I had a fascination with Delkfutt's tower ever since I saw it the first time I played Final Fantasy 11. The first time I played, I didn't get to explore the tower very much. A level 75 Dark Knight took me to the 10th floor to look around. He didn't realize there were more floors. This is a long video because I took the time to visit the basement and all 13 floors.
It wasn't until I started playing again in 2018 that I discovered there are actually 13 floors. At level 90+ with trusts, it's a lot easier to explore the upper levels. At level 99 and 119 gear and trusts, I can walk around like I own the tower.
Bwana was being silly while playing Elite Dangerous. The song timed up perfectly with the game's sound effects.

I thought someone should preserve the start screen for the day Final Fantasy 11 goes offline. The song that plays is the song I am used to hearing when I started playing in 2004.

This is the only video game award show I ever saw. It's a shame it only lasted 1 year.
Cybermania was the first televised awards show for video and computer games, aired on Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) on Saturday, 5 November 1994. It was the culmination of a year-long effort by the former Los Angeles-based Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, it Executive Director, Board, and Members.
I made a short video showing all the scythe weapon skills a level 99 Black Mage has in this order:
•Slice
•Dark Harvest
•Nightmare Scythe
•Spinning Scythe
•Vorpal Scythe
Although there's something really awesome about watching a Black Mage slashing enemies with a scythe, I didn't use a scythe most of the time because there's no scythe weapon skill that replenishes mana.

Bill Gates briefly roleplayed the marine in Doom while talking about gaming with Windows 95 and Direct X. His outfit made no sense. He should have been wearing military gear.
I did a quick run in Dynamis - Xarcabard with trusts. Be careful in this area! You can still die at level 99 if you are not careful! One of the reasons I regret quitting Final Fantasy 11 in 2006 is I missed the opportunity to experience an event called Dynamis the way it was meant to be experienced. In order to participate in Dynamis, a player must have a job at least level 65. I quit playing when I had Black Mage at level 64.
Dynamis is basically the Final Fantasy 11 version of a raid. It's where players could get good gear and a relic weapon that can be upgraded 4 times. It took so much effort to completely upgrade a relic weapon that few players did. I'm glad that I was able to use trusts to see what Dynamis is like when I started playing again in 2018, but I know it's not the same as running Dynamis with other players in 2006 when level 75 was the max level. I'm also glad Square did away with the requirement to pay 1 million Gil to get into Dynamis.
The black & purple Black Mage gear that I used for Style Lock while was acquired from various Dynamis runs. I really wanted the sorcerer's set the first time I played Final Fantasy 11. I was so happy to finally get it when I started playing again so many years later.

I recorded my character exploring the Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi. I love the way these types of buildings look. The architecture of the ancients is a perfect blend of something that looks old yet also looks very advanced. I only spent time in the palace to complete missions. The only complaint that I have with some areas is they are difficult to navigate. Square intentionally designed some areas like this palace like a maze so there's only 1 way to navigate from point A to point B despite it looking straightforward on the map. I would have spent more time exploring certain areas because they look neat if they weren't so difficult.
