Whoa this is in AOW O.O great work sonic :D. The guide looks really nice, I'll be using this to get 50 runecrafting for sure :).

More street fighter madness it seems :P. If only they had decent fighting games on PC :(. EDIT: OMGOMGOMG this game is on PC, I'm buying it then :XD:.

I've been away but now I'm back. You've done heaps while I was away :lol:. Some sweet clue scrolls and even nicer slayer tasks, keep it up :thumbsup:!

Alrighty, an update before I sign off for the night (I've come down with a bad cold so not really up to doing much except sleeping :|). I'll probably be getting membership tomorrow and then I'll start mining. Sadly I sold some of my gold and coal that I'd mined previously (I thought I was going to be f2p for a while so I sold off some of the things I could for cash) so I won't have an accurate tally of gold/coal for you to see once I hit 99 :(. Still, 99 is enough for me, the rest is really just a bonus :P. I'm going to continue mining up to 99 off gold, and I don't really have any other plans for training other skills after that. I might just take a long break and chill on the forums after I hit my goal, because I don't expect to be doing much on rs after I've finished it. Still, I'll find something to do :). But thats the future and I'll be focusing on the here and now, so I'll be heading off to the mine tomorrow once I get my membership back. I'm pretty sure I'm only 170K off 82, so I'll probably finish that off and get a close to 83 as possible :).

Grats on 96, I feel lazy already :lol:. I'll start mining again tomorrow probably, hopefully level 85 won't take me too long... nothing compared to level 96 though :<3:.

:lol: Yeah I figured, I reckon I'll just let it sit there now. I'll keep it in my sig if anyone still wants to take a look at it though :P.

Where's the problem exactly? Oo They don't look THAT bad, in fact they look perfectly fine. I can understand the other fixes and glitches, but this one just seems to be a bit ridiculous. It's just a cape after all :|.

Thats cool, I don't mind experience rates much, as long as I'm having fun :D. No rush for membership, though I would like some cash for other goal's I've decided to complete in the future :P. *cough* Runecrafting *cough*. Guess I'm heading off to the mine then :lol:.

Hey man, long time no speak :P. You've gotten heaps done while I was away, more than I have anyway :lol:. Good luck with things! PS: I'll be starting up again soon ;).

:lol: Its great to see that you're back! I'll be playing as F2P once I start up again, probably for a while, so if you can help me out with mining I'd be grateful :D.

You're back :D. Like you I've taken some time off mining (idk about 3 months now) but I'll be getting back into it soon. I will be F2P for a while (I reckon around a month or so) and I might be mining during that time, if you can give me any tips on F2P mining I'd be grateful :P. Keep it up man, you're nearly there :).

Nah, its double exp. to celebrate the release of the stimulus package, so 360 got their double exp. weekend when they got the stimulus package, so PS3 and PC get double exp as well. But everyone is boycotting the stimulus package on PC and for good reason. We never had to buy maps for our games until Modern Warfare 2, and once everyone boycotts it (except for the [developmentally delayed]s) I don't think they'll be pulling a stunt like that ever again. Hopefully. Oh, have you guys read about the strife at IW? I don't think modern warfare 3 is gonna be very good because just about everyone who headed the team has left, leaving a lot of spots to be filled but with no real experience. Not that I'm gonna go buy modrrn [cabbage]fare 3 anyway -.-. Do you remember what happen the last time PC gamers got together for a massive boycott? Failed miserably. We 360 and PS3 users pay for our maps and never had dedicated servers and we don't whine and complain when something doesn't go our way. You really don't want to open up this can of worms, it's a losing battle for all sides. It won't matter, the point behind that boycott was that they were removing freedoms from the end-user: the consumers themselves. For example, the dedicated servers: IW removed that option from the legitimate consumer, removing freedoms that were, and still are THE NORM FOR ANY REPUTABLE PC MULTIPLAYER GAME. With those servers being removed, we no longer have the freedoms we used to: the freedom to play whatever maps you want, the freedom to enjoy gametypes, mods, etc the way you wanted to. They removed freedoms, and essentially told the consumers, "Hey, you don't need to have freedom, here, play the game the way WE want you to play. We don't care how you want to enjoy the game, we want to control it, just to protect the product itself." It's like buying toothpaste, and not being allowed to use it unless you're brushing your teeth. It's also like giving a child food for ten years, then cutting them off. You're removing an essential feature that is fundamentally required for a person, or in this case, a multiplayer PC game, to succeed or function. It's only a forefront of issues to come, and this brings a debate of "How much freedom should the consumer have?", reaching back as far as even the Betamax case of 1984 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc.), even before then. I don't feel like debating it at the moment though. To deal with consoles, matchmaking works fine, as it's the best the systems can handle efficiently, and we all know how unstable those connections can be. I'm actually arguing for PC/Console equality. You guys think it's unfair for you to have to pay for this one map pack and that it's unfair that you don't have dedicated servers for this one game but we've never had a free map pack or dedicated servers. Why should you all get these freedoms if we've never had them in the first place? Believe me when I say that we want a choice in our maps other than a simple veto and that we want to be able to play the way we want to but if we can't, what makes you all, the ones who aren't paying for online play, deserve the right to have all of this? The way I see it, we should be getting free expansions and dedicated servers like you all, or you have to pay for expansions and have matchmaking like us. Naturally, yes, both sides should be made equal. Both sides should get the free expansions and dedicated servers, but there's technical problems with this mindset. And we payed for our online play in another form: Higher-priced hardware, but that's another topic entirely. Although to add onto this, and explain the technical issues behind this somewhat, take TF2 for the consoles and compare them to the PC version as an example. The way things are now, they can't be completely equal. Consider TF2 on the PC; it's constantly updated as updates roll out, and the total size of the updates can reach sizes that some of the consoles cannot store without a larger storage unit. VALVe also wanted to send those updates to consoles, but for example, Microsoft won't allow the updates unless they can get some royalties for it. I'd continue this further, but I need sleep for now. And yes, they should be equal. And as a final note, restricting materials on the disc and making you pay to unlock them with real money shouldn't be allowed; It's a cheap money grab, and we all know that wouldn't work on the PC games that would do this, since it'd be cracked within hours. Look what I started :|. Both should be equal, but as long as consoles have all the restrictions in place they will not be equal. I'd like to see consoles get dedicated servers, constant, fre updates and the like, but they won't because Microsoft want to milk you for the cash (they kinda need to though, because that's their reveneu from console gaming right there. The royalties anyway). You think I don't know? I own a 360 and I play it frequently, and I reckon its appaling you have to pay for add-ons, map packs, etc. and that is exactly why everyone is boycotting it on PC. Of course there is a chance that people will buy them on PC, but if you actually play a game you'll realise that everyone has pretty much refused to purchase them (people have willingly changed their names to oppose and make clear their intentions. I won't post the colourful words used to describe the DLC but you can imagine I'm sure). And why the hell would you want to DEGRADE PC game quality? Out of spite? hat would be ridiculous. There should be a push for equality on the PC gaming level, where you buy a game and that's all you need to get. Imagine how happy everyone would be, eh? But the way things are going now, we could see a push in the WRONG direction by gaming publishers. C'mon, let's all be friends now :P.

