[Some 'blogger' parent thinks RS makes kids fat]

[hide=bahahahaha]

From: http://ambercrummy.blogspot.com/2008/07 ... esity.html

 

 

 

I have recently been compelled to type ravenously to warn you all about an epidemic... And that is a game called Runescape. I believe that it promotes childhood obesity, wastes a person's life, and promotes over the internet serious relationships that make it a haven for child molesters and/or cyber sex acts.

 

 

 

First let's cover what this game is... I read a bit from the wonderful Encyclopedia Dramatica, and unfortunately I admit to playing this game every now and then. But I play responsibly. It is a simple game of point and click as you hear simple MIDI music playing, the entire game is played by the click of two mouse buttons, while chat is obviously using all the letters of the keyboard. The camera angle can be adjusted with the arrowkeys. But all in all, you just click on something, wait, then the process gets done. When you work, you click... If you're high enough of a level, you will acquire the resource you wish, provided that you also have the correct equipment. Fighting consists of clicking on a 'monster' and hoping that you win the battle, with occasional equipment switches to suit the fight. Then there's eating....

 

 

 

In the game, if your hitpoints are low, you are wise to eat food, for it instantly heals those hitpoints. And the player's stomach is insane... Immense storage. I have seen videos of people gulping down an entire inventory of swordfish in a losing battle. Younger players can take this in a bad light. They can suddenly be brainwashed that eating immense amounts of food can help them live longer or heal faster from a simple cut or bruise. And that 'brain stamp' the game causes can harm their lives, making them obese and shunned by society for it. And they may eventually be stuck in that rut of constantly being laughed at for how they look, and refuse to even go outside and exercise, much less lead a normal life.

 

 

 

Back to work. Working on Runescape is simple, click on the resource... Well I've already told you the process. But that's it. That's all you do. Nothing else. When you have wasted enough of your time on that resource and have gained another level, you are free to forage for another better resource. The process repeats. Obviously cash is made from work, and then you can spend that on something that you will not own for very long, because you will end up needing the next best thing. The process is always the same. There is an end to it all as well... Let's use mining as an example: You move from level 1 to level 99, the limit. The stuff you mine goes in this order, at least I THINK it does... not naming the member items: Copper/Tin->Iron->(coal?)->Silver->Gold->Mithril->Adamant->Rune->Dragon.

 

After you can mine them all, what else is there to do? That's right, nothing whatsoever. That's it. Done. The END. By that time you're probably rich, maybe lacking some of the 'rare' party hats and whatever. Then all you CAN do is what a player named Zezima does, who is known to have trained up all levels of his character to 99: Just stay on top of the high score list by continuously clicking things over and over. I feel sad for this Zezima person, and hope that he does have a healthy social, spiritual, physical, and mental lifestyle. But he has wasted so much of his life clicking away, such a waste!

 

 

 

Anyway. I encourage you all to stay away from Runescape, World of Warcraft, games like these that are renown for being extremely addictive. And parents, get your child off Runescape before you see him wolfing down ten steaks with the excuse that the dog bite nearly made him respawn in Lumbridge, save him before the damage is really done!!!!

 

 

 

And here are some videos to go with this long post.

 

 

 

Some kids acting all too serious and talking to inanimate beings, and they make constant references to 'gods', suggesting that there is a religion that some Runescapers follow. Also there is lots of greed shown in this person who made the video. He must stop playing, though it is too late.

 

 

 

 

 

A video that shows accurately how female players are treated in the game. I see this all the time.

 

 

 

A simple 'no, I have no money for a drink' would have done well.

 

 

 

Cybersex taking place. No nudity obviously, but plenty of expletives. Beware. Make sure you read in the chatbox.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and when I said Zezima may not be as bad into the game, never mind... Look here.

 

Oh, Lord.... Look at what they're SAYING.

 

Zezima: I never thought I could be happier until I met you.

 

Elianestp: I have everything I need now.

 

Zezima: You've changed my life... I'm sure the future can be even better.

 

Elianestp: I love you Peter <3>

 

Gizzengard2: I think I'm gonna cry.

