The GGWP

Hey there GGWP-ers! To make up for our absence the last few weeks, Magical, Pira and Chase got together to discuss the latest MCU film, how Marvel is approaching Phase 4, and banter about Spider-Man in general! As this is a bonus episode and on one big topic, there's no notes this time. Enjoy!

Hey there GGWP-ers! It’s been a few weeks on hiatus, but we’re back! This week, Chase and Pira hold down the fort while Magical is out watching Spider-Man: Far From Home, so we dive right into the spectacle that was the Fortnite World Cup! Then we get into the Rick Fox/Echo Fox situation, and mention why /r/LeagueofLegends sucks. Then we get into the esports changes for Hearthstone, and the OP card reveals. After the break, we wish the Game Boy a happy 30th birthday, and Pira surrenders his nerd card for mixing up Doctor Strange and Doctor Who. Pira and Chase disagree on Harley Quinn’s new adult animated show, and wait, has Magical been here the whole time??

Excellent news this week: Chase is BAAACK! After settling in, the guys talk Rift Rivals, why EU is greater than NA, and Chase’s experiences in the press room. Then, the guys recap the week of OWL, and look ahead to the ESL One Cologne Playoffs. Magical wants to talk memes, so we gave him a segment, even though he’s already got one for anime. Speaking of segments, Chase’s Corner is now a live one, and he’s mercifully agreed to keep it to two minutes at a time. This week: Elder Scrolls Legends. In other card game news, Hearthstone got a spiffy new expansion, and a rockin 80’s theme tune to go with it; we discuss!

Hey there GGWP-ers! This week we’re still down to two, as Pira had to re-schedule and Chase is away at Rift Rivals, but he still managed to get a monologue in. It’s a bad week to be a G2 fan, as they lost finals in both Rocket League and Counter-Strike, but we’re excited about Rift Rivals anyways! Maybe too excited - things get heated when Magical and Pira try to decide who won the NA-EU Rapbattle, but they both agree on how hype the Avengers: Endgame re-release is going to be! Then we talk about Teamfight Tactics queue times, and wonder what games Bernie Sanders will play on his new twitch channel. Then we trial out two new segments: Weebtalk with MadMagical, and Chase’s Corner!

Hey there GGWPers! Chase is out again for this week, so Magical takes over on monologue duty, as the guys cover some Eastern League of Legends for a change! Then, Pira takes a turn to explain why everyone in the Overwatch League is talking about the Houston Outlaws, and Riot doesn’t have plans for Teamfight Tactics to go mobile - yet. Pira tries to complement Magical, but fails. Dr. Disrespect gets himself thrown out of E3, but we get lots of information on Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Sequel! Finally, the boys talk Anime with the Boku no Hero Season 4 Trailer, and Magical teaches us all essential Weeb terminology!

Aaaand We’re Back! Two of us, at least. Chase is out for this week’s episode, but Magical and Pira take over the monologue mic in turn. We’ve moved to a shorter, more digestible format, so look forward to more 60-min pods in the future!

A quick roundup of the state of the LCS, LEC, and the OWL opens the show, followed by some news about a certain franchise being purchased after much speculation. But this week is all about E3, as the guys discuss which games and showcases they were most excited about. Keanu Reeves is a national treasure, and Magical connects the dots to Valve’s Half-Life 3 prophecy being fulfilled. Speaking of Magical, he and Pira STILL want Shantae in Smash, but they’ll settle for Banjo-Kazooie content for now. Lastly, Pokemon Sword and Shield content has got pokefans excited the world over!
