you do realize claws can hit over 1000 right That argument doesn't quite fly when you're relying on a total of 8 different rolls of the dice in your favour. You'd have to hit four times, and be at near max hit for each of those attacks. I guess this really calls for some experiments, but there's some serious power behind magic based melee. As said before, you know nothing about how Claws work. Try and explain, fully, how a Dragon Claw special hit is calculated. Aah, damn. I apologise. I've made a mistake. No, I have not used d claws before.

EDIT: Ignore this post. 'twas dumb.

...anyway. Runescape's got some goals for me at the moment, that's why I'm still in. Right now I don't play frequently because I've only had access to a laptop over the last 3 weeks that can only do low/medium settings, which is a bit jarring when I'm used to max settings on my desktop at home. My play habits will probably return once I manage to get the great big heavy box-thing into my residence.

I think waiting for Black Friday is your best bet. I'm just curious about what you can use it for. Right now I'm just imagining the epicness of a case mod that can hold all of it together. I'm thinking the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Anyway, enough fantasising, go for it when the price is right.

That was a bit rude yourself. The guy did ask you to at least repair it in case he died. You had an opportunity to say 'Sure, I'll protect your gravestone, but please don't attack other people's dusties. They might not protect your gravestone in the future'. It's a lot more satisfying to teach a person without punishment, and often it's more effective. All that guy is going to think is that people are backstabbing idiots, and will manipulate you even if it doesn't benefit you. That won't improve his behaviour. I will always bless or repair a gravestone if it's difficult to reach from respawn points, because I know the feeling when someone else blesses your own.

Making people pay for a product is the new tyranny, of course. Does anyone else smell the [cabbage]? They're the babies that think throwing a tantrum is the best way to get what they want. And we're [bleep]ing encouraging them. Well not everyone is encouraging them... They may be throwing a tantrum but it is a pretty effective one isn't it (at the moment at least)? It's getting a lot of attention, but is it really doing anything? Aside from driving Gene Simmons up the wall, of course. Possibly. If it is doing something, there's no real way that we'd know about it immediately. I really don't know what to think about the method that Anon. is using. DDoSing is basically suppressing the free distribution of information, but what if you believe the thing being suppressed is suppressing the free distribution of information? Damn, this is really getting interesting. I also notice that the BBC hasn't said anything about it.

Regarding the comparisons with alcohol/caffeine mixes and other drugs; the body can very easily get rid of most of what you eat or drink that it rejects before it does much more damage by throwing up. When you're dealing with drugs you inhale, inject, or use some creative way to get it in your system, your body doesn't enjoy this fail-safe. They might make you throw up, but in this case it won't contribute to getting it out of your system. You can't ban this kind of thing because everyone knows how (and does) make them at home. I've mentioned in the favourite alcoholic drink thread that I've recently discovered the Jägerbomb (but I'm still a cider/ real ale drinker at heart), but I've never actually gone and drunk more than 3 or so in a single night. If you drink much more than that, you're an idiot and deserve to get everything that's coming to you.

UUGHH! That is all. Kidding, the sound effects are a project in progress, an alpha if you will. I don't think we should be judging them so quickly. Find the situations where they work, and the situations where they don't (In this case with the spirit shields) and TELL JAGEX. These things aren't likely to fix themselves with the vast amount of sounds effects in the game.

I found one once, but I couldn't bind it without losing my weapon, so I can feel your pain.

I can't really comment about the current state of the audio; it probably will work MUCH better once the whole lot is uniform, and I can understand why it has to be done gradually. Jagex deserves praise for taking up the issue, and they shouldn't be discouraged from replacing audio files.

At a personal level, yes. It gives you a feeling that you can achieve something, which is all too rare in the real world. However, it isn't the kind of self-esteem that improves your interaction with real people, it just gives you the drive and confidence to try to achieve something real.

Sure, I'm pretty sure these are all the ones available. If I have missed anything, apologies. Theives' Guild Hanky Points, number of points available to claim. Manage They Kingdom, approval rating and coins in coffers. Circus, which of the Ranged, Magic and Agility sections have been completed. Bork. Skeletal Horror. Phoenix. Tears of Guthix. Thanks very much Will, Jasquith No problem. Oh, I forgot to mention, if you've waited the 7 days minus 1 hour to play Tears of Guthix but haven't gained 100K xp or a Quest Point in that time, it will tell you that and also list how much xp you need to gain to go over that 100K xp line. It's unlikely for that to happen, but you did say comprehensive.

I always thought that Piety was generally the better prayer, but if you're in a group, then one guy should use leeches because everyone else will benefit from the reduced stats of the enemy. If more than one person has leeches, they won't be as effective because you'll soon hit the limit and you'll just waste prayer points. For example, if you're just out for a slayer task, use piety. If you're playing pest control, consider using leeches portal instead if you have them.