 

 

 

After watching this video, I am convinced that this person named Peter, aka Zezima, is a lost cause. But of course nothing is certain.

 

 

 

 

 

*SIGH*. Humans.

 

 

 

I read this and thought, "omgbbq"? yeeahhh, guess what guyssss, I can eat a whole shark in RUNESCAPE, now i'mm gunna do it in real life, because i'm cool like that! then I'm gunna go to god wars dungon and kill kree`ara!

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, disscuss the article.

I think this post is hilarious. but if my parents posted this, I'd have to shoot them in the nuts

 

 

 

 

 

Both of your parents have nuts? :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock:

 

LMFAO OWNED LMAO. :lol: :lol:

now who said eating didn't play a major role?

[COD4 PC demo won't run?]

Your video card does not meet the minimum requirements. Also you don't have two CPU's, you just have a dual core CPU.

 

 

 

We need to know what power supply you have. Either:

 

 

 

A. Tell us what brand/model your computer is

 

B. Open up the case and look at the power supply to see how many watts it is, and also its voltage and rails.

 

 

 

 

 

I would suggest A. You should also tell us your budget for a new video card, and keep in mind that if you have no knowledge of computer hardware you may want someone to install it for you. Depending on your PSU you may need to get a new one as well, usually prebuilt machines run with a 250-300W PSU max.

 

 

 

Brand: HP Pavilion, Windows Vista home premium service pack 1

 

 

 

Model: a6610t

 

32 bit operating system.

 

Intel Pentium® Dual CPU E220 @ 2.20 GHz

 

"ACPI x86 based PC"

 

220GB Hard Drive

 

2 GB RAM

 

 

 

I'll crack open the computer and look at it tomorrow, how many watts should I be hoping for on the PSU?

 

 

 

As for the price...my mom said whatever I want which basically means get one that is not expensive.

 

 

 

I'd say $90-$125? I'd also have to get the COD4 game to which is around $37.99 but my friend did say he can find a download for me :twisted: .

 

 

 

thanks for your help so far.

[COD4 PC demo won't run?]

I'm trying to run call of duty 4: Modern Warfare (PC version) on my computer

 

 

 

I run on windows vista.

 

 

 

I try to run the game and i get an error...

 

"Video card or driver doesn't support UBYTE4N vertex data" :(

 

 

 

 

 

Screenshot:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my video card:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is happening here?

 

 

 

I have heard that i need a video card, i heard i don't have a video card and that i have some integrated graphics card...

 

 

 

What kind of card should I get?

 

 

 

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/callo ... _info.html says

 

 

 

min. reqs. to run Call of Duty 4

 

System:

 

2.4 GHz Duo Core or faster or equivalent

 

RAM:

 

1024 MB

 

Hard Drive Space:

 

8000 MB

 

Other:

 

GeForce 7800 / Ati Radeon X1800 or better

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will my computer be able to run the game if the system has a:

 

 

 

Intel Pentium® Dual CPU E220 @ 2.20 GHz? (I have two of them)

 

 

 

What kind of card should I get? How much will it cost? I'm looking for a good price (of course) i won't really run any other games. So I might just get the minimum required. I'm not sure what one to get because I have no experience with these things. (are all windows video cards compatible with windows computers? because i don't want to buy, for example, an ATI Radeon X1800 card and find out it isn't compatible with my computer.

 

 

 

And, if anyone else has this game, how much would be a good deal for this game? :) I have seen $37.99 someplace.

 

 

 

Thanks for your help!

[Chinning Question]

i started chinning at 77 range and i am getting way more than 150k xp an hour with greys, void, 15% boost and ranger boots.

 

 

 

use greys for 95+ like jesus said.

 

 

 

i'm spending a boatload for 77-99 but i plan to earn it back at gwd.

[Chinning 82-96 range]

bedman's guide in the general guides section will help you.

 

 

 

use ring of life, it can save you (because that what it does).

 

 

 

at 81 ranged i got 162 xp a chin, i told you this already.

 

 

 

82 ranged might be a bit more.

 

 

 

so calculate from there. about 25 ppots a trip, 1 sup rest dose, 1 anti++ dose.

 

 

 

GL!

