Listener Questions

Audio Question from The RRMan

Question from KlamHound

Dear hosts,

I am just now getting into slayer, and was wondering which melee weapon I should use. Cash is limited, and I prefer not to use chaotics because I rarely dungeoneer. What are your thoughts?

Also, do you think Jagex gave up on HTML5 implementation completely? RS3 seemed to tout this as the direction they wanted to head, but they seemed to have abandoned work on this.

Keep up the great show!
