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:

 

 

 

They share them. ;)

Oh man this article is so true....I only play rs when ever I can if im not busy...and I'm huge!!!!(Epic Sarcasm). You can play rs and be a high level while still maintaining a healthy life style..IMO this is a sad parent looking for a way to cover up the fact that she didn't take good care of her kids. So......EPIC FAIL :wall:

post 181 idk what that means but what ever. who ever this blogger parent person is, is probably the most patheticic analist ever on runescape. its a game clearly this person failed to reckognise that. the food concept is like a person in runescape saying omg low stats pot up and comparing that to steriods. *poor spelling get over it*

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I'm legally underweight

 

 

 

I've played 4-5 years

 

 

 

Fail

With this "parent's" logic, besides getting fat, I might also take a Chef's Hat and a Meat Tenderiser about as big as I am (5' 10") and start killing Cows, Chickens, small rats, Giant Rats, and evil spirits with it. I must be stopped!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, either this idiot does not have kids, they are extremely self-conscious of their Runescape playing and weight, and/or they are horrid parents.

 

Or, it could be simply a joke... Which it is.

Blog disclaimers are what bloggers hide behind when there is too much backlash to what they wrote. I know people who basically spend all their spare time blogging. I can almost guarantee that this person meant everything that was written. You have to realize that bloggers are neither reasonable nor responsible. It's not like they're newspaper reporters. The only person they have to answer to is themselves and the first thing they do when people complain is point to their disclaimer in an attempt to absolve themselves of any responsibility for what they wrote.

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.

 

 

 

Ok what? In 4 years of playing, I NEVER tought of eating more because my character could eat 1000 sharks without going to the toilet. That parent searched ALLOT to think that saying a character eat loads of food could make their children eat more.

i weigh the exact same as i did 5 years ago.

 

 

 

lmfao.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. If anyone writes something they truely believe in, and wants it to be read by others, he'd want them to believe in what he says. Even "irresponsible" bloggers. When a disclaimer such as the one at the top of the article is the first thing you read before reading what they wrote, they cannot, in any way, be taken seriously, EVEN if they did mean everything they wrote. For this reason, I more than doubt this blogger meant what he/she wrote.

 

 

 

 

 

For instance, here's what the disclaimer said (even though I already posted this earlier). I let myself underline anything that hints that it's a mere joke:

Next she'll be writing a blog about how blogging makes people fat. Seriously.

 

 

 

She touches on addiction, but that's about the only thing in her article that comes remotely CLOSE to Runescape in any shape form or size. But I guess it can't be helped, I mean, her sources were encyclopedia dramatica after all.

This article infuriates me, mainly because it projects the viewpoints of countless adults blind to what really goes on in an online game. Sure, all you do is point and click, but to many, it's rewarding...why else would they spend time playing a game if not for the fun?

 

 

 

To state that these games are evil, is a complete misunderstanding of the game and to say that all children will end up fat and will eat so that they can get healed faster (WTF?!?!!?...that is for certain one of the STUPIDEST things I have ever heard, and a pathetic attempt for parents to try to limit their child's fun.) Who eats more in real life and thinks that it will make them heal faster?!? Has anyone actually documented this happening? I am beginning to think that the writer of this article, however intelligent they may think they are, their argument against MMORPGs is deeply flawed. As an avid player of RuneScape, I do have a particular bias towards my love of the game, although I try to have an objective point of view when I listen to people talk about the "dangers" of online gaming, but it seems like the people who make these ridiculous rants are just bitter and jealous adults who see their kids having fun.

 

 

 

Also, a small sidenote to all those who claim that "no one should play _____ game online because child predators play that game", child predators are everywhere, there really isn't anything you can do about them... claiming that someone should not play a game because there might be a possibility that there are child predators who play the game is just like saying, don't walk outside, because there are cars on the road and you might get hit. Go ahead and say you won't get hit, people get hit on sidewalks and streets all the time, and unlike any of the points the author made, this one actually has a lot of documented evidence backing it up, so none of the ludicrous arguments that this author made hold any weight...

Yea, i agree its probably a joke.

 

 

 

Seriously, no one is that stupid.

Oh my god, it was a joke! You really should look at other comments.

Finaly someone agrees with me...

It sure as hell hasn't made me fat :D

Oh my god, it was a joke! You really should look at other comments.

 

 

 

I looked at the other comments. What a great joke.

I agree that it's not very funny. But it still was a joke.

