Got 94 Runecrafting on Sunday (11/28) to finish out November with 2385 levels. My master plan is to work on 2400 total levels which means doing whatever until I magically get some more levels.

I was out hunting penguins and it was exactly as Merch describes it here: http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/blog/merch_gwyar/index.php?s=d8ad80ee4b202c1b7cdf5f3fb563ccc9&showentry=57000

I read that and laughed. Personally, I like the guy who yells "Where's the penguin on dragontooth?" (substitute Entrana/McGrubors woods). It's a tiny little area. Just GO THERE AND LOOK!

Got a friend of mine to start playing and he loves it. It's kind of fun to talk to someone who's just learning the ropes and is having fun. The stuff that I find annoying or mundane he's going "wow did you know?" and it's kind of cool. I know at this point that I don't even see a lot of RS. I just go without looking.

But I did have a good laugh with a friend the other night. We were listening to two guys discussing various outfits and how they looked. How disappointed they were with the dragon scimitar and the angle it was held, where the elbow sat etc. And then what bottoms went with a robe that one of the guys had.

I'll be honest and admit-if you were to walk into my house in full 3rd age I would have no idea. I'm sure after 4 years I've seen it somewhere. I think I can recognize the basic metals, d'hide and prossy armor. I think I'd know Guthans if I saw it. But I don't really recognize much beyond that. Even though I've owned all kinds of stuff. I know it by it's attributes (bonuses to strength, hurts mage, is heavy etc) but I just use overhead camera view for 90% of my gaming and couldn't really comment on colors, spikes, length etc.

It's actually pretty cool that some people put that much effort into how they look. Just reminds me that people really do play for their own (very random) reasons.
