4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,080
No, it's not.
5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Oh, yes, it is. While Shifty
was rubbing elbows with stars at
6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,080
the Crummies, I was back at
hq, scrubbing toilets, cleaning up
7
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,920
after you two ball bozos and
your, quote, celebrity cheese platter.
8
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,890
So now I'm building my own
empire. Yeah, you. You listening?

paper. That's leadership, baby.
13
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:49,210
Nope, that's a lawsuit.

16
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:51,210
And good Tuesday morning,
everybody. Welcome. This is episode
17
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:56,810
22 of Azeroth Morning Radio.
What would you ask the daughter of
18
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:59,650
the sea? Well, Jaina, first
I'd ask for you to help me get a
19
00:01:59,650 --> 00:02:03,270
date with your mom, but since
that's not possible. Possible. My
20
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:07,790
name's Jibs, and I'm joined by
2010's ugliest Morgan. His name is
21
00:02:07,790 --> 00:02:08,350
Cash.
22
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:11,630
Dude, you want to date with
Jaina's mom?
23
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:16,190
Dude, she is single and I'm
just saying. I'm just saying.
24
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,390
Yeah, Jibs has got good taste.
25
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:20,590
True.
26
00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:21,870
She party well.
27
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:25,630
Hey, that's one less dude to
be in competition for Jaina for me.
28
00:02:25,630 --> 00:02:34,570
So just have right at it,
buddy. Oh, my gosh, dude, the intro.
29
00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:37,450
Grifty is pissed.
30
00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:40,410
He's not happy. He's not happy
about cleaning the toilets, man.
31
00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,690
Turns out you go to the
grummies and you leave one out, they.
32
00:02:43,770 --> 00:02:44,810
They get feisty.
33
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:49,010
Well, we had to pick one, and
Shifty got the coin flip. But now
34
00:02:49,010 --> 00:02:53,450
it seems as if Grifty is
giving us one ply toilet paper. So
35
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:57,290
I would just say this for. For
at least for a while. Poop at home,
36
00:02:57,740 --> 00:02:59,260
because that spells a breach.
37
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:05,820
It's a contact contract breach
right there. Literally. Yeah. Oh.
38
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:06,860
How's it going, buddy?
39
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:10,260
It's going good, man. It's
going good. I had. I've had a very
40
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:13,619
busy week. We got some rain
here in Southern California, which
41
00:03:13,619 --> 00:03:19,260
is absolutely nuts and not
normal, but yeah, we had several
42
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:24,670
days of squalls, and we had a
tsunami warning today and all kinds
43
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:28,990
of stuff going on. So been.
Been busy at work with that, but
44
00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:33,030
I have. I. I might have had a
revelation here over the last week,
45
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:36,470
buddy. And it's a little late
in the game that I'm sharing this
46
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:37,710
with you and the peeps.
47
00:03:37,790 --> 00:03:39,230
You're ordering a toupee?
48
00:03:39,949 --> 00:03:41,990
No. Oh, not happening.
49
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:42,350
All right?
50
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:47,070
That's a 70s style, and you
would never see me with a toupee.
51
00:03:47,070 --> 00:03:49,390
I owned it, bro. I own this.
52
00:03:50,490 --> 00:03:52,730
Yeah, the only thing you owned
was a toupee.
53
00:03:55,210 --> 00:04:01,810
This pure freaking shine on my
head. This Mr. Clean. I own it and
54
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:02,650
I love it.
55
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:05,850
I know. Aerodynamic, baby. I
can't imagine another way. Can you
56
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:08,970
imagine us with hair now? If
we grew our hair out, what we'd look
57
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:09,290
like?
58
00:04:10,570 --> 00:04:14,810
My daughter sees pictures of
me when I got married and had a lush
59
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:19,600
head of hair, and she
seriously grosses out. Yeah, it's
60
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,280
like, ew.
61
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Yeah. Yeah, I have. My wife
refuses to get rid of a high school
62
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,360
picture of me on our cupboards
in our kitchen for whatever reason.
63
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
And there it is, you know,
sideburns. Have we called them sideboards
64
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,720
back then? So you have
sideburns all the way down, you know.
65
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,520
Oh, yeah.
66
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Well. Well, you guys were high
school sweethearts, right?
67
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Well, I met her when I was. I
can't say her age, but I was 15 and
68
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,080
she was on her way into
college, so. Yeah.
69
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Oh, that a girl. Well, see, my
wife did the same thing because Molly's.
70
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Molly's significantly older
than I am.
71
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Yeah.
72
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,400
But I'm. Yeah. And so my
daughter's called her cradle robber
73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,800
for pretty much her entire
speaking existence. But I have news.
74
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,160
Okay, which news? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
75
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,080
What do you got, man?
76
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,200
We can derail a show.
77
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,800
We can derail with the best of them.
78
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Right? But trains Right back
on the tracks, baby. Okay, so I did
79
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,330
a bunch of stuff on my hunter
this week. Okay. One of which I want
80
00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:16,730
to talk about with you as we
get this show started. But I did
81
00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:22,250
a bunch of just catch up
mechanic stuff. Yeah, right. So I
82
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:26,410
did the event, got some base
gear, and then I just. I started
83
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,890
going for it, running delves,
doing, you know, some of the lower
84
00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:35,010
mythics, doing the. The catch
up event where you get the. The cartel
85
00:05:35,010 --> 00:05:39,650
coins. That was all very real
for me. And I watched the power creep
86
00:05:40,050 --> 00:05:44,850
on my BM Hunter. You guys can
call me whatever you want, right?
87
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:48,770
Call it whatever you want to
call it. I really like BM Hunter.
88
00:05:48,770 --> 00:05:53,890
It's super fun and I'm kind of
getting that itch to DPS again. So
89
00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:57,890
here's the revelation. I'm
going to main my Hunter in Midnight
90
00:05:58,450 --> 00:06:04,450
and not my Druid, which is
crazy because I just did. I just
91
00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:07,210
very recently did the. You
know, you grab all your characters
92
00:06:07,210 --> 00:06:10,280
and you get the add on and you
see what your total time played was.
93
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:10,990
Yeah.
94
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:18,830
And it was embarrassing. But
dude, like 60 of my play time across
95
00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:24,270
all characters in the life of
my account was on a Druid. So yeah,
96
00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:27,350
it's gonna be a little
different for me playing 100 this
97
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:29,510
time around. But I'm actually,
I'm very excited about. I'm having
98
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:31,550
a blast with them. So much fun.
99
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:35,030
Yeah, well, we'll see how well
you hold that Hunter whenever we
100
00:06:35,030 --> 00:06:38,480
get in our everyone hits max.
And then we have our friends that
101
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,040
are all going to be wanting to
push content. We'll see. We'll see
102
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,480
how long you hold to the hunter.
103
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,000
Oh, are you seriously
testicular tickling me right now
104
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,680
about switching classes?
105
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,240
You know how we know how you
are. You flop around like a wet noodle
106
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,320
between your classes.
107
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,720
We know how you are. It's not
a thing. I do not.
108
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,970
Look, on the other hand, I on
the other hand, pick and stick with
109
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:05,010
one class.
110
00:07:05,330 --> 00:07:09,290
So, yeah, okay. Until we talk
about that new trailer that Blizzard
111
00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:11,130
just put out and what you were
playing today.
112
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:13,970
That's right. This kids, is a
term I learned from my wife called
113
00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:15,010
gaslighting.
114
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:20,330
Yes. Okay, so last thing.
Okay, last thing before you get into
115
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:24,130
your thing and I want to talk
about this today. Yes, we tried PvP
116
00:07:24,130 --> 00:07:24,930
training grounds.
117
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:26,450
Yeah, we did.
118
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,280
We did a lot.
119
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Yeah, we did.
120
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Training grounds. I'm just
going to toss that little grenade
121
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,120
under your chair. And how was
your week?
122
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320
It was great. I got beat up by
NPCs and training grounds.
123
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,840
Really though?
124
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,440
No, not really. It was
actually a lot of fun and come to
125
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,640
find out, a lot of PVPers
doing the same thing because they're
126
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,880
like, why get in a match and
potentially lose and be high stress
127
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280
when you can just go do
training grounds and get good, decent
128
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,140
honor? It's chill. You may die
every now and then, but for the most
129
00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:01,860
part you don't. You may lose
because they do beat you if your
130
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:02,860
team's not playing well.
131
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:03,500
Smart.
132
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:09,220
Yeah. I mean, and honestly,
rogues play near perfectly to a rogue.
133
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:11,980
You know, aside from the. Of
course they don't CC as much, but
134
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,820
my goodness, there's some
sneaky, sneaky rogue NPCs going around
135
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:17,420
in those training grounds.
136
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:21,180
Yeah, there is. The one thing
I did notice though, is like, say
137
00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:25,440
you're. Say you're guarding a
flag or something. Yeah, you're guarding
138
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,840
a flag. It's just maybe you
and another person or maybe you're
139
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,720
solo guarding a flag. And the
rogue will. The rogue will come.
140
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,920
There's no doubt. The rogues
coming to back cap if they can get
141
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,480
it. But they will take the
same exact line every single time.
142
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,920
And I can't expect them to be.
To have several different routes
143
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,520
they take. Right. That might
be a little over, you know, over
144
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,200
the top, but man, I would just
throw my trap and just sit there
145
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,510
and wait and I'd catch him
every time in the same exact spot.
146
00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:54,950
Yep.
147
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:59,310
So the AI is not perfect, but
man, what a challenge. It's a challenge.
148
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:03,630
If you want to get into PvP
and at least just taste it and learn
149
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:07,070
what the battlegrounds are
about, man, I cannot recommend the
150
00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:08,550
training grounds enough.
151
00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:13,030
Yeah, it's fun, honestly. And
it's super chill. It's so chill.
152
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:15,430
And everything you just said
is so true. It's a great way to get
153
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:18,230
in and learn your class if
you're on, if you're thinking about
154
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:21,270
healing, it's a great way to
get in and be, you know, just getting.
155
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:24,670
Learn how to heal. Whether and
they even. One thing I do genuinely
156
00:09:24,670 --> 00:09:28,750
love is that within the
training grounds, they allow for
157
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:31,510
people to be a tank or
whatever and just play as a tank.
158
00:09:31,510 --> 00:09:34,710
And so we're fighting against
blood DKs, you're fighting against
159
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:38,070
prop paladins, and it takes
forever to kill them. It's just fun.
160
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:40,990
I'm like, yeah, man, that's
how it should be. You should be allowed
161
00:09:40,990 --> 00:09:43,990
to have tanks. I mean, you can
in battlegrounds, you can do that
162
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:46,270
thing. But sometimes I've
noticed that it will take the slot
163
00:09:46,270 --> 00:09:50,480
of a healer and I'm just like,
man. And so, yeah, it's cool just
164
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,120
to. To go at it in there and
have a good time.
165
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Yeah, 100%. And it is. It's a
challenge. And I think the. The really
166
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,440
fun part is that it is very
rare because we've run. We run a
167
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,280
bunch. We ran a bunch. So we
got a really good feel of how they
168
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,120
play. But the fun thing is
that there's nobody's upset at each
169
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,400
other in there. No one's
yelling at each other. We've only.
170
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640
I think we only experienced it
maybe once or twice where somebody
171
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,240
would get on and be like,
really? We're going to lose this,
172
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,330
man. And we're just. We were
just laughing at him.
173
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:20,880
Oh, dude.
174
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,760
I couldn't help, like, are you
kidding me? Dude, you're in training
175
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,640
grounds. There's people in
here that, that don't, that don't
176
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,080
know the battleground very
well. So why don't you just like
177
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120
take on a teaching role
instead of getting upset over somebody
178
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
in the training ground?
179
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,440
Yeah. Yeah. It really is like
the last place to get upset over
180
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,320
anything. It's so chill. And
that catch that only ever happened
181
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,400
maybe like once or twice. But
anyway, it's been a good week in
182
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,990
Warcraft for me. A lot of time
on my Hunter. A lot. And between
183
00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:53,670
that and just kind of messing
around, getting some stuff ready,
184
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:58,550
clearing bags, made another
add on. A couple add ons. So it was,
185
00:10:58,550 --> 00:11:01,230
it was a good, it was a fun,
fun week. A good week.
186
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:05,590
And you're not getting away
with it. You have to talk about the
187
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:08,590
add ons you made this week
because they're fantastic.
188
00:11:08,590 --> 00:11:11,550
Okay, I will. Thank you. I
appreciate that. I made a second
189
00:11:11,790 --> 00:11:15,700
sister add on to set lock and
it's called item lock. You literally
190
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:18,140
can lock any item in your
inventory and when you do lock it,
191
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:21,220
it'll put a border over your
item. So you know it's locked, it's
192
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:23,540
not gonna get sold, you're not
gonna worry about it, whatever, blah,
193
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:25,700
blah, blah. Well, Jibs, why
don't you just add that to set lock?
194
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:29,180
Well, because it could break
other people's add ons that they
195
00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:32,460
already have and it's just
easier to keep it separated. And
196
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:36,900
then number two, cash. One
night was like, man, I wish I, I
197
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:39,220
don't know what you said. It
was like, I wish I had like a new
198
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,260
one of my pet was dead.
199
00:11:40,670 --> 00:11:43,550
Yeah. I said I wish there was
a better indicator for when your
200
00:11:43,550 --> 00:11:44,350
pet dies.
201
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:45,310
Yeah.
202
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:47,710
Other than just you spamming
skills that aren't working.
203
00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:48,350
Yeah.
204
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:49,030
Yeah.
205
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:55,750
So there's nat on called your
pet is dead. Literally pop up on
206
00:11:55,750 --> 00:12:00,070
your screen with a sound
choice of your choosing that your
207
00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:04,630
pet is dead and it will remain
on the screen and you can size the
208
00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:08,270
font. Be sure to read the add
on description on curse forge for
209
00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:11,990
that one and you can make it
all the way up to size 64 font if
210
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:14,650
you want want like you can
make it big and it'll disappear once
211
00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:20,090
you start to res your pet and
it's. It's working like it works
212
00:12:20,090 --> 00:12:22,690
really well. I can't complain.
