Haven't played in a while, tried to a couple of weeks ago and it said my password had expired or something and wanted me to change it, however when I tried it just kept giving me lots of errors =/ Haven't tried since.

Wear the Insignia thing so you can get the Scourgestones which add great rep, worth grinding it now so you can get the title easily once you hit 80. Plus kill the Baron for the chance of the mount. Guild is 7/12 in ICC10 now :) which is awesome. Hoping next week to down Putricide hopefully and *maybe* sindragosa. We haven't even started on the Crimson Halls yet so I guess we have an easy kill on the princes?

Depends on the System/Input/TV/Game Most "modern" TVs support 60Hz and thus there should be no problem connecting your 360/PS3 or whatever to them, especially via HDMI etc. However for older consoles there could be a problem (even PS2s). I know quite a lot of PAL PS2 games only support 50Hz and I imagine all NTSC ones only support 60Hz. Actually, that shouldn't be a problem going from America to Europe, but the other way around I imagine it would be. Older TVs that don't do 60Hz won't work at all. For power, I'm not exactly sure. The standard socket changes *should* work but to be honest I wouldn't want to risk it. Not sure if just getting a different cable would work as I'm not sure of the difference in the power supplies themselves (I guess if all the power stuff is external there'd be no harm in that) but for example I'm fairly surely just getting a different cable for a PC Power Supply would not end well.

Must be nice being in a decent 25 man guild, although I prefer 10 man raiding. Last night we were meant to go 25 man ICC (We've cleared the first 3 bosses in it) but not enough people came so some ran an ICC10 group where they got stuck on Saurfang. I had to join for that fight on my mage where I had to take a bloodbeast by myself which was easy enough. Finished top DPS so must have made a big difference =P. Then did the Rotting frost giant for the weekly quest getting me another 5 frost emblems. They had failed it earlier before and just gave up, tried it once with "my" tactics and we one shot it =P So I guess everyone there owes me 7 emblems? Heh

Brother's in Arms: Hell's highway was fairly good, I enjoyed it anyway. Beat it in two sittings, I rarely sit down so long on the same game. Kept me entertained. Worth a rent if nothing else, never played it online but think it's dead anyway. Easy 750 or so points too =P

We use EPGP for 25 man raids. The 10 man raid isn't an "official" guild raid, although an officer from the guild does run it. Too much effort for no real advantage it using a loot system other than rolls for this. We do pass on loot etc. if others need it, so it's not unfair either. Just annoying not winning any roles. On the upside, as we have no plate DPS I'm getting a lot of DPS + Healing OS items :P

My guild's 10 man ICC runs are going awesome now. This week we downed the first 4 bosses with no wipes (although we have done that the past couple of weeks too) including the weekly raid for deathwhisper, which is awesome :). One shot Festergut, nice and easy. Took us 4 attempts, possibly 5 to down rotface for the first time :D. We'd done about 5 wipes before but never really even started the fight. On our first attempt this time we got him down to 38%, had a wipe at 9%, one at like 60% then we downed him. Could have been another try in there but can't remember. We then moved on to Dreamwalker, had a couple of attempts there but then the trash started spawned and it was getting late anyway so we head back to Putricide for one attempt there just so we can see the fight. We ended up pulling all the trash prior to the stairs there in one pull (luckily not all at the exact same time, but all of it was done without being out of combat). Then we had an attempt at Putricide, mainly to see the fight more than anything. Got him to 81% before everyone but me (OT) wiped. I then got him down to 80% so he did his phase transition, then when my "vehicle" died I bubbled and thus kited him around a little more getting him to 79% all by myself, was awesome staying alive a minute or two longer than everyone else before eventually dying :D. We're going to try and keep roughly the same group every week for it as it's awesome. Me and the main tank work very well together, very little communication is needed between us and we both seem to know what to do and when to make sure everyone stays alive and everything goes as smoothly as possible. We do still talk on vent occasionally, but most of the time we're already doing what the other one is saying as they say it :P. Annoying thing is, I've yet to win any MS rolls against this tank, must be about 4-5 roles so far, none of which I've won. Oh well, at least if those items drop again I'll be guaranteed to get them :P Still running around in mainly 232 gear. Although 50k raid buffed now thanks to the 5% buff in ICC :) Although that made no difference to our kills today and we'd have done just as well without it, but no point in switching it off. We're going back Monday evening where we can hopefully get Dreamwalker down (well, up actually) and have a couple of attempts on Putricide, although I don't think our DPS is quite up to that yet. Hopefully we can have 10/12 before the end of the month and then full 12/12 by the end of next month, would be awesome. :D

Can anyone recommend some PSP games? Got one last week and looking for some more games. Older/cheaper ones would be nice. Have: God Of War Daxter Ratchet & Clank Half Minute Hero Cheers

Now does EVERYONE have to spend 2k points on Strykewyrms are only those without a firecape?

It sounds like EVERYONE has to buy the ability to buy ice strykewyrms, it sounds like it. Annoyed if so =/

Really surprised they haven't just delayed it until tomorrow morning,so I'm guessing there's a reason they want it out today. Not entirely sure what that is though. Guess we'll see when it comes out.

How so? They still have over 2 hours in normal office hours (until 5pm).

I don't know what my reaction to this is.

That looks awesome, you should send pictures to Jagex for their mail thing (I can't remember if they still do that :P)

Not a bad morning... Back to back tasks, have Ice StrykeWyrms now... so here's hoping.

Yes

One thing I'm loving about this game at the moment are close fights. Twin Val'kyr the other week, wiped on 0.1% after half the raid was dead and I had to end up solo tanking it. Close, but was really fun. Festergut last week, 40k wipe after he enraged and I bubbled, close but needed moar dots. Lord Jaraxxus in ToC10 normal this week on a pug. OT died as did the 2nd healer + 3 DPS. Ended up tanking Jaraxxus + all adds and we managed to down him, awesome. I don't mind the wiping, it's just the "thrill" of doing something like that, coming so close and the suspense as on vent everyone is shouting "COME ON!". Completely obliterating encounters is not fun and I'm having a lot more fun "struggling" in ICC10 on rotface then I ever had easily clearing ToC10/25 week in and week out.

Just saw this on YouTube... it's awesome :thumbsup:. Although perhaps it being 5:30 in the morning has something to do with it being fairly confused for me... nah...

I don't them crashing drastically, if anything they will slowly continue rising afterwards as people will use their new skills and want to level it that *little* bit extra to get to the nearest big milestone, or even up to the next level.

I probably won't even take advantage of this at all, as I'm working that weekend. So basically I'll have to suffer not being able to buy anything for the next two weeks + higher prices of things for no benefit. Awesome. I wouldn't mind if this didn't effect me in a negative way. I don't complain about updates much but this just seems pointless to me (and the time I'll spend playing that weekend probably won't be on anything like herblore, probably be spent on slayer on slayer or something, which is what I'd be doing normally).
