Whta colour did you use? I've been looking for a colour that matches the questcapes but the closest thing to white is soda ash and I don't like it. <_< The colour that matches Quest Capes is called consecrated grey. There's also kyatt grey, which is lighter toned, but consecrated grey fits it best imo. And also, GG with the Spartan outfit lol. I bet you can also do Leonidas' wife's costume with these new clothes, see there's the wolf fur bottom robes for it already.

This month surely is a month full of surprises. New Treasure Trails items, a pretty good Void Knight quest, and now a new minigame along with a wide new set of clothes. Since everyone was getting these new clothes, I decided to try them out myself as soon as I finished my Black Dragon task - a task during which I got myself level 87 Ranged, actually. Here's the screenshot below, just twelve more levels to go. :^_^: So about the clothes, they were a hard choice. Had to find myself a set that could fit both my Quest Cape and my Black D'hide set whenever I needed to use it. Male clothes wouldn't do the job, so I turned my character female just to get myself one of these awesome outfits. Not the first time I change the character's gender, at first it feels like you're playing someone else's character but then you get used to it. Guess I'll have fun with my new outfit for a while, then get bored of it and revert back to the way it was before, I'm too used to my character the way it is generally. Now about the new minigame, I didn't have much time to try it out but I can tell one thing - it's already much better than Mobilizing Armies. You get quite a lot of points from it, making Void Knight gear much easier to get. It's a distant variant of chess, and also very distant from being as good as the latter, but still an enjoyable minigame. I played two rounds against a more experienced player and lost both, then won a match against another player who was just as new to the minigame as I was. There is much less strategy involved than in chess, and the units are still unbalanced as they are right now - Champions being overpowered for their price, for instance. On a side note, you may also notice that scouts have the same pose as Nomad. :P I wanted to get myself that new shield, but I didn't have the time for more matches so I just dropped it there. I will try again tomorrow, if any of you would like to join me at it I'd gladly challenge you. This latest update nicely adds up to a good amount of updates we've been getting this month already, but will it be the cherry on top of the cake? I don't think so, as the sequel for While Guthix Sleeps should be coming out soon: it was said it would come out this year. This all sounds very promissing. May Zaros be with you!

Here's mine:

Made my char female just for making myself a cool looking outfit for the quest cape, one that fits my d'hide body at the same time (for the arms) :P The female clothes look quite nicer, imo.

Anyone else noticed scouts have the same pose as Nomad, they even wield their weapon in the same way :o Playing this game with the soundtrack Battle of Souls is fun :D

What are you talking about? :P The new samurai and the punk haircuts. Ugly.

Bleh the new haircuts are fail, seriously...

Anyone else find the fact your char keeps spinning when you try to add clothes really frustrating? Also, how good are the new haircuts?

Epic stuff, gonna check it out myself now :P

This sounds great, gonna try this out as soon as I finish my current Slayer task. Anyone wanna join me at the minigame for a match? I'll be reviewin this on my blog later.

Yeah, Youtube for sure, and Tip It when I'm active on Runescape. What's your verdict on lemonpie? Ew

We didn't even get to land on another planet yet (aka Mars), and we're already thinking of colonising an exo-planet 127 lightyears away from us? :mellow:

Think those robes are worth the price?

When you go outside, what do you see? Almost perfectly equal humans, all of the same size, colour, intellect, gender, goals in life, attactions, etc, or people who differ in all the aspects I just mentioned? I guess we can agree the second choice here is the right one. We're all different. We're not even equally different. And it's thanks to that that everyone has the chance to do something unique in his life. From what I understand, most people like to believe we're all equal because it's nice to give everyone the same chances in life. But accepting the differences doesn't mean you can't help others. It's not impossible to be fair with everyone while knowing we're all different, you can give everyone the same chances if you balance them accordingly to the differences (don't get me wrong though, I didn't say I liked this idea, I'm no communist either). But well I guess I'm starting to get too close to politics here, so I'll drop it there.

