Is there any reason for the recording to cut off prematurely? I just got cut off at 18:50 (Towards the end of the dream slacks segment) and this is the third time it's happened...although I think I got to the next email after dream slacks, or the start of it at least, once.


Anyway, replying to:


I would have to say Bearclaw Pinnacle is the most beautiful...




Unfortunately, the absolutely BEAUTIFUL cloud animations are completely lost in static screenshots like the above. When I was taking the bottom screenshot, the clouds were flowing and rippling through the mountaintops below us and it was absolutely breathtaking...

The sunrise was also amazing, I have a policy of never 'touching up' my screenshots, but I admit I've been tempted to help out the sunrise ones a bit. On the spot, the sky was almost prismatic, like being inside a rainbow. You can see a bit of the green and orange hues in the top two shots, but it's nothing like actually being there watching the color change...

Incase anyone has <too weak> <connection speed> I'm just going to link to the rest...

This one is especially for Sooraya! An unfamiliar look at a familiar locale. Yes, those are dragons guarding the entrance to Castle Zhavl. This is what Dynamis-Xarcabard looks like, getting ready to attack the Shadow Lord. Dyna-Xarc really isn't as scary as you'd think it would be...

This is Leujaoam Sanctum, one of the Assault areas in ToAU. This is also a very beautiful area, note the ice flower growing in front of me...and the fact that the ice formations actually glow...

Too bad it's a ToAU area. Hiiissssss..........

I'm being a little bit naughty in this one! Don't worry, I'm not naked or anything...

A much-cherished screenshot of me and one of my favorite undead minions, as well as a whole lot of dead people...naked dead people...with oddly similar names...on the southern edge of Quifm where the fishing is MOST lucrative...before the gobbie patch...

I would take this moment to state that I am wholeheartedly AGAINST the harassment and murder of other people PLAYING FFXI for amusement or recreation. Those who consider it an income source...however...are fair game.

While there are only ten names visible, the total head count represented by this screenshot is twenty-two...

Quifm! In double light weather! Coooolllooooorrrrssss....good luck camping for this effect though, it's mega rare.

Xarcabard again! In double dark weather! Another mega rare weather effect (Actually, I had weather effects turned off at the time, which accounts for the crystal clarity of the shot without 'fog' interfering with distance and perspective...so this is just the 'area filter') that was absolutely amazing to behold. You know how single dark gives everything a purple cast? Apparently double dark gives navy blue...not just in the sky, but over the moon, the snow, my white robes...it was kinda like being underwater. Totally breathtaking.

I have no idea, actually. Maybe try downloading the entire MP3, instead of streaming it? o.o

woohoo finally its out. also tamtu does great narrations, next to morgan freeman. If you guys ever wanted to hear tamtu, you guys should subscribe to metal gear: ghost babel since he does a really good Solid Snake.

Just FYI, it does in fact snow in Northern San d'Oria. At the fountain, near the Moogle NPC for the Starlight card event quest. Every so often, if you have the camera angle set a certain way, you can see it fall. =P

<3 the Christmasy town themes! Still listening right now

I kinda felt like I should write something in, but at the moment, I really don't have that bunch of "community" friends where I am.. Well, until only recently, I guess.

I dunno, this wasn't one of my personal favorite shows, but it did fulfill it's purpose, and that is what counts ^.^

Eh, okay?

...I dunno, I like it. Keeps the spirit of the roleplay to a tee, plus you get to give your season's greetings to friends you have online. Makes for a wonderful gift if you can't send gil. =X

ya I guesss had I pitched in I would of maybe felt differently. No offense Tamtu, I do still love your guys' show, I just kinda felt this one wasn't up to snuff as the others. But ya, I probably shouldn't say much about it because it's probably that I didn't pitch in so didn't really get into it as much as the other shows. Oh well, still, I think it's great for what it was made for, to pass around some holiday cheer to people and their loved ones. And that is what counts ^.^

well i got arwin to participate in the show, and now shes gonna be writing in more for future episodes.
