Special guest site writer Nick Marino joins us as we discuss the massive amount of news that dropped this week about WoW’s next expansion The War Within. We cover arguably one of the biggest quality of life improvements coming to the game in the form of Warbands as well as the alpha test, dynamic flight, Delves, the new Earthen allied race, new classes coming to the Dracthyr, a major in-game event that has already been spoiled (really, people, let's not), and the new mode that turns spiders into crabs. Though not crabs with tiny hats so there is obviously still some improvement to be had there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Everything we know about The War Within

Join us as we discuss the smaller delights found in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3, trying to keep up with all of the seasons/battle pass/limited time event grinds across multiple games, and what recent single player fantasy games (other than Baldur's Gate 3) is equivalent to Cyberpunk 2077’s engaging mix of massive world building, story driven quests, and modern graphics. Hint: Not enough. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The crushing weight of too much content

Join us as we discuss the new adorable duck reward from this year’s Noblegarden event, Diablo 4’s first PTR, what we’d like to see in the future for WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery, how Overwatch introduced a new hero but without all the extra stories usually surrounding the launch of a character, and we end on a deep discussion about Pirate Stitches and shark guns. You’re welcome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Noblegarden has gone to the ducks and we're here for it

Join us as we discuss the recent Diablo 4 dev chat revealing the many quality of life improvements coming to the gearing system, the massive Dragonflight meta achievement that rewards the goodest of boys, and the new raid content coming to WoW Classic Season of Discovery and Wrath Classic. Plus, the flower-hatted duck that is destined to be our new best friend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Less time sorting, more time slaying

Join us as we discuss Plunderstorm, the surprise 60-person Battle Royale mode Blizzard just dropped for WoW (but not for WoW, it’s a thing.) We also cover our varying levels of excitement and disappointment over the new Hero specializations revealed for The War Within, wax nostalgic for the new 10th anniversary Hearthstone cards referencing the game’s past, and wrap up with the question we’ve been asking ourselves a lot lately, "Does Overwatch even know what it's trying to be anymore?"