Ah, blogging, the wonderful world of blogs. I knew it was a joke right when I saw two words, well, make it four, "The wonderful Encyclopedia Dramatica", the article shouldn't be taken seriously unless you want to sound like a jerk lmao. People write random bs all the time, due to boredom/revenge/hate etc... I infact found another blog about RuneScape, here goes:

 

 

 

[hide=]Okay let me explain how Runescape ruins your life.

 

 

 

So you're strolling down the sidewalk skipping and loving life. You're singing twinkle twinkle little star while you're skipping, and everyone's looking at you like you're a [bleep]g0t. Say you're 12 at the time, which is a little more scary seeing as you're almost a teen and you're doing this.

 

 

 

So you hear from a friend of a cool new game called Runescape! You say hey! It doesn't need to be downloaded!? That's soooo cool!!! You skip inside and you keep singing (You gotta stop doing that) and you go online and go to Runescape. You think "Hmm..this is a cool game!" You continue to get more and more addicted.

 

 

 

We'll fast forward about 5-6 months. You've done everything in the free worlds and you're totally bored. You're now pondering why you play. Everything seems to repetitive but you're entertained anyway! So what's the point in playing? I'll tell you the point skiparoo, you're addicted and now you're obsessed with being the best. You're now playing the game 4, 5, 6 hours a day, it's gotten to be a big part of your life. You're now level 75, you're so proud of yourself, you get to call llots of people noob because you're higher leveled than they are.

 

 

 

You then think to yourself "Hey, there's a members world! I can totally pwn that!" Then you laugh in a high pitched voice and your mom throws a stapler at your head and tells you to stop laughing like a *bleep*. You listen.

 

 

 

You then beg your mom "Please mom! I wanna pwn in the members world!" After a few minutes of contemplating on what the word pwn means, she agrees to pay, but just for a few months in case you don't like it.

 

 

 

You're so excited! You're in a members world..but what's this..you're a level 75 and you're surrounded by level 100 + guys! Oh no, this isn't good. You're not one of the best in the pack anymore. You need to level up, you need to be the best.

 

 

 

At this point you're now spending about 8 hours a day on Runescape. You have it set in your mind that you gotta do all the quests, you gotta level up all your stats, you gotta be number 1! You keep training, you're level 90 now! Dude, you're almost there! You gained 75 pounds in the past 3 months but you're almost there!

 

 

 

Congratz, you've reached level 100! But..your birthday's tomorrow! You quickly think of a list to see what you want for your birthday, but the only thing that's going through your mind right now is..Runescape..Runescape...Runescape. You start to foam at the mouth. You make a mental note to see someone about that. You write down your birthday list "Runescape membership for 2 years" and give it to your mom. She says "...Is this it?" You're like "Yup." She's like..okay, only $120, not too bad. That's the subtle way you thought of to continue your addiction without your parents being too concerned.

 

 

 

You now have 2 more years of Runescape membership, you're happy, the membership was gonna expire tomorrow.

 

 

 

At this point you're level 100, and you've been playing for 3 years now. You're 15, you've missed your freshman prom. You've been faking injuries and sicknesses just to stay home from school to get some extra time on Runescape. You keep trying to complete quests, but by the time you complete one, two more are created. Now you spend even more time on Runescape. You're pulling all nighters, just to catch up with the quests.

 

 

 

Now you're level 105! You're so happy that you've raised 5 combat levels in such a short amount of time. You're close to the top spot. But at this point you're now grossly overweight.

 

 

 

It's your 18th birthday, and once again you ask for Runescape membership, nothing else. You don't have your license, you're still a virgin, you've had minimal contact with the outside world for the last 4 years. You still have over 40 quests to do..but you're level 120!! You're almost the best in the game!!

 

 

 

3 years later, it's your 21st birthday. By this time you've lost contact with all your friends, but you don't care. All that matters is Runescape. You ask for more memberships, and by this time your mom confronts you and knows you're addicted, and stops paying for your memberships. You're MAD. You came so close to getting to the final level, and your mom just cuts off your funds. On your 21st birthday! You resort to drastic measures to getting this money. You think, all I need is $5 a month. But you don't get a job, that requires going outside, and you don't want that. Instead what you do is you steal from your mom's purse. Your mom thinks you're off Runescape now! It'll be perfect! It's only $5 a month out of her purse, I'm sure she won't mind.

