    The War Within early access anticipation
    Aug 23 2024
    Join us as we discuss the launch of The War Within early access, the new Alleria animated short, the end of our beloved WoW: Remix (for now), the mercenaries coming to Diablo 4, and the release date of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Because it’s been too long without Varric in our lives even if they gave him a bad dye job. But there’s gonna be a mod for that, right? RIGHT?

  • What’s involved in The War Within early access

    What’s involved in The War Within early access
    Aug 16 2024
    Site writer Phil Ulrich joins as we discuss what’s involved, and not involved, in The War Within’s upcoming early access, the balance changes that arrived with patch 11.0.2, and Diablo 4 offering WoW-themed transmog as well as a Sparklepon— uh Celestial Steed. Though, honestly, if they really wanted our money, they should just sell a legendary weapon cosmetic dubbed the Pink Pony Club.

  • Haven’t we seen this WoW story before?

    Haven’t we seen this WoW story before?
    Aug 9 2024

    Special guests Cory Taylor and Liz Patt join us as we discuss how the story of the newest War Within cinematic feels a little too familiar, where exactly Warcraft Rumble went wrong, and how the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event feels like we’re all doing the time warp again (spoiler: it’s just a jump to the left.)


    To prove we aren’t all doom and gloom and actually love games (no really), we also cover the pleasant surprises in Diablo 4 Season 5, the potential of the new dev team dedicated to working on AA games using Blizzard properties, and how Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8 will be giving us the Old God-infused baked goods we didn’t know we needed in our lives.

  • A preponderance of pre-patch problems

    A preponderance of pre-patch problems
    Aug 2 2024

    Join as we discuss the problematic mob tagging, expensive rewards, and inconvenient boss timers of The War Within Radiant Echoes pre-patch event. Yes Blizzard addressed these issues yesterday, but we recorded this on Tuesday. That’s how time works, Susan.


    Also, Hearthstone is totally, definitely not dying (the developers said so), Marvel Rivals brings back the fun of early Overwatch, and the future possibilities of the clumsily implemented, but still-full-of-potential, Warbands feature in WoW.


    And because we don’t respect your time, we also delve into the unionization of the World of Warcraft team, the surprise extra boss in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4 Molten Core, and how the Monty Python & The Holy Grail Magic the Gathering limited print run set is so supercool that the scalpers already scooped them all up. But good news! We use it to quote a lot of over-quoted Monty Python quotes. You’re welcome.

    Join as we discuss the expansion pre-patch arriving next week including the accelerated XP curve, changes to transmog, and the much-anticipated Warbands feature for all your alt-management needs. To balance out all the good stuff, we also take a critical eye to Diablo’s Seasonal cycle. Oh, and Joe has something to say about the state of Shaman.
