Great show, just wanna say, when shane said that the show was worse with with brad 1, i strongly disagree. It wasn't worse it was just different. I like the show every week. Esp with the co hosts Brad 1, Brad 2 and Trekkie. Each of these people play off shane in different ways, And thats what makes the show great, when there are hosts that have different points of view. This Ensures Stimulating conversations.

Peace Out
RRman

P.s Mark that as 1 person that liked the Brad 1 shows

You have no idea what I had to put up with aside from what you heard on the show. Maybe one day I'll do a tell all, we'll see.

Brad 1 was extremely hilarious, unfortunately it was at Shane's expense, so I can see where both of you are coming from.

There was something around the 48 minute mark I found amusing. You three were discussing what you wanted in Runescape in 2012. The concensus was:
A minigame with staying power that would hold interest for months rather than days.
A place where multiple people can do things together, as a team.
Allow you to earn decent experience and worthwhile rewards.

I was very surprised by this, because what you three actually want in 2012 already exists in RS. The only thing is, you all HATE it! Clearly, what you all secretly want deep down in your hearts of hearts, is Dungeoneering. Oh the irony! XD

Shane · **Posted:** January 17th, 2012, 5:50 pm

That might very well be it Rickles. The problem with Dungeoneering is the idiots that encompass it. If it was a larger group than 5 chances are the group mechanic would work, but with 5 the potential for idiots is high. You pretty much need a defined group to find success. That's leads to the one major thing I want from Dungeoneering, an intelligent grouping system. The grouping system could be based on level or some other type of internal rating.

These problems are why Dungeoneering is not an answer to what we seek!
