	Yes peeps, its the usual late Thursday edition of HtSq. I
	was working and shit (not voted yet though). I got FFXI working
	last night as you can tell but I actually haven't got a really
	good run at it yet. I'm Sturyko the Hume Black Mage if anyone
	ever joins in. A couple of ironic points about this comic:

	(1) 	The point implied in this comic is that i have been playing
		FFXI so much that I couldn't be arsed doing a proper one. 
		However, it took me more time to do this one, rather
		than the one I had for today.

	(2)	I don't know anyone in the game yet [No friends :( ],
		so the idea of having someone ask me to play is also
		a load of shite.

	I totally suck at it as well. The above picture is of me, having
	had my ass handed to me by a Mouse Bat. =( Seriously. I went up
	to it and died about 3 seconds after. That’s bad even for a n00b.
	I'm a black mage, so really i should be casting spells all over
	the fucking place, but I figured I should try and build up my
	wand skillz a bit while I'm fighting lower level monsters.
	Bzzzzzzzzt! Wrong. The picture is of the first time I died,
	but I actually died about 10 times while online last night.
	Its very different from the RPGs I've played before, and it's also
	very intimidating, because there are shit loads of folk running
	around, watching as you have your balls kicked by a fucking bat.
	I'm trying to make a good n00b impression, and all i did was
	look like a dick, that couldn't play any worse if his keyboard
	was unplugged. Ah well.
	Talking of Vana' diel and its inhabitants; Naku posted a new
	blog recently saying that she won't be doing it as regularly
	because of job problems or some shit. She seems really sad so I
	guess its bad. I was really gutted actually, because her blogs
	are an integral part of my day/ week. She's rad, and it sux that
	"the man" has shut her down (in a manner of speaking). I don't
	know if you guys went on (well i know papa did) but she's cool.
	She even gave everyone a "long sad drive home" mix which really
	gets you there. No not there, higher. No higher still. Yeah there.
	 
	
	Until the next time I update, this is Dave signing off!

	some relaxation time)

	YEs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	
	Ah good ol' Gibs. (Oz- in reference to the fact he's like Oz from Buffy)
	How I love thee.

	Here it is:
	
	l33t master sensi, tell me what i should do!!   my gameboy broke!   my 
	best 
	friend for the last sixteen years is broken and i am at a loss. please 
	sensi, lend me your wisdom.	

	----:DAVE's REPLY:----

	That really sux ass Gib-a-roony. I'm lost for something to say
	really. The lack of emails has deaded my sensi senses. No I'm kidding.
	Just for everyone out there that doesn't have a clue whats going
	on; Gibbons got a Game Boy when they came out in the 80's, just
	like the rest of us. From the day we did, they never left our hands,
	and I mean NEVER! The 3 of us (Me, Alan, and Gibbons) were 
	inseperable, going from Gameboy to school to Gameboy again. It was
	like that for our entire Primary school education, and beyond.
	Friends came and went but the little grey box was forever there
	to offer it's sympathy to a bored and misunderstood child, living
	in a all-too-realistic world. And I'm not joking people. I am never
	without one still. However I have a SP because my grey-boy broke
	for constant playing years ago. I've had 2 since which duffed or
	became old in the eyes of "the man", and have recently bought this SP.
	Gibbons - YOURS BROKE YEARS AGO TOO!! No plastic screen, buttons 
	which require wrist muscles of steel to press and have it register
	that you have pressed it, and a schizy, browny, yellow colour
	 = GET A NEW ONE!
	I am sorrowed by your loss, because I know what its like to lose an
	electronical friend of 16 years, but in the 21st century, one must
	move with the winds of time, purchasing new handhelds which can be
	played by other people who don't masturbate as much as you, with much
	weaker wrists. With the recent lack of naku, I begin to think that
	these signs are those of the new apocolypse drawing near. Soon the
	world will be filled with mouse bats, and the humen race will have to
	learn to fend off these beasts or die trying. I sense the up-coming
	election will also fit with this prediction.
	My advice to you is this:
	Get a new Gameboy. An SP to be exact. It will be there for you, where
	the old GB can no longer be. I also suggest that you get Pokemon so
	that I may kick your ass. DO NOT GET A DS, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!
	Doing so will result in me taking your old schizy-brown-boy, and making
	it more schizy (no know, 'cause I'd shove it up your rectum and all).

	Hope your holidays been a blast Gibs, and will admit that N.S. is a
	great deal quiter without you sitting in your room watching Time Team.