 

 

 

So you continue your membership, you're now level 125. You're 24 years old, you've been playing Runescape for 12 years. You've probably spent over 1,000 hours (Definetely more) playing. You have no friends, you're incredibly overweight, you've lost your connection with your parents, you're pale white because you haven't been outside in months, you've flunked school and gotten yourself expelled. But it's okay, as long as you have Runescape.

 

 

 

You're one level away from level 126 (the highest level you can reach in Runescape), and you finally make it! You're cheering, you're celebrating, you're on top of the world. Despite your real life being ruined, you're so happy that you've finally reached this "turning point" in your life. You then look at the stats board, expecting to see your name in first place. It turns out you're 53rd place, and 52 others have been level 126 before you, and have kept training. It turns out it all comes down to experience points.

 

 

 

Your world is turned upside down. This is the most upsetting thing that's happened in your life, and for the first time, you shut down Runescape out of your own will. You sit and re-examine your life. You've seen you've *bleep*ed it up. You just now realize you're fat. You've lost your parents, your friends, your education, and your future. All because of this game, Runescape. Runescape has ruined your life. You go on a homicidal spree and kill yourself.

 

 

 

And that's how Runescape ruins your life.

 

 

 

It's not completely serious, but some of it is true, just me being really bored.[/hide]

You have no friends, you're incredibly overweight, you've lost your connection with your parents, you're pale white because you haven't been outside in months, you've flunked school and gotten yourself expelled. But it's okay, as long as you have Runescape.

 

 

 

You're one level away from level 126 (the highest level you can reach in Runescape), and you finally make it! You're cheering, you're celebrating, you're on top of the world. Despite your real life being ruined, you're so happy that you've finally reached this "turning point" in your life. You then look at the stats board, expecting to see your name in first place. It turns out you're 53rd place, and 52 others have been level 126 before you, and have kept training. It turns out it all comes down to experience points.

 

 

 

Your world is turned upside down. This is the most upsetting thing that's happened in your life, and for the first time, you shut down Runescape out of your own will. You sit and re-examine your life. You've seen you've *bleep*ed it up. You just now realize you're fat. You've lost your parents, your friends, your education, and your future. All because of this game, Runescape. Runescape has ruined your life. You go on a homicidal spree and kill yourself.

 

 

 

And that's how Runescape ruins your life.

 

 

 

It's not completely serious, but some of it is true, just me being really bored.[/hide]

 

 

 

bit of an exxageration, dont u think?

 

 

 

Well, incase you didn't know, exaggeration is used everywhere, including Litrature, articles and essays. You even use it with your friends and relatives quite often. "Mom! I've been waiting at the Cinema for YEARS now! You're late!". Obviously, you've not been waiting there for years, not even a whole day, and probably under 30 minutes. But still, you said you have. Exaggeration is, in no way, a way of invalidating an article.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That being said, it was mostly not true, although he has SOME sort of point. What he's trying to say is that this game is addicting, and that those of you who play it too much, should "lay off" of it for a while.

Sometimes I wish freedom of speech came with an IQ test...

 

 

 

In times like these there's only one thing we can do. Find a blog that builds up RuneScape and move on! Or find one that's worse and spiral downward into self-pity... It's been done to death, but I'm going to agree. The argument is flawed, bad and not worth the time (probably not even worth posting about. But seeing as it's here and there's a chance to get my post count up, I may as well conform) it took to post onto the internet for everyone to read, and not worth the readers time for that matter. Unless, this is actually a comedic blog and the poster is trying to be funny...

[hide=]Okay let me explain how Runescape ruins your life.

 

 

 

So you're strolling down the sidewalk skipping and loving life. You're singing twinkle twinkle little star while you're skipping, and everyone's looking at you like you're a [bleep]g0t. Say you're 12 at the time, which is a little more scary seeing as you're almost a teen and you're doing this.

 

 

 

So you hear from a friend of a cool new game called Runescape! You say hey! It doesn't need to be downloaded!? That's soooo cool!!! You skip inside and you keep singing (You gotta stop doing that) and you go online and go to Runescape. You think "Hmm..this is a cool game!" You continue to get more and more addicted.

 

 

 

We'll fast forward about 5-6 months. You've done everything in the free worlds and you're totally bored. You're now pondering why you play. Everything seems to repetitive but you're entertained anyway! So what's the point in playing? I'll tell you the point skiparoo, you're addicted and now you're obsessed with being the best. You're now playing the game 4, 5, 6 hours a day, it's gotten to be a big part of your life. You're now level 75, you're so proud of yourself, you get to call llots of people noob because you're higher leveled than they are.

