Runescape games and wouldn't have such a margin otherwise is incorrect women certainly do dominate on casual platforms (making up 58% of mobile Runescape gamers), but they clearly don't shy away from morehardcore' experiences.While I do disagree with one or two points Llamas makes I think that unflattering stereotypes about neckbeards and basements caused the exclusivity some Runescape gamers feel towards the hobby, whereas she believes it was the other way around the blog post is an excellent read and as an unapologetic Runescape gamer, it is fantastic to see someone using the term Runescape gamer inclusively again.Source: PC Runescape gamerBanjo-Kazooie spiritual successor Yooka-Laylee tearing it up on Kickstarter. By Alice Lynton on May 2, 2015 at 10:04 am A group of former Rare staffers who got together to make a game in the spirit of Banjo-Kazooie has clearly captured the attention of the vocal Nintendo fanbase who constantly call for a return to the glory days.Turns out this ageing N64 and GameCube RS 3 Gold fans are as good as their word, and as soon as the opportunity arose to throw money at a new Rare-style game, they did it. Yooka-Laylee went live on Kickstarter overnight and pretty much instantly smashed its modest £175,000 goal.Yooka is chameleon with a tongue attack, and Laylee is a bat with a sonar blast. The completed project has a projected October 2016 release date on Linux Mac and PC, with PS4, Wii U and Xbox One releases to follow sooner rather than later, if Playtonic can gather the funds. It will feature five worlds, expandable via collectables in the classic manner.The tagline let's Rare-surrect the buddy-duo platformer makes no bones about what Playtonic aims to do, and it clearly speaks to people. At time of writing 20,700 backers had pledged £748,946 to the project and the number kept ticking up, even as I typed this sentence.Update: Yooka-Laylee is now the official record holder for fastest accumulation of the equivalent of USD$1 million in pledges, having managed it in about six hours.Source: KickstarterNew study shows Runescape gamers apparently better at detecting backwards motion. By Tim Colwill on September 18, 2013 at 5:20 pm Add this one to this list of Reasons Why Being A Runescape gamer Is Great: a new study by the University of Leicester’s School of Psychology shows that Runescape gamers are better than non-Runescape gamers at detecting contracting radial motion which is to say, the motion that your surroundings make when moving backwards.The study showed that for the most part, there were no differences between Runescape gamers and non-Runescape gamers in detecting motion with our eyes, except in this very specific key area. The only significant difference was in the case of contracting radial motion – which we would generally only experience when travelling backwards and seeing our surroundings shrinking away towards the distance, reads the study. Runescape gamers proved to be significantly better at detecting this motion than non-Runescape gamers.