213
00:12:22,690 --> 00:12:27,050
It, it's actually fun being in
Discord with Jibs when he's working
214
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:31,810
on these things because if you
can picture Little tiny Anakin on
215
00:12:31,810 --> 00:12:37,610
his pod racer and he's going,
it's working, it's working.
216
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:42,490
That's exactly right. That's
exactly right. So anyway, that's,
217
00:12:42,570 --> 00:12:45,850
they're, they're, they're on
Curse Forge. And so yeah, just hopefully
218
00:12:45,850 --> 00:12:48,210
it helps folks. That's the
whole goal of doing this. It's not
219
00:12:48,210 --> 00:12:51,410
for like I care about the
downloads, like the, the people who
220
00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:54,810
make stuff like you know, DBM
or Radio I.O. like those, everyone
221
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:57,130
who makes those big add ons,
like they're the, you know, they're
222
00:12:57,130 --> 00:12:59,730
the real workhorses. This is
just to help some folks. So hopefully
223
00:12:59,730 --> 00:13:02,930
it helps some folks. But
anyway, this week on the show, folks,
224
00:13:02,930 --> 00:13:05,650
we got a jam packed episode
for you. We're going to be doing
225
00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:09,010
a quick recap on our War
within awards show at the Grumby's
226
00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:13,370
last week. You guys, I tell
you, I think, I think you all liked
227
00:13:13,370 --> 00:13:15,650
it. So we're definitely going
to be bringing that back in a couple
228
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:19,130
years. Into the next
expansion, two grown men talk about
229
00:13:19,130 --> 00:13:23,130
Etsy, AKA us. Blizzard
promises more player customization.
230
00:13:23,450 --> 00:13:27,610
We gush over Blizzard's latest
animated video drop and say thank
231
00:13:27,610 --> 00:13:32,010
you to some folks who have
helped us be better players. All
232
00:13:32,010 --> 00:13:34,850
right, so we're going to get
started. But before we do, maybe
233
00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:37,210
you're a casual, maybe you're
working nine to five, maybe you're
234
00:13:37,210 --> 00:13:40,310
working the weekends. Folks,
here, it's Warcraft. For the rest
235
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:46,110
of us, this show is for you.
Welcome home, adventurers.
236
00:13:46,350 --> 00:13:50,830
Does your home smell like damp
boots, wet dog, old spell components,
237
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:56,830
or whatever that is in the
corner? Then you need gnome air fresheners.
238
00:13:56,830 --> 00:14:00,350
The only air freshener
scientifically engineered to overpower
239
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:06,250
reality. Ah, that's better.
Choose from our most popular scents.
240
00:14:06,570 --> 00:14:11,450
Freshly washed Lab coat.
Mountain Breeze. Lavender, but aggressive.
241
00:14:13,690 --> 00:14:18,490
Each gnome air canister
releases a controlled burst of purified
242
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:25,770
aroma particles. Controlled.
And don't worry, Gnome air is safe
243
00:14:25,770 --> 00:14:28,594
for people, pets, and most
magical familiars. We shall reap
244
00:14:28,594 --> 00:14:28,744
your soul. Side effects may
include sneezing clarity, sudden
245
00:14:28,744 --> 00:14:28,777
happiness, and mild evacuation
of the premises. So stop living in
246
00:14:28,777 --> 00:14:28,810
stink and start living in
science. Gnome air. If it smells
247
00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:28,825
clean, we did it, right.
248
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:50,380
Yow. This is Nixally. When I'm
not starting the Dimensius fight
249
00:14:50,380 --> 00:14:50,700
by mistake, I'm listening to
Azeroth morning radio.
250
00:15:06,950 --> 00:15:10,430
All right, welcome back,
everybody. Thank you so much for
251
00:15:10,430 --> 00:15:14,070
hanging out with us here
today. And as we get started, well,
252
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:15,510
it's the hero's call.
253
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:23,350
Heroes call friends. Jibs and
I had about as much fun as we could
254
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:30,000
possibly had making a show for
you last week. If you listen, then,
255
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,880
you know, but we had a little
different format last week and we
256
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,320
did something called the
Grummy Awards, which of course was
257
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,080
a play on words for the Grammy
Awards, but ours was about the war
258
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,840
within and our final thoughts
on the War within as an expansion.
259
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,720
And we had a bunch of awards
that we gave out in true Grammy fashion.
260
00:15:53,650 --> 00:15:58,290
And it all took place at the
Galagio Hotel down in the Undermine.
261
00:15:58,450 --> 00:16:03,130
And I'm not kidding you, like,
we absolutely had a blast. There
262
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:06,930
was a ton of laughs and I'd
make a bit, send it to him, he'd
263
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:09,890
give me laughing emojis and,
and you know, we talk about where
264
00:16:09,890 --> 00:16:13,330
he's gonna go in the show and
he did the same and, and it was a
265
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:19,140
massive edit to, to get the
show where we wanted it to be just
266
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:22,300
because it's different from,
from our normal format here. So,
267
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:25,540
you know, you. He didn't. When
Jibs was doing this over the weekend.
268
00:16:25,540 --> 00:16:29,340
I know it's. I know it took
you some hours to, to get everything
269
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:32,100
where you wanted it to be and,
and I commend you for that because
270
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:35,500
I think, I personally think
the show came out really good and,
271
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:39,820
and seemingly everybody liked
it. Like, we're getting a ton of
272
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:42,940
really good feedback on the Grummies.
273
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,060
Yeah, yeah, it was, that was a
ton of fun and we're so thankful
274
00:16:46,060 --> 00:16:48,840
to so many of you who liked it
and enjoyed it. Got a lot, like you
275
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440
said, a lot of great feedback.
It was a fun episode to release because
276
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,840
also in addition to releasing
that episode, we released our brand
277
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,960
new animated visuals that is
happening now on YouTube. Thank you
278
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,760
to Lucky Dart for that, by the
way. Great artist, helped us out,
279
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560
walked us, we walked them
through what we were looking for.
280
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840
And so you can check that out
over at YouTube. You may see a goblin
281
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440
hand moving every now and
then, Steaming cup of coffee, some
282
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,960
candles, and oddly enough, a
rat. So there's all kinds of fun.
283
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Stormwind rat. Stormwood Rats, baby.
284
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,579
That's right. That's right. So
they took they a great job capturing
285
00:17:20,579 --> 00:17:24,979
the AMR feel and bringing it
into World of Warcraft. So, yeah,
286
00:17:24,979 --> 00:17:28,059
it was a blast doing that last
week. It was great too because now
287
00:17:28,059 --> 00:17:30,339
we're like, oh, we want to do
this next time around, we want to
288
00:17:30,339 --> 00:17:33,099
add this next time around.
And, and so we were already talking
289
00:17:33,099 --> 00:17:34,979
today about, you know, what
we're going to be doing in a couple
290
00:17:34,979 --> 00:17:38,099
years from now for, for
something like that. So, yeah, thank
291
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:41,419
you everybody for the great
support, the great comments, great
292
00:17:41,419 --> 00:17:45,499
support, all around and. Yeah,
yeah, I look forward to a couple
293
00:17:45,499 --> 00:17:48,500
years and more so today for
what we got going on in the show.
294
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:52,060
Yeah, we had. And we know
there were some really good suggestions
295
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:55,820
about some things that we
missed. You know, just some. Some
296
00:17:55,820 --> 00:18:01,660
other characters and areas
that we could have put in for the
297
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:04,820
awards that we gave out. And
you're absolutely right. But, you
298
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:07,020
know, at some point we had to
whittle down the show a little bit,
299
00:18:07,020 --> 00:18:09,540
so it was a little bit more
palatable. Not a three hour show,
300
00:18:09,540 --> 00:18:12,660
but. Yeah, but you guys were
right. We did miss a couple things.
301
00:18:13,150 --> 00:18:16,950
But what we did not miss is
the fact that the Undermine was the
302
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:21,030
Runaway. It took a lot of
people's hearts and we got a lot
303
00:18:21,030 --> 00:18:25,150
of good comments about how
they agreed with our award choices,
304
00:18:25,790 --> 00:18:29,190
especially the Undermine. It
was just a. It was a runaway to me.
305
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:31,990
And you know, every Grammys,
like, if you watch the real Grammys,
306
00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:34,510
I really don't, but I did when
I was a kid, watched them a bunch.
307
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:38,030
There's always a runaway.
There's always one movie or one actor
308
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:39,230
that just takes home everything.
309
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:39,970
Oh, yeah.
310
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,200
And I think that's where the
Undermine landed in the War Within.
311
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,880
So anyway, thank you. If you
haven't heard it, it is episode 21.
312
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,640
Go take a listen to that. Now
is the is a great time because midnight
313
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,800
is literally upon us. It's
launching next week and that brings
314
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,200
up a real quick fail of the
week. Want to hear my fail of the
315
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,960
week, Jibs?
316
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,120
Yeah, go on. I know where
you're going.
317
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:14,100
Yeah. So as we all know, the
early access for midnight is February
318
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:16,740
26th and 27th. Correct?
319
00:19:16,980 --> 00:19:17,540
Yeah.
320
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:20,740
Guess when Cash signed up for
a two day class.
321
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:23,060
You're a big dumb dummy. You
did it, didn't you?
322
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:28,260
February 26th and 27th, I will
be in class.
323
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:33,460
Hey. Yeah, don't worry, I'll
log in, change your name, do big
324
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:34,300
dub dummy.
325
00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:38,860
As if on cue. I love it.
326
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:42,940
Oh, my gosh. Well, you know
what? The citizens of the town that
327
00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:46,460
I protect will be in a little
bit better hands because I'll have
328
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:48,180
some fresh knowledge for them.
329
00:19:48,180 --> 00:19:48,780
There you go.
330
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:52,220
Protect your town. So you're welcome.
331
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:53,580
I love it.
332
00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:57,780
Yeah. Interesting. Okay,
moving on. We wanted to do something
333
00:19:57,780 --> 00:20:00,940
a little bit different this
week and this is truly different.
334
00:20:00,940 --> 00:20:04,590
This is a topic that we have
not touched on, but we are absolutely
335
00:20:04,590 --> 00:20:10,350
need to because I have become
addicted to Etsy and yes, I'm a grown
336
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:15,990
ass man talking about Etsy. If
you're a World of Warcraft fan and
337
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:22,270
you like decorations and
trinkets and statues and anything
338
00:20:22,270 --> 00:20:25,190
you can think of in the World
of Warcraft universe and you haven't
339
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:29,820
been to Etsy yet, do that
thing. Because I have found so, so
340
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:33,580
much cool stuff on there and I
have some examples here. I have to
341
00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:39,340
give a massive shout out to
Beta Tudo Studio and I believe this
342
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:45,940
gentleman is out of Arizona
and I have been browsing Etsy and
343
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:52,500
I found his creation, one of
his creations. It is a wanted poster
344
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:58,870
for Hogger, the original
Hogger quest with. And it's. It's
345
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:06,670
like an engraved wood sign in
a frame. And I, I believe it's. It's
346
00:21:06,670 --> 00:21:10,710
a five by seven. I believe
it's a five by seven, but it is the
347
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:16,350
exact font, the exact quest
text. The quest rewards everything
348
00:21:16,670 --> 00:21:23,200
on a wanted poster for Hogger.
Fantastic and super reasonable with
349
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,640
his pricing. But, man, I
picked it up, it got delivered yesterday
350
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,480
and I am in love with this
thing. So it's definitely going up
351
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,280
in this studio. Very, very
happy about it. So. And Ryan reached
352
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:43,720
out over. Just over, over Etsy
and the shipping was fantastic and
353
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,060
he dropped me a 10% coupon in
the packaging and I just. What a
354
00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:52,660
fun, nostalgic product for
Warcraft fans. So if, if you're out
355
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:57,740
there and something like that,
like, sparks your fancy 100%, I recommend
356
00:21:57,740 --> 00:22:05,260
it. It is. Again, it's Beta
Tudo Studio. B E A T I T U D O Go
357
00:22:05,260 --> 00:22:09,140
look it up. It's awesome. I
have a few more here. I have a few
358
00:22:09,140 --> 00:22:09,580
more here.
359
00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:12,660
I'm looking at. I'm looking at
it right now. It is. It looks like
360
00:22:12,660 --> 00:22:15,860
it was like wood burned. It
looks really cool. Yeah. Like, even
361
00:22:15,860 --> 00:22:19,810
the, the etching for the
rewards, like the footman tunic,
362
00:22:19,810 --> 00:22:22,730
the balanced fighting stick,
or Stormwood card leggings, I love
363
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:22,970
it.
364
00:22:23,210 --> 00:22:26,650
So what I'll probably do if
anybody out there follows me on X,
365
00:22:27,290 --> 00:22:30,810
it's Cash Quests. I will
probably take a couple pictures,
366
00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:33,050
these pictures of some of the
things I'm gonna talk about here
367
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:35,890
and put them up because
they're Etsy purchases. And I'm just.
368
00:22:35,890 --> 00:22:38,610
That's why I'm in love with
Etsy. It's so much fun. Here's another
369
00:22:38,610 --> 00:22:41,970
one. There's one called Chroma
Print Studio. Actually, by the way,
370
00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:45,620
before I do that, Ryan, thank
you. I know that we've been talking
371
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:49,580
a little bit through Etsy and
I love your product and I hope we
372
00:22:49,580 --> 00:22:52,140
bring some more people to your
product because it's. It was. It's
373
00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:56,620
super cool and very ingenious.
So well done. Next one I want to
374
00:22:56,620 --> 00:23:00,620
talk about is Chroma Print
Studio. They will do a World of Warcraft
375
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:07,260
character that is personalized
as an art print for you. So amazing
376
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:11,620
ratings. And their description
is high quality print of your World
377
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:14,830
of Warcraft character. Choose
your favorite picture of your wow
378
00:23:14,830 --> 00:23:17,550
character with your best
transmog and I will create a piece
379
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:21,150
of digital art for you.
They're gorgeous.
380
00:23:21,310 --> 00:23:22,910
Oh, these are awesome looking.
