  • Sooooo FFXI was on a TV show tonight. And I lulzed.

    So, I am a fan of America's Next Top Model ... it's the only reality show I watch religiously. Don't hate. I love the artistry of the shots. And skinny bitches that look like they will break in half if they actually did get into a fight which they never seem to actually do. That's beside the point of this thread though.

    Anyway, I was being lazy about changing the channel after it was over and the next show was the premiere of a new reality show called Shedding for the Wedding. General premise is one of those Biggest Loser type shows except it's couples competing together to win their dream wedding. Shedding For The Wedding | Series on the CW Network | Official Site if you want to see some of the clips. It's nothing spectacular, though, and I probably won't watch it regularly.

    And no fucking shit ... there was a couple that met on FFXI and is competing on this show. In like the first two minutes of the show, there was a clip of the game itself. Their dream wedding is to be somewhat fantasy-ish and actually they want to design it to look like Vana'diel. I was like "OMFG NO WAY" when I saw it. I'm kind of dying to know what server they're on and if they happen to be even remotely known on the likes of BG, Alla, KI, or someplace.

    Of course, some of the other couples were all judgmental. This one catty bitch was like, "Oh my god, I can't believe the stuff some of these people want at their weddings. I would never have that." Like, seriously? Judgmental bitch. Same bitch will probably at some point tell them they're not a real couple because of where they met or something.

    Anyway I just found this to be really funny. I'm sure there is or will be clips of it around at some point. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw an FFXI XP party in one of the clips and heard the girl say that they'd met in the game.

    Here is the couple:


    Unfortunately this clip doesn't say where they actually met but they did on the show. I'm wondering if anyone else happened to catch it. If nothing else ..... Yay FFXI getting some exposure? Lol.

      I like his line though. That he didn't invite them to the wedding. He definitely didn't need to invite them to my TV screen either. Lol

            Probably ripping them to shreds for being overweight. Willing to wager half (if not more) of those internet tough guys are just as big, but less willing to even try to lose their weight. I gotta give these guys props for realizing that they need to lose the weight and going out and doing it. I hope that no matter how far they get in the show, they continue to work on their weight loss goals.

            If it's the other reason I can think of, which is meeting someone in a video game then ... lol. Nerds are just jealous. People meet online nowadays. Maybe there's a bit of dork factor involved there, but hell, how can you even make fun of someone for playing video games at all when you do the same thing?

              Always good to reinforce media's (mostly accurate) belief that serious MMO players are overweight and woefully out of shape. As an aside, they must have an amazingly fruitful relationship playing MMOs for 8 hours a night.

                They met in Vana'diel, and goddamn it, that's where they're going to stay.

                  I can't remember exactly what was said, You can get the general idea though. There were insults about their weight and the "you just want to be famous" card was played. I can't remember if the girl has kids so many drama posts there they all blur into one. But I think the "You'r a bad mother for playing an mmo" card was played.
                  You can probably guess the other comments like Feba's where people would be insulting just for the sake of being funny.
                  The part I thought was cruel was the people in question were members of the forum and could see what people were posting about them.

                    wow........ and hell they don't even look that over weight, I mean I have seen much worse then that.

                    I laugh at the "bad mom because you play MMO" comments though, and yeah they sound jealous.

                      My wife watches all those shows... bridalplasty, Biggest loser, true life and Top Model... so when we were watching one of her DVR'd episodes, I caught a glimpse of the commercial for this show. I heard "Final Fantasy Themed Wedding" and my ears perked, I snatched the remote and wrote down the name of the show to set up a recording to watch later. I have absolutely no intent to watch the entire episode... or any of the ones to follow.

                      I was not aware it was FFXI themed. Now I'm even more excited to go home and pop on the DVR and watch.

                      I remember recording the documentary "My Videogame Addiction"... about MMORPGs and the people whos lives were destroyed or enriched by them. I also remember feeling very aggrivated that the only games they seemed to focus on were WOW and EQ2. They briefly showed things like SecondLife and EQ1... but not a single clip... or even a garnishing of recognition for FFXI... so I can't wait to see what these people did for their wedding!

                      Heres hoping the bride chooses a WHM AF2 Wedding Dress and the Groom shows up as a DRK. *crosses his fingers*

                      That would be the lulz

                          Man that one guy is stupid. The game didn't make them fat. They made poor choices, but the game itself did not do it.
