We start off with big thanks to everyone who has participated over the years for helping us reach 800 episodes of our show.

YYR joins us to make an announcement about what project he is working on next, and we take listener questions from twitter which dives into a discussion about games as art.

Blizzcon happened this weekend, with two huge games revealed between Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4. However, with the shadow of the Blitzchung ban controversy looming, has Blizzard been able to present a Blizzcon good enough to offset the negative feelings from a few weeks ago?
