The Daily Bits

This weeks Flashy Friday is a high speed chase. The goal here is that you must take out 3 cars using your own. You also have to avoid hitting the traffic. Now… I think it would be more fun if you were a police car instead of a standard red car. Anyways this is one of the funnest ones I’ve seen in a while. Play it here.

Also I’m beginning to wonder if this blog has outlived it’s purpose. Originally it was supposed to be for Runecape/Tech writing. I get my tech stuff out during RSBANDBUpdate! and I am now posting everything RS related on RuneWire. Sure I could write about other things… the scandalist Liberal party of Canada, Runescape idiots, RSBandB forum issues, or just completely random stuff. Now I’m not sure what the people of this blog want but I’m not entirely sure myself.

So anyways… post in the comments what you think. I would love to have a tumblelog like tumblr.com but I prefer to have things hosted on our own server.

As I’m sure some of you know the Bits & Bytes Sandbox is one of the most active areas on the forums. When it was originally created it was made for an area where you could get your spamming urges out or test a signature. Last night two topics, “Battle of the Site Owners” and “Battle of the Moderators v1.1” were created. These topics are pointless and but create an unnecessary feeling of competition among staff members. Every member on the staff was hired because we felt they would do an adequate job at modding the forums. So in short what I’m saying is that everyone’s equally “the best,” even though some people may have favourites. These topics are no longer going to be allowed at rsbandb.

There’s a few more things I want to address…

First off my reply in the site owner section.

You guys do realize that you could all be hung for treason or have your fingers clipped off. Anyways if this is about me not letting you into the RuneWire beta test Billy, I picked people based on RSBandB activity and RS activity on the highscores. Don’t worry though everyone will have a chance eventually. Expect more beta testers to be chosen around Wednesday.

For those of you wondering as to why I don’t talk to anyone outside the core staff groups at rsbandb it’s because well… sometimes I don’t need 50 odd people messaging me on msn. I tried that when we first started the site, lets just say the huge mass convos with 50+ people don’t sit well with me.

If you’ve tried to add me on msn and I didn’t add you it’s not because I hate you it’s just because I like keeping my MSN list small to minimize interruptions and maximize productivity. In fact I encourage any member here to message me on the forum systems, clan chat, or our chat here if you see me and have a problem or want to ask a question. I do try to reply to all my PM’s.

I see that in the time writing this, this topic has spawned battle of the moderators… That one should be interesting!

I felt it necessary to post it here since some of you may have tried on the odd occasion to add me to msn.

Finally point number three.

This one sorta relates to some things that go on in the sandbox and rsbandb in general. The moderating staff always has reasons for what we do. No one is ever warned or banned without reason. So when you hear horror stories of people getting banned or warned for obscure reasons, just remember that no one knows the real reason behind these except the mod staff. So in a nutshell, take what you hear about warnings and bans with a grain of salt.

Well last night we released RuneWire. Beta testers are being accepted. I’m not going to post much more.. you can check out MQ’s longer describing entry.

Well a break from games for once. I saw this commercial on TV a few days ago and thought it was quite funny. I’m not sure if it’s anywhere else in the world or just Canada… but anyways here it is.

Also I’d like to send a shout out to various blogs out there who think it’s cute to create media themed days using alliteration. In case you’re not sure I’m referring to Media Monday and Funny Friday. I’m sure this trend started somewhere… but anyways more so on the first one it would have been nice to have a link saying that you were at least at the very minimal inspired by this feature at The Daily Bits.

That’s all for today…

A good clue

I’m proud to say that I am now back to almost normal operating capacities. I’ve been doing a bit too much counter strike… anyways back to work tommorow on more pressing matters such as some rsbandb work I’m left with a plugged ear and a lingering cough… So I hope I’ll be ready for the recording this week. I also passed 9 million farming xp today…

There’s your daily bits

Ok… I’ll be brief.. I’m not sure how much longer i’ll last today so here’s Flashy Friday. In this game you’re given an objective of touching a certain number of disks. To start you click on the screen anywhere hoping to make contact, if you make contact it forms a chain reaction. So they key here is making sure your chain reaction will touch the required number of disks.

You can play it here.

(still not feeling 100%)

I have been sick since Sunday. That explains the lack of updates here.

The objective of this weeks flashy game is to simultaneously control two balls while evading triangles. The keyboard controls the left screen, the mouse controls the right. It’s a pretty good task of multi tasking I have done quite well.

You can play it here.
Thanks to Kjth2003 on the rsbandb forums for providing this.
