Question from Duke Juker

Dear hosts,

First and foremost, congratulations on making it to episode 500. This podcast has had an impressive run and I hope it continues for another 500 episodes. :D

For each host, what is your most favorite moment you've had on the show? I know you guys have had a lot of them, but which one stands out to you the most?

Duke Juker

Question from MageGuy08

Hello everybody,

My god, we've hit 500. Congrats to everybody who has been a part of it, and props to Shane for almost 500 shows edited (Mike edited one, right?)

Did you ever think the show would make it this far? And how far do you see it going from here?

Thanks for being my last 7 years of entertainment,

Magic

Question from Kenny

Oh ma lawd,

If you'd told me that RSBANDBUpdate would make it 500 episodes when I was listening to the #200 special way back when, I wouldn't have believed you, a true achievement to all involved for committing your time and effort across such a gigantic period of time. It's been so long that I had to go back on RSBANDB Informer articles to remind me of my username to login on here...

I hope you are all well, and that RSBANDBUpdate continues in leaps and bounds.

What has been your favourite Runescape update since the podcast started? I know there's been some pretty big changes (and reversions) since you started but is there one which sticks out in your mind?

Thanks for all your hard work, even if I don't listen as frequently as I used to, it is still incredible that it is still running just as smoothly as when 14 year old me was a guest, and had to mute my microphone to talk to my mum as the show was closing...

All the best

Matt

Question from Arceus

500 episodes is an amazing achievement and congratulations to everyone who produced the show over all those years are in order! :P

If you could instead ask questions to your listeners, what would you ask them? (I hesitate to say 'us' because I don't listen to the show much. Also in no way did Earth threaten or coerce me into posting this question...)

Question from Artofdvorak

Obligatory: Woo! 500 episodes!!

Anyway, Shane: Is your microphone really $3,000?

Earth: if you could make up a completely NEW skill for RS, but in the process would have to delete one, what would you create and what would you delete for it?

(You can't delete dungeoneering)

Question from Cireon

- Can you please keep Earth off my back?

- If a Golden Gnome for noobness was introduced, who should get it?

- Do you think the individualisation of the RuneScape community is a reflection of (western) society changing?

- What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Nope, Earth did not force me to ask questions. Na'ah, that would be illegal.

Question from Spitefire088

All: What is your favorite kind of cheese?

Shane: How much better is Earth than you at NHL15?

Love,

Spitefire088
