Yesterday, I made a guest appearance on Limit Break Radio. Well, I was on the recording of the show, but the show isn't available yet. You should see it as soon as Aniero gets done with the editing. Be sure to check it out on the Limit Break Radio website. We covered a wide array of topics dealing with Vana'fest and the March update. Sadly, Kallo was not able to make the show, and I think that is probably because is he is huge pussy. He was scared of me coming on the show and crushing his hopes, his dream and his soul. That's right, I am the Kallo Soul Crusher. In reality, he had some personal issues to deal with so he could not make it. Excuses, excuses, excuses. We even discussed the fact that all he is doing right now is having his life controlled by his girlfriend, forcing him to play WoW during one of WoW's most boring content cycles, and during one of FFXI's most exciting content cycles. Talk about whipped.
Aniero even promised to no bleep out Izman's name because Kallo was not on the show. That's what you get Kallo!

Morning in Vana'diel: Missing In Action
Morning in Vana'diel is your daily dose of FFXI and all things Vana'diel. Give us your thoughts on the interesting topics of the day! It's a jungle out there, and sometimes people go missing. Sometimes they reappear. Sometimes they disappear for a good reason, and sometimes they are Kallo.
Kallo, ah, Kallo. Kallo normally writes a column for us dealing with the FFXI community, their reactions, feelings and mood. But you might have noticed he hasn't posted in a while, and that is because he isn't playing right now. He is dealing with [insert excuse here] because things are [insert feeble reasoning here].
Now I don't normally use the Morning post to call someone out. In fact, I never had done that, but you know I find it a lot more fun than I originally considered it to be. Kallo is a friend and a good writer, and LBR is pretty awesome but seriously, enough with the TV timeout. He can come back now if he wants, but he is afraid! Afraid I tell you!
Ridicule often times brings the rats out of their hidey-holes, and I believe that it may be effective here as well. Hoenstly, I am finding this quite enjoyable also. I get to make fun of Kallo because [insert joke at Kallo's excuse here], and he just has to suck it up.
If you want to really have fun with this, just play this post like a Mad Libs. Insert interesting and fun things into the blanks and see what you come up with! For example "He is dealing with [a broken penis] because things are [too rough for him while he is dealing with the death of his hamster]."

Real Life Happens to Other People: Fourteen is not the end!
In Real Life Happens to Other People, Kallo will be supplying information about all aspects of the FFXI community, including whats going on not just in game, but also reporting on new information from all of the different FFXI communities, from podcasts to forums, from blogs to any other kind of online bitching. Kallo considers the not-so-Final Fantasy.
I’m going to be straight with you people.
I did NOT want to write a post about Final Fantasy XIV for this. However, I think things are starting to become dire. If I were to assign a color code to this situation, I’d have to choose blue. Blue doesn’t seem that dire, I know. Let me explain.
The more I hear about Final Fantasy XIV from people who would better serve society with their mouths sown shut...and fingers sewn together – the more I want to tie a giant elastic band around my throat until my head turns blue and I pop like a grape.
So, let’s make it official; the world of Vana’diel is currently in a code Blue.
Now, you’re asking yourself, “What the hell has him in such a damn uproar about Final Fantasy XIV? I thought he was happy about it.” You’re goddamn right I am! It’s the next epic in a long standing series of epics! Fourteen comes after thirteen. SHOCKER! I know. I haven’t felt this buzzed since twelve came after eleven.
Wait a minute! Something came after eleven?! I know! I just blew your freaking mind didn’t I? Eleven…is not the end. Which brings me to the point of today’s article.
This is not the end. Every brother and his mother are screaming from their knees, “What was it all for? Why did I waste my time? Years and years down the drain!”
Yes, yes, we all feel for you. Here take my sympathy with a side order of pity and go join Jack Thompson at the back of the ‘Shut your damn mouth when you’re talking to me’ line.
You really have no idea how ludicrous it is that people are upset at the prospect of a new Final Fantasy MMO. I’m going to explain why, settle down children.
Let’s take a trip back in the time machine for a moment to a time of Giant Swords, Materia and Knights of the Round Table. I did everything there was to do in Final Fantasy 7. Mastered all Materia for all characters. Maxed out all stats to 255 in the Sunken Gelnika. You name it, I conquered it. Guess who believes me? Better yet, guess who cares? Not a damn person. Everyone did it. Or so they say.
When Final Fantasy VIII came out…do you think I shouted for my long lost hours and repented at the sight of the rapture? Hell no. It’s a new Final Fantasy to play!
But, how does this relate to Final Fantasy XI you may be asking. An offline game is so different from an online one! You’re right. You have less of a reason to bitch about an online game. Because people actually see and know of your achievements.
Is a world-famous architect going to spend 10 years building the longest bridge ever created, then and cry about his lost time and effort when someone builds a bigger and better bridge? No. Because he’s not a damn sissy.
Final Fantasy XIV is real. It’s going to happen. You do no have to play it. Final Fantasy XI will remain. So get over yourself, pick which one you want to play, hell, play both! Just shut the hell up about it!
I’ll meet you back here in eight years when they release Final Fantasy XVII.

Real Life Happens to Other People: Kallo Cares!
In Real Life Happens to Other People, Kallo will be supplying information about all aspects of the FFXI community, including whats going on not just in game, but also reporting on new information from all of the different FFXI communities, from podcasts to forums, from blogs to any other kind of online bitching. Today, Kallo shows just how much he cares!
Kallo Cares.
I really do.
Now, this is actually quite a feat in itself. If anyone reading this knows me, you’ll know why. I don’t have a lot of faith in… well just about anything. However, when I was approached and asked to write a column pertaining to ‘community’ I figured I might give it a shot.
Even though the community is filled with Red Mages who want to melee , White Mages who want to deal damage, Summoners who don’t have enough avatars and Levels 50 Players who are planning on skipping End Game…even with all of this, I thought to myself, “You know Kallo, old boy, I bet knowing what you know and knowing who you know, you can find the good in all of this. You can find the sensibility amongst all the ‘loldrg’, you can find the reason amidst the rubble of ‘roflblu’.”
So, that’s what I plan on doing.
Or at least, that’s what I tell people to help inflate my ego. The real deal is, I have an opinion and I’m going to share it. A lot of people will read it. A lot of people will hate it. The best part about that, is they’ll keep sacrificing their precious little seconds and minutes to read it even though they hate it.
So, whether you hate it or whether you like or if you’re at least even mildly amused but what you read here, just remember – no matter the topic, or how I feel about it, I care.
I really do.