My friend got an R4, gave me all the legendary pokemon that are event only and got them on HG. Then, I picked up a copy of platinum, so I can trade all the sinnoh pokemon over to HG and complete my pokedex. Damn, life is good. I'm currently up to Kanto, I think the third Gym leader there, but I can't really remember. I have also been busy amassing an army of gengars which I will use to defeat my opponents. Quake at the sight of six level 100 Gengars with Hypnosis/dream eater/nightmare/shadow ball :D. It'll be my little hobby I guess XD.

I can't wait for Halo Reach, gives me a reason to play my console again XD. Oh, that and Dead Space 2/Dead Rising 2 ;). But seriously, Halo looks like it is going to revolutionise the series, and they kinda need to since all the little kids are taking it over, and nobody wants to market to little kids... cause everyone knows all the older guys play games.

Wouldn't you know, my processor is too [cabbage] to run this game. Brilliant. Now I need to shell out another $390 so I can start playing a proper fps, cause you know, modern [cabbage]hole 2 isn't gonna quit on me yet (in fact, its the only game that has ever run on my computer without any troubles whatsoever. Brilliant -.-).

After playing this game for a grand total of 185 hours, I can safely say that it is so much freaking easier on 360 than PC. The number of hackers you get on PC is ridiculous, plus the game isnt well balanced for a keyboard and mouse, instead it was ported over with teh controls in mind of a controller, making the aiming and moving quite bodgy. Maps are hopelessly unbalanced compared to cod4, even with the new stimulus package coming out soon I don't have much hope for IW/Activision to make the game any more playable. The only way you can get any kills on PC is if you do the following: - Tube - Last Stand every time you die (you have to be good though) - Run around and just Akimbo spray like a noob - Tube (wait, what?) The game is heaps of fun, but it is NOT balanced for PC play whatsoever. They didnt even think of balancing the controls or aiming :/. Most of the corridor firefights come down to a ridiculous amount of spray, and the only thing that takes any real skill (sniping) has ai assist in mind when you follow a target. But with marathon/lightweight it is impossible to shoot anyone down, unless you hardscope for 5 seconds following them across the map. [bleep] this, I'm gonna go play cod4.

Well, tip.it certainly got thi right, Dungeoneering it is :lol:. Too bad I'm busy playing other games on PC, and combat doesn't really appeal to me much. But if it benefits other skills, I might have a reason to use it in the future. It looks like a lot of fun anyway :P. Kinda like a slayer but with more rewards, and a 60x falador dungeon Oo.

whoa whoa whoa WHOA! You have HG/SS? Me to :D. I only got it like 3 days ago though, so I haven't played it much. I'm only up the the third badge >.< Oh, and grats on all the rs progress :).

The Universe is infinite. There could be hundreds of billions of other planets just like ours, with humans. I'm not saying they're anywhere close, or that we'll ever even comprehend how far they are from us. The Universe is so freaking infinite that there could be hundreds of billions of planets with giant walking, talking bears. I'm not being sarcastic. Seriously, think about it. Umm, I said that there was life. Reread my post. :???: I'm agreeing with you, and expanding on your point. ;) If you think about it if it is that infinite someone on an entirely different planet looking exactly the same as you and in the exact same conditions could be doing the exact same thing right now.......... Than the fabric of time itself would rip apart and the world would be in utter chaos... Do you people watch Dr. Who? :P. Anyway, yeah the odds that there is life out there is massive, but the number of planets that exist out there must be in the trillions. So yeah, there has to be something out there. Maybe there is a planet filled with pokemon...

Far out, I've been slackening with my mining :lol:. Big cograts on all the progress so far, can't wait for 99 Mining :D.

Damnit! My cricket team missed out on the semi's by one game. We had them all bowled for 101 and of course, thinking we were gonna win, went in to bat to be bowled all out for 83 >.< Still, seniors next year so I'll be playing with my Dad. That'll make for some interesting games :XD:.

Haha true ;)

Oh the irony :lol:.

Couldn't have said it better myself :). I will be getting back to mining sometime shortly, with holidays coming up and all I'll have a lot of spare time so I'll probably play runescape when there's nothing to do. But I reckon I'll start playing a bit earlier, because my exams have all finished and I only have one project which I have to work on atm. So heaps of spare time :P.
