Anyone pickin' up LR:FFXIII?

Looks like I have to wait a couple weeks until pay day, unfortunately. Way too much I need to pick up this month as is.

On a semi related (but mostly not) note, anyone have a ps4 (or getting one) and planning to try out the beta coming up?

[Erendis]

You can start them now,they are not difficult for your level (lv 47) ^_^

I have tried boarskin map and it didn't give me any tomes Do boarskin maps give myth tomes instead of phylo tomes?

So, just for funsies, I looked up which countries were taking part in the Olympics. Wouldn'tcha know it, Australia has some snowboarders. Now, forgive my ignorance, but all this time I thought Australia was some exotic desert-y island with giant killer bugs and awesome kangaroos, are there any snow capped mountains in Australia? I wonder where they all train? Must make some artificial snow or somethin'.

We have... some locations around the Victoria/New South Wales border. Snow does fall there during winter, but no where near the levels you get in New Zealand. It gets supplemented with snow machines and, due to the higher temperatures, often gets rather slushy and/or icy. With climate change, the snow line is also receeding, so it is less common already to see snow in the town at the base of the run these days.

It's like saying you're going to go skiing in southern Italy. Possible, but no where near as good as other alternatives. A lot of people do it anyway, because there is no where else better on the continent.

((For comparison, Melbourne and Sydney have lattitudes comparable to San Francisco and Los Angeles respectively, which should gove you a better appreciation of our climate.))

Don't forget, Australia did win gold in the speed skating .... Cause everyone fell down and the Aussie in last place dodged it all and crossed the line first XD

Hehe. Some train on sand dunes, as well - they also have a lot of great "dry" training facilities.
