Slayer

Lately I've been doing a little bit slayer and by "lately" I mean the past few days. For some reason I really feel like making an RSMV, just haven't found the right song... I've got dagganoths for slayer which are frankly a bore. My current combat gear really sucks. I guess I better do some farming and make some money. Now the tricky part is how to make money without grinding. A challenge indeed. I finished doing some alchemy earlier. By the way, did you guys hear Timothy Gold is back to Runescape. Tiz was right when he said whoever says they quit RS will go back to RS. So, Tiz's solution is to say he'll "retire". One funny thing that I noticed is sometimes I get the most fun out of the most boring things. Like having fun mining, I am fully aware it is boring yet I love it. Weird, anyways, bye for now!

The Essence of Fun

According to Wikipedia, Fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind. In short, fun is supposed to be relaxing and refreshing. Everyone has their own idea of fun. Something maybe fun for one person, but maybe grueling, tiresome work for another. Fun for me maybe making RSMVs while fun for you maybe writing essays the size a book.

Runescape is fun, right? Wrong... well at least for some people. I'm sure we've all heard of the term "Grinding". If you haven't, grinding is a word used to describe doing a certain task over and over again to gain something in game, usually experience. The problem is most people don't even enjoy grinding. In this way Runescape is becoming work. Actually if you are forcing yourself to grind, you are actually paying $5.00+ to work. Last time I checked Runescape was a game and I suppose you are supposed to enjoy games. Games are supposed to be fun, but, isn't that what they were made for in the first place?

I ain't criticizing anyone but, if you grind and you hate it, you shouldn't do it.
