Countdown To Classic

Welcome to the gaming podcast where it's not my opinion that counts - but yours! Listen in each episode as Josh sits down for lengthy chats with passionate people about the things we love. Today, I grab Hunk to have a casual chat about all this Lost Ark madness and yell like an old man about paying for free games.  We also pull in the former GM of accomplished Classic Oceanic guild Bunnings Warehouse, and current GM of Season of Misery, Viri, to discuss today's news about SoM transfers potentially being opened up.  After that,  we keep the esteemed GM's coming as I'm joined again by friend of the show, Erfala, GM of one of the top guilds in the world, Calamity, along with his guild's main tank, Excy, as we discuss the race to Illidan that just went down last week in TBC Classic.  Some Kiwi guy joins in on that one too.
