Indiana pushing a gaming law that’s failed pretty much everywhere else Saturday, Dec 31 2005 

Ars has added their commentary to an Indiana state senator’s attempt to push legislation that would keep children from buying violent video games. What’s hilarious is that this same law has pretty much failed in every other state it’s been proposed in. What’s even funnier? Indiana already tried to pass similar laws in 2000 and it failed then.

What does Runescape do for you? Thursday, Dec 29 2005 

Today on rsbandb Czskrazzi made a very interesting topic. I hadn’t ever really though about runescape in the way he was asking to in this thread. Heres how he started the thread, what you need to think about and post about:

“Well, so tell me, i mean, what does rs do for your life, does it somehow benefit you? Does it affect your real life? Since you have been playing rs, has your personality changed? Why is it that even though rs usually isnt good for us, we cant stop playing?”

Its a very interesting topic. There have been some pretty good answers so far. Its interesting to see how other people think about runescape. Heres waht I wrote:

“Well the main thing runescape does in my life is give me something to do in my free time. The other games on the xbox or ps2 ect… get boring after a while becuase they are not updated often, if at all. Being a member in Runescape we get updates every week. That is what keeps me comming back. Ever since I started playing, around 4 and a half years ago, I have made lots of friends on Runescape. A few of them very solid friendships. We have began to start talking about things besides Runescape such as other games on other systems and even things completely off the subject of gaming. I have friends on the other side of the US and on the other side of the world that I have very interesting non-runescape related discussions with. Mainly the updates in the game and getting to talk with those good friends of mine keep me comming back. If I don’t come back I get a strange feeling of letting them down. Confused

About my personality. I have to say that my personality has been changed since I began to play. Biggest thing is I feel that I am letting down friends that I will probably never get to meet in real life. Still runescape is good though. It always gives you something to think about, and the quest stories have helped me write papers in English class before. I don’t copy exactly, but I do use the general story line a little bit. Yeah, go ahead and call me addicted to runescape but I don’t really mind. Its something that is fun and enjoyable to do. You also learn some from playing the game. I have learned a few midevil terms in my time. I have also learned a small sense of money management from playing runescape. So overall the game has really helped me in a lot of ways. I plan to play it as long as I possibly can until I run out of time.

I also have to say that my runescape life wouldn’t be the same without rsbandb. The community has helped me learn a lot about the game itself and about a lot of things outside of runescape. Before I came here I had no clue there was any progamming languages besides html. Shocked I have learned some of the other languages and what they are since I came here. I find that pretty cool. I also learned how to use graphics progams to make some pretty fair looking signatures. There are lots of people here that have the same effect on me as those solid friends in runescape. I feel that if I don’t come back here I am letting people down. Thats why I keep on comming back.

So after summing all that up I just want to say thanks to everyone here at rsbandb.

Hope that gives ya a serious answer czskrazzi. Smile

Happy Holidays Monday, Dec 26 2005 

Happy holidays to everyone wherever you may be. :)

I had a pretty good christmas. I was up till 1am this morning talking with my friends and partying. It was pretty fun. I woke up this morning and got a pretty good present. Something I thought would not be given to me becuase it is too expensive. It was a new cell phone. Motorola Razor. (The really thin ones.) It is aweosme. All my friends are jealous. :P Other then that I pretty much got nothing but clothes. Christmas was great though. I hope everyone else had a good day.

Blizzard said it shut down more than 18,000 accounts that were using illegal software to cheat in its immensely popular video game World of Warcraft.

This is good. My friend plays this game a lot and he would always complain to me about it. Good to hear they finally did something about it. :)
