Evan and Heather to the Rescue...and Indy Game update

So once again I found myself stuck, dead, and frustrated as I stared blankly at the WoW screen.  I might as well just stare there since everytime I become alive I die 10 seconds later.  Luckily for me, Evan and Heather were playing that night as well.  After much guild talking and me complaining we decided that we should team up and that they would help me on my quests that I kept failing to complete.  Heather, who was a few levels up from me, would help kill a lot of these monsters as I would try and get what I needed from them.  Evan, who had a million more levels than me, would constantly change his form, kill things with just one hit, and taught me things that I never knew.  Still, it was really hard trying to understand what they were saying, particularly about trading, so we decided to skype.  This was a good idea and a lot got accomplished after that.  I think I leveled up twice that evening and they both stopped what they were doing just to help me.  Finally, WoW started to actually become fun and my frustration lessened.  That night we ended up on WoW for 5 hours and didn't get off of Skype until around 4 in the morning.  WoW is starting to become a lot more clear and I learned more that night than I have throughout the gaming portion of the class.  Being able to actually talk and be together on the game was an easy way to communicate and get tasks done.  Heather and Evan were a big help that night and I am glad that they could teach me.
      As for my Indy game, I absolutely hate it.  First of all, I had the hardest time learning how to save on the PS2.  Here I was spending hour after hour on this game and then once I quit, I would have to start all over from the beginning the next time.  I am not blaiming this on the game because this was user error and stupidity.  How could I forget to get a memory card!?  I used PS2 before but I forgot that these were essential to saving.  However, the actually game itself is a pain to play.  First of all, there are too many cut scenes.  Every 3 seconds I would walk 2 feet and then the cut scenes would start and go on for about 5 minutes each.  My patience is running dry at this point and I am pretty bored waiting for this to end.  Then there is the whole story line.  How are there so many final fantasy games when the first one was called FINAL FANTASY?! Obviously, it is not final!  Nonetheless, the story line is confusing and the battling technique just seems terrible.  You just stand there and keep picking an attack and hope that hits gets your opponent to lost points.  Once again, not impressed. Also, I feel like the creators expect you to know so much more than a beginner does.  I am not sure why you have to switch characters, why some use magic, why you might need to use a creature, what are these nodes they teach you about, why you need to stand by sometimes during a fight.  Honestly, I had to use google and find some answers in order for me to complete tasks.  I am definitely having a better experience on WoW then I am on FF
