I say include them, but leave it with a random chance, say 1/3, that the mistake emote will happen. I think it'll be funny. There's a delicious irony there, methinks.

Not a foggiest, but I've spent over three hours there and not even a bronze. Although, i spent half the time picking up and burying big bones that everyone left behind. It got me a prayer level though, so I'm happy.

Well, considering I only came back to RS after 18 months in November, I've only just made 2006 goals. I'm no where near them. But long term goals that I expect to take most of 2007 are to get the ones described below and all quests. I want that cape.

I don't know about anyone else, but taking away your exp would kill me. By that I mean being able to see your current exp and what's needed for the next level, so you can work out what you need. If all you could see is your current level, I'd probably leave.

I don't *make* money. I have no specific way of doing it. But I don't buy stuff either, and I have general goals that I'll aim for. At the moment my main target is to get all the quests i can do done, then get the skills needed to finish off the rest. I also flat refuse to buy raw materials. I find the exp more rewarding, and the whole experience far more enjoyable than if I 'cheated'. Sure, it takes longer, but I play this to have fun, not to boast about my abilities to imaginary friends ;)

Ten pages worth, none of which had anything to do with tip.it and only two to do with RS. The others are all to do with fiction/fanfiction I read and write. I should start using more than one name in places, as I'm the only one who has this it seems.

2, but have 4-5 cut dragonstones that need making. Anyone wanna do a straight swap? I'll even provide the materials!

Thieving. Maybe then I'd able to sense when people are trying to nick my wallet when I'm on Oxford Street and not turn up at the train station wondering where the heck my ticket is!

When I was in A-levels I played a lot, 3 or 4 hours a weekday, but work and friends always took precedence. Uni in Belfast blocked RS (I was in halls), so pretty much anything but RS took precedence. Uni in Reading doesn't block it, but I leave my door open and go talking/annoying people around 20 minutes. I literally play RS as a fancy now. I have long term goals, but nothing that will take over my life, more 'I'm aiming to get this'.

I'm a saver, but my money goes up slowly I spend loads of time collect resources and then upping my skills. I try and make money off the end product, but that's almost always less than if I'd sold the raw materials. A good example is when I finally got around to Hunter. After getting to my stage 1 level 30 target (I wanna get construction to 35 and up the rest of my skills a bit, 18 months absence makes me feel inferior to other high 80s), I had loads of Kebbit Claws left over. So I went and killed a few Green Dragons just for the sake of it, then made green [bleep]ed vamps and alched them. You don't get extra money as far as I know, but the extra exp will be useful, and it gets me a free space in my back. And there you can see how my convoluted logic and strange methods of doing things earn me money, but slowly. And I don't spend until I have way over the money needed. Eg, I'm not buying a whip until I can afford two (if I die and need to restock my armour, etc. Not getting two whips), which at my rate, I probably won't need to bother getting any more money as the whip price will have halved!

Not technically a regret, but leaving for a year when I was in top 40,000. Come back just to see what's going, realise I'm addicted again, and now I'm barely in top 150,000, through a week of solid carpenty/hunter training. Also am missing that I am not nearly as respected for my level as I was 18 months ago :(

Awww. I love how all the little kiddies are complaining about the Christmas present that Jagex gave you out of the goodness of their hearts! Especially that it was too short and doesn't compare to the gifts of old. Oh, so clicking on a christmas cracker to pick it up off the ground was a far better minigame? That's not just rose tinted glasses, that's stabbing your eyes out nostalgia. I say, accept what you are given with thanks, or don't accept it. Log in and collect the reward, distract yourself for a few minutes, mess around with the tree for a while, have a laugh. Or don't, it's your choice. But don't complain about how you hate it, or Jagex will stop doing it and deprive those of us who do enjoy these gifts for what they are. The money Jagex make must be really good, because I doubt the amount of abuse they recieve for trying to do something nice is worth it...

Done a few small ones (8 people max) with friends. Usually involves BBQ, copious amounts of alcohol, and no sleep. In agreement with Scruffy, it is usually more fun when you tear yourself away from the screen and do something else. Last LAN we had we climbed all over our mates roof. And his neighbours.