381
00:23:23,870 --> 00:23:28,270
Yes. To have your character,
the first thing I thought of was
382
00:23:28,830 --> 00:23:35,230
my hunter with. With gray
watch, which is his. That's my hunter's
383
00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:40,830
owl putting him up, like
having him flying behind him or something
384
00:23:40,830 --> 00:23:45,420
in this perfect pose with the
bow on. Oh my God. So that might
385
00:23:45,420 --> 00:23:51,300
be my next one. There is one
that I'd like to show and I know
386
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:54,140
that there's some folks in
here that can actually see my camera,
387
00:23:54,140 --> 00:23:56,100
so I'm going to show them this one.
388
00:23:56,420 --> 00:24:01,140
He's sliding over. He's
grabbing his product. Oh, yeah. I'm
389
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:02,020
so glad you're doing this.
390
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:05,940
Here's the other one. So this
one was a gift from my daughter and
391
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:11,660
this one was also from Etsy
called Z Xenowares XZ or excuse me,
392
00:24:11,660 --> 00:24:18,700
X E N O Wears Us. And it's
described. I think it's thrall, but
393
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:23,940
it's described as an orc troll
ogre shaman headphone stand, which
394
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:27,940
is. It's perfect. And so it
comes not painted, but I painted
395
00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:32,660
that with all my miniature
painting stuff. And I'll also take
396
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:35,870
a picture of this and put it
on X because I think it's amazing.
397
00:24:36,110 --> 00:24:40,630
But my daughter bought it for
me for Christmas and I've had such
398
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:46,390
a fun time painting him that I
just. I wanted to talk about it on
399
00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:50,910
the show. So if you happen to
be a miniature painter. I dabble.
400
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:55,630
I'm trying to get better at
it. But check out Etsy. There are
401
00:24:55,870 --> 00:25:03,100
so many 3D printed resin
paintable models from World of Warcraft
402
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:08,180
that you can get on Etsy if
you're into it. Now, I have one more
403
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:14,300
creator that I really want to
talk about, but I can't because I
404
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:19,260
purchased one and I purchased
one for Jibs and it's currently being
405
00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:22,140
shipped to his house and I
will not reveal what it is. I'm going
406
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,820
to let him do it when he gets it.
407
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:24,620
That's nice.
408
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:29,070
But maybe we can talk about
that one on next week's show. After
409
00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:31,990
you get it, we can talk about
that creator on Etsy.
410
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:35,110
Yeah, absolutely. We'll post
it in our patron channels too. Yeah,
411
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:36,110
man, that's awesome. Thank you.
412
00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:39,150
Yeah, thank you very much. So
anyway, the whole point of this was,
413
00:25:39,310 --> 00:25:42,870
you know, this is 100%
community driven stuff. There are
414
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:46,070
some amazing Etsy shops out
there and they make the things that
415
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:49,790
you cannot buy in the Blizzard
store and they might like title it
416
00:25:49,790 --> 00:25:52,910
something else, but it's very
recognizable as Warcraft stuff. So
417
00:25:52,910 --> 00:25:56,340
go check them out if you
haven't done that. Not just the ones,
418
00:25:56,340 --> 00:26:00,340
you know, that I detailed here
today, there's a bunch of Warcraft
419
00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:00,740
stuff.
420
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:02,460
So do it.
421
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:09,460
Hooray for Etsy. Breaking news
brought to all of you
422
00:26:09,540 --> 00:26:15,220
by the Goblin News Network.
Blizzard pledges more player customization
423
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:19,460
interview with Windows Central
is coming to us from wowhead.com
424
00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:24,810
all right, folks, so Blizzard
confirmed that more racial housing
425
00:26:24,810 --> 00:26:28,770
styles are coming. This
includes support for Goblins and
426
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:32,170
gnomes. Right now, players
have had to improvise, so building
427
00:26:32,170 --> 00:26:36,170
Goblin style homes using
undermined decor. But the team says
428
00:26:36,170 --> 00:26:40,410
they don't want players
waiting years for proper racial themes.
429
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:45,330
They also said that this won't
be painfully slow rollout like heritage
430
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:50,090
armor. They also, you know,
it's funny that they say that, like,
431
00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:54,060
I never really considered. And
maybe it was because of the time,
432
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:56,540
like we. I don't know if we
were in between wow or what, but
433
00:26:56,540 --> 00:26:58,980
like when they started
bringing heritage armor to the game,
434
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:02,860
I never really thought, like
it took forever. Like I just, whenever
435
00:27:02,860 --> 00:27:05,180
it show up, I'm like, oh, new
heritage armor, you know, even if
436
00:27:05,180 --> 00:27:07,420
it's not my race, like the
night elves. Even when they got theirs,
437
00:27:07,420 --> 00:27:10,540
I'm like, oh, that's cool, you
know, but yeah, yeah, whatever.
438
00:27:10,540 --> 00:27:11,300
It's night elves.
439
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,660
Who cares? Yeah, you know, I
do. Oh, my bad.
440
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:18,710
I like my night elves. No, I'm
with you on that one. I think the
441
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:21,910
funny thing is that maybe that
we don't realize because, like, we
442
00:27:21,910 --> 00:27:25,230
don't scour the forums, we
look at the forms when it's. When
443
00:27:25,230 --> 00:27:28,390
there's poignant information
we're looking for, but we're not
444
00:27:28,390 --> 00:27:30,990
like, you know, like, there's barflies.
445
00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:31,710
Yeah.
446
00:27:31,710 --> 00:27:34,670
You know, men and women and
barfly. They can be barflies, right?
447
00:27:34,670 --> 00:27:35,150
Yeah.
448
00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:36,350
We're not farm flies.
449
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:39,830
Nope. I also like to stay in a
certain bubble too. Like, I don't
450
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:42,550
like to go. There's just a ton
of bashing on the game or a ton of
451
00:27:42,550 --> 00:27:46,270
negativity. Like, I'm, I'm
good, you know, so like, I like to
452
00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:50,550
stay in our bubble, you know,
like our, our audience, our friends,
453
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:53,390
you know, the patrons here.
It's just.
454
00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:57,270
Yeah, yeah. So like, to some
extent, we don't know all the things
455
00:27:57,270 --> 00:28:01,350
that people are like wanting
and crying about, queuing about.
456
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:02,030
Yeah.
457
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:06,030
So yeah, when they come out,
it's. For me it's, it's more Warcraft
458
00:28:06,030 --> 00:28:07,350
for my Warcraft box.
459
00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:07,990
That's true.
460
00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:08,670
So I love it.
461
00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:11,800
That's right. They also
revealed something bigger. Housing
462
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,720
systems may not always be
limited to instanced neighborhoods.
463
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,240
The team has already discussed
how housing tech could support quests,
464
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:28,040
activities and events in the
main world of Azeroth. However, they
465
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,800
emphasized the current
priorities, optimization and support.
466
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,880
They also noted that players
building traps, jumping puzzles and
467
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,720
user generated content in
their homes has helped them understand
468
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:41,390
what players enjoy and is
influencing future priorities. Buddy,
469
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:44,990
does that not sound a little
bit like. Remember when Archeage
470
00:28:44,990 --> 00:28:47,950
came out and you had like your
home out in the world kind of thing?
471
00:28:48,270 --> 00:28:49,150
You remember that?
472
00:28:49,550 --> 00:28:53,790
Yeah. It says housing systems
though. I don't know if that necessarily
473
00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:58,910
means housing because that to
me, that I don't. How are they gonna
474
00:28:58,910 --> 00:29:00,670
do that? You know what I mean?
475
00:29:00,670 --> 00:29:03,550
Hey, I tell you what though.
How cool would it be for L1 forest
476
00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:07,620
along the road? You know, it's
like. It's not just the forest as
477
00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:10,860
much, it's forest. Yes. But
you also start seeing some homes,
478
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:15,340
some little, you know, like
people could go off and that's your
479
00:29:15,340 --> 00:29:15,660
home.
480
00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:19,460
I'm all about it. I mean even
if they, even if they were to instance
481
00:29:19,460 --> 00:29:24,380
it like when it's out there.
But like you run past the threshold,
482
00:29:24,620 --> 00:29:28,700
you know, or past that, that
mesh in, in the game. I'm talking
483
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:31,260
like in game systems now, you
run past that mesh and then all of
484
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:33,480
a sudden you're fazed.
485
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,280
Yeah.
486
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,360
Which would be great.
487
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,960
Yeah. You know, it'd be a
really cool way to kind of fill some
488
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,760
of those old zones, you know,
get people back in that area again,
489
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,640
people back in that world, you
know, that, that section of the world
490
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,000
and, and I mean housing's done
a great. Regardless of what they
491
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,960
choose to do. I'll die on this
hill easily. Housing has done so
492
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,240
many good things for this
game, especially for getting people
493
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600
out in the world again, you
know, like still to this day. Yes.
494
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,680
We're along past the honeymoon
phase of housing. People are still
495
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,760
out in the world. They're
still out there getting their stuff,
496
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,120
they're still farming stuff,
they're still getting that lumber.
497
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,680
So, you know. Yeah, it's a win.
498
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,440
And what's crazy is it's not
even like. Has it been officially
499
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,000
released?
500
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,640
Nope, nope, not yet.
501
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,120
It. That comes with midnight, right?
502
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,520
It comes with midnight. Yeah.
503
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,280
So we just got the early
access to it because were die hards
504
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400
and we, you know, paid the
money to be into it and all that
505
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,960
stuff. So yeah, I think. I
think a lot of people that are coming
506
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,360
back to the game for midnight
are going to have a pretty big surprise
507
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,960
with the housing system and
hopefully enjoy it. I would really
508
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,120
like to see it get the love
that it deserves, you know, because
509
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,920
they put a lot of work and
we've talked about it like this is
510
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,130
one system that was not mailed
in. No, it was very well done. People
511
00:30:55,130 --> 00:30:58,570
are loving it and I would
really like to see. Just like delves.
512
00:30:58,570 --> 00:31:02,450
I would like to see further
development on these things that
513
00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:05,850
they're talking about. I love
how they hint at stuff they may not
514
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:09,770
always be limited to instanced neighborhoods.
515
00:31:09,770 --> 00:31:10,170
Yeah.
516
00:31:10,170 --> 00:31:11,810
What does it mean? What's in
the box?
517
00:31:11,890 --> 00:31:16,450
What's it mean? So the bigger
part of this article. Well, I shouldn't
518
00:31:16,450 --> 00:31:20,390
say bigger part. The other
half is on character customization.
519
00:31:20,550 --> 00:31:22,550
And this has kind of been
discussed from the community for
520
00:31:22,550 --> 00:31:25,910
a long time. I know we've.
We've talked about it. Blizzard acknowledged
521
00:31:25,910 --> 00:31:30,230
there is no firm roadmap yet
for new racial cosmetics. Instead
522
00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:34,230
of small drops here and there.
Oh. Though like heritage armor, they're
523
00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:39,190
looking at a larger, more
comprehensive project. They've even
524
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:42,270
discussed improving character
animations. That though that is not
525
00:31:42,270 --> 00:31:46,240
coming soon. Blizzard also
addressed cosmetic clutter. So over
526
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:51,920
the years, many talents, toys,
abilities, they've. They've added
527
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,320
visual and audio effects, but
they weren't designed to work together.
528
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,960
So the team would like to
integrate cosmetic glyphs into the
529
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,200
new Transmog system, allowing
toward a more quote, consolidated
530
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,520
solution for customizing
appearances and effects. They also
531
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,420
acknowledge that some players
have asked for repeatedly more animations
532
00:32:11,420 --> 00:32:14,180
that reflect the role you're
playing. Whether that's tanking,
533
00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:17,820
healing or casting, it's part
of. And maybe one day you'll see
534
00:32:17,820 --> 00:32:21,620
support in there as a broader
customization system in the future.
535
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:23,940
Customization, man.
536
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:27,900
Yeah, I love to see this.
We've been talking about customization
537
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:29,300
a bit recently.
538
00:32:29,940 --> 00:32:30,500
Yeah.
539
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:32,660
And where we'd like to see
things go.
540
00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:38,030
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't wear.
Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Open her up.
541
00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:40,870
No, go ahead. I want to see. I
want to hear your thoughts on this
542
00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:44,070
first because I know where my
head's at and it's kind of wall of
543
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:46,630
crazy stuff, but I still think
it'd be awesome.
544
00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:49,150
Well, like where my head goes
at first, it may not be where you
545
00:32:49,150 --> 00:32:56,550
think I'm going. It's. I would
love to see a large updated option
546
00:32:56,550 --> 00:33:01,390
not Only options, but improved
visual customization on the playable
547
00:33:01,390 --> 00:33:06,120
races we already have. So,
like, humans, Kul Tirans, I would
548
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,960
love Kol Tyrants to be able to
have, I don't know, like, tattoos,
549
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,600
like pirate tattoos or
whatever. You know, just, like, just
550
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,600
fun things like that to
further immerse yourself in your
551
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,480
character, you know, and
especially as the game has really
552
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,840
started gravitating more
towards a broader play style of player.
553
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,240
Like, it's not just what it
once was, and now you're having these
554
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,520
people branch out, really get
into their characters. And so I really
555
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,800
do think it leaves room for
great opportunities for customization
556
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,520
for current races in the game.
557
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Okay. I agree 100%, and I'm
actually very happy that you brought
558
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,200
up the tattoo thing, because
right now, the tattoo options that
559
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:54,680
are in there are not great. I.
I really do think that. And I know
560
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
that some of it might not be,
like, lore centric and stuff, and
561
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,190
I understand that, but, you
know, like, neither is Harris Pilton.
562
00:34:01,270 --> 00:34:05,790
She's not Laura centric. Know
what I mean? She's. She's crossing
563
00:34:05,790 --> 00:34:10,830
that. That wall into
paralleling our life and pop culture
564
00:34:10,830 --> 00:34:14,629
and stuff. So I'm okay with.
With what I'm about to say. I would
565
00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:19,990
really love to see some. Some
way better tattoo options, like sleeves,
566
00:34:21,110 --> 00:34:24,190
traditional tattoos. And I
know how Blizzard would do it. Blizzard
567
00:34:24,190 --> 00:34:29,900
would. Blizzard would do it
very well. And, you know, maybe even.
