I haven't played runescape in almost 3 years now, what a stupid question to ask.

What I meant (thought it was obvious) is did you crop it away from the white background, or did you leave the white?

Cool stuff man. Rogues are a ton of fun, even though we're still pretty damn squishy too. :P Don't give up on them pre lvl 20, by the way. A melee fighter without heals in greys/greens does not fare well, haha. Once you get up to 20 and start getting better gear they are so much smoother to level. Generally I don't nee to sit down to eat, between canabalize (<3 undead) and bandages. By the way, don't hesitate to ask me and questions at all about the class. I've played it for a bit now and enough that I know a good bit about all the specs. :P (I'm leveling my 2nd rogue atm. First was lvl 70 and this one is now 45. Technically I've leveled like.. 6 rogues, because I kept getting them to the mid teens and quitting lol. I've also leveled an ally rogue to 29).

BlueTear has the right idea. In the end really, it depends on what you want to do. I love the rogue playstyle, I love being constantly #1 on DPS charts and I love what rogues can do in PvP. Really though if you play a hybrid do get ready (pre 70) to do pretty much anything in instances depending on what others need. But yeah, in the end its up to you. All of the classes are great, and are useful in both PvP and PvE in some sort of way. (Even if its just one spec, they are useful).

Not really. Just remember if you roll a class capable of tanking (Druid, paladin, warrior) or a class capable of healing (Druid, paladin, shaman, priest) expect to have to tank/heal in instances a lot. If you don't really like responsibility like that (or don't like tanking / healing) you can either: A. Roll those anyways, just refuse to do so in instances. That won't net you many groups though unless you're a hybrid class (Druid/paladin/shaman). If you roll warrior/priest 9 times out of ten you will tank/heal. B. Stay away from those classes and instead roll a pure DPS class. DPS classes are Warlock, Hunter, rogue, mage. Those classes you really don't have much responsability other than some CC here and there and making sure you don't pull agro. Any class is a good decision though, just depends on what you want to do. (tank/DPS/Heal or a mixture depending). PS: Dinged 45 just now today on my rogue. My god its going so fast too. Already back up to 124g after buying my mount too ;D.

Trading in a system gives you a really raw deal, its better to just try and ebay it if you can for a bit cheaper.

Don't make excuses.

:wall: . Also, just for the future, it may be a wise idea to translate what the error is giving you. While this is easy to figure out other problems might be more difficult for most of the English speaking people on the forums to figure out in german. :P

usually they recommend you on some lame small pop server. I would join a server that a TIF person is on or, failing that, look for a server with "high" population. These are the best because they usually don't have ques but have a large population in them. If you wern't a panzy I'd recommend you come play on Burning Blade but, alas, it's PvP. :P

Really cool band, haven't really heard anything like them before. Nice find. :P

2.3.2 PTR Patch Notes Updated 2.3.2 PTR patch notes have been updated, here are the new changes: General * Boat and zeppelin vendors and NPCs are are back on duty. * Reduced network latency by disabling the Nagle algorithm. PvP * Warmasters/marshals in Alterac Valley now increase each otherÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s maximum health and damage by 20%. This is a stacking effect. Druid * Ravage: The damage multiplier on this ability has been increased from 350% to 385%. Rogue * Ambush: The damage multiplier on this ability has been increased from 250% to 275%. * Hemorrhage: This ability now correctly does additional damage when its debuff has already been applied. * Preparation now resets the cooldown of Shadowstep and no longer resets the cooldown of Adrenaline Rush. * Shadowstep now adds a 3 second, 70% movement speed increase. * Sinister Calling now also increases the percentage damage bonus of Hemorrhage and Backstab by 2/4/6/8/10%. Items * The Vengeful GladiatorÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Grimoire is now available on vendors. 2.3.2 changes, yiikes. The rogue changes are obviously the most apparent. Shadowstep is now probably the best PvP spec, and AR/Prep is nothing but dead. This should be interesting, to say the least.

Thats not what I meant...

That sums up the entire idea of your entire post. GENERALIZING is bad. I don't know why so many of you can't see that. I mean, damn, why can't some people just understand that any genre can be quite varied. I'm done trying to argue through your thick skull yaff. You keep trying to hide behind this idea of your "opinion" when you're trying to state stuff that isn't even a damn opinion. Trying to say that rap's lyrics, for example, are all about the hood is not an opinion. It is you trying to state a fact, that is wrong. oÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷pinÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ion /ÃÆââ¬Â°Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ÃÆââ¬Â¹Ãâ¹Ã¢â¬Â pÃÆââ¬Â°ÃâênyÃÆââ¬Â°Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢n/ 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. fact /fÃÆÃâÃâækt/ 1. something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.

You can have your own opinion, but so much of it is plain wrong. Sure, you can dislike rap but all the reasons for disliking it are wrong. That is not just what it is. Again, 'talk fast' and see what it sounds like, seriously. No, you're wrong, you fail. I'm not a big rap person so I don't know many bands, but look beyond mainstream. Anyways using a computer is still music (see: electronica). No. Case in point, the lyrics for the saga francis song I posted earlier. Likewise Dann a while back showed me a rap band that rapped about sci-fi stuff. It's not all about the 'hood' you're just too ignorant to look past mainstream. Fair enough. Sure, maybe you can't. That certainly isn't the same for everyone though, and rap lyrics are quite varied just like any other genre. At any rate its not like you actually identify with a lot of metal bands. I mean, if you ever listen to something like Black metal do you actually identify and agree with their satanic or pagan ideals? Or when you listen to death metal do you actually agree with or can relate to someone going through all sort of bodily pain? I doubt it. It isn't moshing music, thats just trying to look for excuses. Because you know all of these rap artists, right? I could easily just take a crap metal band (slipknot) that have really shown themselves to be fairly cocky and then apply it to all of metal. However, that is wrong. Sure, maybe some of it but not all of it by a long shot. But my god, again, you fail to see what is in your own genre you enjoy. In black metal (a sub genre of metal) bands such as gorogoth promote satanic ideals and real heavy anti-Christianity. (past the point of any sort of atheisim). That good for you?