You do some pretty good fan art pictures, really :) Definitely wanna check the next ones as soon as they're out ^^

It was time for the next Void quest. No big expectations for this quest, given how the previous ones were deceivingly easy, but I got a good surprise this time. So I started out after finishing my Aberrant Spectre task. Commodore Tyr announces me a mission that is nothing more than the immediate sequel of the previous quest. In Quite Before The Swarm, I found out how come the pest was set free, and now I'm asked to go look for it. So the first task I'm assigned to do is to begin tracking the pest from the very beginning of its trail, at Port Sarim. Captain Korasi and Jessika, the one who set the pest free, would follow me as well. After asking the locals what they knew about it, I was led to the trail and eventually followed it to a hole next to the Inn. Nothing special so far, just some Hunter skills put to practice. After investigating the Inn, I gained access to the cellar, followed by Korasi and Jessika. After exploring it, I found out that one of the walls had some strange goo coming out of it. Jessika asked me to bring a barrel from the room ahead, which turned out to be a puzzle. A good one, I must say, but not as difficult as the one in Elemental Workshop III. I got stuck twice before I figured out the path I needed to open for the empty barrel to pass through. I also figured out that I could take most barrels entirely out of the way, not having to bother with them anymore. It was an enjoyable puzzle, overall. :) So after Jessika got the barrel with green goo, we were ready to go on with the hunt. I took the boat to Musa Point and did pretty much the same thing I had done back at Port Sarim, this time finding a hole with some weird wood inside, called waxwood. Shortly after, I went to Rimmigton in order to find out where this wood came from - the local craftsman apparently knew. He had used that kind of wood to craft some crates for some guy in Falador. After talking to him I met the two others at the chemist nearby, where they were going to analyse the green goo. I had to operate the chemist's machines to get the analyse done. The same kind of machinery as in Regicide, but even harder to handle this time. It took me quite a few tries until I finally understood how to operate it correctly, but it was pretty fun to do. Next, I headed to Falador to investigate the crates issue. I quickly found out the merchant who ordered them and who was selling them, some Ali from Al Kharid. He didn't tell the truth right away, I had to buy one of his crates and see what it really contained. The crate had a puzzle lock, that none of us managed to solve, so Korasi just broke it. It was full of green goo, proving that Ali was indeed involved in this, so I got a permission from Sir Amik to check his crates and he finally admitted what he was up to. Someone had set him up to do the job, and had given him a clue scroll. He handed over the scroll, which I followed right away. It was the first time I did a clue scroll by myself, as I don't use help for quests and this one was part of it. It was an easy scroll though, nothing compared to the real clue scrolls. I was then close to the end. The scroll led me to a trapdoor, which led to where all the crates came from. Once inside, I had to get through the rooms, first by doing an imposture with some help from Korasi and Jessika, and then by crafting a tool to reach the key that opened the next door. Finally, I got to the room where the pest was being kept, but it was guarded by two Elite Black Knights. I wasn't prepared for a fight when I got there, and on top of that they drained my Prayer to get themselves more health, so I was forced to retreat. But then I just came back with some mage gear and took care of the guard I had to fight. It was a little bit like fighting one of the Barrows Brothers, they drain your Prayer and have low Magic defence. I then had the choice between killing the pest or setting it free. It could actually talk to me, thanks to my Summoning level (which I still need to train, now that I mention it). I've chosen to kill it, as it could otherwise help its Queen prepare an attack on Gielinor. I really enjoyed this quest all the way, it's been the best quest Jagex has released ever since Temple At Sentisteen (unless Nomad's Requiem actually came after that one). Even if it's not a Master Quest, it's still far superior to Love Story. Guess I'll get back to Slayer until the next quest is out, now. ;) May Zaros be with you!

