Mash Those Buttons

Nick and Katie are back to talk about the Patch 9.2 Eternity's End announcement. They begin with Nick talking about how the Halloween Hershey Kisses look like Old Gods, in particular C'Thun. Then, Nick talks about how he's been fascinated by videos of a guy trimming and fixing broken cow hooves, and how he realized it might appeal to him because its like watching a Tauren get a pedicure. Katie talks about how she decided to use all her Hallow's End alts to try for the anniversary mount, and sacrificed all their Hallows End currency, only for Blizzard to change the mount to a 100% drop rate the next day.

Then they get into talking about Patch 9.2. They talk about the concept of Zereth Mortis as a crucible for the Progenitors or First Ones, and Nick points out how that's a pattern repeated with the Titans and Un'goro Crater, and then mentions how the repetition is like a Fractal, which was one of the concepts that Al'firim was mentioning in his notes found in Tazavesh. He also talks about how Al'firim is now just Firim and that apparently he has transcended the need for a Cartel. They also talk about how the Enlightened Brokers have the ability to inhabit different armors and wonder if the same can be done with souls. Katie wonders if we're going to see Arthas, and Nick theorizes about him returning to mentor Anduin. Finally, they talk about the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid and wonder about how the expansion is going to end.

Crashtag and StaticGorilla are back for another loaded episode of Double Tap. In the Fighter's Corner, we start with our impressions of the KOF XV online Beta this past weekend. Then, we review the trailer for Dungeon Fighter and recount the drama leading up to what could be a 10 v 10 in Street Fighter V between EU and USA. In the Focus Attack, we take a deep dive into the early development of Project L and give our initial thoughts about what we may expect from the game as an Assist Fighter, motion inputs and so on.

This week first time guest Crix joins us to talk about the weekly news, season of mastery and at the end we get to know Crix a little better.

Pull up a stool, charge your glasses and get comfortable as Happy Hour Episode 37 is here for your listening pleasure. That's right - Mike, Luke and Rob are back for more podcast-based shenanigans, with alcohol aplenty. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that Brad's name wasn't mentioned before. That's because he is off nursing a disgustingly swollen ankle thanks to a footballing incident (cold compress, elevation - the whole nine yards). Get well soon Bradley. This week the lads talk about what they've been up to and watching for the last 2 weeks, plus what they want to/will watch in the coming couple of weeks - including Red Notice, The Harder They Fall, Ghostbusters:Afterlife and Spiderman:No Way Home. Like what you hear? Join our Discord for more behind the scenes chatter and banter at https://discord.me/bulletsandbeer.

This week we talk about what we did this week, raid progression, the news and have a discussion on when TBC Classic Phase 3 should launch.

Nick, Chip, and Kura are here with a short episode. Real life intervened and prevented a full episode this week, but they were at least able to get together to put out a quick episode on their toughts on the Mass Effect teaser image that was released for N7 day. First, Nick and Kura agree that 10/7 should be Mass Effect Day, not 11/7. Then they talk about how the image looks like the Geth and what they expect out of any future Mass Effect game. The gang will be back next week with a regularly scheduled episode as they continue their discussion on Illium, talking about recruiting Samara and Thane.

We kick off this month's episode with a review of recent commitments from Blizzard leadership. We talk about their announced commitments to diversity and to accountability, and how the push for further measures is still to come. We also go into recent announcements regarding the departure of co-leader Jen O'Neal and major delays coming to Overwatch 2.

We go on to recap the huge haul of free agency news as teams begin to solidify their rosters heading into Season 5. We talk about the major changes coming to each OWL team, which players are going where, and what needs teams still have left to fill.

Nick, Rei, and Harv are back to talk about all the news that they haven't talked about the last few weeks. First, Harv talks about raiding and getting up to Sylvanas. Nick talks about how he got a mount as a result of the new patch. Rei talks about her experience managing the guild as they are raiding with a new group lately.

Next, they get into the news that they haven't talked about lately. First, they talk about the Season of Mastery that is being implemented in Warcraft Classic. Nick compares it to the seasons in Diablo III.

Then, they talk about the Sunwarmed Feline coming to retail WoW. Nick wonders what this could say about where we are headed next. He also mentions an article that was released about the Shadowlands Character Creation UI Redesign. They also talked about the World of Warcraft Community Council and how it will only work if Blizzard listens to the Community. They also talk about how the Community is suspicious of content creators. Also, Ion gave an interview with Venturebeat about the state of WoW.

They also discussed the Blizzconline cancellation announcement. Nick is happy with this as it means Blizzard can take time to figure out what Blizzcon could be like in a virtual space. They also talk about Notorious Studios and how people were upset there were no women employees announced, and Nick points out that was the point. They also talked about Jen Oneal leaving Blizzard and how that's a bad look for Blizzard. Finally, they talk about Bobby Kotick's actions sacrificing his salary and the few wins that #ABetterABK earned, especially with the contractor improvements.

Thank you for listening to WoW! Talk! Our next live show is scheduled for 11/22/21 at 10:30 pm E at twitch.tv/mashthosebuttons. For any scheduling updates, please follow us on twitter @wowtalkmtb.