568
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:32,500
Maybe there. Maybe there's
even, like, little World of Warcraft
569
00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:36,420
characters and stuff on some
type of a traditional sleeve test
570
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:39,740
tattoo or a big back piece or
something. Like, it's just part of
571
00:34:39,740 --> 00:34:40,819
society now.
572
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:41,540
Yeah.
573
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:46,020
You know, tattoos are a huge
thing now, so I think some better
574
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:49,900
tattoo choices would be. Would
be really neat. The one that. This
575
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:52,900
is kind of a small thing. This
isn't my wall of crazy idea. This
576
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:56,420
is. Is something that I've
thought about quite a bit. I would
577
00:34:56,420 --> 00:35:01,460
love to see the ability to
wear two back pieces if they complemented
578
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:08,940
each other. So what I mean is
like having a cape or cloak with
579
00:35:09,260 --> 00:35:11,740
a quiver or a backpack.
580
00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:12,460
Oh, yeah.
581
00:35:12,540 --> 00:35:15,060
You know what I mean? And I
know they probably would run into
582
00:35:15,060 --> 00:35:20,410
some clipping issues. And I'm
sorry, we will put something in our
583
00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:23,970
chat that says a large back
tattoo of Jayna Pradmore. Yes, buddy
584
00:35:27,650 --> 00:35:32,330
Cash is in. But, yeah, to be
able to have that. There's a lot
585
00:35:32,330 --> 00:35:34,970
of different choices in there.
And if they would meet up together,
586
00:35:34,970 --> 00:35:39,170
it would be cool to have,
like, imagine having, like, a spear
587
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:43,850
on your back and a backpack
spears behind it. Right. Or, you
588
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:47,010
know, the biggest one that I
think of is like a cloak and a quiver
589
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,440
for, for my hunter characters.
Make them look very, very sentinelly.
590
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,200
Ranger Ish. I think it'd be
super cool. Here's my wall of crazy
591
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,880
idea for customization. And
this dips into systems. So I get
592
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,000
it if people are like, dude,
shut up. Because my answer will be,
593
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:12,800
okay, I'll shut up. But I
would love for my characters to be
594
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,320
able to have two weapons.
595
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:15,840
Oh yeah.
596
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,920
Not dual wield. I mean switchable.
597
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,440
Oh, that's definitely. Yeah.
598
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,160
Like a pair of swords.
599
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,040
Yeah.
600
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:32,040
And a bow. Yeah, I know that's
nuts and I know that's huge gameplay
601
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:37,040
system changes, but how
awesome would it be from a role play
602
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,570
and combat perspective to be
able to have to, you know, dual weapons?
603
00:36:42,570 --> 00:36:45,690
I think would be so cool. And
I'll leave it there. I'm going to
604
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:47,090
shut up because I know that's crazy.
605
00:36:47,090 --> 00:36:51,690
But yeah, I mean it's like the
ultimate Aragorn Fancy. If you're
606
00:36:51,690 --> 00:36:54,810
playing a hunter, right. I
mean, you know, or when you're watching
607
00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:59,290
Gandalf and he's wielding a
staff and a sword at the same time.
608
00:36:59,450 --> 00:37:02,930
I mean it's just like, you
know. Yeah. And I get where your
609
00:37:02,930 --> 00:37:06,370
head's at with it, especially
when you look at the MMO overall,
610
00:37:06,370 --> 00:37:08,290
like when you're. Everything
you're saying, when you're looking
611
00:37:08,290 --> 00:37:11,300
at the MMO genre as a whole,
you know, like MMOs allowing for
612
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:16,380
tattoos and more eccentric
tattoos and more customization between
613
00:37:16,380 --> 00:37:19,620
whenever you can, you know,
how the, how you're carrying your
614
00:37:19,620 --> 00:37:22,580
weapons and that sort of
thing. So yeah, yeah, I get it. I
615
00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:24,300
get that wall. I get that crazy.
616
00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:29,940
I mean even when you think
about it, like vanilla used to be
617
00:37:29,940 --> 00:37:35,380
that way and at least I know
on a, on a hunter it was. You had
618
00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:39,290
a range for your range weapon
and as soon as something closed the
619
00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:42,010
distance you had skills with a
620
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:45,650
one hander, you had to switch.
Yeah, that was, that's so tell you
621
00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:46,370
it was.
622
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:48,050
It was already there.
623
00:37:48,690 --> 00:37:53,330
I'm just saying classic is
great for the roleplay or RPG experience.
624
00:37:53,490 --> 00:37:56,050
You're good. You'll get it
there. Play with, you know, like
625
00:37:56,050 --> 00:37:59,090
really kind of really embodies
the playing what you want, how you
626
00:37:59,090 --> 00:38:03,050
want kind of thing. But
anywho. So yeah, folks, you can go
627
00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:06,450
check this out. This is
over@wowhead.com Next up, we have
628
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:11,510
discovered dream homes get
free decor with Zillow for Warcraft
629
00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:14,310
again coming to us from
wowhead.com now this is out right
630
00:38:14,310 --> 00:38:16,830
now. Blizzard has announced a
new Partnership with Zillow. We knew
631
00:38:16,830 --> 00:38:21,070
that was a thing. Right. Well,
this is part of Zillow's Sometime
632
00:38:22,510 --> 00:38:26,790
Starts Today campaign. So
there's of course no real buying
633
00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:29,910
or selling involved. It's just
themed after plot listings. And of
634
00:38:29,910 --> 00:38:32,990
course you have your. Your
real estate agents there, which you
635
00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:35,670
can send email to. Which we
did, by the way. You don't know that.
636
00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:39,290
We totally did. From. From
Azeroth Morning radio to our agent.
637
00:38:39,290 --> 00:38:42,610
She is a gnome. Told her we
were both looking for a home that
638
00:38:42,610 --> 00:38:45,690
Gibbs prefers around the sea
and you prefer the forest. So we're
639
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:51,530
waiting for a response from
our. Our gnome sales agent, so we'll
640
00:38:51,530 --> 00:38:54,930
keep looking for that. But
Blizzard describes this. I know.
641
00:38:54,930 --> 00:38:57,690
This is amazing. Blizzard
describes it as, quote, welcome to
642
00:38:57,690 --> 00:39:00,130
the neighborhood. Whether
you're looking for a tropical retreat
643
00:39:00,130 --> 00:39:03,930
where you can. Hang on. I need
to do this for properly. Welcome
644
00:39:03,930 --> 00:39:06,530
to the neighborhood. Whether
you're looking for a tropical retreat
645
00:39:06,530 --> 00:39:10,450
where you can skip Kaja Cola
under the sun. Oh, sip, not skip.
646
00:39:10,530 --> 00:39:14,930
Or an idyllic spot where the
neighbors are quiet as the grave.
647
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:19,730
Zillow for Warcraft has what
you need in quote, players can visit
648
00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:21,970
zillow.comwarcraft to explore
the listings.
649
00:39:22,050 --> 00:39:25,410
That was actually a really
good, really good brochure until
650
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:26,690
you had a stroke in the middle
of it.
651
00:39:26,690 --> 00:39:30,130
No, I know. I kind of choked
out there a little bit. So.
652
00:39:30,130 --> 00:39:31,210
Yeah, a little bit of a minister.
653
00:39:31,850 --> 00:39:34,330
A little bit. A little bit.
Now, they did add a cool thing in
654
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:37,570
there, though, that it's a
naturally elegant doormat. So anybody
655
00:39:37,570 --> 00:39:40,730
that you know gets in there,
you can claim it. I claimed mine
656
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:43,610
for my home. You get a free
doormat. I'm just like, this is.
657
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:47,130
This is cool. And now they. By
the way, we're not even really talking
658
00:39:47,130 --> 00:39:51,370
about this today, but they've
also integrated Pinterest into Warcraft
659
00:39:51,370 --> 00:39:57,070
now. So you can. And you can
connect your game to your Pinterest
660
00:39:57,070 --> 00:40:00,230
accounts and start making
posts from your pictures in the game.
661
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:04,070
Who has a Pinterest account?
We're grown men here.
662
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:05,070
You have one.
663
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:06,790
Why would we have Pinterest account?
664
00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:10,350
You have one. And you probably
have a subscription somewhere buried
665
00:40:10,350 --> 00:40:15,030
in your wall of subscriptions
that you always forget you have.
666
00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:17,430
You're the definition of that commercial.
667
00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:18,950
I know you do.
668
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:21,930
I 100 have a Pinterest account.
669
00:40:22,090 --> 00:40:25,410
I know you do. I know you do.
It's always a blast whenever I talk
670
00:40:25,410 --> 00:40:27,770
to you on the phone. You are
the embodiment of that guy on the.
671
00:40:27,770 --> 00:40:30,930
On those commercials that's
like from Rocket Mail or whatever
672
00:40:30,930 --> 00:40:34,370
that app is. Rocket app. Oh, I
saved over $400. Cause I found out
673
00:40:34,370 --> 00:40:36,770
that I have seven different
subscriptions that I didn't even
674
00:40:36,770 --> 00:40:39,930
realize I still had. That's
you 100%.
675
00:40:40,330 --> 00:40:42,250
You make me sound like I'm a
cheap ass.
676
00:40:42,490 --> 00:40:53,270
Whee. I love you. I love you
more than my next breath. But if
677
00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:53,750
the boot.
678
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:55,510
I'm not cheap. I'm thrifty.
679
00:40:56,950 --> 00:41:01,950
Okay. All right. Yeah. That
said, folks, you can go check this
680
00:41:01,950 --> 00:41:08,670
out@wowhead.com Gosh. And then
finally watch the Liadrin. Liadrin.
681
00:41:08,670 --> 00:41:16,880
Sorry, excuse me. Animation.
All that is sacred. This holy cow
682
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,240
made some waves this week,
folks. This coming to us from wowhead.com's
683
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:27,120
In Azeroth's darkest hour,
Liadrin stands against the void,
684
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:33,520
knowing that with the light by
her side, darkness will never prevail.
685
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:38,120
End quote. This was a full on
animation that I don't want to spoil
686
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,890
it for, like taking
everything, you know, like detailing
687
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:49,850
every little thing, but I tell
you, that was. I felt like I was
688
00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:53,730
watching a Netflix series. I
got for. It was like five minutes.
689
00:41:53,730 --> 00:42:00,450
I was able to lose myself and
I'm like, I. I see. Oh my gosh. This
690
00:42:00,450 --> 00:42:03,690
is like watching Castlevania
on Netflix. Like that style of art,
691
00:42:03,690 --> 00:42:05,530
right? Like, you're just
watching this and you're like, oh,
692
00:42:05,530 --> 00:42:10,580
my gosh. I'm here in Azeroth
and I'm watching this on the screen.
693
00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:11,900
It was amazing.
694
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:13,540
Have you ever been tickled by
a feather?
695
00:42:13,540 --> 00:42:14,060
Mm.
696
00:42:14,060 --> 00:42:17,300
You look at the smile on your
face. You have no idea where I'm
697
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,380
going with this. Do you like
this? This is a family show.
698
00:42:22,580 --> 00:42:26,340
You know what? After 14 years
of casting with you, I'm just like,
699
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:28,300
he'll bring it around. We'll
get. We'll.
700
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:33,380
We'll figure it out. We might
lose some listeners in the process.
701
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,160
We'll gain 5 more.
702
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,320
No, it's all right. Oh, my
God. Okay, my whole point is, have
703
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,280
you ever been tickled by a
feather? It is that it's moment where
704
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,440
you're like, stop. Don't.
Don't stop. Stop it. Please don't
705
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,920
stop. It feels so good. That's
how I felt with this. And the reason
706
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,000
I say there's, there's like a,
there's a dichotomy there. Because
707
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:02,910
I'm a grown man, I shouldn't
like cartoons. And bless my daughter's
708
00:43:02,910 --> 00:43:09,590
heart, she has tried so hard
to get me into anime. And there's.
709
00:43:09,590 --> 00:43:12,510
There's certain anime that I
will watch. Like if it, if it's like
710
00:43:12,510 --> 00:43:15,590
a fantasy style anime, because
that's just my. My shtick, right?
711
00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:22,510
I love fantasy, wizards,
swords, dragons, anything like World
712
00:43:22,510 --> 00:43:25,470
of Warcraft. I'm all about it.
So I'll sit down and watch those
713
00:43:25,470 --> 00:43:30,320
with her. It's. It's some of
the more, you know, crazy ones where
714
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,320
there's a lot of screaming and
stuff that I'm really not into with
715
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,680
anime, but I'm a grown man. I
shouldn't be watching cartoons. And
716
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,520
then I see something that's
within my genre, and I'm just like,
717
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:46,760
hell, yes. I would watch this
all day. And the best example that
718
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:52,280
I have for that is the Arcane
series with League of Legends. And
719
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,000
we've talked about this,
right? Like, I was never really.
720
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200
I've tried League of Legends,
the game, but I'm not. I'm not really
721
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,040
a League of Legends player,
but I am a fan of their lore because
722
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,320
it's done very, very well. And
I loved Arcane. I thought it was
723
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:13,600
so wonderfully done. And I'm
watching this, getting into the characters,
724
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:19,240
recognizing characters. And I
know you are as. As a paladin by
725
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:24,170
at heart, you 100% recognize
characters in this. And the only
726
00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:28,490
thing that I could think of is
definitively, we need an animated
727
00:44:28,490 --> 00:44:33,050
series for World of Warcraft.
They have to do this. And I don't
728
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:37,210
know if they're hinting at
something, and I know it takes a
729
00:44:37,210 --> 00:44:39,490
ton of work to get to do these
things and get them done, but if
730
00:44:39,490 --> 00:44:42,090
there is a company out there
that has the resources to do something
731
00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:45,010
like this and just knock it
out of the park, you're partnering
732
00:44:45,010 --> 00:44:49,900
with Zillow. You're partnering
with freaking Pringles. Please partner
733
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:55,540
with Netflix and bring your
fans in animated series, because
734
00:44:55,540 --> 00:45:01,460
you can clearly execute on
this type of genre.
735
00:45:01,620 --> 00:45:02,420
I tell you.
736
00:45:02,740 --> 00:45:03,540
Yeah, that's it.
