On this episode, the bois try not to literally die laughing at dumb jokes, and talk about the winners of the first Dropping Spicy Arenas Tournament. Followed up by our week in Apex, some quick dives into Reddit and the communities feelings on the current meta, and our latest survey results.

Rei, Eric, and Harv are back and Nick joins them late to talk about the latest goings on in World of Warcraft!

First, Eric talks about Order of Corrupted Souls defeating Sire Denathrius on Heroic, so congratulations to the team for getting Ahead of the Curve!

Harv then talks about logging into Burning Crusade Classic now that it is live and running Hellfire Ramparts and getting to level 59 on his mage. He also talks about the struggles as a hunter once again needing to keep a supply of ammunition on hand.

Rei talks again about the latest experiences with pugging and her interactions with the community.

Nick returns to talk about the news that Blizzcon 2021 has been cancelled. He talks about Blizzard's poor development schedule and points out that after Blizzconline in February, there's no guarantee that Blizzard would have had any announcements to make in November. They also discuss how the pandemic has stretched out WoW's development cycle with Patch 9.1 taking forever to be released and no idea for a timetable for 9.2. Nick isn't pointing this out because people are mad, he just believes no one should have been surprised by this news.

Also in the news, Rendle the dredger from Castle Nathria will be a questgiver in Patch 9.1, playing off the joke that as the repair vendor in the raid, he is raking in the gold.

There has also been concerns that flight in Patch 9.1 will need to be purchased per alt. Harv complains about the complexity of all of WoW's systems. Nick talks about how easy it is to get renown.

Our question of the week is What do you think about possibly paying for flying in Patch 9.1?

Finally, we look back at episode #86 which was right after the first Auction House Dance Party.

This week on Clan of Three we welcome back Edanar and get his impressions of the two episodes he missed while on vacation. We move on to talking about The Bad Batch Episode 6 Decommission that sees our band of clones taking a new job from Cid. We will talk about their job to a battle-droid decommission facility on Corellia, the reintroduction of some minor Star Wars Clone wars characters, and some hints at the future.

This week, Nick, Chip, and Kura greet the last member of team, Dr. Liara T'Soni, Asari Prothean archaelogist, stumbler into traps, and possible love interest for Shepard. They begin by running through the mission to meet her, which goes pretty quickly once you are on Therum. They try to figure out how exactly she got herself trapped in the Prothean bubble and what the Protheans could have intended with their security procedures. They also talk about combat with a Krogan and the possibility of leaving the recovery of Liara till near the end of the game.

Next, they talk about another mission in the Artemis Tau cluster involving Nassana Dantius and her slave-running sister. You are able to kill her sister on Sharilja in the Macedon system before returning to the Citadel to get the full quest details from Nassana. Either way, you get your reward. The squad also talks about how there are seemingly only about four kinds of base layouts and it is not hard to get used to them, and debate whether Bioware should have put resources into updating the variety of encounters. Nick points out that they did the same thing with Dragon Age: Origins back around this time as well.

When returning to the citadel to complete Nassana's request, two other encounters are initiated. First, a fifth fleet admiral surprises Shepard for a Normandy inspection. Everyone grumps about how much this is annoying, but Nick talks about how he lacked any charisma points to get through the encounter and was left to get chewed out. Then, the group discusses the news report with Khalisah Al-Jilani. No one punched her (yet), but again, Nick was stuck answering her questions blandly and got called out by Hackett for the story making you look bad. Chip and Kura answered some questions but revealed a bit more and got called out by Hackett for that.

Double Tap is here with a new episode and Crashtag and Static can smell Guilty Gear Strive. First, in the Fighter's Corner, we look at the Guilty Gear Strive Developer's Backyard and story trailer. Then, we see the early results of the Intel Open and Virtua Fighter is finally back, but still a port. In the Randoms of the FGC, someone dropped the full strive OST on youtube, TNS puts on a live event featuring UMVC3, live events are getting announced for the end of the year and a new indy fighting game, Coreupt has been teased for E3 and is making waves. Then in the Focus Attack, we go over some of the resources for getting started in Strive. Finally, we hear your answers to the community question from last week.

We kick off with our 2 highlight games, the Dallas Fuel vs the Florida Mayhem and the San Francisco Shock vs the Washington Justice. We take an extended, map by map look at the major moments from each game, highlighting major performances and big plays as squads battle to secure placement in the knockout bracket.

Next, we recap all of the action from the past week of Overwatch. We go through the results from each game, paying special attention to major plays and player performances from both this week's qualifiers and the knockout bracket.

Finally, we look ahead to our final 4 teams in the June Joust. We take an individual look at all 4 competing squads before making our individual predictions for which team will walk away as tournament winners.

Please excuse the crew this week! They were sleep deprived after 30-40 hours of leveling in 3 days. First off the crew covers the news and then move into the craziness that was the first few days of The Busrning Crusade Classic expansion. It's been a wild ride and hopefully you enjoy the stories.

Welcome to a new episode of Double Tap! Crashtag and StaticGorilla are back with an episode packed with trailers, delays and announcements. In the Fighter's corner, Guilty Gear Strive will not have PS5 exclusive modes on launch, the arcade version of the game has been delayed and there will be a Pre-Release Showcase. Tekken 7 had a balance patch while KOF XV gets delayed, but not without a Blue Mary trailer and a Samsho Trailer for Shiro Okisada Amakusa. In the Randoms of the FGC, Playstation announces EVO tournaments, AnimeEVO gets a brand change and TNS has a big Marvel tournament this weekend. Then, Crashtag found a video about most played arcade games, we look at FGcombo and talk about Two Strikes fighting game. Finally, we ask the listeners a community question.

KATIE. IS. BACK!!!

Katie is back and Nick is here as always to talk about what's going on in the World of Warcraft. After making some jokes about game development, Katie mentions that her raid group is up to the Stone Generals in Castle Nathria. Then, she mentions that some people have been receiving their copies of the upcoming Fairytales & Folklore book early, leading to some interesting leaks. Nick complains that he wasn't going to get the book but then because of the spoilers he had to get the book.

Nick dives into the lore by talking about how "Time is not a construct of death," and what if, when we kill the Jailer (assuming that we do), we wipe him from ever having existed? He talks about how Ardenweald supplied anima to the Maw to keep the Jailer bound, and that perhaps Ardenweald would never have had to do that. He then wonders if someone would wind up taking the Jailer's place, and so they would be made the Jailer for all time, including the past.

Nick makes fun of the Jailer's neckwear (headwear?) a little, and then they talk about the possibility of the Jailer and Sargeras facing off against each other. Katie brings up the Old Gods, and Nick brings up the Cosmology chart, and then they discuss how time is related to Nature, Light, and Arcane which are the three primal forces of life, according to Tel'arn in the Nighthold. They also talk about how Elisande claims that "Time eddies about [us] in fits and starts," and Nick repeats his theory that we don't experience time in a straight line. They wonder what bringing time to a timeless realm would look like.

Finally, they discuss Ve'nari and Stygia and the nature of the Brokers and what could their relationship to everything be?
