Howdy, y’all!

This month, Shane started us off with his article 8 Reasons for Windows 8, which was unfortunately published on the 7th. JasonC kicked off the RuneScape articles with his review of other updates that have had a huge impact like the Evolution of Combat has. JasonMRC gives us his views on the Evolution of Combat update, and Alex 43 gives us his views too! Woo! Opinions! The newest member of Earth and the Informers, Lord Rickles (Mason), gave us five things the Q&As told us about Jagex. Finally, Duke Juker described the decline of single player games since the advent of the Internet.

The winner of the November Skill of the Month was Minergoo taking an early lead and winning with a grand total of 7,439,929 Prayer experience gained!

Congratulations, Minergoo, here is your trophy:

This month we also ran a contest to see who could come up with the best Action Bar layout using the updated Equipment Calculator. Freezenub won our competition with a versatile Magic build that utilizes a shield that can be used anywhere from PvM or Dungeoneering. Congratulations.

As I mentioned above, we have a new member of Earth and the Informers, Lord Rickles, or Mason. Welcome!

Well, I think that’s all for this month!

Love,

Earth and the Informers

While playing a game by one’s self against the computer can be fun, it doesn’t match the challenge of playing against other individuals… real live human beings. Unfortunately, single […]