[Bank pic+99ranged goal]

dont need that many ppots..

 

yes, i know. I accidentally hit 1k+ instead of 100+ on the ge screen and hit enter... i managed to sell 500 at 8300 the next day, bought them at 8275 :D .

 

 

 

 

 

I have 40 days of membership left, i think i can do this.

 

 

 

just got 80 ranged today, very close to 81.

 

 

 

Looks at keys

 

 

 

I got so tired of them after using 1000. I just decided to buy as many as I can before everyone finds out about them; then i'll sell them.

 

what do they do?

 

sorry foukouei, they open coffins near gu'tanoth which can give you ourg bones/ raurg bones/ fayrg bones and other junk. these junks can easily pay for the keys and make you come out with a profit. Good for people with lendable items who need junk fast.

[Best place to use Red Chins?]

yes, ape atoll dungeon. i manage 152 xp per grey chinchompa at 77-79 range (that was my first trip)

 

 

 

see bedman's guide: Chinning at ape atoll: the advice of a pro. in the general guides section.

 

 

 

very detailed. pm me if you need help.

77-79 today in a chin trip, got 152 xp per grey chin. :thumbsup:

[A Guide to Chinning in Ape Atoll]

Ok so my first trip was AWESOME, THIS GUIDE IS GREAT!

 

 

 

I started with 1,565,000 xp in ranged, that is level 77.

 

 

 

I left with 1,815,623 xp in ranged, that is level 79 and 170,445 from 80!

 

 

 

2500 grey chins brought, 1644 used. estimated trip time: 90-110 minutes.

 

 

 

Prayer level: 70

 

Summoning level: 59

 

 

 

two terrorbird pouches used.

 

1 karamthulu overlord pouch used.

 

1 dose of summoning potion used.

 

23-26 prayer potions used

 

5 ranged potions used

 

1 house teleport used

 

 

 

 

 

setup: full void+fury+snakeboots+ROL+unholy book+grey chins.

 

 

 

~250,000 xp divided by 1644 chins used is ~152 xp per chin.

 

 

 

At times, I had up to 14-15 skeletons surrounding me. I didn't use the bone method, i just switched places and they automatically fell into a 3x3 square, many times they would be in a 2x3 rectangle but there would be around 9 skeletons in that 2x3 rectangle. I just bought 10k more chins, gonna use 'em tomorrow :twisted: .

[Agility Training 53-70]

If you do WGS those 400k XP can be great to add to Agility if you got nothing else to train. Although you still need to train to 65. From 53-65 I recommend using Wilderness course on a pvp world with food+DDS, using Penguins once a week also helps.

 

not bad, but i am not about to do all the quests -.- . i have 176 qp atm.

 

 

 

how often will I fail with agility pots (or tbird spec) with 53 agility at wildy course?

[Agility Training 53-70]

I'm going for 99 ranged atm, chinning from 77 ranged (ROFL).

 

 

 

78 defense seems like enough for sara gwd.

 

 

 

But i'm only 53 agility :roll: and agility training has ALWAYS been a drag to me.

 

 

 

Where should i train for 70?

there could be a couple hundred. most of which are sitting in banks.

LOL, i was so focused on grouping the monkeys that i heard the prayer drain sound and almost cabbaged myself. luckily i tele'd out. i lost 30 hp in like 2 seconds.

 

 

 

750 chins brought (normal), 610 left at the end of my first run.

 

 

 

started 120k from 78, finished around 108k

 

 

 

~85-90k/h xp. but i couldn't get the monkeys into a 3x3 square. most of the time i was attacking 6-8 monkeys.

 

 

 

 

 

should i keep chinning or do iron knives for now?

I wished I got this on video, this chat...

 

 

 

Lol my idiot friend who had like 3M but didn't understand how rares work gave me the biggest laugh of my life today.

 

 

 

He wanted to buy rare, but was a few million short of the cheapest one, so he hatched a little plot. He spent all 3M on chef's hats. He told me in a PM: "Well they have to start to die out eventually, and then I'll be rich!."

 

 

 

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

 

 

 

 

haha if chef's hats became rare, then goblins would drop a rare item and be camped by masses of people :
