Havent been on in a month (obviously), reason being my pc seems to eat modems. First one I bought for 5.99 off newegg worked like a champ for about a week in ffxi, then refused to dial at all. So I 'borrowed' one from work and with that I got a red-dot lag about every 20 seconds in game consistently, it seems my modem stops and starts repeatedly, though it could be my college's crappy dialup network (but arent all dialup networks crappy). From there Ive just kinda not went online hardly at all. Considering buying another 5.99 modem atm.

Nice new boards btw, thanks for killing the old ones >.>

On the plus side I did finally beat ffXII, cool ending, and the extra stuff seems pretty challenging and interesting.

Well wife was aggro, I spent 1 weekend day from like 7am-noon trying to get my modem functioning right through changing settings, installing drivers, swearing at it, etc. my wife made the comment that i was just angry my game didnt work anymore and that I was always like that when I stopped playing (ffxi), like a withdrawl or something. Being september 1st Im tempted to burn the 14 bucks and try to get the game going again, canceled july 30th b4 when the problems began.

I really miss high speed internet. Ive also pretty much given up on this generation of gaming (xbox360, and well there's never much for pc anyways), i went out and bought a few ps2 games the other day :p great used selection at gamestop for cheap, buy 6 games for the price of one crappy xbox360 game that randomly freezes in my system.

lol. You're wife knows you pretty well. Classic example of displaced anger. Being angry at the modem, but in reality being frustrated that you couldn't play.

Also for the record Denruki plays on 56k and he has a pretty stable connection.

I get displaced anger too. My designing computer threw a MB, and now I have to use my lappy and FFXI computer for design work (For work).
