...and Godzoooooooooookie!

(I didn't need to play the video to remember that one)

Godzookie was still nowhere near as annoying as Bat-Mite or Scrappy Doo.

Well, time to find a new MMO to pass the time while we wait. Is there anything out there that's worth playing at the moment?

Re: Temporary FFXI & FFXIV Server Shutdown

I wish there was a local lan multiplayer other then something like Neverwinter Nights the wife and I could play in the meantime.

Anyone know of one?

Re: Temporary FFXI & FFXIV Server Shutdown

I’ve been so out of the loop when it comes to new games. Nor do I want to start paying for another. FFXI will be my first and last mmo type game ><.
Between my wife and 2 kids (and a not- so-spectacular job) it’s been hard to keep up with my gaming addiction financially speaking.

So I reverted back to PS2 games for a bit.
Actually having a lot of fun playing Raidata Stories. I remember buying, playing for a few hours then putting it down for some reason.

Don’t remember why I put it down…pretty fun game imo.

Serious Sam (1st and 2nd) HD.

Also, Borderlands and weird games like that.

Alternatively Wii Bowwwwwwling (or that porn game that someone posted about some time ago) if you actually have a (yikes) Wii.

Re: Temporary FFXI &amp; FFXIV Server Shutdown

Eh ... MJ was a decent dancer, and he had a few signature moves that redefined pop dancing, but really, if it weren't for moonwalk and crotchgrab, he wouldn't be anything people talk about in terms of dance. Just run of the mill pop dancer.

And yes, pop dance is its own subgenre of dance.

Re: Temporary FFXI &amp; FFXIV Server Shutdown

Aren’t most dancers just run of the mill ‘genre’ dancers with a few signature moves?