Nope, but played similar games ;)

Back to Runescape, and back to blogging. Unfortunately I come a little bit late for a review on the Treasure Trails update, but I'll still talk about it later in this blog post. So here I am after my three weeks long vacation. Runescape seems to have quite some good surprises for me as I return: double experience weekend, new Void Knights quest, new Treasure Trails items (woot, Zaros stuff), and what not? It was a pleasure getting back to the game. Only bad thing was I had computer problems yesterday, so I only began playing today, but that's not much of a problem anyway. First thing I did was to check my Miscellania ressources. I always leave all my money there whenever I go inactive for a long time, in order to collect a lot of ressources when I'm back. Thanks to the double experience weekend, I'll make quite a lot of profit from it this time, so it was really worth it. And guess what, I even got two Raven eggs at once, along with one of each Saradomin and Zamorak eggs! Those will make a nice addition to my pet collection in my house. Got seven of them at the moment. Talking about player owned houses, I may be organising a little house party event here on Tip It, you can get to see them if I do organise it. Anyway, after that I just left a Raven egg in the encubator and tried doing Tears of Guthix meanwhile. But unfortunately it wasn't working for me, as Juna would only let me in after I got some experience or a quest point. So I began cooking the Tuna I got from Miscellania and got myself my fourth 80+ skill: Now about the new Treasure Trails items... I must say they're pretty awesome, I've been waiting a long time for these. And as the three other Gods are getting more and more integrated into the game overtime, it would be unfair to not give them their own armour sets and books as well. Besides, Zaros is totally awesome. :P The most important items here, in my opinion, are the three new books. Zaros, Armadyl and Bandos prayer books give Magic, Ranged and Bandos bonusses respectively, while still giving better Defence bonusses than a Book of Balance. Although a Zamorak Book still has better offensive stats than the three newer books, their Defence bonusses surely make up for it when it comes down to daily use. I didn't try them out yet, but I'm guessing the Zaros Book may be great for Barrowing, while the Armadyl book may be great at the Thzaar Fight Caves. I didn't buy either yet, as I put almost all my money in Miscellania and still didn't sell the stuff, but I definitely will later on. Well, thats pretty much all for today. I'll do the new Void Knight quest tomorrow, and I'll be blog posting about it. I'll also be adding some more stuff to the blog; as you can see, I already added some content blocks since last time, but I still got some work to do in order to be happy with it. ;) May Zaros be with you!

Tried running the computer with the 500MB ram only, didn't solve it (used to run fine with it alone before, except while I played games). Also, the computer ran fine with both of the chips for over a month actually, possibly even two. I'm pretty sure I have no viruses either. The computer just runs fine for over half an hour and then lags to death. I used to get the same kind of lag before when I had the 500MB Ram chip only, but it was after 10 hours of playing heavy games, the computer would just slow down progressively until the game lagged too much for me to continue playing. Now it's doing the same thing, except it only takes 40 minutes now and I don't even need to run games.

People don't talk about it because it's good, they talk about it because it's easy to attack. Easy to attack =/= good. The second one is good.. it just has little to no discussion value because of how everyone agrees with it.

I'm more attracted to blondes than I am to brunettes, just my personal preference.

Latest version of The Gimp. And it's not really the program, it's the shape, really.

Didn't really like the first one. The three paragraphs explaining what the three different books are about were unecessarily long, boring to read. As for the whole point of the thing, well yeah each book is designed for a different kind of player, however you need to realize the standard one is far more developped and updated than the two others, making it far more useful. It's true that from a certain point of view, you'd only use those two other books when you feel like casting different spells for the fun of it, or when you need to do a specific task, not for daily use. They're there for secondary tasks, and therefore can be considered secondary books. Second one, I agree with it. It's true that just because you don't use a training spot anymore, doesn't mean it's pointless. Many other people still use it. When I go for strolls with friends I do like passing by just for the lulz.

Um... how are they not facing to the left? I worked on it, only the Defence one isn't really good because it was harder to shape. I think you should compare the logos on the capes to the actual logos alone.
