I heard Jagex were looking at consoles, but after some research and some development of my own , I don;t see it happening with Runescape.
The control mechanism will not work with the functionality of the XBOX360. Jagex would have to move Runescape to a WSAD movement and a target/select system before this would work. Why? Runescape is a clicking game. To move, attack, equip items, etc, you have to click on an item. Moving the joystick of the XBOX360 controller to do all of this would get annoying, and it wouldn't be feasible with PVP or boss hunting. Doing this with the XBOX360 controller would end up triggering the bot detection system as well.
It would be the same way for the Wii and the PS3.
Maybe Jagex will find a way to get their current system to work with the consoles, but as of now I don't think it will work.

Leviticus 20:13
'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.' (NIV)
'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.' (NASB)
'If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.' (KJV)
'If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.' (ESV)
'If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.' (NKJV)
''If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.' (TNIV)
Being gay does not mean you have sex with other men/women as most of those translations refer to.
There is also a bible verse which says something about how tattoos are a sin to have, but this was a law of man, not God. Many people believe this is a similar case.
Also, the bible refers to "man" as everyone at many points.
And the last thing is that Lev. is part of the old testament. In the new testament, a bunch of laws in the old testament are abandoned..

I am trying to find a job nearby which is technology related. I live in rural Kentucky so there is a ton of farms and caves. Four more years and I will have my BS in Computer Science. After I achieve that I will have a chance at a better job. I applied for a position at Jagex today. I also am working on my resumes to send to Microsoft, Blizzard, and a data center near Chicago.
I hope one of them calls me back.

Glasses which help me see. Now if only I had the awareness to make use of them...
You can start fires using the lenses :ugeek:
One of the greatest inventions is the use and generation of electricity. Electricity keeps our food usable for extended periods of time, it prolongs life, it provides entertainment, etc. Think of all of the items you use daily and what would you do if there was no electricity.

EDIT: Also, I don't see the issue with private industries and discrimination against homosexuality. The fact is, heterosexuality is part of a life-style in our society, every bit as much as the Amish technology-free life-style is.
Wasn't discriminating African Americans and Women part of life-style a while back? That has since changed. Now there are powerful figures such as Barrack Obama and Oprah.
The point I am making is this is a phase in American culture. People will have to take in the change of society and evolve pass their current mindset and accept the fact that there are homosexual couples out there in the world. Homosexuality are not going to dissipate simply because someone thinks it is wrong.
There are homosexuals on these boards. I am friends with several of them and they some of the coolest and amazing people I know.

Tbh 2 guys could get married because they both have good jobs and can stand each other doesnt mean they have to have *** with each other.
Do you know what happens on Marriage night, after the reception, little boy?
I thought of that part after I posted.
No matter who it is, there is no valid reason to be homophobic. Nothing different about them, other than their sexual preference.
And yes Saruman, you are right. It is a lot like xenophobia and racism.
Yes, you have free will, which means you are free to do something seen as wrong.
I personally see homosexuality as something that's against the laws of nature and therefore wrong. It doesn't make me hate gay people, it doesn't make me scared of them, it doesn't make me think they should be maligned by society, but I still don't believe what they do is right.
I think a similar way to you. I prefer there be no homosexuality like I would prefer there be no crippled or mentally ill people (by genes) just like I would prefer people don't waste so much energy on games or eat very little Argentine food (by choice).
But, they're here. So whether by personal choice or being born with it, we have to accept this little difference. Knowing which differences are acceptable and which are not makes one be open-minded. Not accept all differences or reject them all. It depends on the severity and the impact of the differences and homosexuality is such a small difference it shouldn't be rejected.
What you prefer is a similar story. You can prefer whatever you want, but knowing which differences are worthy to change is the more important value here.
Are you trolling? I mean what the heck? What if the numbers were reversed? How would you like it if I said straight ppl are ok. I mean I ugess I have to accept that. Its incredinly naive, for one who claims such intelligence.

For your first statement about marriage night, not everyone has sex or anything after marriage.
For your statement about mentally ill and crippled people, there is something obviously wrong with them. A homosexual man doesn't have one arm, or a homosexual female doesn't have a disease which forces her to get angry or swear uncontrollably.
I always thought why gays can't keep their mouth shut and nobody will know they are gay. Sexual orientation is not that important outside dating.
Why should people have to hide who they are?
But it really isn't that important, and I'd say the same for straight people. Whether you like the same or the opposite sex has nothing to do with who you actually are as far as accomplishments go.
I wouldn't say that people should hide their sexuality, nor would I say that people should advertise it.
I'd think the religious side should avoid condemning them though. Seriously, you probably shouldn't speak for God, that's His job. And I can hope that He'd be pissed that they're putting words in His mouth... :twisted:
Hopefully that pissed off both sides of this :grin:
Isn't there a tenet within most religions which states they should treat everyone fairly or not condemn people for his or her beliefs and opinions?

I have a homosexual uncle whom is the most successful person I have personally known. He has a PhD in computer science, owns a large house, has a reputable job, and is a good person. Just because someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you, --whether it be religion, politics, and sexuality-- it doesn't make them any less of a person then anyone else. They should have equal rights as anyone else.
So Apple sends out a 2nd police raid this year

I saw that too :blink:
I see reason for the second raid, and a little for the first. If Apple had just released the IPhone 3 and was working on the iPhone 4 while the plans were leaked, Apple could've lost some income from the IPhone 3. As for the second, the guy hacked some email addresses from AT&T. I see why they would raid that guy.