737
00:45:03,540 --> 00:45:05,500
And the storytelling was
there. And by the way, hey, I would
738
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:07,580
just personally, do you
recommend. There's a Witcher series,
739
00:45:07,580 --> 00:45:10,540
A cartoon series. It's. And I
only watch the adult ones. Like,
740
00:45:10,540 --> 00:45:13,420
I'm not watching, like, it has
to be TV mature for me to really
741
00:45:13,420 --> 00:45:16,560
get into those. And I would
encourage you to, number one, pick
742
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,000
up the Castlevania series on
Netflix, watch it, release the first
743
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,640
episode, and check out the
Witcher series as well. They're.
744
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,800
They're cartooning and. Oh,
it's like, meant for adults. And
745
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,159
it's Chef's Kiss. And I tell
you, watching this, there was a moment
746
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:36,880
when Liadrin's talking to
Alonza's fowl, which, dude, I. Okay,
747
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:43,240
so I read the book before the
Storm in is the prequel book to bfa.
748
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,600
I read that on Audible. It
wasn't very long ago that I finished
749
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,640
it. And Alonza's fowl is in
it. And it. There's this whole scene,
750
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,600
this thing that takes place
with him and Turalyon, right? And
751
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,080
I'm not going to spoil it for
anybody, but, like, you just really
752
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,960
grew to love this priest who's
now undead. And I tell you what,
753
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,640
there was a moment when he is
walking with Liadrin and they're
754
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,770
just walking through the
forest carrying a conversation. Nothing
755
00:46:08,770 --> 00:46:13,210
of note is happening, but
they're just having a conversation.
756
00:46:13,210 --> 00:46:16,490
And it was just this glimpse,
a glimpse of just me watching. And
757
00:46:16,490 --> 00:46:20,290
I'm just thinking to myself,
like, I'm watching an animated series
758
00:46:20,290 --> 00:46:23,849
of the world I love. Like, it
just felt like for a moment, you
759
00:46:23,849 --> 00:46:26,970
weren't watching a trailer,
you weren't watching a quick short.
760
00:46:26,970 --> 00:46:31,010
You were in this world. It was
animated series that you love. And
761
00:46:31,090 --> 00:46:35,020
in the back of my mind, what
starts to ring is a comment that
762
00:46:35,020 --> 00:46:38,980
Holly recently made and she
talked about, and I forget the verb.
763
00:46:38,980 --> 00:46:43,380
I wish I could quote it, but
basically she said, we have plans
764
00:46:43,380 --> 00:46:46,980
for this IP to be so much
bigger. Like, so much bigger than
765
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:47,660
what it is.
766
00:46:48,060 --> 00:46:50,300
Right? Yes, I remember that.
767
00:46:50,540 --> 00:46:56,420
And I. I'm just like, yes,
please, yes, please. Because within
768
00:46:56,420 --> 00:47:00,240
that same animated short, I
got to watch Alonza's Val for fight.
769
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,120
And I'm freaking out. I'm
grabbing my cat, holding it up in
770
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,080
the air. Alachus is fighting.
It's the father of Paladins. And
771
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,200
he's fighting and he's
spinning at his staff. I'm like,
772
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,360
I didn't know he could move
like that. Look at him go. And I'm
773
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,400
just like, freaking out.
774
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,560
I'm like, oh, my gosh, is your
cat okay?
775
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,200
My cat's staring at me. I'm
staring at my cat. I'm like alot.
776
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,400
And it's just like meow. And
you know, like,
777
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,800
It was a poor little druid.
778
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,520
Not really. None of that
happened. But anyway, it was a moment,
779
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,290
man. Like, I just. Just full
on geeked out watching the father
780
00:47:33,290 --> 00:47:39,330
of Paladins do work. And it
was all in the world we love. And
781
00:47:39,330 --> 00:47:45,290
I'm just like, yes, guys, yes,
so much. Yes, so much. Yes.
782
00:47:45,450 --> 00:47:48,570
Yeah. And they know it. They
know they have an audience for this,
783
00:47:48,970 --> 00:47:52,330
you know, and it just. The
funny, funny thing about that too
784
00:47:52,330 --> 00:47:56,930
is when I was reading Blood
Ties, you had said something before
785
00:47:56,930 --> 00:47:59,890
I started reading it that.
That resonated with me, and it kind
786
00:47:59,890 --> 00:48:02,260
of Stuck in my head the thing
whole time that I was. That I was
787
00:48:02,260 --> 00:48:03,260
absorbing that book.
788
00:48:03,260 --> 00:48:04,380
Oh, gosh. What I say.
789
00:48:04,540 --> 00:48:07,540
And. No, no, no, it was. It
was. It was really good and really
790
00:48:07,540 --> 00:48:12,340
true. But you said it's very
easy to, like, the story is very
791
00:48:12,340 --> 00:48:15,020
easy to follow. And maybe you
said that because you thought I was
792
00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:16,540
a little more simple than most people.
793
00:48:17,420 --> 00:48:18,700
No, I remember that.
794
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:25,660
No, just so you know, it's
very easy to follow. It's like a
795
00:48:25,660 --> 00:48:30,740
kid's, which. I mean, it was
very easy to follow, but it, you
796
00:48:30,740 --> 00:48:33,620
know. No, it's not a kid's
book. But the whole time I was reading
797
00:48:33,620 --> 00:48:39,140
that book, I was. You can
picture that book as an animated
798
00:48:39,140 --> 00:48:44,220
series very easily. Every
scene, you know, every scene seemed
799
00:48:44,220 --> 00:48:47,980
to me like it was okay. And
I'm picturing the whole thing, and
800
00:48:47,980 --> 00:48:51,060
I guess any book could really
be that way in a fantasy setting,
801
00:48:51,060 --> 00:48:57,230
right? But I just. I was
picturing the entire book as it played
802
00:48:57,230 --> 00:49:01,510
out as being an animated
series or a series. I just. Like,
803
00:49:01,510 --> 00:49:05,630
this would be a great movie.
So really, you know, you look at
804
00:49:05,630 --> 00:49:11,390
the stories that the game
tells, which some are fantastic and
805
00:49:11,550 --> 00:49:15,830
some have been kind of meh.
But you want to talk about getting
806
00:49:15,830 --> 00:49:21,130
people wrapped around your
lore and loving your lore. This is
807
00:49:21,130 --> 00:49:29,090
a way to do it. I have always
loved IPs that make you feel like
808
00:49:29,090 --> 00:49:33,330
you're in the game when you
cannot be in the game. And that's
809
00:49:33,330 --> 00:49:36,370
something that we talk about a
lot here on our show because that's.
810
00:49:36,690 --> 00:49:41,370
That's what we want to do for
you with our show. We want you to
811
00:49:41,370 --> 00:49:45,050
feel like you're getting a
taste of Azeroth when you can't be
812
00:49:45,050 --> 00:49:50,210
playing the game yourself. So
I've always loved IPs that have book
813
00:49:50,210 --> 00:49:56,810
series and comics and shows
and all kinds of other things that
814
00:49:56,810 --> 00:50:00,770
you can be doing when you're
not playing that IPs game. This is
815
00:50:00,770 --> 00:50:04,930
how you do it. This is how you
rope people in. You want to talk
816
00:50:04,930 --> 00:50:07,850
about a larger audience. You
have a bunch of people out there
817
00:50:07,850 --> 00:50:10,970
that have never played World
of Warcraft, and then you drop something,
818
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,120
something like this on
Netflix, and people will be like,
819
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,920
this is actually a really cool
world. I'm interested to see more
820
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,880
sub. And now all of a sudden,
people are playing your game, right?
821
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,000
So I'm not trying to market
for Blizzard because they're clearly
822
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,480
smarter than me when it comes
to Mark, you know, marketing their.
823
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,560
Their ip, but I'm just saying
that the people want this. So it's
824
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,360
all I could think about when I
saw this thing, I loved the drop.
825
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,000
I love that this is, you know,
this is the world. This is the story
826
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,480
that we're going into in a
week and I cannot wait to see more.
827
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,360
It's. It just got me pumped up
to play through the main campaign
828
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,320
and take my damn time doing it.
829
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,760
I'll tell you what got me
pumped up to do was I couldn't log
830
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:04,040
into my paladin fast enough. I
couldn't hit play game quick enough.
831
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,070
Oh, man, it was. Yeah, I
agree. Everything you're saying.
832
00:51:09,070 --> 00:51:13,590
A hundred percent. 110%.
Folks, let us know your thoughts.
833
00:51:13,590 --> 00:51:16,990
You want to see an animated
series, tell us in the comments which
834
00:51:17,070 --> 00:51:22,990
storyline you would love for
them to do first. From World of Warcraft.
835
00:51:23,390 --> 00:51:24,270
Ready for Snark?
836
00:51:24,270 --> 00:51:42,680
Let's do it. Snark online.
Friends, Snark has returned this
837
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,040
week and we got a. We got a
comment which was pretty funny. Somebody
838
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,720
was upset because we didn't
have a lore lesson last week. I don't
839
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:51,960
know if they were upset, but
they made a comment like, this is
840
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,360
the first episode. You guys
haven't had a lore lesson like, don't
841
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,120
worry, it's coming back. Our
segments are going to be normal this
842
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:03,130
week. So anyway, with that
normalcy comes Snark, my friends.
843
00:52:03,130 --> 00:52:07,850
And this week we are. We
don't. This isn't such a snarky topic
844
00:52:07,850 --> 00:52:14,530
this week. This is more of a.
A thank you to some folks out there
845
00:52:14,530 --> 00:52:17,730
who have made our gameplay
experience a little bit better. So
846
00:52:17,730 --> 00:52:22,650
this segment for Snark is
called Content Creator Carries. You
847
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:27,330
know how you have that one
part in every expansion where you
848
00:52:27,330 --> 00:52:30,570
hit a moment and you pretend
like you figured something out on
849
00:52:30,570 --> 00:52:35,930
your own? Nah, you didn't. You
probably watched a video, figured
850
00:52:35,930 --> 00:52:39,610
it out that way. Somebody else
did it first. So anyway, Content
851
00:52:39,610 --> 00:52:44,210
Creator Carries is where we
admit publicly and without shame
852
00:52:44,370 --> 00:52:48,690
that our efficiency in World
of Warcraft has been largely outsourced
853
00:52:48,930 --> 00:52:53,950
to YouTube and we're
completely fine with it. So we're
854
00:52:53,950 --> 00:52:57,270
going to run through a list of
some of our favorite content creators,
855
00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:01,590
the different guides they
make, breakdowns, deep dives, and
856
00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:09,990
how they overall help us don't
waste time doing this that have really
857
00:53:10,150 --> 00:53:14,790
honestly saved us probably
hundreds of hours of doing stuff
858
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:18,870
on our own and probably a good
handful of gold at the same time.
859
00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:25,790
So these channels over, over
the years, and I know jibs like some
860
00:53:25,790 --> 00:53:29,550
of these, but I suppose this
is mostly my list because I, you
861
00:53:29,550 --> 00:53:33,630
know, came up with this
segment this week, but, you know,
862
00:53:33,630 --> 00:53:36,990
you can find yourself swimming
in circles a lot of times. With some
863
00:53:36,990 --> 00:53:40,350
of the things that you're
trying to figure out, getting yourself
864
00:53:40,350 --> 00:53:45,160
focused, systems that make you
pull your hair out and you're just
865
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,800
like, I just don't understand
this or how do I optimize this build?
866
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,240
Or I don't want to read all
the patch notes. So you go to some
867
00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:56,680
of your favorite content
creators out there and here are some
868
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:02,440
of our favorites. Starting off
with Dalaran the Rogue. Oh yeah,
869
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:07,120
Dalaran Gaming is on YouTube
and it. What's funny about a lot
870
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,360
of these, you might not
necessarily recognize the name, but
871
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,200
if we were to put a video on
of these people, you'd be like, oh
872
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:17,720
yeah, I've watched some of
their videos before.
873
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:18,520
Yep.
874
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,200
So anyway, the first one I
wanted to cover was Dalaran Gaming.
875
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:29,880
He provides a bunch of videos,
just a huge variety, PvP game updates,
876
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,920
class videos. And some of the
things that I love about Dalaran
877
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,960
is that he's super in depth in
commentary and energetic when he
878
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,240
delivers it. And that's just
like patch notes. Like he can make
879
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:45,640
patch notes fun. And the
videos are very, very easy to follow.
880
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,040
One of the latest videos that
Dalaran put out was Midnight Class
881
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:56,520
tuning and soloing content for
rare mounts. So with the latest patch
882
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:02,880
that we received, some of the
Dragonflight stuff is, is now soloable
883
00:55:03,350 --> 00:55:06,070
and you can, you can basically
grind some of that stuff out and
884
00:55:06,070 --> 00:55:09,670
farm some of the rare mounts
that you needed help with before
885
00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:13,710
and now they're soloable. So I
put a video out on that. So anyway,
886
00:55:13,710 --> 00:55:18,790
Dalaran Gaming, thank you for
the work that you do. Much appreciated.
887
00:55:19,029 --> 00:55:24,790
Another one I wanted to cover
in this segment is I love her so,
888
00:55:24,790 --> 00:55:28,665
so much. She makes me laugh.
She's been making videos for a time.
889
00:55:28,665 --> 00:55:34,080
Long, long, long time. And
that's hazelnutty games you might
890
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,800
have seen videos from. She's
been doing videos for forever. Anyway,
891
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,520
she's a YouTuber. She covers
news tips, she does boss guides.
892
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,680
But she's just, she's very
funny, she's very sweet, very personable,
893
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,520
and she's flat out just
entertaining to watch. So you can
894
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,050
catch her live streams. And
her tip videos are usually very,
895
00:55:57,050 --> 00:56:01,250
very good, very easy to
follow. One of her latest videos
896
00:56:01,250 --> 00:56:05,410
is how to get some of the
newest mounts in Midnight. And then
897
00:56:05,410 --> 00:56:08,930
she has another, another one
recently that is a speculation of
898
00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:13,130
the end of Pet Battles in
Warcraft, which has been rumored.
