  1. A lot of those original arguments could be applied to being a veterinarian and no one for a moment would ever think of that as a sport. Like you said it doesn't mean its not hard, but not everything that's difficult is a sport.
  2. Awesome! That's very generous of you Its good having such a rich player in the clan XD
  3. Its basically the science of the environment. We're basically going sort of near the desert and setting up insect traps to pin them and determine population sizes etc.
  4. Just letting you guys know I'm going to be gone from Monday to Wednesday (my time) as I have to go on an excursion for Ecology. So yeah...
  5.

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't yet played it, in fact I haven't yet played Borderlands, but from everything I've heard everyone who has played Borderlands 2 has thoroughly enjoyed it (well except for this guy, which squishyman made me aware of.) 5 DLC packs will be made available in the next few months, with all packs available before June 2013. Its rating on IGN is 9 out of 10. The release of Borderlands 2 has even been speculated to have contributed to the 125% leap in sales for video games this week. Dead or Alive 5 Again, unfortunately I haven't played this or any of the other games in the franchise, so I'll keep this short. Dead or Alive 5 has been said to be the best in the series with more focus put into the fighting and gameplay rather than on the hot chicks, which obviously are still an aspect of the game. Weird and Interesting News From the World of GamingA Manitoba jail has been shown to have a video game collection that could rival some video game stores. The article here explains more Freeplay Independent Games Festival was held in Melbourne, Australia showing that Video Games are culturally important. A new intuitive device for gaming has been designed at a University in Italy. The Device, called Palla, can be held in the hand or rolled across a surface to interact with a game. For more information see this article. That's it for this week, but I'd like to remind you to share your thoughts on this article and to give suggestions for future articles in the comments below or by signing up to the community and sending me a message.

  9. Yeah, this is something I always try and do, and its such a simple thing that will make the clan more enjoyable for everyone.
  10. I think we have 104 active members at the moment, but all at different times.
  11. Yeah, I thought I'd actually posted a comment saying that's why we needed to improve recruiting. My hope is also that people who participate in this will get a feel for recruiting and if they enjoy it or find they are good at it they might apply for a diplomat position.
  12. Glad that there's a few people interested in this, and that the times your available is fairly close together, problem is the time thats convenient for you guys is 4 o'clock in the morning for me :(I'm on a break from uni for the next couple of weeks now though so I might be able to do it.
  13. Hi guys, so I was wondering if you anyone would be able to improve on the logo I made for my last article (in the spoiler tags below). I would like to have a logo that I can put in the foreground of an image, and then customize the rest of the image for that week, as I've done below. If your willing to help me out with that and want the image in a different format (like png with just the text) I can do that for you. It should be about the size it is above. It would also be good if someone could do a background that I could use, but if not the logo is the main thing because at the moment it looks pretty terrible and I don't have the time to fix it, in fact I don't really have the ability to make it look much more professional. Of course I'll give you full credit for whatever work you do when I use it.
  14. lol, thats really cool. I still like my alpaca dragonborn better though XD
  15. I hadn't heard of Welcome to the NHK, it actually seems quite interesting though. I should watch it at some stage but there's so much I want to watch/read and not enough time
  16. I was going to write more about the G4 thing but since we don't have it in Aus there would be no point for me to do that.However a similar thing happened here, there's a gaming show called good game, which used to be really good, it was funny and they knew what they were talking about but a few years ago they fired one of the two hosts, who was actually the only gamer and was the one who came up with most of their ideas, but they wanted to get a more general audience and start a kids show which he knew wouldn't work and since then its a pretty terrible show, and its so clear that its completely run by corporate suits rather than actual gamers.Like Squishy said, I really hate that they don't realise that hardcore gamers and geeks are completely capable of supporting a tv show so they don't need to appeal to a broader audience, especially since normally its still understandable to most people so there's no need to "dumb it down". Besides casual gamers are far less likely to watch a gaming show/channel. Same goes for general internet/"nerdy" stuff.
  17. I hadn't heard much about Team Ico until you posted this article but now I'm really interested in playing through the series, unfortunately though I don't have a Playstation and it seems the Team Ico games are only on PS2 and/or PS3
  18. My second article is up, it would be awesome if you could all check it out and share your thoughts on it.

      I'll view it when I get home from school.

  19. Of course, your more than welcome to join in . I'll make sure to let you known when we're going to do this and I'll probably come up with a bit of a schedule for what we'll do just so that we don't get bored and run out of stuff to do. I'll post another topic or move this one once I've got the finer details thought out.Castle wars is a good idea, although It might be better to be its own separate event rather than part of this one, but it could still work for this, Thanks for suggesting it

    Clan Citadel

    Everyone on the same world (assuming they've paid the 300 orts for the week) actually gets the bonus but you get more when your within range. Just off the top of my head I think its 6% bonus for being on the same world and 10% bonus when your within range of it. It also allows you to gather resources in the citadel quicker. (I can't remember what its other buffs are at the moment, those are the only two I've used and I think they are the only skilling ones.)As far as the citadel goes, it can also act as basically an extra person in that you can set it to gather resources and it has the same cap as any other member, I'm not sure whether it contributes to the visitor count though.

  23. So I've been thinking about this for a while, I've been trying to start organizing stuff with the Events Team but I thought I should share with the rest of the clan as well. So the basic idea is we'll go to the clan camp on a busy world, I'll bring the clan avatar, and if enough people are there we might also do some stuff in the citadel (but obviously we'll have to have people outside telling people to go to the citadel, but thats just an idea) and ideally so long as we can get a good group together I'd like to go around runescape as a clan recruiting people, we could do some skilling etc, but I'd like to have a good number of people all in clan capes so that we can be easily identified as being from a clan if we do that. If anyone wants to it would be cool if we could also spread the recruiting to outside of the game (ie on fansites and the forums, it would be a good opportunity if you want to get a feel for recruiting as I'll be there to help out. So who's interested? I'd like to have at least 5 people there, including as many staff members as possible. Once I know who wants to go I'll work out what time suits most of those people (theres no point me making an event that suits EST people if most of the people who want to go are GMT). So if your interested reply in this format Runescape Name: Self Explanatory Most Convenient Times: in GMT or post your timezone as well and I'll convert it. Interest in recruiting out of game: Y/N and which sites Places you'd like to recruit: eg. Maples in Seers, Monkfish, etc. Post about how to recruit on fansites/forums Also even if your not going please share your thoughts.
  24. Well for example I'll probably use most of my free xp on Summoning since its far easier and I probably wouldn't work on training it otherwise. Whereas for the competition I'll train Woodcutting, Cooking, Thieving etc as its fairly easy to get xp from them, and not a whole lot else that goes in to them (like you don't need to go and kill stuff to get charms like you would for summoning) and I would probably train them anyway.By the way I'm not overly concerned about this I'm just saying its something to be considered, like "worst case scenario"
