Elessar3019 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The birds of RuneScape have been perched, sick as a parrot and grebe with envy over these graphical updates that have been higher in the pecking order. Well, now it's their tern; after all, "toucan play at that game". That's right, those with eyes of a hawk will notice an upgrade to the plumage of our fowl friends. From the ducks and gulls to the more vicious terrorbirds and jubblies, there is plenty to gobble up. So, swallow your pride and flock into game swiftly if you want a goosey gander at our eggs-ellent new bird update - there is certainly plenty to go cuckoo over. The bird references in yesterday's update announcement (see above) have been bolded. There are 23 of them.That wouldn't be so bad if they weren't all crammed into one little article, making every other word ring of "bird". I'm not saying drop them altogether, just make them a little less uncommon, don't mash them into players' faces. What do you guys think? Are the puns a little over-the-top? Not enough? Let us know! perfect grammar is one thing, typing like a drugged monkey and enjoying it is anotherAMEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulthresher Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Jagex has a wicked sense of humor (spelling is off today). Personally, I love the dark humor they have and alot of the jokes are pretty good. Considering all of them, or atleast most, are G-rated, they have done a good job. The puns, a little much but thats Jagex for ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeWelshGuy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I really like them, although some of them are very cheesy :P Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Makes the game more interesting if the developers have a silly (and sometimes strange, but in a good way) side. : I'd rather shudder at a dodgy joke than be bored to death by Jagex trying to hard to keep all the dialogue serious.

We changed the graphics on the birds of runescape today. They look more realistic. That would be lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umega Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I find them cheesy, but funny anyway. Better than a boring Jagex. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget when they updated the gen. store map symbol, and wrote in the news: Please try and contain your excitement.

dberg20 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Don't forget about the July BTS. Some people might say that the graphical improvements planned this month are a bit quackers, especially when its ducks, birds and terrorbirds that receive the make-over tweetment. Be sure to pop down and coo at their shiny new plumage later this month. Guide to Making a Foolproof RuneScape Password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikerkid Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 That's pretty clever to make that many of birds. Gets annoying after a while though :P Quit RuneScape :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleasher10 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I like the puns. After all, Jagex mods brood for a while to bring up all these lovely puns for us, we shouldn't ruffle our feathers and get all warm-blooded and emu over a few... I'll spare you. Personally I think it adds a bit of humour to the site and cheers it up a bit, and I see no reason why anybody would be irritated by it. http://www.google.com/trends?q=runescap ... f+warcraftWe win.

ben331 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 We Brits pride ourselves on our sense of humour (yes, it is spelt HUMOUR, NOT HUMOR! WHO INVENTED THE LANGUAGE HUH? WE DID! SO SPELL IT OUR WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ohnoes: thank you) I like the way Jagex is using humour. So long as they don't use a joke machine next...
