Can someone please explain Funny Games to me?
So what, every movie should end up with the guy getting the girl? The bad guy getting vanquished and killed forever (at least, until the sequel). Everything in the end turns out just fine? Sorry the movie makes you try and think. I don't see how that makes it any less entertaining. Also, adio is completely on point -- you're an idiot.

Um, can you think of a reason for movies besides entertainment, and a small minority of educational films? None really, unless you just want to torture your friends. Art doesn't necessarily have to be entertaining in the traditional sense.

Nah I'm a [bleep] and I know it. However the person who inspired me most when I was learning was also the meanest (Witty_fool). What better motivation then wanting to show someone up?

Great night tonight. Downed Flame Levi 1 tower (easy lol) and Ignis on 25 man after not having done 25 mans for a week. Also: :D 2k rated mage/rogue beat. Plus we are now 1810 rated. 1880 is looking closer and closer.

Funny enough you're the exact kind of person that the movie targeted dizzle. Those who want to just be entertained by cheap violence. (I read up on the movie a bit).

Yeah the description is pretty good. The movie actually looks pretty interesting too, never heard of it before.

I've got a new goal for this week. 1880 Arena rating. Why? THIS is why. :)

RAGE! Was trying for wrecking ball (kill 20 players in a BG w/o dying) tonight. Was 19/20 and some [bleep] capped the final flag right before I could get a KB even after me shouting at him not to. Sucks.

It happens all the time. Yeah people get used to it. I rarely comment on stuff here anymore anyways. Also I did laugh at the wording, attacked really?

I'm going to drop this. And my advice for your cards? Less Photoshop filters, more original work. It's hard to comment and critique something when 90% of it is made up of lens flares and runescape pictures, with maybe a gradient in the background if you want to get really high tech. There is nothing short of me telling you how to make something from scratch which I am not about to do. The problem with your fan made credit cards is that just simply taking some runescape images and putting filters on it. If you look at real credit cards which are based off of games they are more about original artwork. for example, They focus around minimalism. The problem is that if you're doing something fanmade it's hard for it to be considered your own artwork because, well, it isn't. And I can't participate in your silly little challenge here. I have real work to do for both my finals coming out, for my portfolio page I need to finish and the 3D model I need to finish for class. (I study this for a living, by the way) I've not got the time to argue over petty squables. I gave you my opinion already, either ignore it and continue on doing whatever you want or think about it. It's your choice, it doesn't effect me. However don't expect to post here with 5 minute made fan art and get a positive response, it doesn't happen and it won't happen.

Trooper
Photoshop is superior to PDN. Looks pretty good Ouchy. Not sure if I like the contrast or not, still deciding. The "R" at the end of Trooper being cut of kind of bugs me though.

I like you ouchy but nonononononononononono don't do this. The 1st is pretty decent but the text sucks in it. Don't really have an opinion on the others.

Runescape's Strengths
Darkfall may be the only game actually worse than runescape, go figure. However Age of Conan wasn't much better, big pile of [cabbage] is what that was. Everquest II had some very epic quests from what I remember (only got to 50 in that game though and quit due to the [cabbage]ty PvP). World of Warcraft even has quests that one could consider "epic", and I'm sure it has enough of these amazing quests to match what runescape can throw out. Granted some of them are older, things such as old Onyxia attunement or even Karazahn attunement, but there are still a lot of quests out there which are interesting. And, really, I must have been the only person who found runescapes quests to be the most boring things ever. Either the goal was so far out that you simply had to look it up or the quest was just so long and pointless that I didn't even see a reason to continue. Having to travel around half way across the goddamn map to find pie ingredients does not make an "epic" quest in my book. I guess it depends on your concept of a minigame really. I'm not entirely sure if I see the point of some of them, things such as the game house in runescape can easily be done through mods in WoW if that really is your "thing". But then again if you play an MMO just to do minigames then be my guest. Yeah because skills are so exciting and dynamic in runescape. Mining: ok, so I get a pickaxe. I then find a rock. I swing at the rock (click it) and get ore. Repeat the process, win. Woodcutting: ok, so I get an axe. I then find a tree. I swing at the tree (click it) and get wood. Repeat the process, win. Melee: ok, so I find a weapon. I then find a monster. I swing at the monster (click it) and get loots. Repeat the process, win. (oh and if you get close to dying teleport!) Ranged: ok, so I find a bow. I then find a monster (or even a monster behind a cage!). I shoot at the monster (click it) and get loots (or don't because its behind a cage, exciting and dynamic!). Repeat the process, win. Casting: ok, so I find some runes. I then find a monster (or even a monster behind a cage!). I click a spell at the monster and get loots (or don't because it's behind a cage). repeat the process, win. I'll go on but I'd rather not repeat myself too many times, it gets tiring. All of these mighty "skills" players always tout about are the same god damn things. Really, they are. There is nothing new or different, nothing exciting. The best crafting game in my opinion would have to be Everquest II, now that is a game where it had real varried "skills" and for good reason too. Even World of Warcraft's non-combat skills are better than the selection from runescape though. I'm just arguing because I still don't find what makes runescape so enjoyable. I mean, the only thing I ever saw people doing was training some skill (who cares what, but something) and then having firefox or their web browser of choice open up in another window browsing the internet. It didn't matter that they wern't paying any attention to the game, it didn't matter if the only skill that came into play was how long they could stay on. The game is literally just a grindfest in the idea that that is all you do. Yes, you can do crappy quests if you want and a lot of times that seems to be all players play for. I haven't played the game in 3 years. I know people who have played it in that time (my younger brother) and it still looks the same. It still functions the same and, in fact, they decided to make it worse by taking away the only interesting aspects of the game. It doesn't matter either that it is populated with the worst MMORPG and gaming community I have ever witnessed, and no doubt it has gotten worse since I left. Screechy xbox live kids, guild wars players, just nothing can compare to runescape. The majority of the community only plays it because thats all they know. They can't "install" games on their mommies computer, they can't pay to play a real MMO with daddies credit card. So instead they end up in the hands of an unprofessional java gaming company. And within due time they grow accustomed to their "first" and proclaim it to being the best. Huta, I am honestly interested in why you choose this mmo over any other in the market so far. I will agree that the "sandbox" market is thin right now. However have you tried EVE Online yet? In all honesty it has everything you want (well I'm not sure about the quests page) and is a much, much better game and sandbox. I just can't really see how someone would choose this game after playing classics such as Shadowbane, Ultima Online and others. Honestly I'm still far under the impression that runescape is only here as a childs MMO, a beginners thing. I'm probably posting too much. I'm guessing you've never played any other MMO that wasn't some free to play thing, have you?

New Sig
It has absolutely no depth. At least you didn't just throw some random 3D renders in there to make up for any lack of artistic talent. Although I am wondering what did you exactly do there with the background?
-
my first couple of sigantures :D
Color theory, learn it or at least look up the basics please. Also if you have to choose between GIMP or Paint.net choose GIMP, PDN sucks the big one.

Yeah I usually just focus on the rogue these days. I can kill well geared discs (like 1000 resil) in a 1v1 duel if I do it just right but man you guys are hard. On a somewhat same note 1700 2v2 now. Hopefully can push it 1800 tomorrow. (or at least 1750)

What are you listening to right now!?
Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous album. I have to agree with Azvareth, this is not only an amazing album but definitely their best. :thumbup:

Adio's Top 45!