I still have no idea. Call of Duty 4 / Mass effect would be nice though.

It was run (and still is, considering it is under their package deal) Sony Entertainment. I'm not sure why but the game just never caught on very much to people. I think most of them who play it now probably just play it because it is part of the "Station Access Pass" sony offers, which lets people be subbed to all of their MMOs at once. You're thinking of Planetside ;) Whoops I'm an idiot. Excuse my posts.

You're an idiot yaff. If you're not going to even bother reading the rest of the thread don't bother posting. I don't care if it is your opinion, because your opinion is dead wrong. I'm not going to explain, again, why all the points you pointed out are wrong. It's not like you're going to listen anyways. :roll:

Kosz, I'm sure bioshock one simply because it was easily one of the most captivating games of the year. Artistically speaking it was great, and it had a good story as well. I'm sorry but any game which is just a rehash of a formula we've all seen and done ten years ago should not be game of the year. I'm not going to argue if halo 3 is a good game or not, I won't. However it in no way should win a Game of the Year award when we have so many great, original, games out. Anyways I still enjoyed the orange box the best out of the year but Bioshock is a deserving game for the title. To add a bit: Online play is great, it really is. What I don't get however is that people just can't enjoy a great single player experience anymore. I miss the days of being able to just enjoy a good 20-30 hour campaign in a game. At any rate you would be happy to know that Time magazine awarded Halo 3 with the game of the year. Of course TIME is, at best, a laughable gaming source so its no wonder why the picked halo 3. You're correct, many of the features were a throwback to the System Shock series. However that does not undermine the actual art behind the game.

[edit]

cool stuff mate. Nothing really to comment on considering the are more of sketches and experiments, but I like.

It looks like you didn't actually ever crop the render out and just brushed over it. Its ok, better than your others. The stroke around the text is really blah however and the background is nothing really special. The text is also, IMO, too large. Really though the fact that the render hasn't even been cropped out (which, if it has been do tell me. And, if it has been, drop the white around it because its very distracting) is just a killer for this.

I still do not have the faintest idea what you are trying to represent, even after you explained it. I guess the one lying on the ground is supposed to have fallen, I see that because of the ever so clever black lines you scribbled. Its pretty poor, especially considering the fact that you should not have to hunt for what someone changed in an image.

No idea who you are. Anyways, the signatures. 1. Probably my favorite out of the bunch. I like the bit on the left, and even though it doesn't really flow well with the right side i like the contrast. However I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the color scheme on the right, namely the green. 2. Not bad, but way too sharpened and way too much going on. Not a big fan of the guy centered as well. 3. Not as much a fan of this one. I don't like the blocky filter-ish effect you decided to use, and the text is jumbled up as well so it is hard to make out what it says. At first the image you used in it drew my eye in, but when I realized it wasn't something you had done I was a bit disappointed. Likewise it is a bit too sharp as well although the sharpness works well in this one (I guess). 4. Lot of the same comments on #3. I don't like the blocks, they just look kind of childish almost and there isn't much more actually going on in the signature. It's also (IMO) too sharpened. 5. Blegh, probably the worst out of all 5. The same blocky-filtery bit, except this time its just kind of plastered over what looks like a 3D render. The colors are too saturated as well and the text really doesn't flow with the piece. Likewise, I don't like the cheap "shadow" effect you did around it as it just makes the signature look worse. Overall they are ok, I guess. Just stick away from those boxes and you should be good. I'd rather you expand on the style as in the first one, as it is light years beyond any of the other images in the gallery. If I were to rate them I would rate #1 as a 7.5/10 or 8/10 while the others would be around the 4/10 to 5/10 mark. (comparatively).

I hope you realize that when you make it 'bigger' you'll just stretch it out and make it look more pixelated and worse. Anyways it is too small to even make out any sort of details, but its pretty blegh. The colors are poor, it looks like his ears are triangles, and it looks more like an elementary kid's drawing than a pixel art piece. Also "JPEG" "PNG" and such are all file extentions. When you save an image in paint (or any program for that matter) it will give you an option what to save as via a drop down menu at the bottom. For future reference your best bet is to use "PNG" in paint or "GIF" if you need to really get it bellow the 30kb mark (if it is too large.) You don't want to ever save an image as JPEG in paint because paint has a horrible JPEG compression. Likewise, never save a pixel piece as JPEG simply because of the way it handles compression. I won't get into details but pretty much it will produce 'artifacts' (extra pixels in various places) that you did not put there. It isn't noticeable in abstract art and such, but in pixels it is very noticeable.

What? I have no clue what you are trying to ask here. By "DS Mic" do you mean the build in microphone in the DS? If so, you don't plug that in... and I don't know what you would be recording on it. If its a standard microphone just plug it into the mic spot of your sound card or computer (or if it is a USB mic the USB port) and use a program such as sound recorder to record yourself. Still no idea what you are really talking about though, some clarification please?
