Happy New Year!

As some of you know I've been playing Fable recently and have not been online except once to buy and sell ranarrs.

Anyway, this year I'm planing to get 99 Attack. I've already started a race with Tiz! But I doubt I'll win - I'm planning to take my time. I don't want to feel the strain like I did last year with 99 Strength (but, what strain can you get from a game?).

On another note, play Fable. Don't play the original, play the EP-ish version, The Lost Chapters, because they added new quests and extended the main storyline (I think). It's one of the best games I've ever played. Pity it was so short though, I took what, 2 days to complete the main game and most of the side quests.

Or if you want, Fable 2's out for the XBOX 360.

This Post Was Made on the 21st of December

Turns out getting a defender didn't take as long as I thought it would. The same night I made that last post about getting one, I got it.

It took me about 700 tickets total (2 hours approx. to collect the tickets and kill the... pets) to get 1 defender of each kind, and then an extra rune one. Plus, I got the mithril one after one shot! How lucky was I?

I had an idea this morning after a conversation with a clan member who desperately wanted a rank raise, with a whole point system where members can earn points from posting in forums and attending events. After accumulating a certain amount of points, members can use those points and get promoted in the clan chat. Unfortunately it was not well received, ah well. It seemed like a good idea in my head. It encourages activity on the forums and on clan events, and also the idea of improving yourself (clan-wise of course) should appeal to MMORPG players like us.

This morning I completed my Christmas event. Pretty fun, although I had a bit of trouble finding Jack Frost at first. The imp said I was getting warmer after walking a little south, so I ran down all the way to the Lumbridge Swamps till he suggested I go somewhere cooler. Ah.

I have pictures, however Photobucket doesn't seem to be working now and their quality is horrible compared to my previous screenies.

On other news, for Christmas I am getting The Sims 2: Pets! Sure I'm 2 years too late but I don't think my dad will be willing to spend $300 on a pedal.

Moving On

A few days after my last post, my computer worked fine... till 3 days later. The problem came back as quickly as it left. So now I use another computer to go online and that means no screenshots for the time being.

Yesterday 5 of us from Blessings (Tim, Tiz, Kicky, Dg and I) went on a Bandos trip and in about 5 or 6 kills later, we got a chestplate drop and were all 2.1 mil richer. It came at a good time, I think, because I was just starting to get into ranarr farming again to get some revenue. But hey, just about anytime is a good time to get 2.1 mil.

For that trip I was slightly concerned about using this computer instead of my own, since I seem to have a lack of trust in other comps. The success of the event only proves that this computer works fine so I'll probably go online more often now.

Anyway, back to the event. I didn't want to risk my Sara and brought my whip instead (later I would see Tiz with his GS) and so I had an empty slot for my shield. I only have 2 usable shields (dragonfire shield and a rune kite rofl) so out came the kite. I'm probably the only player who wears Veracs and wields a rune kite in the world. Well then again I've also worn green d'hide and mithril boots with a strength cape so eh.

After that incident I've decided to work my way up to a rune defender... or a 'fender. Wow. Wish I had a Fender IRL.

Recent Hiatus

Well now, I haven't been posting much lately. Partly because I've been out of the country and also because my computer is a little wrecked. However the problem seems to have fixed itself because just that day my computer worked perfectly.

No developments on Runescape since I haven't been logging in, but this Sunday I have a Chaos Elemental event with the clan. I've never done those before so I'm looking forward to it.

Mindless Droning

The past week on Runescape has been rather uneventful. I was either doing slayer tasks or fishing (while watching videos on YouTube). I suppose you could blame this on my heightened activity on other games, for example last night when I played The Sims from 10pm straight up to 3am.

Apart from the mindless (half-assed) skilling, I was fortunate enough to join Tim, Tiz, ex clan-mate Air, and Air's friend Gerald on a Bandos Godwars trip.

Graardor you def nub! (Get the reference, Tiz? )

We also got a Bandos Tasset drop, however because most of us ran straight to attack the Sargeants, only Air got the drop. If I stayed it would be the best drop ever, since the Bandos Chestplate we got somewhere in April on my first ever Godwars trip. Oh well, no worries, this has been one of the best Godwars trips I've been on.

8.8mil! :O

Stealing Creation

So the new minigame came out while I was away from home. Stealing Creation. My first impression of it (after reading about it in the updates), I thought it would be one of those simulation God games (like SimCity, or Stronghold). Maybe I just didn't read into the post too much? Anyway my favourite games are God games so I was pretty happy.

A day after hearing about its release I went to try it out. It's simple, quite alright I guess, just like most other minigames on Runescape. Sadly already some people have said they were sick of it, a mere few days after it's release.

While I was playing I thought, not bad, but I wouldn't be one to spend hours playing it. So far the most I've played is 2 games in a row. Overall I think it's a pretty average game. Those who do well in it will like it more, as for me I've only ever won twice, so.. eh.

WHAT?! REALLY?!

I don't seem to enjoy minigames very much. The only one I always enjoy going to is Pest Control, which is wierd since I'm surrounded by people who can't stand the game. Come to think of it, I'm never really ecstatic about any update (well.. except the Wilderness one). There's always a strong disappointment, I feel.

Anyway, on other news, I recently maxed out my leet skillz on another game!

Photobucket
It's Renaissance Kingdoms. Also today is my 3rd year anniversary on that game.

And again on other news I managed to get my hands on a John Frusciante album last Tuesday, just about a month after getting the first one. For those of you who don't know why this is mentionable, it's because his stuff is VERY rare anywhere, especially a small country like Singapore. Yeah.. What a beauty.

PvP and Halloween

I'm probably the only person who still hasn't talked about PvP yet. To summarize, I'm very glad Jagex decided to bring PvP back in a larger scale (compared to BH and Clan Wars).

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so get ready to read the billions I'm going to type for you.

Finally!

And a random picture from Tears of Guthix, with Tiz.

As you may have realised, all these pictures are taken in HD. I realised that my computer didn't lag when I played HD on the small screen. For the Halloween event and quest however, I played on HD full screen and it lagged like a b*tch mother.

On other news, I recently got 400 slayer points and I'm planning on learning how to craft Slayer Helmets. However I still need 55 crafting and a black mask, so perhaps it may be a while before I get one.
