New episode in the morning
Just got through recording another show. I don't have time to edit it before work so I may do it when I get home or after I wake up.

March update is here kinda
So, the March update of 2010 hit today, well yesterday technically but the game was pretty much down all day. I logged in this morning to check out the new content but of course I see a message saying there will be maintainace in an hour, yay! I figure I might aswell get Castle Zhval(s) and Zhval Keep unlocked. I'm on WHM so I just recall to the past and arbiter warp out to Xarcabard. I don't make it but a few steps before I get imp aggro, so I sleep that, teleport to my home nation, then go back out there and try again. I got a little lost but I ended up finding my way with little difficulty. I had to raise a couple of people, a JP SAM (or atleast he was in askar), and "Nobody messes with" Zahan, who had a nice train of mobs following him up the steps to the castle.
I was pretty worried when I entered cuz' you see a bunch of imps in the sky but they seem to just be decoration (I steered will clear of them to be safe). I tried to run the usual way to get to the keep but the bottom floor is flooded with some red substence, taru blood perhaps? So, I run back down the main path where you spawn Dark Spark and at first I'm terrified cuz' it's full of mobs but then I realize that they all have campaign swords over their heads and just run past. I made it up to the keep with about 13 minutes left before the game went down so I figured I'd run up the throne room before I logged. Sadly a bunch of gargoyles were blocking the way so I paused not knowing if I should try another way or just give up. A minute or so later a BLM runs in and opens the door leading to the mobs and they aggro him, confirming to me that I won't be able to get to the throne room without a party. I was all ready to raise him but he sleep the mob and zoned.
Failing that I figured I might have just enough time to check the Trial of Magains quest thing out. So, I went to Jeuno. I checked out the new NPC that sends you off to fight Abyssea monsters, quickly determined that was wasn't messing with that crap, then headed to the moogle in upper jeuno. I was disappointed in SE right away because they gave the illusion that you'd be able to trade whatever you wanted but in actuality you have to get specific weapons from the moogle (or trade your mythic if you have it) and you can only get specific upgrades predetermined by SE. LAME!!! I didn't have time to check out all the possibilities for the weapons I might upgrade cuz' I ended up getting booted before I had to chance.
Sadly by the time maintainence is over I'll have to head off to work so I won't be able to check anymore stuff out today. I'll probably record a show about this update in a few days. Speaking of shows...here are links to the past few.
