Questions for 102.

I’d like to remind everyone that this week is our monthly live show! You can read about how to join in here.

Now for the question topic… this week we are doing a general Runescape and tech week. However to increase your chances of having your question answered, please theme your Runescape question to the theme of: autoers, gold farmers, macroing, etc…

Please read the FAQ before posting.

Do not answer any questions seen in this topic!

RSBANDBUpdate! 101 - Prifddinas

It’s time for episode 101. Even though there was no Runescape update this week Brad and I found a great deal to talk about ranging from the pronunciation of Prifddinas to Google-Dell spyware, and some clueless people in the rants section. Also thanks to Alex for providing the new theme song! The song is called “Strength Over Being” by S.Y.C.R.O. Tell us what you think in the forum topic.
