I'm so~~ famous~

My picture's in a magazine and all~

We were interviewed as the organisers of the (real life) event we had in May, and I'm very happy about how both the event and this article turned out. It's in Finnish, naturally (I'm not exactly an international celebrity), but I've pointed out the most important parts, which are:

- picture of Lina('s player)

- picture of me, wearing the whm jacket my grandmother made me (which is why I consider it relevant to my FFXI blog)

- screenshot of a little "tutorial game" I made (using Ren'py and free graphics & music from the internet) to be used at the opening ceremony of the event, because games was one of the event's main themes



You can also see we had quite a few people there. No idea how many exactly, but we probably got the 1000 visitors during the weekend that we'd set as the official goal. Just enough to make the place look busy without making it way too crowded. <3

Rerun

This, I believe, is the very first FFXI video I made and published in my blog, nearly four years ago. There were some problems back then, and I ended up replacing the video (that didn't work) with a picture (that worked). I heard the song again today, and since I've had these weird dreams lately etc. etc. I ended up slapping translation texts on the video and reposting it.

There's a story behind the video (of course), but it's not half as melodramatic as the video, so let's not go there. Instead, let me tell you another little story:

Pasifika and Phu met for the first time (ever!) in front of the Windurst Airship Agency. The elvaan looked at the tiny hume, the hume stared at the towering elvaan.... the dialogue between them went a bit like this:

"Well, aren't you a cute one! :o"

"And you're... so tall... o_O"

Please disregard the shaky camerawork, clumsy editing and extreme lag in some of the scenes... and my fascination with zooming & rotating the camera. Hey, at least I've come a long way since... ^^;

Breakfast of Adventurers

Lina invited Pasifika over for breakfast one day, and it was great!

She had various jams and bread, and some tea to wash it all down. Pasifika didn't get any cake, though, because Lina has other plans for it...
