’t use the dictionary for definitions which is a big negative for me. I mean sure I can’t do that with a paper book but this is electronic and I want that ability. Also, it does not have an SD card for adding more books.

NOOK Wi-Fi, eReader, eBook Reader – Barnes & Noble:

Pros: The B&N Nook is also very stylish with its cool color touchscreen at the bottom which also has a keyboard. The screen goes black while you are reading to keep you from being distracted. It does allow me to add a .pdf, .epub and .pdb file and has a MicroSD slot. The cool thing about the Nook is that you can lend books to your friends and if I had any that had a Nook then we could lend each other books. If you are in the B&N store you can browse through a book for free for 1 hour per day. The price dropped down to $149 and although it’s $10 more than Amazon it is still a good price.

Cons: The Nooks battery is only 10 days unlike the Kindle which is 30 days. The color touchscreen on the bottom is too slow for impatient people like me. Although as I said it allows .pdf, .epub and .pdb files it doesn’t allow the others. All my ebooks are in all the other formats I mentioned above.

Sony Digital Reader Pocket Edition – Dark Blue:

The price of this is different at the Sony site as opposed to the Amazon site. Amazon charges $136.99 with free shipping but according to the Sony site it’s $149.99. I would buy it from Amazon.

Pros: Although it is a little bit stylish in the dark blue color, it isn’t as stylish as the Kindle or Nook. The Sony Pocket Edition does allow multiple formats such as .pdf, .epub, MS Word, BBeB Book (?) and other text file formats. It doesn’t say the others. The ebook store Sony uses is the Reader store which I assume is from Sony, check out books from public libraries and access over one million free public domain titles from Google Books, sharing sites and other online stores and publishers websites.

I don’t know if that means I can access the Rainbow eBooks website or not, I hope it does because that is what I want.

Cons: One of the things I don’t like about this is that it doesn’t have a keyboard for typing and I don’t know how you type anything when looking up a book to buy.

I don’t know if this should go in pro or con, it’s charge only lasts 2 weeks but I mean seriously, I can charge it every 2 weeks.

This is a tough and huge decision, one that I can think about until the first week of September when I will finally have the money saved up to buy one. I’m leaning more toward the Sony reader though but I would like it if people would leave a comment telling me what they think of each of these readers to give me more to think about. Keeping in mind that I buy a lot of books from Rainbow eBooks and ebooks.com.

Amazon Wireless

On August 25, 2009 By Michel McDonaldIn TechLeave a comment

Amazon has added a new service to their website called Amazon Wireless. This is kind of neat because you can choose your wireless company, which by the way they only have 2 so far which are AT&T and Verizon Wireless, then choose a phone then choose whether you want a new individual account or if you are already part of an existing individual account or family account.

Most of the phones are only a penny and so you basically get a free phone but when you click that you already have an existing account the price may go up to about $50-$75 or more depending on the phone. I found that certain phones you still get for just a penny with an already existing plan.

I think that’s great that they will give you a free phone if you are upgrading your cell phone but not your plan because it just makes it easier to get a new phone. I’m sure people don’t want to upgrade because they just can’t afford to so this makes it easier.

I didn’t see any iPhones listed but I did see Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Bold. They also have some other well known companies like Samsung, LG, Motorola and Sony to name a few.

Now here is my question and I hope someone will find this via google blog search so they can answer. I have a pre-paid cell phone with T-Mobile. Of course they don’t offer T-Mobile yet but it says coming soon. But when they do get T-Mobile I wonder if I can buy a new phone for my pre-paid plan with GPS and Mp3 capability. I wonder if it would work. I don’t need internet, I just want to be able to have the GPS and Mp3 along with being able to call people.

I currently have a Nokia 3390 cell phone pre-paid plan with T-Mobile that I’ve had since 2002. The reason I got a pre-paid plan is for 2 reasons. #1 being that a friend of ours in Hollywood was always driving to Malibu to visit her mom (this was 1997-1999, she passed away in 2000) and she couldn’t get reception and she was having nothing but problems but to be fair she knows that she didn’t have reception due to the mountains that she was driving through but she blamed it on the cell phone company anyway. She insisted on getting out of her contract to go with another company and she had to pay big bucks to get out of it which was dumb because she had the same issue with another company lol. So it’s for this very reason that Darrin forbade me, yes, I said forbade, from getting a contract.

Reason number 2 is that I have a little to no credit score since I never really established credit in my late teens. No credit cards means bad credit score which means the cell phone companies will only give me a cell phone with the highest paid plan which makes absolutely no sense to me. They should offer me their cheapest plan so they know they get their money every month. Also, I’m on disability so I can’t really afford a monthly plan fee. All I really can afford is the pre-paid because I only pay for minutes when I need them and I don’t use it that much to warrant buying a lot of minutes.

