Lore Watch Podcast: Deep, cosmic questions from the Diablo and WoW universes

Because we aren’t all constantly filled with existential dread, Joe and Matt are answering some deep questions asked by some of our listeners. The first concerns the afterlife in Diablo, namely where we all go when we die. Heaven and Hell aren’t really in keeping with our religious afterlife paradigm, after all. Then, they’re asked about what the moon or sun is, really, in WoW. This one is a little less harrowing, since we see lots of things like magic derived from these celestial bodies, and some of them are characters in their own right. There are also other solar systems in other planes to worry about, and what all these celestial bodies working in concert might mean for the fabric of reality.

And now we have to go lie on the floor and think about why the sky is blue, what dogs dream about, and what makes us humans. It’s fine.
