Blizzard Watch Podcast: BlizzCon. Beta. Battlestar Galactica.

This week our hosts Liz and Joe were joined by Cory as the Midnight beta officially launched, with access for people who have preordered the Midnight epic edition. It was a little bumpy, per usual, but we made it. We would be testing, but transmog is unavailable until next week, so it’s literally unplayable. BlizzCon was announced and early bird tickets were already sold out, but you can buy full price tickets next week. (They did not actually talk about Battlestar Galactica. I was memeing).

We have a round of bad news from the other games, because NetEase pulled funding from a lot of indie studios. But it’s not all bad, because Steam has an event highlighting games that feature animals, so our unplayed list just keeps getting longer.

Plus, Hearthsteel. We’re trying to speak positively about this new paid currently specifically earmarked for decor, which you apparently have to buy multiples of like every other decor. So. yep. Positive.