Darrin has taken over the phone though because he needs a phone at work so when he’s driving if he needs to make a call to AAA for a tow or whatever then he has a phone. Also if he has to call 911 then he has a phone. He usually uses it to call me at the house on his way home. But he’s always asking me to go to map quest and tell him the directions that he writes down and I think it would be much easier if he had a GPS on the phone.

Sorry I rambled on but you have to know the full story of why I’m asking lol. Thanks for your response in advance.

The Next PSP

On June 4, 2009 By Michel McDonaldIn PSPLeave a comment

Sony ready to unveil it’s PSP Go at E3 tomorrow | Dvice

PSP Go Video Game, E3 09: Conference Footage 2

Ok so here we go, they have a new PSP out which is their 4th gen called PSP Go. This PSP is smaller, same widescreen but it flips up so you can use the control buttons below the screen instead of on the sides of it. It then closes so you can watch movies or TV shows or even use it as an mp3 player and not have any buttons pressed while it’s in your bag.

The PSP Go has a 16GB flash memory as well as a Memory Stick Micro slot which is a different name from the one that is currently in the PSP which is Memory Stick Duo so no you can’t use the one that you already use in your current PSP. They took away the UMD slot so all those games that you bought you can’t use anymore. You have to buy all your games via the PlayStation store online.

It also has Bluetooth Support. I don’t know what that means for the PSP though. When I think of Bluetooth I think of a cell phone earpiece. What does Bluetooth mean for a PSP Go?

On the video (which is the 2nd link above) at the E3 the guy talks about how people like to buy the actual physical product. There will be a new media manager for PC so I’m guessing that maybe you plug your PSP 2 or 3 into your computer via the USB and it probably converts the UMD into files that you then upload to your PSP Go. But that is just what I think that means, I don’t know for sure. Who knows, but he did mention something about being able to buy the UMD even though you can’t use it in this thing.

I don’t know about this one. I like my PSP 2000. I didn’t upgrade it to the PSP 3000 when that came out because the only upgrade it had was a mic on the front so you don’t need a headset to call people with Skype and it had a more matte finish on the screen so you don’t get glare from lights or the sun. With a $250 price tag I’m still not convinced that I need to upgrade to the PSP Go.

I kinda prefer having a UMD and being able to put it in the UMD slot when I want to play a game which of course means searching for the game I want but that’s perfectly fine by me. I don’t know if I want to fill my 16GB flash memory with games then have to use a memory stick to add more. Call me old fashioned lol.

EverQuest for PSP

On January 18, 2009 By Michel McDonaldIn Games, PSPLeave a comment

Untold Legends which I got today at Game Stop is very similar to EverQuest. So I finally got the PSP’s answer to EQ. I read that Sony wanted to create a version of EQ for the PSP but they couldn’t or something like that but they made Untold Legends. It is very similar to EQ. There are quests and merchants and you go up to people and talk to them and you got people following you and helping you fight.

Although nothing beats being able to chat with people but there is a multiplayer mode via lan or adhoc. I don’t know how it works with the Lan though. Maybe you gotta be chatting on the phone lol. Who knows. Or maybe you can use the headset with the mic. With Adhoc you are sitting in the same room as the person you are playing with.

But I don’t know anyone with a PSP so it doesn’t matter. I will always have to choose single player lol.

EverQuest

On January 9, 2009 By Michel McDonaldIn GamesLeave a comment

In March 2007 I paid for 2 years of my EverQuest subscription and that 2 years is up in a couple of months. Before they automatically charge me for another 2 years for $200 I would like to prevent getting shot in the foot by myself of course for not canceling in time lol.

I really had a good time in EQ for the 6 years I played it. The last year doesn’t count for my 7 years because I haven’t played it for a year. But the amount of time I did play it was so much more fun than I could even say.

Every time I got online someone would invite me to a group and if they didn’t I would have to just go to a zone where I knew would be populated and start shouting or saying out of character /ooc that I’m available by saying my race, class and level followed by LFG (Looking for group).

I had so much fun playing with friends and strangers would usually become friends unless they were a douche in the game then I’d never see them again. I can’t replace the fun that I’ve had but just hope that I get something similar to it again in my life. Maybe perhaps in real life? Then again I don’t know anyone who wants to kill gnolls or giant skeletons.

I still have until mid March to play it so I’m going to be making some appearances here and there to say hi before I can no longer log into the game.

I heard that Sony will store all of your stuff in their systems for 6 months but after that you either have to pay for 1 month then cancel again and do that every 6 months or you just lose everything. I don’t know, maybe things have changed. We will find out soon enough. I would like to sell my account since I highly doubt I will ever play the game again. But then again I’d only consider it if it’s someone that I know and know for a fact that he knows how to play a high level wizard. I don’t want to sell it to someone who has no clue what he/she is doing. That would be a definite insult. And they must change the name from Xanapus to something else. I don’t want anyone to have that name but me.
