"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Mono girls also come back quite often. That's one of the more common cases of cheating.

You'll get used to that feeling, after a while, getting kicked into the dirt mutiple times just makes you feel like you've taken a prolonged mud bath in a spa :lol: .

DUST 514:MMOFPS - Cross Platform | Status: Closed BETA
You've obviously never tried EVE online haha, comparing a shooter to EVE online is like comparing an apple with the fall of Rome. The two games are literally connected. You're not comparing an apple to the Fall of Rome here, you''re comparing an apple to its tree. As for the game itself, I've been looking for information about it for a while now, after hearing about it on the TGS Podcast. Probably the most novel concept out there for an FPS, however this would also be its downfall. For one, the fact that you can get corporations to back you up means that the people that just want to pick up the game will have a disadvantage versus a player that has a giant consortium from EVE behind them.

Star Wars: The Old Republic
Unless they changed the amount of players in one match and the length of time a match lasts for, Combat Arms is nowhere near an MMO. Games like Planetside 1 and 2 are considered to be MMOFPS. Has there been a modern MMO that has not started using microtransactions? I can only think of Rift.

Return of the Gods
Can't say I'm surprised, however I'm not expecting the final conclusion to happen any time soon. I wouldn't be surprised if the final quest will be released in 2020, if even then. I wonder what will happen with the Edicts of Guthix....

London 2012 Olympics
Cuba was, I believe, the best country when it comes to either golds/person, or medals/person, in the '08 olympics, not sure which. I think it's a terrible idea to have the olympics in a country winning the most medals, because I like seeing what the different hosts can show when their country is in the spotlight.

This explains alot, I don't think I've been able to get anything higher than 280 while doing solely mining or woodcutting.

Do these things even offer an advantage compared to lamps of an equivalent level?

Cracked thread
I've read some articles that I find interesting (mostly the lists), but I never read the ones for "humour". If I had to choose an article that really stood, ut, it should be that one guy's article where he went to a Justin Bieber concert and reported the what was going on. He looked like the biggest pedo in the world.

Tip.It Times - 22nd July 2012
I haven't played LOTRO much, only the starting area, so I can't comment on how it got saved by microtransactions. Do you mean it received an influx of players, increasing game population, then a few of them decided to pay for microtransactions? I'm not sure if that will work on RS, as we already have a poorly masked microtransactions model based on chance. Besides, an increase of experience, while worthwhile for some players, will make many more people feel cheated. We tend to base our opinions on other players on how much experience they have, and suddenly offering experience straight up to the people willing to pay for it will change the culture of the game even more than the EOC, making more members leave as "the game just isn't for them".

Dark Knight Rising
I was blown away by Nolan's and Hathaway's Catwoman. First of all, she was not hypersexualized, despite wearing tight latex and heels for almost the entire movie. On top of that, the acting was really great. A friend of mine pointed out an important moment in her opening scene: She steals the jewels, is outed as Catwoman (or just a thief at this point), and suddenly, her body language changes. Re-watch the scene if you can, it was really amazing how she slid from being an uptight servant into this lithe, cunning antihero. [spoiler=Spoilers]Or that moment when the cops come into the bar, guns out, she escapes by acting like an innocent bystander yelling her head off, then instantly collects herself and slips away when they're gone. I also wanted to see Batman die. Would have been a good, heroic ending to the trilogy if he went off in the sunset with an armed nuke in tow.

Here's the full silver athlete outfit. Got it after rolling doing a hill after cheese for what felt like ages :? . The ring gives a boost to xp in the games, fyi, not sure if the rest does anything. Oh yeah, and gold level rewards are members only. EDIT: the full set without ring and torch gives -2 kg.

Kiva Loans
This sounds like a great way for people to donate money, however it may not work for everybody, as many people do the recommended safe investments by banks, such as GIC's, which offer around a 3% return. This ties a bit of money into other projects outside of charity. However, this could help convince more people to donate with money they do not wish to invest.

Looking at the countries of servers: 23 United States 7 United Kingdom 5 Canada 4 Europe 3 Netherlands 2 Australia 9 other I'm agreeing with you now. As for the items, although I've heard Jagex boast before about how awesome an update is, but then it turns out to be horrible, I can see these being very strong items. The only items that sell well in a microtransactions shop are very cool looking cosmetics, or very strong items that offer an advantage, wether it's an xp boost, or a damage boost. For the items themselves, I'd hesitate to say that Jagex would divide the items as follows: 1 melee item, 1 ranged item, 1 mage item, and 1 skilling item, similar to how dungeoneering classes are divided. This gives every side of the triangle something powerful to not skew the triangle, while also giving an alternative for non-pkers. Even for microtransactions, Jagex is too lazy to make 10 quests :wink: .

Shooting Massacre at Dark Knight Rises Premiere
Read about it yesterday morning. Went to see the Dark Knight later on, and nothing interesting happened but the movie. Really hate how the media is clawing at this story. For all we know at the moment, this could be a Herostratic murder. The shooter might have killed those people just to make a name for himself, to see himself seen for once. I also found it funny on CTV news how they mentioned that video games were the cause of this to happen. Kind of getting tired of video games becoming the thing every single worried parent starts blaming when something bad happens.

I don't think population really has anything to do with this. Instead, the universal usage of the U.S. dollar (seeing that it is the most commonly traded currency in the world) is the main reason why they use it. Besides, $45 sounds better than 37 euros or 29 pounds. If mods don't mind this, I really want to say this, even if it will start the fire again: there have always been the Molly's in the game that will complain when their wants are not fulfilled, there will always be the Snowball's in the game that will oppose everything about an update, and there will always be sheep that will not question, but follow the shepherd, but when the Benjamin's start to complain and do something about it, you know the game is going downhill. I don't care if you don't get the reference, I just wanted to get this off my mind.

I don't think Jagex has much in store (other than for Solomon's Store) for August. At least we know what the bonus exp weekend is replaced by. For now.

How can you not remember the first RS2 demon model? Those guys were pretty lanky, then they got buffed up with that one rework with all dragons.
