Dan O'Halloran

Join as we discuss the launch of The War Within expansion pre-patch this week including the extended maintenance and weird patch day bugs.

Join us as we discuss how we think the story of Magni and Brann Bronzebeard might play out in the upcoming expansion, various interpretations of The Prophecy of The Boy King (spoiler: it may not be about Anduin), and the possible connection between the Nerubians and the underground spider-elf hybrids known as drider-- uh the Fal’dorei of Suramar.

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.

Blizzard Watch writer Cory Taylor joins us as we discuss Blizzard’s announcement on how they will make it easier to get your weekly gear cache in the upcoming WoW expansion, Warcraft Rumble’s Season 7 content delay, Hearthstone’s ban of the most adorable card ever, Overwatch 2’s Summer Games uncharacteristically quiet launch, and how to get the new Owl mount in WoW.

In this episode, we discuss the updated D&D rulebooks rolling out soon, the impact of the recent massive layoffs at Wizards of the Coast on both their own products and the larger industry, the role of AI in game development, and the importance of community trust for TTRPG companies to be successful.

Join us as we discuss if WoW is a narrative-first game, the evolution of the portrayal of goblins, and if Anduin taking center stage in the upcoming expansion means Sylvanas will also make an appearance.

Join us as we discuss WoW’s return to the Chinese market including the World First cash incentive, Ethereal weapons returning to Diablo 3 with Season 32, our reaction to the latest War Within class changes, and thoughts and prayers for Diablo 4’s Season 5.

From the Old God-imbued Saronite to the crystalized blood of Azeroth we call Azerite, many of the raw materials we use for crafting in WoW have a deeper connection to myths and legends in the game.

Join us as we discuss how the new features coming with Diablo 4 Season 5 don’t make a compelling argument to play it on a Seasonal realm over an Eternal realm, the bad luck protection with WoW’s Midsummer Fire Festival rare drops, and when we think The War Within prematch will drop this summer.

From Shadow Priest artifact weapon to retconned manipulator of Azeroth’s history to the Old God-adjacent big bad of The War Within, we discuss what we know about the void entity known as Xal’atath.
