June 2009: Running Around With Agility, Games, and Windows 7
posted by Shane on 1st July 2009, at 9:25pm | No CommentsWelcome once again to July, the first full month of summer!
This month we started of with What’cha wearing? Part 4 courtesy of Jason. Part 5 was also published later in the month. Next up was The Hunt for Red Raktuber, the continuation of the Penguin story line courtesy of Kirby. June also brought us the much anticipated run upgrade which Alex covered. Meanwhile, Tim gave us a primer on how to find penguins. Jagex also adjusted the PvP system along with Gravestones covered by Jason. Finally the last update for June were the extended Agility courses, which was aptly covered by Kirby. Kirby also wrote about Clutter Control which is the first in a series of articles on the topic.
June also brought us E3 — which brought us two articles. Kenny asked the question: Could project Natal prove fatal? Ryan took a look at some of the interesting games coming out later this year.
June Tech articles were kicked off with the second part of the Windows 7 experiment. Paul gave us an introduction to something you may or may not know about: Twitter. Finally, with the release of Windows 7 approaching this October I wrote an article giving some pointers on which version should be installed if you are upgrading.
June’s SKOTM was Summoning. This month was the most unpredictable month that we have ever seen in SKOTM due to the nature of Summoning. Xbladez won SKOTM with a lead of 140,121 experience over Tal Ormanda. Xbladez gained 3,378,914 experience. In total 9,931,414 experience was gained by all competitors, good job for everyone at least getting one experience point. Here is your trophy Xbladez:
We also have a small survey that we would like you to take at your convenience. The survey will be used to guide the general direction that Informer will head.
Lastly this month we say farewell to Shwa who has been with us since September last year. Bon voyage! At the same time Informer also celebrates its third anniversary! RSBANDBInformer! was started at the end of June 2006. Thank you to all who have contribute dover the past 3 years.

What’cha wearing? Part 5
Strength is one of the most popular skills in RuneScape. People love to see their characters hit high number and ‘K0′ others with just a few hits. Today’s article is about Strength, the equipment stat that is not the skill. From my studies on strength I’ve found that about every 5 points of strength bonus gives [...]
An Extended Trial for Agility
Greetings, comrades! Welcome to the next generation of Agility: the Gnombarian Pro. This is the part where Jagex compliments its new modification on the run energy with two new, high-level programs. If you are anywhere from level one to sixty-nine, this update is little of concern to you unless you plan on going further in [...]
Clutter Control ~Part 1~
Ever had the trouble of finding an item in your bank? Sure, just use the search tool and there you go. Of course, how about if you want to go slaying with all your combat gear, or perhaps going out to do a farming run? Searching may be good for finding one or two items [...]

64- vs. 32-bit: Which should you choose?
With the upcoming release of Windows 7 this October I’ve been facing a flurry of questions about what version to choose. Ultimately 95% of you will want to stick with Home Premium, this is half of the battle. The other half of the decision is deciding which architecture you will use, 64-bit or 32-bit. Most [...]
Twitter – Microblogging for everyone
If you haven’t been locked away in dungeon for the past few years, you’ve probably at least heard of something called ‘Twitter’. Twitter is a website that allows its users to post 140 character updates for what they are currently doing. Designed to allow for the use of a text message update, 140 character posts have become normal in what is now known as Micro-Blogging.
An Autumn To Look Forward To
What joys has E3 brought us this year? E3 2009 was full of announcements from each console, both major and minor. We’ve had the announcements of motion sensors from Microsoft, motion control from Sony and a vitality sensor from Nintendo. All of which seemed a bit pointless, but props to the ideas. However, this isn’t what [...]
