FF XI's illegal now for you guys...

Well not it specifically but there's now a law that makes it unlawful to have a game sold there that doesn't allow you to cancel online service easily in a game, quoting it as deceptive.

I bet Square Enix will have an update to have some sort of option to cancel your account easier.

Either that, or they're just going to ignore the people in Illinois.

I'm actually surprised this isn't on the law in more places considering, you know, AOL.

Easier for Squeenix and Japan, really.

Though it might be a mistake...Illinois is actually rather big on gaming.

YES! Make a strong stance against... people... who... want to be able to easily cancel their subscriptions?

Unless you really enjoy jumping through hoops to stop paying monthly, I'd think most people would be happier with this kind of legislation.

(Well, assuming it can get passed more places so the companies don't just go "lol Illinois" and kick out the whole state.)

Did have some of the best soil south of the moraine going towards Mason City. I can attest to that. 4H was definitely big in central, that's for sure.

Um...what? The? Hell? And they were experienced quite well, right?

I speak, that's lengthy even by low-level standards. Hope it's a bug. (But it isn't, is it?)

They became exhausted after 18 hours of playing a video game? These guys need to get into shape, because all the residents at local city hospital are laughing their heads off, as they often deal with shifts over 30 hours long on their feet.

18-hours is practically the length of time it takes to beat a lot of games today, so it seems crazy to spend it on a single boss... I know I'd get bored a lot faster than that though...

There's already a very hard boss that only a few people have beaten, and now there's one that takes over 18 hours ?

There must be something wrong...

Probably...but then the common nerd thrives on staring at the same picture for hours on end, never moving much more than to mash buttons, eat Hot Pockets and drink Dew...obviously there's going to be a chemical reaction when brain cells start to melt and go down the throat when gravity finally catches up to the brominated vegetable oil in the Dew that combines with the high fiber and...

...well you get the idea.

There's a difference between "Doing stuff for 30-40 hours" and "Sitting almost perfectly still staring at a computer screen for 18 hours", last I checked.
