This is something I put together a couple months ago for an inter-hall competition at the college I attend. While the story is a little convoluted, due to some time constraints, I really enjoy the directing, shots, editing, and special effects, which is what I got to do. Since I used a camera, I figured this was the place to post this. And, since this is not Reddit, I have no fear of the downvote. I used my Nikon D3100 for the video, which is by no means the best, but it got the job done. I used Adobe AE for the special effects and Final Cut to piece it all together. Let me know what you guys think!

I bought a dragon halberd and started doing quests and skilling like crazy because I wanted to see the inside of the elf city, which was coming out (I thought) soon. Six years have passed. Still waiting.

As for the second article. One word. Sailing. It's coming.

I would love to hear your opinions about some of the stuff I have done. Most of these have been manipulated, so I'll label the ones that have and haven't. Sorry about the large image sizes, but I thought most people might appreciate them in full resolution. Thanks! Manipulated: Not manipulated:

"The company has made it my responsibilty today to put an end to 100,000 years of being weirded out by gays." -- Michael Scott It's weird.

Two Girls One Cup. Biggest regret of my life was being curious enough to watch that.

Sleep.

You're more likely to die in the car on the way to the amusement park than you are to die on a roller coaster ride.

My most favorite computer (and the all time greatest) has to be my G3 Pismo. As far as awesome goes, there is no comparison. I also really like my Acer Aspire One. Great little computer.

"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Yes. I did just quote the Bible, but it sums it up nicely there. Everything you work for is meaningless. For all the religious and non-religious people out there, you're going to die. You're going to rot. All your stuff is going to rot. And the Milky Way will slam right into Andromeda in a couple billion years, and BAM! All gone. So in the end, is your life pretty meaningless? Yep! Sure is. Nothing you have or do will be worth crap in the long run. It'll just burn and get sucked into a nice old black hole. It's up to you to make something of yourself that won't burn, and that's where the religious debate comes into play.

Hahaha! Easy! Stupidity. Many people are too stupid to know what is good for them, and if they do have that knowledge, they lack the self-discipline to act upon it.

Two worst times I've gotten in trouble at school: 1.) Bypassed the Admin account on a Mac at my school using the root account so I could install Photoshop on it. Some little freshman was watching and tattled. Not a very cool situation. 2.) I and a friend got through the firewall protecting my school's financial server. We got in less trouble for this one because we confessed voluntarily and told them how to fix it. This next one, though it didn't happen to me, is the best "in trouble" story ever. First off, I am an American, and to all you other other Americans on Tip.it, accept the fact that there are many [developmentally delayed]ed Americans out there, as our British friends have already discovered. It was the very first day of school, junior year, and my History teacher was gone on vacation to Disney World, so we had a substitute. In my class was a young British fellow named Charlie, complete with awesome accent. The sub, being rather pissy, took role rather gruffly, and upon coming to Charlie, she became upset that he had a British accent, because rather than assuming he was British, she assumed he was only pretending to be British to confuse her and make fun of noble England. The following conversation occurred: Sub: "You are going to have to stop talking like that." Charlie: "Why?" Sub: "It's disrespectful to me, your classmates, and Great Britain." Charlie: "I can't stop." Sub: "And why is that?" Charlie: "Because I am freaking British. I spell colour with an o and a u." Charlie got sent to the principle's office with a nice little detention slip for "pretending to be British."

Let's take this logic and change it. Blame the gun no the people.... What idiot wouldn't take advantage of something when its placed in front of them? Don't be silly. You are comparing apples to oranges. Cheating a system and shooting someone are two very different things. If you want to make a valid analogy, take the time to think of one. For example... U.S. housing market. People took advantage of bad loans and intentionally inflated the market. Who is responsible? The people who took advantage of the system, as well as the regulators who allowed it to happen. Who would be responsible for a Runescape economy crash? Merchanters for cheating the system, and Jagex for allowing it. It's human nature to take advantage of something. It's the job of those in charge to stop it before damage is done.

Absolutely AMAZING read. I love the historical aspect of Runescape.

I have got to say, I have not been a big fan of the Development Diaries. They seem promotional rather than informative. Rather than JAGEX saying what updates are coming soon, it's more of a way for JAGEX Mods to say how awesome the stuff they're doing is. As for the boss monsters, I am kind of a lone player, as most of my friends quit years ago, so I am not much up for groups. Every time JAGEX forces people into groups, I find it to be pretty sucky. *cough* Barbarian Assault *cough* Quests like the Heroes Quest and Shield of Arrav work in much the same way. You throw some people together who want to get it done, not play for the fun of it. That is why they should make monsters that are soloable and teamable (?). It allows players to play in the manner they wish to.

Awesome!

I learned that all Arabs are named Ali. The only thing more fail than Sailing is Horses. Harry Potter doesn't have 85 magic because he can't teleblock Lord Voldemort.

Some of my favorite glitches that I have witnessed/had happen to me: 1.) It used to be that every time you would teleport from the Greater Demons in the Brimhaven Dungeon to Ardougne, you would get the teleportation matrix random event. 100% of the time. 2.) If you killed a NPC at the exact moment it healed a hit point, it would walk around, bowed to the ground.

Honestly, it really depends on what you want to do. If it's just some typing, internet surfing, and some Runescape, go for an Aspire One. I am using one now, and it's been pretty great so far. If you want to run things like Photoshop or Dreamweaver, go with a Mac. If you want games, you can pretty much go either way. Games for Macs have been becoming far more common recently. There a lot more out now than Myst (great game!) and the Sims. However, I am going to go out on a limb here and say go with a low end PC, and slap some Ubuntu on that. \

Examining the town guards outside of Rellekka: Guard 1: "What a rubbish job he has" Guard 2: "Who's going to steal a whole town anyways?" Also, camo used to be kind of rare and was tradable until JAGEX decided it didn't want people making money off of random events. Random events have been crap ever since.

Believe it or not, this statement is fairly accurate. The whole economy centered around PKing, because PKing is a thing called money drain. Skillers made products, Pkers bought them, used them, made some money, and bought more things from Skillers. It was a great balance. Just because you didn't (and still don't) Pk doesn't mean that it didn't effect your gameplay.

Ha! The Encyclopedia Dramatica... While Runescape promotes cybersex, the Encyclopedia Dramatica promotes... REAL SEX! Advertisement from Encyclopedia Dramatica: "Seek a girl and meet for sex." Any morally upright, Runescape bashing mother would never quote the Encyclopedia Dramatica as the source of all knowledge and wisdom. This article is clearly a joke, and kudos to whomever wrote it.

A more common scam was to lure someone in the little house, tell them to take the wine, and then keep closing the door on them. Saw this happen to a guy cooking in Catherby once, way back before gravestones. He was wearing full dragon, had no weapon, was skulled, and had no prayer. He got an evil chicken, and two guys wouldn't let him out of the house, so he died.

Right now, the strongest is Corp. Beast, however I think JAGEX has a stronger monster in store. Not necessarily one of a higher level, but with smarter AI, like revenants.

Zezima Just go to W2 GE and see how many people have "Zezima" somewhere in their name.