The PC is not a gaming system. A gaming system is a system designed to do exclusively that: play games. By rights, the PS2/Xbox (and maybe even PSX/PS1) don't count, as they played DVDs/CDs. But that's just getting far too technical. The best system depends on what you're favourite type of games are. A high-end PC for the brand new, blow-you-away First Person Shooters and Real Time Strategies. A low-end PC (or even a DOS machine) for those old classics like Total Annialation and the original GTA. PS2 if you want a bit of everything, even though it's Jack of All Trades (Master of None). The Xbox is similar to a high-end PC, except for the choice of games. If you can afford it, I'd reccommend getting one, though it's less of a priority. Gamecube if you are interesting in pure entertainment and fun, along with some of the more quirky titles, which if you allow yourself to play them, can suck you in. And of course, copies of the old consoles (or, at the very least, emulators), because how can you know where you're going if you don't know where you came from. PSP, I believe, is hardly worth the bother. Everything that a PS2 has, except it comes with some extremely fragile moving parts and a couple of rubbish ports of old games. The DS is certainly looking up at the moment, despite it's rocky start (how can you not love the idea of hitting some random Japanese person up the bum with a red shell and winning?). The GameBoy and GBA are always essential, especially as you can get a GBA for as little as ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20 now. Of the next generation, in my opinion, the PS3 will be a waste of space. Once again, SONY will intend to please everyone, and will instead please no one. I think a large number of PS2 owners will choose XBOX360 instead of PS2. The 360 certainly has some advantages, although there are many kinks that need to be worked out (such as true backwards compatability, and Mircosoft really need to rethink their Xbox Live strategy, especially as Nintendo Online is free, and a lot safer). I do, however, intend to buy one once they come down in price enough to make in worth my while, which will probably be around 18 months - 2 years away. The Revolution, I am however, very exited about. The potential hidden in the controller took me a good few months to fully realise, indeed I still do not think I have fully grasped the concept. It is hard to imagine that, barely three years ago, I and my friend were fantasising about full body control, where every movement you do in the real world is performed in game. It seems Nintendo are one step closer to realising that. However, I do not intend to buy it at launch, and will probably wait a while, until hopefully there are some games that fully realise the potential my imagination is running around with. And now I'm tied, so I'm not gonna bother talking about the games.

I have a DS, but it's stuck in England with my parents. Give me 3 weeks, and Mario Kart Online will become addictive ;)

That was the qualifying rounds. Next summer is the actual cup proper.

If she had been kissing a boy, then yes they would have, because schools have to tell the parents why the student is being punished, no matter what rule they've broken. If the girls was straight but didn't want her parents to know she had a boyfriend, she probably wouldn't have kissed him on campus. The same rule applies with this. The fact that it was a girl kissing a girl makes no difference.

Hehe, always good when people try to show off and get punched down. Got nothing special in my car, but it has always been my dream as a sound techie to get a double decker bus and fill the entire lower floor with bass. That should peak your interest :lol: Although, if I ever want a decent sound set up, I can always borrow my friends. I don't know the exact specs, but it involves 4 JBLs, 2 other-make-of-speaker-that-i-don't-remember, 4 speakers we use for foldbacks, a 48 channel desk, 3 amps (can't remember wattage or anyother details, aside from the fact that I always seem to be the one to unpack them from his van, and they're damn heavy), several Shure microphones (all the beta versions), and enough cabling to go round the equator. We made a crack in the wall of the biggest hall within an hours drive of where we live. Its walls were tested to around 6000w. We reckon we put in triple that amount. There's currently a rather large painting where the crack is :oops:

As I said, Viral Internet Ads. Remember those 'StreetKa, the Ka's evil twin' ads? Where the car would do evil things like kill birds/cats? Similar concept, except not as evil.

As clarified on page one, this commerical was not banned. That was a rumor that started when Microsoft leaked the commercial and then decided not to air it because they thought it might be controversial. It was there own decision to not release the video on public television. ^^That's a pretty clever move for Microsoft, if you think about it. They've decided that it's just a little too suggestive for a regular TV audience, so they don't put it up. However, they leak on the internet. Not only do people spread it around for them at no charge, but it also targets exactly the group of people that will buy xbox. And the rumor that it was banned makes it even more effective. It's better advertising for free :shock: It's a type of advertising called 'viral' advertising. Because the internet isn't monitored in the way TV is, it allows advertisers a free reign to explore their ideas. I'm sure if you check Kontraband, this ad will be there.

I'm no help with the dongle side of things. I have a wireless LAN at both home and uni, so when I get my hands on my DS, I won't be needing one. Surely you can buy one online?

Pizza is pizza is pizza. They're all lovely, and I will take everyone of them.

I hope you're prepared to buy another one in a years time when that falls apart. One of the most shoddily design and built pieces of equipment I've seen in years. The UK website isn't up yet. Does that mean that the WiFi network isn't either? I don't have access to my DS right now, so I can't tell (my DS is at home in England, I'm stuck in Belfast).

That was absolutely hilarious. Pu me in a very good mood for essay writing!

It's especially fun when you and 6 friends all have microphones to talk to each other as well. That's lots of fun.
