Hooked up my gamepad last night. I honestly feel the gamepad is amazing to use when doing gathering and crafting. So much easier than keyboard/mouse. I also tried a setup of the gamepad to generally play the game on my CNJ and ARC. I was incredibly surprised with how well Square Enix implemented gamepad support (not a surprise given the PS3 support). Even though I'm on a PC, gamepad may end up being my main input mode from here on out. I didn't have any problems healing with it (not sure if that will change in 8-man parties or not).

Since I have two monitors, I of course watch shows on Netflix and Hulu while I'm gathering and crafting :P.
