Bitter and Salty – Episode 55 – White Pony Basement

In the fifty-fifth World of Warcraft podcast episode, we noodle about the scroll behind the Sha of Doubt and the failure of our weekly challenge, we admit that we can’t play the game without guides, addons, and cookbooks, Sláinte enrages when thinking about the Horse Man’s mount and Hallow’s End, Molsan’s Mage dings 90 while mousewheeling candy buckets, we setup new guild ranks and guild bank repair permissions and watch our gold slowly drift away, we further speculate about the next WoW expansion and why we will and will not support Vol’jin in the Emerald Dream, and we put everyone on high alert and ask that you wash your hands and avoid the Occulus at Blizzcon.

Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.

Hi,

Molsan and Dangui,

Here are a few things that happened this week in WoW.

* I picked up a few more Secrets of the Empire and have 9 more to go.

Hey this is the misspelling @blinkphase from the twitters I play a ret/prot space goat pally on ysondre and was just wondering what u guys thought about the idea of an expansion in the future being in the afterlife so Idk maybe you go visit a goblin/ gnome NPC and they give you a device that allows you to shift over to the spirit realm and enemies of old are there trying to make their way back to our realm. Would love to hear yalls thoughts on this take care love the show

PS LONG LIVE THE ALLIANCE !!

Dear Bitter and Salty,

Jean Bees and I were talking about my Darkspear Revolutionary title, and how I was thinking of race-changing my main to Troll because it seemed more thematically appropriate given the fallout from Vol'jin's Rebellion. This led, naturally, into a discussion of Salty's insistence that Vol'jin is NOT his warchief, and the back-and-forth that often shows up both in the show and in the aftershow comments.

So what's the deal here? Does Salty *really* not support Vol'jin in his quest to unseat Garrosh? Do either or both of you actually believe that Garrosh is a better warchief than Vol'jin (or, really, anyone else)? If not Vol'jin, who would you (plural) like to see as the Warchief of the Horde (and no, Jaina Proudmoore doesn't count)?

I look forward to hearing more about this subject on the next episode of Bitter and Salty.

Guess who has a priest with two thumbs and a flight path to Pandaria?

this guy!

Thanks to some help from +Jean Bees  (and a whack of XP from Hallow's End), I was able to get my priest, Arkuchimuya, up to 85 tonight.

Huh. I may actually end up with a level 90 Alt before the end of this expansion!

For those of us who don't power-level alts, what do +Bitter and Salty - A World of Warcraft Podcast recommend as a le...