899
00:56:13,130 --> 00:56:16,570
So she kind of goes into it
and has pretty interesting, interesting
900
00:56:16,570 --> 00:56:22,420
perspective on losing Pet
battles in Warcraft. Another one
901
00:56:22,980 --> 00:56:27,740
that I love is Signs of
Kalani. You'll know this one because
902
00:56:27,740 --> 00:56:32,180
Kalani starts every video
with, hey, folks, this is Kehlani.
903
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:35,860
You know who I'm talking
about. If you've seen any of Kalani's
904
00:56:35,860 --> 00:56:40,980
videos. Anyway, again, you
know how to's Warcraft guides and
905
00:56:40,980 --> 00:56:45,260
Kalani's been making videos
for about a decade, but just a super
906
00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:50,200
chill youtuber, very easy to
find and very, very easy to follow.
907
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:57,360
Guides on the most recent
relevant content. And Kalani really
908
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:02,000
plays through the stuff that
he's talking about. And the way you
909
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,280
know this is because most of
the background videos that Kalani
910
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,800
is talking about is his
characters playing through the exact
911
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:16,570
content that he's talking
about. That is a skill and that is
912
00:57:16,570 --> 00:57:22,210
very difficult to do. So that
just takes a lot of organization
913
00:57:22,290 --> 00:57:27,050
from a content creator
perspective to categorize. You take
914
00:57:27,050 --> 00:57:31,810
your video, categorize your
video and narrate to that same video
915
00:57:32,050 --> 00:57:36,090
is difficult to do. So kind
of, I don't know, I guess maybe a
916
00:57:36,090 --> 00:57:41,890
trained eye can see the skill
that he has there in being able to
917
00:57:41,890 --> 00:57:49,090
pull that off. So very, very
cool. Now, Jibs, I know that you
918
00:57:49,090 --> 00:57:55,890
know the next one and I have
to give a massive shout out to Tested
919
00:57:55,890 --> 00:58:01,850
Weevil, who's in here right
now. And I was able to dive into
920
00:58:02,010 --> 00:58:03,610
Dvalin Gaming.
921
00:58:04,010 --> 00:58:04,490
Yeah.
922
00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:06,810
And really watch these videos.
923
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:07,760
Yeah.
924
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:14,200
And it was very surprising. So
Dvalin Gaming is a gamer dad from
925
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,280
Denmark. He's a streamer and
YouTuber. He focuses on guides, news
926
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:23,560
and gameplay. But the thing
that caught my attention is the content
927
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:27,480
that he delivers and the
environment that he delivers it in
928
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:34,330
is so chill and so peaceful to
your mind. Like just the music he
929
00:58:34,330 --> 00:58:41,250
plays, his presentation value,
and his voice is so, so, so good.
930
00:58:41,490 --> 00:58:46,210
It's very good. Here's the
other thing that's. It's very interesting
931
00:58:46,210 --> 00:58:50,850
and it very much should
resonate with the casual audience.
932
00:58:51,490 --> 00:58:56,370
Dvalin is a huge proponent of
the game assist features like the
933
00:58:56,370 --> 00:59:00,090
single button rotation and the
assisted highlight features. Dvalin
934
00:59:00,890 --> 00:59:05,490
makes builds around these
features to help you increase your
935
00:59:05,490 --> 00:59:10,730
damage potential. And we know
that they work because our friend
936
00:59:10,730 --> 00:59:14,729
Weevil was talking about this
and he's like, this guy significantly
937
00:59:14,729 --> 00:59:21,410
increased my dps, which,
however you feel about these assistance
938
00:59:21,410 --> 00:59:26,390
tools, if you use them, you
do. If you don't, then, you know,
939
00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:30,830
skip past this part. But it
helps. These tools help a ton of
940
00:59:30,830 --> 00:59:35,110
people. People still want to
be competitive. They want to be able
941
00:59:35,110 --> 00:59:39,270
to see what's on the ground
and be able to still provide good
942
00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:44,870
DPS and good support for their
group. So however you feel about
943
00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:49,670
it, this is helping A ton of
people. And if it makes your gameplay
944
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:53,670
more enjoyable, freaking use them.
945
00:59:54,150 --> 00:59:54,870
Oh yeah.
946
00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:59,510
Number one, nobody's gonna
know. And number two, who cares?
947
00:59:59,510 --> 01:00:00,310
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
948
01:00:00,470 --> 01:00:02,550
This is, it's your game. You
pay yourself.
949
01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:05,350
Yeah, you, you pay your $15 a
month. You want to roll a different
950
01:00:05,350 --> 01:00:09,910
alt every day. Do it. You want
to play. Yeah. I, I, I will never,
951
01:00:10,870 --> 01:00:14,550
I will always be an advocate
for the one button rotation that
952
01:00:15,030 --> 01:00:20,500
brought so, such accessibility
for so many people. You know, I'll
953
01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:23,420
never forget the comment I
read. Due to physical disability,
954
01:00:23,420 --> 01:00:29,420
this person always wanted to
push ranking in Arena. In PvP World
955
01:00:29,420 --> 01:00:31,500
of Warcraft, they couldn't do
it just to physical limitations.
956
01:00:31,500 --> 01:00:33,420
Because of the one button
rotation, they were able to get their
957
01:00:33,420 --> 01:00:36,260
rating and get their gear for
the first time ever. I was like,
958
01:00:36,340 --> 01:00:39,820
that's right there. Right
there. One of the most stressful
959
01:00:39,820 --> 01:00:43,060
things, it's a win. One of the
most, the more stressful components
960
01:00:43,060 --> 01:00:47,300
to World of Warcraft is Arena
PvP for very, for a lot of people.
961
01:00:47,460 --> 01:00:50,420
And they were able just to go
out and get their stuff because of
962
01:00:50,420 --> 01:00:53,540
one button rotation. It's
awesome. It's awesome.
963
01:00:53,620 --> 01:00:56,980
Right? And, and remember too,
with the, with the one button rotation,
964
01:00:57,380 --> 01:01:02,500
it doesn't completely, doesn't
completely remove all of your skills
965
01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:05,260
and just put it into one, into
one button. It's just your damage
966
01:01:05,260 --> 01:01:09,380
skills. Yeah, that's it. All
your utility is still on you.
967
01:01:09,700 --> 01:01:10,180
Yeah.
968
01:01:10,420 --> 01:01:15,870
So, you know, as a way to
learn your class, use these tools
969
01:01:16,190 --> 01:01:20,630
as a way to continue once you
have learned your class, if you find
970
01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:22,990
that you like it, use these tools.
971
01:01:23,390 --> 01:01:24,110
Definitely.
972
01:01:24,110 --> 01:01:30,150
Who cares? Okay. The thing
that I love about Dvalin is very
973
01:01:30,150 --> 01:01:34,670
passionate about teaching
people how to make their gameplay
974
01:01:34,910 --> 01:01:39,000
better through using these
tools. And to me, it, it is legitimizing
975
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:44,720
feature that many players can
downplay. So take a look at it if
976
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,480
it's, if it's your shtick.
Check out some of his videos. Some
977
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,400
of his latest ones, he did one
single button assistant versus the
978
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,800
assisted highlight for DPS on
a mage, and he does this on different
979
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,160
classes. And it's very
interesting to see the differences
980
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:04,330
between the two. And you can
see what Blizzard has done based
981
01:02:04,330 --> 01:02:09,330
on some of these tests. Single
button rotation, at least in this
982
01:02:09,330 --> 01:02:17,210
particular video, had about a
12% decrease in DPS from the assisted
983
01:02:17,210 --> 01:02:23,690
highlight for, for delivering
DPS. So they kind of stepped it up
984
01:02:23,690 --> 01:02:28,900
a little bit. If you, if you
really want like full support, use
985
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:31,860
a single button. If you want
to take it a step further, use the
986
01:02:31,860 --> 01:02:35,540
assisted highlight. If you
don't like these, play it as you
987
01:02:35,540 --> 01:02:39,700
will. Your rotation is your
own. So I love it that both of these
988
01:02:39,700 --> 01:02:44,300
things have been built in to
the game and I love the way that
989
01:02:44,300 --> 01:02:50,980
Dvalin delivers it. So again,
thank you. Thanks for assisting in
990
01:02:50,980 --> 01:02:53,860
delivering this game to, you
know, people who will really take
991
01:02:53,860 --> 01:02:57,910
advantage of this in their
gameplay. More fun. All right, last
992
01:02:57,910 --> 01:03:03,350
one. Certainly not the least
one. As a matter of fact, it's my
993
01:03:03,350 --> 01:03:08,670
favorite. So I'm going to
throw this out there because these
994
01:03:08,750 --> 01:03:16,110
dudes have taught me a ton and
they've done it in a very consumable
995
01:03:16,110 --> 01:03:21,270
way. And I'm talking about the
Comeback Kids. If you've never watched
996
01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:26,050
their videos, the Comeback
Kids are two brothers with a weekly
997
01:03:26,050 --> 01:03:30,570
video show where they talk
about Warcraft. But the, the big
998
01:03:30,570 --> 01:03:33,050
highlight here and that's
great, but the big highlight here
999
01:03:33,050 --> 01:03:37,730
for me is their how in depth
their videos can be on the latest
1000
01:03:39,970 --> 01:03:44,850
features of Warcraft. Their
videos get right to the point, like
1001
01:03:44,850 --> 01:03:49,210
there's, there's no fluff.
Their presentation value is excellent.
1002
01:03:49,210 --> 01:03:53,890
They are very comfortable on
the mic and in front of a screen,
1003
01:03:54,210 --> 01:04:00,210
which again, there, there's a,
there's a measure of talent there.
1004
01:04:01,010 --> 01:04:04,370
And these, these dudes are
very, very comfortable doing it.
1005
01:04:05,410 --> 01:04:12,090
Their presentation value is
very, very good. And with their videos,
1006
01:04:12,090 --> 01:04:18,700
like, they sum up and give you
a roadmap on how to approach each
1007
01:04:18,860 --> 01:04:24,260
patch, different mechanics in
the game, leveling gear, working
1008
01:04:24,260 --> 01:04:27,780
through the different systems
and features and really giving you
1009
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:33,100
a good guide how to do it. And
on top of that, one of the best features
1010
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:38,260
of their videos is that they
will kind of pause and put lists
1011
01:04:38,260 --> 01:04:42,140
on the screen so you can
screenshot it and come back to it.
1012
01:04:43,090 --> 01:04:46,170
You know, whether it's you
screenshotting with, you know, snippet
1013
01:04:46,170 --> 01:04:48,290
or whatever you use on your
computer, or if you're just taking
1014
01:04:48,290 --> 01:04:52,370
a picture with your iPhone,
which is what I do, I'm like, click
1015
01:04:52,530 --> 01:04:56,050
and then I can come back to it
when I'm in game playing. And it's
1016
01:04:56,050 --> 01:04:59,850
very, it's good content, the
information is usable. And I will
1017
01:04:59,850 --> 01:05:03,170
say right now there has not
been a single video that I have watched
1018
01:05:03,170 --> 01:05:07,250
from them where I didn't learn
something new about this game that
1019
01:05:07,250 --> 01:05:12,380
I've been playing for over 20
years. So my hat is off to these
1020
01:05:12,380 --> 01:05:16,740
guys. Their latest video is
how to prepare solo for Midnight,
1021
01:05:17,220 --> 01:05:20,300
which gives you a bunch of
great tips and tricks. There's, there's
1022
01:05:20,300 --> 01:05:24,660
a tip in there about how to
level from, from 70 to 80 without
1023
01:05:24,819 --> 01:05:29,260
doing any combat. And it's
brilliant because they're they're
1024
01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,780
setting. I'll just give it
away. They're setting up your crafting
1025
01:05:32,180 --> 01:05:37,520
or for you to make some money
in midnight. It's just. It's so good.
1026
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,320
It's so good. And I know
you've watched your videos too, Jibs,
1027
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,960
and I know you feel the same
way about these two dudes. And I
1028
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,320
will say this here's an
awesome thing that just happened
1029
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,080
to us this past week. I've
been a fan of the Comeback Kids for
1030
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:55,040
a long time, and a couple of
days ago, one of them commented on
1031
01:05:55,040 --> 01:06:01,110
one of our episodes on YouTube
and I was like, starstruck. What?
1032
01:06:01,670 --> 01:06:05,710
Jim sends me a screenshot. He
texted me the screenshot of look
1033
01:06:05,710 --> 01:06:10,150
who commented on one of our
videos. And I was like, what? So
1034
01:06:10,150 --> 01:06:14,990
anyway, I was super humbled.
And here you go. Right back at you
1035
01:06:14,990 --> 01:06:15,350
boys.
1036
01:06:15,510 --> 01:06:18,190
Yeah. Yeah. Thank you guys so
much for the love. Honestly, we love
1037
01:06:18,190 --> 01:06:20,950
your content and all the
creators, content, everyone that
1038
01:06:20,950 --> 01:06:24,750
we've just mentioned. I just,
you know, there's something to be
1039
01:06:24,750 --> 01:06:29,220
said about positivity and
people putting forth their best effort
1040
01:06:29,220 --> 01:06:32,740
to make something that. The
best that they can. And these are
1041
01:06:32,740 --> 01:06:36,060
all these creators, they do a
wonderful job. And yeah, specifically
1042
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:38,260
for the Comeback Kids. Thank
you boys for listening. We certainly
1043
01:06:38,260 --> 01:06:40,740
do appreciate you and we love
you guys so much for everything that,
1044
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:45,540
you know, you do in the wow.
The wow space. And it's always inspiration
1045
01:06:45,540 --> 01:06:48,220
to us as well. And it's a joy
for us, too, to be able to listen
1046
01:06:48,220 --> 01:06:51,180
and know that you guys are
listening too. Much love from us
1047
01:06:51,180 --> 01:06:52,580
to you. Let's connect.
1048
01:06:52,580 --> 01:06:57,290
Yeah, exactly. For sure. I
know we didn't mention all the content
1049
01:06:57,290 --> 01:07:00,010
creators because there's so,
so many of them out there, but these
1050
01:07:00,010 --> 01:07:04,970
are definitely some of our
favorites and we wanted to highlight
1051
01:07:04,970 --> 01:07:13,050
them because they're doing
tons of work, like the hours are
1052
01:07:13,050 --> 01:07:16,010
countless for the things that
they're doing behind the scenes to
1053
01:07:16,010 --> 01:07:18,930
bring you these guides and
videos. And they're putting their.
