Spot The Error #19 & #20
By Jaron
The Villager's inevitably going to change, for better or worse, but one thing that won't (or shouldn't, anyway) is your monthly dose of Spot the Error! That's right, I'm back for my next installment of RuneVillage's favorite *coughandonlycough* error-spotting interactive...thing.
First off, the answers to StE #17/18! I was going strong on my 99 Firemaking goal for both of those pictures, but circumstances sort of led me astray after completing only about a fifth of it. In Spot the Error #17, you may notice my Prayer is drained all the way to 0 from the top-right Prayer icon. The error: that 0 should be in red, not green! Spot the Error #18 took place aboard a burning boat. Azn, Goten and I are all blabbing away--which is that picture's error. The Game button below is clicked which means we should be seeing "You pay 30 coins to board the ship", not any sort of player dialogue! Congratulations to the several members who PMed me with correct answers to both!
Are you itching for a new picture? This month's Spot the Error parodies two things at once, actually. Goten (who was so kind once again to help me out) is dressed up as Richter Belmont. (He's really got an Abyssal Whip for added effect, I just sort of neglected to take the picture from a good angle, apparently.) I'm sitting on that throne in my best Dracula outfit (although a wine glass in my hand would have made it perfect!) But enough talk--here's Spot the Error #19!
Yep, it's true. Right on the tail of StE #19 (which was actually written a couple of months ago) comes Spot the Error #20, and with it, the end of an era. I started production on my first Spot the Error on April 11th, 2006. Over thirty months and twenty editions later, this final puzzle is gracing the Villager's pages. (And it's for a prize, too! More on that later.)
This finale of Spot the Error is due to a combination of factors, a big one being that I haven't played RuneScape like I used to in over ten months. But as I mention in this month's picture, I couldn't have come this far without all of the help I've gotten over the years. Once again, I want to take this time to give credit to them all. Here is a listing of everyone that's voluntarily taken time out of their day to lend me a hand with production, in order of appearance/aid.
A5Chow
Muscular Ape (Twice!)
Omegaman
Applequest
Henner
Hojunhu
Shadow7
Marik/Caedo/Serpentis (Twice!)
Troggy
Goten (Four times!)
Blackmage172
Rogue
Aznpkilla
That's quite the list, to be honest, and it brings back a lot of memories. A special thanks goes to the staff of the Villager for all the work they do behind the scenes getting this from my computer to yours.
Bittersweet moments aside, let's lay down this final puzzle. My love of parodies both big and small shines through once again, as the screenshot's monologue references another recent farewell. Deep in the depths of the Underground Pass, where no Spot the Error has ever been held before, comes the image. We've really come full circle! Here's the bonus: If you send me your correct guess within 7 days of the Villager's release, you have a chance to win 150k from me. (We'll do a junk trade or whatever else it takes.) Winners will be announced via a PM sent to everyone that participates. Ready for my last puzzle? Follow this link.
Thanks again, everyone. It's been fun.
Bang.
