Ho Chi Minh City destroyed nearly 1.5 tons of goat penis contaminated with bacteria Wednesday in the latest chapter of Vietnam's food safety saga...

In other news, FFXI had a "big" update today. Big if you like paying $10 for your update or if you enjoy the /bell command. The only thing that tempts me from it is the new mog house items. Arg! I miss decorating my mog house! I'm thinking of playing Animal Crossing to get that desire out of my system.

I know! The first one did for a good year or so and loved every moment of it. :D I never got too into the second one though, alas.

OMG I was doomed from the start with the DS version, because it was portable. Suddenly I found myself watering flowers on my lunch hour.

Ha ha I did the watering flowers at work thing, too. But for some reason it didn't work as well for me on the small screen, but I have no idea why.

Remember, eat four servings of penis a day for good health!

...that sound like a line out of a porn movie!

The update was big though! There was a lot of stuff in there even without MKD, it's just that the Update Notes were very very sub-par for whatever reason. I'd actually say it's a pretty average size update, they just didn't go into the mind-numbing detail they usually do. Except for the bell thing.

Plus, any update that includes mission cutscenes that allow this to happen (http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm132/Veloxe/img_20090720_225710.jpg?t=1248156975) is freaking awesome in my option.

I think SE is trying to highlight A Moogle Kupo d'Etat, since, you know, they want you to buy it and all. But I think most players are more interested in the new zones and the WotG storyline. MKD still feels very much like B team material...

I'm interested in the MKD storyline but I'm keeping my distance from wanting it to be awesome because I fell for that with ACP and that storyline sucked. I don't know what they are trying to do. It's like they just decided to not combine all the announcements they made earlier on into the main update notes. Like, they didn't even really mention the weapon augmenting at all which was weird.

Hurm. I only glanced at the update notes this time around, so I wasn't paying much attention. I guess SE didn't pay much attention either. :P

As for the storyline, I'll go out on a limb and say A Moogle Kupo d'Etat will be an improvement over ACP, if for no other reason than it can't possibly get any worse. Fake Aldo can go die in a fire tomorrow and I wouldn't shed a tear...

I don't know if I have the right to get annoyed anymore, but it does still annoy me that they're selling it instead of just making it a quest line and part of the normal update.

As a business model, it's not completely new. Guild Wars did something similar. Then again, Guild Wars has no subscription fee to begin with, so this may be a case of comparing apples to oranges.

I'm honestly fine with the business model, if they can deliver content on par with—or at least close to—the ToAU/WotG missions. So far that hasn't happened. To be fair they did at least make it optional. That, and little things like everyone can join in the BC battles are the only highlights so far.

Ha! I don't want to know how a Galka ended up head first in the snow bank. Cannon? :P

Avalanche. Which is stupid cause I could have just stood there and shield blocked it, I was on PLD!