1054
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,440
Their heart and soul into
researching this stuff, scripting
1055
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:27,560
stuff, recording it, you know,
take after take, and then having
1056
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,080
to edit everything and get you
out this finished product. It's.
1057
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:37,240
It's a good thing to just take
the time to recognize these folks
1058
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,840
that are out there doing this.
This work for you that makes our.
1059
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,040
Our gameplay better. So it's
definitely more work than you probably
1060
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,110
realize goes into content
creation. And we wanted to honor
1061
01:07:47,110 --> 01:07:50,590
them on our show and just say
a big, hearty thank you.
1062
01:07:50,670 --> 01:07:53,270
Agreed. Folks, we'll be right
back. We're going to do our lower
1063
01:07:53,270 --> 01:07:57,510
lesson. We'll close out the
show, finish for the day. Be right
1064
01:07:57,510 --> 01:07:57,790
back.
1065
01:08:00,270 --> 01:08:13,230
Now listen closely to my tale.
Long before Azeroth knew peace, before
1066
01:08:13,310 --> 01:08:19,000
order, the world belonged to
chaos. Fire roared against stone.
1067
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:24,840
Storms ripped across endless
seas. And as we've already detailed,
1068
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,200
the Elemental Lords ruled a
world forever in conflict. And they
1069
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:39,560
reveled in it. But then the
sky broke from the great dark beyond.
1070
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:45,200
Colossal beings fell upon
Azeroth, not as conquerors marching
1071
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:51,680
in, but as horrors colliding
with the world itself. They buried
1072
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:56,680
themselves deep into the
planet's surface, each in a different
1073
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:02,560
place, rising as living
mountains of flesh. Countless mouths
1074
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:08,610
gnashing. Endless black eyes
staring without thought or mercy.
1075
01:09:09,890 --> 01:09:19,730
These were the Old Gods. Let
your eyes be opened. Where the Old
1076
01:09:19,730 --> 01:09:24,690
Gods landed, despair followed.
The land around them withered and
1077
01:09:24,690 --> 01:09:30,610
blackened, dying for miles in
every direction. Beneath the surface,
1078
01:09:31,339 --> 01:09:35,179
massive tendrils bored
downward, threading through the crust
1079
01:09:35,179 --> 01:09:40,859
of the world, creeping ever
closer to Azeroth's defenseless heart.
1080
01:09:41,499 --> 01:09:47,179
From the Old Gods corrupted
forms, new life emerged, twisted
1081
01:09:47,179 --> 01:09:54,299
life. First came the n', Raqi,
the faceless Ones, Intelligent, cruel
1082
01:09:54,619 --> 01:09:56,378
and calculating life. It dies
in the endless patterns.
1083
01:09:59,590 --> 01:10:04,150
Then the Aqir, towering
insectoid creatures built for endurance,
1084
01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:11,390
labor and war, bend to the
Master's will. They were not independent
1085
01:10:11,390 --> 01:10:16,190
beings. They were extensions
of a Master's will. Through these
1086
01:10:16,190 --> 01:10:20,830
servants, the Old Gods
expanded their dominion. The Anraki
1087
01:10:20,830 --> 01:10:24,400
drove the Aqir relentless,
relentlessly, forcing them to raise
1088
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:28,600
immense citadels and temple
cities around the Old Gods themselves.
1089
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,920
The greatest of these
fortresses formed around Y', Sharj,
1090
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,480
the most powerful and
malevolent among them. Near the center
1091
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:43,880
of Azeroth's largest
continent. I feast on suffering.
1092
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,930
Over time, these dark
strongholds spread out outward, merging
1093
01:10:48,930 --> 01:10:54,930
into a single suffocating
domain. A civilization built on corruption.
1094
01:10:55,650 --> 01:11:03,170
The Black Empire. The rise of
the Black Empire did not go unnoticed.
1095
01:11:03,569 --> 01:11:06,610
For the first time in
Azeroth's history, the Elemental
1096
01:11:06,610 --> 01:11:12,570
Lords set aside their
rivalries. Instead, they united storms.
1097
01:11:12,570 --> 01:11:16,010
Summoned by alacrity. Kir
fused with the flames of Ragnaros,
1098
01:11:16,330 --> 01:11:21,210
forming colossal fire cyclones
that tore across the world and reduced
1099
01:11:21,210 --> 01:11:25,890
entire cities to ash.
Elsewhere, Therazane raised jagged
1100
01:11:25,890 --> 01:11:30,370
walls of living stone,
trapping enemy forces within collapsing
1101
01:11:30,370 --> 01:11:36,090
temples. Then the seas
answered. Neptilon and his tidal
1102
01:11:36,090 --> 01:11:40,820
host surged forward, crushing
the extreme Kir and n' Raki between
1103
01:11:40,820 --> 01:11:45,980
unyielding rock and the fury
of the oceans. For a moment, it seemed
1104
01:11:45,980 --> 01:11:52,340
enough. But the Black Empire
did not fall. For every servant destroyed,
1105
01:11:52,740 --> 01:11:58,340
more crawled forth, spawned
endlessly from the Old Gods diseased
1106
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:04,640
forms. The Aqir swarmed Like
an unstoppable infestation, the Enraqu
1107
01:12:05,590 --> 01:12:10,470
broke the elementals through
sheer attrition. One by one, the
1108
01:12:10,470 --> 01:12:16,950
Elemental lords fell into
slavery. With the world's native
1109
01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:21,630
spirits broken, nothing
remained to stop the spread. The
1110
01:12:21,630 --> 01:12:27,430
Black Empire consumed vast
stretches of Azeroth. The skies dimmed.
1111
01:12:27,830 --> 01:12:32,960
Perpetual twilight settled in
in. And the world spiraled into an
1112
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,040
age of suffering, silence and death.
1113
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:50,320
All right, well everybody,

1114

No, it's not.
5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Oh, yes, it is. While Shifty
was rubbing elbows with stars at
6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,080
the Crummies, I was back at
hq, scrubbing toilets, cleaning up
7
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,920
after you two ball bozos and
your, quote, celebrity cheese platter.
8
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,890

13
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:49,210

16
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:51,210
And good Tuesday morning,
everybody. Welcome. This is episode
17
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:56,810
22 of Azeroth Morning Radio.
What would you ask the daughter of
18
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:59,650
the sea? Well, Jaina, first
I'd ask for you to help me get a
19
00:01:59,650 --> 00:02:03,270
date with your mom, but since
that's not possible. Possible. My
20
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:07,790
name's Jibs, and I'm joined by
2010's ugliest Morgan. His name is
21
00:02:07,790 --> 00:02:08,350
Cash.
22
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:11,630
Dude, you want to date with
Jaina's mom?
23
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:16,190
Dude, she is single and I'm
just saying. I'm just saying.
24
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,390
Yeah, Jibs has got good taste.
25
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:20,590
True.
26
00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:21,870
She party well.
27
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:25,630
Hey, that's one less dude to
be in competition for Jaina for me.
28
00:02:25,630 --> 00:02:34,570
So just have right at it,
buddy. Oh, my gosh, dude, the intro.
29
00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:37,450
Grifty is pissed.
30
00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:40,410
He's not happy. He's not happy
about cleaning the toilets, man.
31
00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,690
Turns out you go to the
grummies and you leave one out, they.
32
00:02:43,770 --> 00:02:44,810
They get feisty.
33
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:49,010
Well, we had to pick one, and
Shifty got the coin flip. But now
34
00:02:49,010 --> 00:02:53,450
it seems as if Grifty is
giving us one ply toilet paper. So
35
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:57,290
I would just say this for. For
at least for a while. Poop at home,
36
00:02:57,740 --> 00:02:59,260
because that spells a breach.
37
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:05,820
It's a contact contract breach
right there. Literally. Yeah. Oh.
38
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:06,860
How's it going, buddy?
39
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:10,260
It's going good, man. It's
going good. I had. I've had a very
40
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:13,619
busy week. We got some rain
here in Southern California, which
41
00:03:13,619 --> 00:03:19,260
is absolutely nuts and not
normal, but yeah, we had several
42
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:24,670
days of squalls, and we had a
tsunami warning today and all kinds
43
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:28,990
of stuff going on. So been.
Been busy at work with that, but
44
00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:33,030
I have. I. I might have had a
revelation here over the last week,
45
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:36,470
buddy. And it's a little late
in the game that I'm sharing this
46
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:37,710
with you and the peeps.
47
00:03:37,790 --> 00:03:39,230
You're ordering a toupee?
48
00:03:39,949 --> 00:03:41,990
No. Oh, not happening.
49
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:42,350
All right?
50
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:47,070
That's a 70s style, and you
would never see me with a toupee.
51
00:03:47,070 --> 00:03:49,390
I owned it, bro. I own this.
52
00:03:50,490 --> 00:03:52,730
Yeah, the only thing you owned
was a toupee.
53
00:03:55,210 --> 00:04:01,810
This pure freaking shine on my
head. This Mr. Clean. I own it and
54
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:02,650
I love it.
55
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:05,850
I know. Aerodynamic, baby. I
can't imagine another way. Can you
56
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:08,970
imagine us with hair now? If
we grew our hair out, what we'd look
57
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:09,290
like?
58
00:04:10,570 --> 00:04:14,810
My daughter sees pictures of
me when I got married and had a lush
59
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:19,600
head of hair, and she
seriously grosses out. Yeah, it's
60
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,280
like, ew.
61
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Yeah. Yeah, I have. My wife
refuses to get rid of a high school
62
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,360
picture of me on our cupboards
in our kitchen for whatever reason.
63
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
And there it is, you know,
sideburns. Have we called them sideboards
64
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,720
back then? So you have
sideburns all the way down, you know.
65
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,520
Oh, yeah.
66
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Well. Well, you guys were high
school sweethearts, right?
67
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Well, I met her when I was. I
can't say her age, but I was 15 and
68
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,080
she was on her way into
college, so. Yeah.
69
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Oh, that a girl. Well, see, my
wife did the same thing because Molly's.
70
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Molly's significantly older
than I am.
71
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Yeah.
72
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,400
But I'm. Yeah. And so my
daughter's called her cradle robber
73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,800
for pretty much her entire
speaking existence. But I have news.
74
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,160
Okay, which news? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
75
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,080
What do you got, man?
76
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,200
We can derail a show.
77
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,800
We can derail with the best of them.
78
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Right? But trains Right back
on the tracks, baby. Okay, so I did
79
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,330
a bunch of stuff on my hunter
this week. Okay. One of which I want
80
00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:16,730
to talk about with you as we
get this show started. But I did
81
00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:22,250
a bunch of just catch up
mechanic stuff. Yeah, right. So I
82
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:26,410
did the event, got some base
gear, and then I just. I started
83
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,890
going for it, running delves,
doing, you know, some of the lower
84
00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:35,010
mythics, doing the. The catch
up event where you get the. The cartel
85
00:05:35,010 --> 00:05:39,650
coins. That was all very real
for me. And I watched the power creep
86
00:05:40,050 --> 00:05:44,850
on my BM Hunter. You guys can
call me whatever you want, right?
87
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:48,770
Call it whatever you want to
call it. I really like BM Hunter.
88
00:05:48,770 --> 00:05:53,890
It's super fun and I'm kind of
getting that itch to DPS again. So
89
00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:57,890
here's the revelation. I'm
going to main my Hunter in Midnight
90
00:05:58,450 --> 00:06:04,450
and not my Druid, which is
crazy because I just did. I just
91
00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:07,210
very recently did the. You
know, you grab all your characters
92
00:06:07,210 --> 00:06:10,280
and you get the add on and you
see what your total time played was.
93
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:10,990
Yeah.
94
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:18,830
And it was embarrassing. But
dude, like 60 of my play time across
95
00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:24,270
all characters in the life of
my account was on a Druid. So yeah,
96
00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:27,350
it's gonna be a little
different for me playing 100 this
97
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:29,510
time around. But I'm actually,
I'm very excited about. I'm having
98
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:31,550
a blast with them. So much fun.
99
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:35,030
Yeah, well, we'll see how well
you hold that Hunter whenever we
100
00:06:35,030 --> 00:06:38,480
get in our everyone hits max.
And then we have our friends that
101
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,040
are all going to be wanting to
push content. We'll see. We'll see
102
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,480
how long you hold to the hunter.
103
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,000
Oh, are you seriously
testicular tickling me right now
104
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,680
about switching classes?
105
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,240
You know how we know how you
are. You flop around like a wet noodle
106
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,320
between your classes.
107
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,720
We know how you are. It's not
a thing. I do not.
108
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,970
Look, on the other hand, I on
the other hand, pick and stick with
109
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:05,010
one class.
110
00:07:05,330 --> 00:07:09,290
So, yeah, okay. Until we talk
about that new trailer that Blizzard
111
00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:11,130
just put out and what you were
playing today.
112
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:13,970
That's right. This kids, is a
term I learned from my wife called
113
00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:15,010
gaslighting.
114
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:20,330
Yes. Okay, so last thing.
Okay, last thing before you get into
115
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:24,130
your thing and I want to talk
about this today. Yes, we tried PvP
116
00:07:24,130 --> 00:07:24,930
training grounds.
117
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:26,450
Yeah, we did.
118
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,280
We did a lot.
119
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Yeah, we did.
120
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Training grounds. I'm just
going to toss that little grenade
121
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,120
under your chair. And how was
your week?
122
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320
It was great. I got beat up by
NPCs and training grounds.
123
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,840
Really though?
124
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,440
No, not really. It was
actually a lot of fun and come to
125
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,640
find out, a lot of PVPers
doing the same thing because they're
126
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,880
like, why get in a match and
potentially lose and be high stress
127
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280
when you can just go do
training grounds and get good, decent
128
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,140
honor? It's chill. You may die
every now and then, but for the most
129
00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:01,860
part you don't. You may lose
because they do beat you if your
130
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:02,860
team's not playing well.
131
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:03,500
Smart.
