I mean, not just Torghast -- I feel like the return of Legion's Mage Tower in patch 9.1.5 and the Horrific Visions from Battle for Azeroth should also have taught them a few things -- but I'm definitely curious what you guys think the Torghast (and to a lesser extent, the Maw and Korthia) experience should teach Blizzard about making soloable content for players.

Diablo is a straightforward dungeon crawl, in terms of its gameplay.

I mean, we had N'Zoth in Battle for Azeroth, the Burning Legion and Sargeras in Legion, Gul'dan and the Legion in Warlords of Draenor... at this point, it feels to me like maybe we need a departure of some kind from the experiences we have been having in our WoW expansions.

Last time we saw our intrepid adventurers, they were crashing a magical ship into the Infinite Battlefields of Acheron, meeting up with a goddess of War, and learning that their long time enemy was attempting to breach the Eye of the Maker, a fantastic magical location where all sorts of bad stuff could well happen.

Maybe you haven't really been playing Shadowlands and you're thinking about coming back, but you're intimidated by the whole process of getting Archivist's Codex reputation.

At BlizzCon 2019, the Overwatch 2 cinematic blew the roof off the place.

We've been hearing a lot about what's coming for Dungeons and Dragons, and though we can't say exactly what's on the horizon for the game, we can make some informed guesses.

Is it cool or weird that there's a Hearthstone mode that doesn't have anything to do with playing cards?

I’m as surprised as you guys! I mean, I literally didn’t want to play it, I just did it because our beloved EiC Liz Harper made the point that I should probably give it a shot if we were going to talk about it during the podcast. And then I did play it, and… I kind of liked it? I mean, it didn’t become an obsession or anything, but I enjoyed the experience and I felt like this is what the Garrison mission table should have been — not just selecting characters and sending them off to fight, but actually controlling them, choosing how they attack and what tactics they use.

I mean, it’s not particularly deep, but I’m not even past level 7 yet, so we’ll see how it feels once I get better at it. Regardless, I actually had fun playing it and I’m not adverse to continuing to play it.

Oh, and I’m listening to L7’s Pretend We’re Dead as part of my I’m awake at 4 am and I need music to function playlist. It’s also got Wolves Without Teeth by Of Monsters and Men on there, which is pretty dang good, you should try that out.
