This week we decided to skip the news and talk about what we do in the World of Warcraft drought between expansions.

This week Marty and Michael kept the fort while Thom was away.

Before heading into the Blizzard news they talked about Ikea and meatballs.

In Heroes of the Storm the new quest and upcoming reporting feature were the talking point.

World of Warcraft both had some interesting Classic news and some BfA mini spoilers.

Finishing off with a quick run down of interesting events happening the past few weeks.

We have Titanscreed aka Pete on the show. He jumped into our Discord channel right when we were about to start the show, so we invited him on.

Because of the lack of news, most likely because of GamesCon, we decided to just talk.

We ended up talking about social interactions in games, World of Warcraft Classic, and we talked about the good ol’ days.

A letter from Alisaunde made us think about who we would love to see resurrected in World of Warcraft.

And last but not least we have a few shout outs.

We talk Call of Duty in the Battle.net launcher.

Diablo 3 season 13 is ending. And what we want of Diablo 4

Heroes of the Storm developer AMA gave a few new insights.

Overwatch turns 2 years old. Huge congrats!

And last but not least, is Esports becoming an Olympic discipline?

The Big Legion Review featuring Frazley Sparkspan with a live version of The Frazley Report.

This week on The Blue Recluse we talk about:

Monster Hunt launched in Hearthstone - How are we faring?

BlizzCon ticket purchasing tips

GCD changes are causing a stir in the BFA Azeroth beta

WoW Q&A

Pointless article of the year

When we are not confused about the episode number, we talk about Ben Brode leaving BLizzard, The Witchwood is almoust out in Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm will be getting another brawl with the blues, and Warcraft has some internet issues, and much much more.

We are guested by Dusty from The Blizzard Umbrella for a talk about Hearthsone (we all love Shudderwock), Heroes of the Storm, Blizzcon and a lot of other silliness!

This week we try to quick digest the post-Pax news and revelations. We quickly touch on Hearthstone: The Witchwood release date, DECKARD MFing CAIN in Heroes of the Storm, the World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth release date, before we jump into the main subject, Overwatch: Retribution. Enjoy!
