RuneScape

So the first time I'd heard of this game, I saw it written "Runescape". So naturally I assumed it was called RunEscape. Then a week or two later I heard someone on the radio call it RuneScape. I still like RunEscape better :)

So anyway, Arian is somewhat addicted to it, and last night, with Stu being out and me being bored, I decided to have a go at it.

Well.

I've never played games like this before. And I'd had a few beers earlier in the evening. So saying my brain hurt was a little of an understatement :) Spent the first hour or so decorating my character and working slowly through the tutorial. Then spent the next hour or so trying to figure out what the heck was going on, and which way was up. Managed to fumble my way through a quest with a lot of help from Arian telling me which way to go. Slowly started to get an idea of what I was meant to be doing. Solved another quest more by good luck than good management, and then finally found the big picture map. Oh what a difference that would have made to have found earlier :) Ended up staying up til well past midnight, only to realise it was the start of daylight savings, and it was really well past 1am. Oops.

So today I get home from church to find Arian playing and Stu decorating a character, so I joined in. And Arian and I played literally all afternoon (while Stu did housework and slept heh).

I can see this becoming an *enormous* time waster in the near future!
