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.

Goodbye, little sun shadow.

World of Warcraft's next expansion The War Within brings the race known as the Earthen to the forefront, with the first two zones largely focusing on their story in Khaz Algar, and adding them as an Allied Race early in the expansion.