 

 

 

You then think to yourself "Hey, there's a members world! I can totally pwn that!" Then you laugh in a high pitched voice and your mom throws a stapler at your head and tells you to stop laughing like a *bleep*. You listen.

 

 

 

You then beg your mom "Please mom! I wanna pwn in the members world!" After a few minutes of contemplating on what the word pwn means, she agrees to pay, but just for a few months in case you don't like it.

 

 

 

You're so excited! You're in a members world..but what's this..you're a level 75 and you're surrounded by level 100 + guys! Oh no, this isn't good. You're not one of the best in the pack anymore. You need to level up, you need to be the best.

 

 

 

At this point you're now spending about 8 hours a day on Runescape. You have it set in your mind that you gotta do all the quests, you gotta level up all your stats, you gotta be number 1! You keep training, you're level 90 now! Dude, you're almost there! You gained 75 pounds in the past 3 months but you're almost there!

 

 

 

Congratz, you've reached level 100! But..your birthday's tomorrow! You quickly think of a list to see what you want for your birthday, but the only thing that's going through your mind right now is..Runescape..Runescape...Runescape. You start to foam at the mouth. You make a mental note to see someone about that. You write down your birthday list "Runescape membership for 2 years" and give it to your mom. She says "...Is this it?" You're like "Yup." She's like..okay, only $120, not too bad. That's the subtle way you thought of to continue your addiction without your parents being too concerned.

 

 

 

You now have 2 more years of Runescape membership, you're happy, the membership was gonna expire tomorrow.

 

 

 

At this point you're level 100, and you've been playing for 3 years now. You're 15, you've missed your freshman prom. You've been faking injuries and sicknesses just to stay home from school to get some extra time on Runescape. You keep trying to complete quests, but by the time you complete one, two more are created. Now you spend even more time on Runescape. You're pulling all nighters, just to catch up with the quests.

 

 

 

Now you're level 105! You're so happy that you've raised 5 combat levels in such a short amount of time. You're close to the top spot. But at this point you're now grossly overweight.

 

 

 

It's your 18th birthday, and once again you ask for Runescape membership, nothing else. You don't have your license, you're still a virgin, you've had minimal contact with the outside world for the last 4 years. You still have over 40 quests to do..but you're level 120!! You're almost the best in the game!!

 

 

 

3 years later, it's your 21st birthday. By this time you've lost contact with all your friends, but you don't care. All that matters is Runescape. You ask for more memberships, and by this time your mom confronts you and knows you're addicted, and stops paying for your memberships. You're MAD. You came so close to getting to the final level, and your mom just cuts off your funds. On your 21st birthday! You resort to drastic measures to getting this money. You think, all I need is $5 a month. But you don't get a job, that requires going outside, and you don't want that. Instead what you do is you steal from your mom's purse. Your mom thinks you're off Runescape now! It'll be perfect! It's only $5 a month out of her purse, I'm sure she won't mind.

 

 

 

So you continue your membership, you're now level 125. You're 24 years old, you've been playing Runescape for 12 years. You've probably spent over 1,000 hours (Definetely more) playing. You have no friends, you're incredibly overweight, you've lost your connection with your parents, you're pale white because you haven't been outside in months, you've flunked school and gotten yourself expelled. But it's okay, as long as you have Runescape.

 

 

 

You're one level away from level 126 (the highest level you can reach in Runescape), and you finally make it! You're cheering, you're celebrating, you're on top of the world. Despite your real life being ruined, you're so happy that you've finally reached this "turning point" in your life. You then look at the stats board, expecting to see your name in first place. It turns out you're 53rd place, and 52 others have been level 126 before you, and have kept training. It turns out it all comes down to experience points.

 

 

 

Your world is turned upside down. This is the most upsetting thing that's happened in your life, and for the first time, you shut down Runescape out of your own will. You sit and re-examine your life. You've seen you've *bleep*ed it up. You just now realize you're fat. You've lost your parents, your friends, your education, and your future. All because of this game, Runescape. Runescape has ruined your life. You go on a homicidal spree and kill yourself.

 

 

 

And that's how Runescape ruins your life.

i know, but he makes it sound like playing runescape=u have NO life whatsoever.

lol at that fantastic story.

 

 

 

Morale of it is check high scores before you set a goal and don't take 9 years to level up lol.

 

 

 

 

 

Fun story nonetheless.

hmm, I'm going to make a blog & video just to reply to this [cabbage]
