Collecting is My Bag Baby!

In all MMO's there exists various types and forms of playstyles. The PvPer, the Altaholic, the Raider, the Roleplayer, the Achiever, and my personal favorite the Collector. What the hell is a collector you might ask? Well I am for one! However, as a simple definition anyone who enjoys collecting things as a sub-aspect of the online game they play. I might even goes as far as saying the Collector is the rarest of the MMO subtypes. For them the simple task of collecting their objects is just as satisfying if not more then the usual aspects of playing an MMO. Everyone can have aspects of all these subtypes, but the true extremists/OCD types will go all out.

Time for a new PC!

I finally have the means to build myself a new gaming PC. I am really excited to be able to customize each part and build something that will fit my style of playing and my needs. My boyfriend has successfully built 2 already from scratch so I hope this will be lucky number 3!

The geek specs are following: Core i7 950, Nvidia GTX480, 6GB Ram, and a SSD drive. I also got a new 23" 1920X1080 monitor. Here is a picture of building in progress.

I am having some wine tonight...

So its either gonna be full steam ahead with catching up with my blog posts or...

Catching Up...

So whoever has stumbled across this may notice that all my posts started in September. Actually I started blogging a few years ago in FFXI to sort of commemorate my experiences and create a scrapbook of my adventures. However, I know realize FFXI is only one part of my gaming evolution so I felt I needed a better blog to track all my gaming exploits and antics. In addition to this I wanted to add in more real life information in an attempt to make the "Narcissitc Mithra" more accountable and realistic. I plan on adding several sections for other ventures, such as procrastination and my dissertation progress. But for now I am still playing catch up with my blogs, working on networking and generally organizing myself for ease in the future.