Prayer is comparable to construction in terms of speed if you've got the money to buy the materials. It will only take you about a few hours once you've got a system going.

I really don't want to know what goes into making that... o_O http://en.wikipedia...._separated_meat Some of this stuff goes on your dollar menu burgers. Enjoy Congratulations, you've just put me off fast food. And hot dogs as well? Anyway, to those saying that they try to stuff as much fat and stuff as possible in the potatoes, it's very untrue. In fact, when I visited one of their plants when I was taking a course from college that I later dropped out from, I've seen it from the potato to the cooked fry. The only thing the do that changes the potato, after cutting it in fries, they change the potato starch to one that's better for the health, meaning it's less fat, but that also makes the artificial taste in those fries. It was a McCain plant making fries especially for McDonald's somewhere in the states, although the plant is in Canada. [/hide] But completely logically speaking, if you use smaller cuts, then you've got much more surface area per unit volume of potato, or maybe just per potato. You can therefore get more fat, seasoning, and salt on (not in!) less actual potato without it falling off. It's just cheaper and unhealthier. EDIT: Also, I'm still trying to work out the logic of putting something that's partially liquid in a plain cardboard box container. Won't it leak out of the sides or soak into the cardboard? And why is there more 'ice cream' going into that box than it looks like it could ever possibly hold? There's so many things that are wrong with that picture. I agree with you for the fries though. Putting on and not in :P. As for putting that processed meat like that in the box, it will all fit in the box after it rests and that the box is closed after a few hours. And yes, there's going to be blood leaking from those boxes, and I know that, since I've worked in the meat dept of a few grocery stores and even having a plastic bag between the meat and the box doesn't stop the blood from leaking, w/e's in the box if it's unpackaged. Glad we agree about the fries. Won't you get health inspectors all over your proverbial arse if you do that? Surely there's a way to keep it contained. I don't mind blood, after all I like my steaks medium-rare, but it just seems like a stupid way of doing things. It's almost as if they want people to find out and go 'eew' and never eat at McDonalds again. EDIT: Think I'll hide the vast quote pyramid that's developed here.

Being a fully qualified student (I get a card and everything), I've discovered the wonder that is the Jäegerbomb during Fresher's Week. Seriously, those things are addicting. I'm still a cider and real ale drinker at heart though.

You have to remember in this case it's an outdated quest from RuneScape Classic, they had no idea of the success they'd have or the number of players playing now. One amulet for one player I guess was ok back in 2001 but not now in 2010 now it's seen as a way around the Grand Exchange ;) Mmm, you're probably right about that. I wonder what the merchanters are going to saw about this? It serves them right, though.

How weird. I think Jagex really needs to admit that some serious flaw in the GE has caused this. We all know it's merchanters, but does Jagex know or care to admit it? But seriously, damn.

Chile's gained some serious respect around the world. In terms of opportunities and revenue the Chilean government and people will get from this, any government would pay the 5+ million in a heartbeat. It's like the Olympics, but much better value a hundred times over.

There's also the issue of whether certain governments in the world can be trusted with such information. Sure, the majority of governments in the world can probably deal with it responsibly, but most of those are democratic. They can ultimately change depending on the consensus of the population as well as other events, Weimar Republic style. It's in times of civil unrest about authoritarian governments where the world desperately needs places to discuss problems anonymously, otherwise dissenting opinions can and are suppressed. Also, I think some people overplay the role that the Internet's anonymity has in morally questionable or wrong behaviour. If they didn't have the Internet, they'd just find another way which would be far more difficult to track.

I don't eat McDonald's, mainly because it caused me a weight problem as a kid. On the other hand, I imagine that french fries, as opposed to chips you find in a fish and chip shop, don't break down in air because of the much higher concentration of salt to mass volume. Any water that's present in the fries becomes saturated in the salt, and bacteria/fungi can't use it to reproduce. I can't explain the burgers though, I guess it depends on how they were stored? Fries don't hold a lot of appeal to me, they just seem like an attempt to get as much seasoning, fat, and salt on as little potato as possible. It's the inside (unleash your inner potato) that's the best part, which is why we in the UK use larger cuts for fish and chips.

I trump that with skilling. I don't mind holiday events, but Deaths house is starting to get a little boring. I respectfully disagree. I'd rather slay to 200m experience than do another holiday event. Then you're in an extremely small minority. Holiday events are harmless fun, although I'm with Danq in saying that Death's house is getting a little bit repetitive.

Thank you Bored321 for adding the friend's list to the (unofficial) Chrome version. It's a much faster way to access a friend's Adventurer's Log than anything.

Hey, I remember that layout. I'm pretty sure that was the one they used when I joined. Going through about 5 pages to actually get to the game each time was a pain though, I'm glad the 'Play Game' button nowadays does exactly what it says on the tin. *represses nostalgic sigh* *nosebleed*
