Welllll. I am not a happy camper right now, folks.
Why? I'll tell you why.

I've been playing Phantasy Star Online for several years now.
I started offline on the GC version I'd say sometime late 2002 or early 2003.
Then I went online on PSOpc on Schthack servers for a while.
Then I joined the open beta for PSOBB in May of 2004.
I paid to have my account copied over to Schthack's servers before the official ones went down on March 31st of 2008.
I still had the same character I made back in 2004 all the way to just a few days ago.
Yes, that means that poor HUnewearl is no longer with me.
Why? I'll tell you why.
Actually, no. No I won't. I'll link you to the story I already told because I can't be bothered to write it again. So here.

The end of that story? I'm not getting my character back.
For no good reason.
It was the server's fault that I lost my character, and I'm being punished for being unlucky.
Only three reported cases of this in the past.
I'm very unlucky to be hit by it, right?

This is great injustice, right?
I'm punished for nothing.
Yet I have to quietly back down and climb back up to where I was.
As said, I am very, very angry.
Of course, I'm not a defeated dog. I will stand back up.
It's irritating as all hell, but I'm not giving up.

Not that I expected anyone to do anything by this point.
I just thought you guys would like to know a little chip off the block of misfortune I've been dealt throughout life.

Anyway.
We're working on a NAS soon. This will clear up my harddrive space problems, and hopefully fix my TV Tuner problems. If the recording quality is terrible, we'll only use it for video. Since I assume it can't take screencaps of higher quality, I'll need my damn TV Tuner working to take my stills.

I think I'll start working on my wishlist.
