Blizzard Watch Podcast

Special guest site writer Nick Marino joins us as we discuss the massive amount of news that dropped this week about WoW’s next expansion The War Within.

Join us as we discuss the smaller delights found in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3, trying to keep up with all of the seasons/battle pass/limited time event grinds across multiple games, and what recent single player fantasy games (other than Baldur's Gate 3) is equivalent to Cyberpunk 2077’s engaging mix of massive world building, story driven quests, and modern graphics.

Join us as we discuss the new adorable duck reward from this year’s Noblegarden event, Diablo 4’s first PTR, what we’d like to see in the future for WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery, how Overwatch introduced a new hero but without all the extra stories usually surrounding the launch of a character, and we end on a deep discussion about Pirate Stitches and shark guns.

Join us as we discuss the recent Diablo 4 dev chat revealing the many quality of life improvements coming to the gearing system, the massive Dragonflight meta achievement that rewards the goodest of boys, and the new raid content coming to WoW Classic Season of Discovery and Wrath Classic.

Join us as we discuss Plunderstorm, the surprise 60-person Battle Royale mode Blizzard just dropped for WoW (but not for WoW, it’s a thing.) We also cover our varying levels of excitement and disappointment over the new Hero specializations revealed for The War Within, wax nostalgic for the new 10th anniversary Hearthstone cards referencing the game’s past, and wrap up with the question we’ve been asking ourselves a lot lately, "Does Overwatch even know what it's trying to be anymore?"

Join us as we discuss the idea of Diablo 4 making more cosmetics attainable through in-game activities, the Hearthstone 10th anniversary event in WoW along with all the limited-time shinies that it drops, the confusing dungeon difficulty changes coming to Dragonflight Season 4, the irony of the upcoming launch of WoW Cataclysm Classic, and the on-going mystery around WoW patch 10.2.6.

Join us as we discuss the latest Diablo 4 including the good (Vampiric powers!), the bad (more repetitive endgame content!), and the fabulous (dapper feather hats!).

Join us as we discuss how slow leveling, complicated itemization, and lack of early game unique drops make for an unfun Diablo 4.

Join us as we discuss Diablo 4 coming to the Xbox Game Pass soon, the Nintendo Direct event this week, the launch of the latest ARPG competitor to Diablo, Last Epoch, and what we’ve learned about Blizzard’s ill-fated untitled survival game.

Join us as we discuss the new “no trading/no auction house” mechanic coming to WoW Classic Hardcore, Hearthstone’s 10th anniversary along with its just announced Whizbang’s Workshop expansion, and why all the race/class restrictions should be lifted from WoW.
