What are your thoughts on the new summoning familiars?
Do you think they'll change the secondary items (such as grey chins for giant chinchompa) or that they'll fix what charms certain familiars take?

Given the new summoning re balance, do you think you'll use the majority of your pouches, or stick with high alching them? Given my experience, I can only see using the Spirit Terrorbird, given that it is cost efficient to make, and it expands your usable inventory by 12 spaces. Everything else that I make will probably end up adding to my magic experience.

Remember on Episode 119, when Brad challenged Shane to guess what the new skill would be and you said Summoning? Are you psychic? Do you believe in this practice? I really have no reason, but i'll say it, i do.

Keep up the great work!!

If you were hungry, and you needed a snack, what would you eat?
And do you ever play motorsports/racing games?

*Looks at Brad* :wink:

What is a CMOS battery? I know it has something to with the clock on desktops.. It currently displays JAN 1, 1980..

Also, how would I go about replacing it?

Note: I'm not sure if the following can be considered tech or not.

I am part of a site that started a boycott on Battlefield: Bad Company. EA games is charging money for additional DLC that includes guns that are already balanced and can be shipped with the game at launch. Shane and Brad, what do you think of EA charging money for additional DLC that can and should be on the disk at launch and how do you think it will change the video game industry?

do you think that jagex will give free to play people a new quest or skill sometime in the future? and i know this is not runescape or tech, but i just have to know. what are the conditions with brad, if it's not too personal a question of course. i'm sure alot of people would miss him if he left for good. keep up the great work
best wishes,
chad

Jason · **Posted:** April 1st, 2008, 9:20 pm

with item lending, what will happen if you die with an item lent to you?

Simmy · **Posted:** April 2nd, 2008, 5:44 am

Noting the past question about item lending...
IF there IS a bug in Item Lending that makes the lender loose items or the lended loose items.... (can I start a riot?) how long would it take Jagex to fixed it, do you believe?

Also, what are the specs of your computers?

Kirby · **Posted:** April 2nd, 2008, 3:19 pm

I haven't heard an answer to this question ever since I started listening to the R!Update.

Shane, did you make the beginning and ending music? If by a computer program, please list it if possible. Also how long did it take you to make if you did.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

When playing runescape and fighting a high levelled monster, there's always the danger of disconnecting and not being able to log back in due to lag, bad internet connection etc. This is a major problem due to the fact that runescape is primarily a money-making mmorpg, and in most cases, disconnecting, dieing and therefore losing items is not the player's fault. How would you go about fixing this?
