Huge staffing news for you this week, as a bunch of new members hear the call and are added to our fantastic staff team! Elsewhere, there has been a surge of FFXIV news, including fan festivals and same-sex marriages!
:choc: The Rainbow Chocobos
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_silver.gif The biggest news this week is indeed the staff changes. Aulayna, fire_of_avalon, Dr. Unne and Shorty are stepping down from their roles of Editor/Developer, Cid's Knight, Developer and Social Media Manager, respectively. This is really sad news, but in their place are some competent members! Quin and Scotty_ffgamer are now Cid's Knights, Colonel Angus and Lone Wolf Leonhart are our new editors, shion and Dat Matt are social media managers, and Lonely Paper Star will be joining staff in the new position of chat operator, together with Rantz, Shauna and o_O. If you're still confused, be sure to consult the announcement thread!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_pink.gif XIV fan festivals are popping up in three locations during the autumn and winter: Las Vegas, London and Tokyo! These events will be full of giveaways, contests, Q&A sessions and more. Check the thread for more details on these exciting festivals!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_magenta.gif The pink Chocobo is perfect for this next piece of news! Same-sex marriages are now legal in Eorzea! To celebrate the news, a virtual pride parade was hosted on the Gilgamesh server! See videos and more information in our thread!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_red.gif The Art Showcase is now entering it's 82nd installment! Featuring this week is a fantastic portrait of Edea and a beautiful digital rendition of Lightning.
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_orange.gif EoFF Fantasy Football is back up for the new season of Football! That's American Football. Not soccer. But if you enjoy shouting at "that stupid player who didn't make that easy pass" or whatever sports commentators say during NFL matches, then this is the event for you!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_yellow.gif The Marvel B-Franchise 'Guardians of the Galaxy' has quite the EoFF fanbase, and from what they say, it seems pretty good! Discuss the latest superhero flick here!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_gold.gif Forums can be so wordy can't they? The medium is pretty much made for sentences and paragraphs, but sometimes we want pictures dammit! If that's you, then swing by the picture thread of many names and post pictures of yourself, your cat, or you and your cat on the beach. Who am I to judge?
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_lime.gif Purchasing too many games is the plight of many a gamer. Why don't you describe your purchasing addictions with other addicts!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dance...greenlight.gif One such gamer, Ergroilnin, is dealing with his massive game collection in a rather novel way. In the last Winter Steam sale, he bought tons of games, and is now only just getting through them! Help him by voting what games to play next, and we get some nifty reviews of them as well! Everyone wins!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_greendark.gif When is a chicken sandwich, a chicken burger? When is a chicken burger, in fact a chicken sandwich? Such hard-hitting questions can only be answered by our EoFF food experts. Be prepared to be amazed.
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_cyan.gif Barret is a man of many things. He's the leader of AVALANCHE. He is foul mouthed. He has a cool gun arm. He is a devoted and responsible father...or is he? Some people think he isn't! Be a family court prosecutor and defense lawyer and voice your opinion!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_blue.gif It's the immortal debate: who is the coolest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? I've never watched TMNT, so I couldn't know. But you guys certainly do! Vote for your favorite today!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_purple.gif Laguna is an important character in FFVIII's story, but would you want him to feature in his own spin-off? How about a SimCity spin-off having Laguna run Esthar?
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_grey.gif Eyeson Island is still bustling with activity, so don't forget to check in on all your favorite EoFF members!
http://gensokyo.no-ip.info/sig/dancechoco_black.gif And finally, let's not forget the hilarious 'Let's Fail' of Left 4 Dead 2. Dat Matt, Shauna, Psychotic and Baloki attempt to do the best they can. See how they got on, the clue is in the title!
:mogumogu: Things of Importance
:save: Saturday saw the birthday of one of our most esteemed former editors and developers, Aulayna! Go wish her a fantastic birthday if you haven't already, and chuck in a Tangled reference, if you can.
:save: And that's the only birthday, meaning there's space for some new arrivals! Noire is one such recent arrival, so go wish him a happy EoFF experience!
:save: Another new member is botnslave, so go introduce yourself to him!
:moomba: Things Around the Internet
:cookie: Just one for you this week. I remembered this video from Cracked.com and I just had to share it with you. Remember kids, just say no!
:cactuar: Things of Humour
Lady Yuna, until next we meet. Have a great week EoFF!
