Ask Alex179 anything.

I don't run into Koreans much if at all in WoW.   Chinese are a different story haha.

I guess you have had some nasty run ins with Koreans and/or Chinese haha.   I don't get along well with farmers/RMT either in MMOs.   WoW wasn't as bad as FFXI in that regard.   Much more hostility and racism there.   I have no problems with asian people irl though.

Do you like fluorescent lights?

[Alex179]

Do you like fluorescent lights?

Not any more or less than other types.   They are good in some instances, like good for lasting longer than regular lightbulbs.

Do they hurt your eyes?


How often do you hear them humming or buzzing?

I don't tend to look directly at them and the light they provide doesn't hurt me really.   I have heard them buzzing but the sound doesn't overwhelm me.   I have a flourescent light right over my head right now at work haha.

[Alex179]

Do you hear that buzzing or humming?

Not right now as these lights were recently replaced.   Maybe if I was really trying to listen, but my coworker has country music playing on her radio and sadly that is drowning out any noise the lights might make.   I really hate country music too.

What's your opinion on FFXII?

[Alex179]

Oh boy FFXII.

Well it was to me pretty much an offline FFXI that allowed you to bot (automate) all of your characters, and removed the skill based enmity and skillchain + magic burst aspect of FFXI.    The story was cool in that it wasn't the typical love story SE has had for most of the last few FFs.   Gabranth, Balthier and Baasch were by far the most interesting characters.   The worst part of the game was killing the Bombshell (forgot name of mob) 50+ times to get Yagyu darkblade to drop.   Then the 3 hour fight with Yazmat was a disappointment as well imo.   

It was fun at the start, but after a while my gambits made the game mostly a cakewalk aside from a few emergency situations in some of the hardest fights.   Overall I found the character development to be lacking and I only could tolerate a few of the characters.   The Espers are mostly worthless, even when you get the final one after Ultima which is great but nothing compared to what you can do with the MP yourself.   Quickenings were overpowered at the start of the game as well.

I have no clue actually, maybe by association.   I just know a little kid saying Fuck Yeah is funny as hell, well as long as it isn't my kid (thankfully I have none).