132
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:09,220
Yeah. I mean, and honestly,
rogues play near perfectly to a rogue.
133
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:11,980
You know, aside from the. Of
course they don't CC as much, but
134
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,820
my goodness, there's some
sneaky, sneaky rogue NPCs going around
135
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:17,420
in those training grounds.
136
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:21,180
Yeah, there is. The one thing
I did notice though, is like, say
137
00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:25,440
you're. Say you're guarding a
flag or something. Yeah, you're guarding
138
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,840
a flag. It's just maybe you
and another person or maybe you're
139
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,720
solo guarding a flag. And the
rogue will. The rogue will come.
140
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,920
There's no doubt. The rogues
coming to back cap if they can get
141
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,480
it. But they will take the
same exact line every single time.
142
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,920
And I can't expect them to be.
To have several different routes
143
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,520
they take. Right. That might
be a little over, you know, over
144
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,200
the top, but man, I would just
throw my trap and just sit there
145
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,510
and wait and I'd catch him
every time in the same exact spot.
146
00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:54,950
Yep.
147
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:59,310
So the AI is not perfect, but
man, what a challenge. It's a challenge.
148
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:03,630
If you want to get into PvP
and at least just taste it and learn
149
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:07,070
what the battlegrounds are
about, man, I cannot recommend the
150
00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:08,550
training grounds enough.
151
00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:13,030
Yeah, it's fun, honestly. And
it's super chill. It's so chill.
152
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:15,430
And everything you just said
is so true. It's a great way to get
153
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:18,230
in and learn your class if
you're on, if you're thinking about
154
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:21,270
healing, it's a great way to
get in and be, you know, just getting.
155
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:24,670
Learn how to heal. Whether and
they even. One thing I do genuinely
156
00:09:24,670 --> 00:09:28,750
love is that within the
training grounds, they allow for
157
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:31,510
people to be a tank or
whatever and just play as a tank.
158
00:09:31,510 --> 00:09:34,710
And so we're fighting against
blood DKs, you're fighting against
159
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:38,070
prop paladins, and it takes
forever to kill them. It's just fun.
160
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:40,990
I'm like, yeah, man, that's
how it should be. You should be allowed
161
00:09:40,990 --> 00:09:43,990
to have tanks. I mean, you can
in battlegrounds, you can do that
162
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:46,270
thing. But sometimes I've
noticed that it will take the slot
163
00:09:46,270 --> 00:09:50,480
of a healer and I'm just like,
man. And so, yeah, it's cool just
164
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,120
to. To go at it in there and
have a good time.
165
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Yeah, 100%. And it is. It's a
challenge. And I think the. The really
166
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,440
fun part is that it is very
rare because we've run. We run a
167
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,280
bunch. We ran a bunch. So we
got a really good feel of how they
168
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,120
play. But the fun thing is
that there's nobody's upset at each
169
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,400
other in there. No one's
yelling at each other. We've only.
170
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640
I think we only experienced it
maybe once or twice where somebody
171
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,240
would get on and be like,
really? We're going to lose this,
172
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,330
man. And we're just. We were
just laughing at him.
173
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:20,880
Oh, dude.
174
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,760
I couldn't help, like, are you
kidding me? Dude, you're in training
175
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,640
grounds. There's people in
here that, that don't, that don't
176
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,080
know the battleground very
well. So why don't you just like
177
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120
take on a teaching role
instead of getting upset over somebody
178
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
in the training ground?
179
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,440
Yeah. Yeah. It really is like
the last place to get upset over
180
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,320
anything. It's so chill. And
that catch that only ever happened
181
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,400
maybe like once or twice. But
anyway, it's been a good week in
182
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,990
Warcraft for me. A lot of time
on my Hunter. A lot. And between
183
00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:53,670
that and just kind of messing
around, getting some stuff ready,
184
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:58,550
clearing bags, made another
add on. A couple add ons. So it was,
185
00:10:58,550 --> 00:11:01,230
it was a good, it was a fun,
fun week. A good week.
186
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:05,590
And you're not getting away
with it. You have to talk about the
187
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:08,590
add ons you made this week
because they're fantastic.
188
00:11:08,590 --> 00:11:11,550
Okay, I will. Thank you. I
appreciate that. I made a second
189
00:11:11,790 --> 00:11:15,700
sister add on to set lock and
it's called item lock. You literally
190
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:18,140
can lock any item in your
inventory and when you do lock it,
191
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:21,220
it'll put a border over your
item. So you know it's locked, it's
192
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:23,540
not gonna get sold, you're not
gonna worry about it, whatever, blah,
193
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:25,700
blah, blah. Well, Jibs, why
don't you just add that to set lock?
194
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:29,180
Well, because it could break
other people's add ons that they
195
00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:32,460
already have and it's just
easier to keep it separated. And
196
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:36,900
then number two, cash. One
night was like, man, I wish I, I
197
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:39,220
don't know what you said. It
was like, I wish I had like a new
198
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,260
one of my pet was dead.
199
00:11:40,670 --> 00:11:43,550
Yeah. I said I wish there was
a better indicator for when your
200
00:11:43,550 --> 00:11:44,350
pet dies.
201
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:45,310
Yeah.
202
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:47,710
Other than just you spamming
skills that aren't working.
203
00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:48,350
Yeah.
204
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:49,030
Yeah.
205
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:55,750
So there's nat on called your
pet is dead. Literally pop up on
206
00:11:55,750 --> 00:12:00,070
your screen with a sound
choice of your choosing that your
207
00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:04,630
pet is dead and it will remain
on the screen and you can size the
208
00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:08,270
font. Be sure to read the add
on description on curse forge for
209
00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:11,990
that one and you can make it
all the way up to size 64 font if
210
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:14,650
you want want like you can
make it big and it'll disappear once
211
00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:20,090
you start to res your pet and
it's. It's working like it works
212
00:12:20,090 --> 00:12:22,690
really well. I can't complain.
213
00:12:22,690 --> 00:12:27,050
It, it's actually fun being in
Discord with Jibs when he's working
214
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:31,810
on these things because if you
can picture Little tiny Anakin on
215
00:12:31,810 --> 00:12:37,610
his pod racer and he's going,
it's working, it's working.
216
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:42,490
That's exactly right. That's
exactly right. So anyway, that's,
217
00:12:42,570 --> 00:12:45,850
they're, they're, they're on
Curse Forge. And so yeah, just hopefully
218
00:12:45,850 --> 00:12:48,210
it helps folks. That's the
whole goal of doing this. It's not
219
00:12:48,210 --> 00:12:51,410
for like I care about the
downloads, like the, the people who
220
00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:54,810
make stuff like you know, DBM
or Radio I.O. like those, everyone
221
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:57,130
who makes those big add ons,
like they're the, you know, they're
222
00:12:57,130 --> 00:12:59,730
the real workhorses. This is
just to help some folks. So hopefully
223
00:12:59,730 --> 00:13:02,930
it helps some folks. But
anyway, this week on the show, folks,
224
00:13:02,930 --> 00:13:05,650
we got a jam packed episode
for you. We're going to be doing
225
00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:09,010
a quick recap on our War
within awards show at the Grumby's
226
00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:13,370
last week. You guys, I tell
you, I think, I think you all liked
227
00:13:13,370 --> 00:13:15,650
it. So we're definitely going
to be bringing that back in a couple
228
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:19,130
years. Into the next
expansion, two grown men talk about
229
00:13:19,130 --> 00:13:23,130
Etsy, AKA us. Blizzard
promises more player customization.
230
00:13:23,450 --> 00:13:27,610
We gush over Blizzard's latest
animated video drop and say thank
231
00:13:27,610 --> 00:13:32,010
you to some folks who have
helped us be better players. All
232
00:13:32,010 --> 00:13:34,850
right, so we're going to get
started. But before we do, maybe
233
00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:37,210
you're a casual, maybe you're
working nine to five, maybe you're
234
00:13:37,210 --> 00:13:40,310
working the weekends. Folks,
here, it's Warcraft. For the rest
235
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:46,110
of us, this show is for you.
Welcome home, adventurers.
236
00:13:46,350 --> 00:13:50,830
Does your home smell like damp
boots, wet dog, old spell components,
237
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:56,830
or whatever that is in the
corner? Then you need gnome air fresheners.
238
00:13:56,830 --> 00:14:00,350
The only air freshener
scientifically engineered to overpower
239
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:06,250
reality. Ah, that's better.
Choose from our most popular scents.
240
00:14:06,570 --> 00:14:11,450
Freshly washed Lab coat.
Mountain Breeze. Lavender, but aggressive.
241
00:14:13,690 --> 00:14:18,490
Each gnome air canister
releases a controlled burst of purified
242
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:25,770
aroma particles. Controlled.
And don't worry, Gnome air is safe
243
00:14:25,770 --> 00:14:28,594
for people, pets, and most
magical familiars. We shall reap
244
00:14:28,594 --> 00:14:28,744
your soul. Side effects may
include sneezing clarity, sudden
245
00:14:28,744 --> 00:14:28,777
happiness, and mild evacuation
of the premises. So stop living in
246
00:14:28,777 --> 00:14:28,810
stink and start living in
science. Gnome air. If it smells
247
00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:28,825
clean, we did it, right.
248
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:50,380
Yow. This is Nixally. When I'm
not starting the Dimensius fight
249
00:14:50,380 --> 00:14:50,700
by mistake, I'm listening to
Azeroth morning radio.
250
00:15:06,950 --> 00:15:10,430
All right, welcome back,
everybody. Thank you so much for
251
00:15:10,430 --> 00:15:14,070
hanging out with us here
today. And as we get started, well,
252
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:15,510
it's the hero's call.
253
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:23,350
Heroes call friends. Jibs and
I had about as much fun as we could
254
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:30,000
possibly had making a show for
you last week. If you listen, then,
255
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,880
you know, but we had a little
different format last week and we
256
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,320
did something called the
Grummy Awards, which of course was
257
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,080
a play on words for the Grammy
Awards, but ours was about the war
258
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,840
within and our final thoughts
on the War within as an expansion.
259
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,720
And we had a bunch of awards
that we gave out in true Grammy fashion.
260
00:15:53,650 --> 00:15:58,290
And it all took place at the
Galagio Hotel down in the Undermine.
261
00:15:58,450 --> 00:16:03,130
And I'm not kidding you, like,
we absolutely had a blast. There
262
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:06,930
was a ton of laughs and I'd
make a bit, send it to him, he'd
263
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:09,890
give me laughing emojis and,
and you know, we talk about where
264
00:16:09,890 --> 00:16:13,330
he's gonna go in the show and
he did the same and, and it was a
265
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:19,140
massive edit to, to get the
show where we wanted it to be just
266
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:22,300
because it's different from,
from our normal format here. So,
267
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:25,540
you know, you. He didn't. When
Jibs was doing this over the weekend.
268
00:16:25,540 --> 00:16:29,340
I know it's. I know it took
you some hours to, to get everything
269
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:32,100
where you wanted it to be and,
and I commend you for that because
270
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:35,500
I think, I personally think
the show came out really good and,
271
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:39,820
and seemingly everybody liked
it. Like, we're getting a ton of
272
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:42,940
really good feedback on the Grummies.
273
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,060
Yeah, yeah, it was, that was a
ton of fun and we're so thankful
274
00:16:46,060 --> 00:16:48,840
to so many of you who liked it
and enjoyed it. Got a lot, like you
275
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440
said, a lot of great feedback.
It was a fun episode to release because
276
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,840
also in addition to releasing
that episode, we released our brand
277
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,960
new animated visuals that is
happening now on YouTube. Thank you
278
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,760
to Lucky Dart for that, by the
way. Great artist, helped us out,
279
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560
walked us, we walked them
through what we were looking for.
280
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840
And so you can check that out
over at YouTube. You may see a goblin
281
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440
hand moving every now and
then, Steaming cup of coffee, some
282
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,960
candles, and oddly enough, a
rat. So there's all kinds of fun.
283
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Stormwind rat. Stormwood Rats, baby.
284
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,579
That's right. That's right. So
they took they a great job capturing
285
00:17:20,579 --> 00:17:24,979
the AMR feel and bringing it
into World of Warcraft. So, yeah,
286
00:17:24,979 --> 00:17:28,059
it was a blast doing that last
week. It was great too because now
287
00:17:28,059 --> 00:17:30,339
we're like, oh, we want to do
this next time around, we want to
288
00:17:30,339 --> 00:17:33,099
add this next time around.
And, and so we were already talking
289
00:17:33,099 --> 00:17:34,979
today about, you know, what
we're going to be doing in a couple
290
00:17:34,979 --> 00:17:38,099
years from now for, for
something like that. So, yeah, thank
291
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:41,419
you everybody for the great
support, the great comments, great
292
00:17:41,419 --> 00:17:45,499
support, all around and. Yeah,
yeah, I look forward to a couple
293
00:17:45,499 --> 00:17:48,500
years and more so today for
what we got going on in the show.
294
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:52,060
Yeah, we had. And we know
there were some really good suggestions
295
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:55,820
about some things that we
missed. You know, just some. Some
296
00:17:55,820 --> 00:18:01,660
other characters and areas
that we could have put in for the
297
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:04,820
awards that we gave out. And
you're absolutely right. But, you
298
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:07,020
know, at some point we had to
whittle down the show a little bit,
299
00:18:07,020 --> 00:18:09,540
so it was a little bit more
palatable. Not a three hour show,
300
00:18:09,540 --> 00:18:12,660
but. Yeah, but you guys were
right. We did miss a couple things.
301
00:18:13,150 --> 00:18:16,950
But what we did not miss is
the fact that the Undermine was the
302
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:21,030
Runaway. It took a lot of
people's hearts and we got a lot
303
00:18:21,030 --> 00:18:25,150
of good comments about how
they agreed with our award choices,
304
00:18:25,790 --> 00:18:29,190
especially the Undermine. It
was just a. It was a runaway to me.
305
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:31,990
And you know, every Grammys,
like, if you watch the real Grammys,
306
00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:34,510
I really don't, but I did when
I was a kid, watched them a bunch.
307
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:38,030
There's always a runaway.
There's always one movie or one actor
308
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:39,230
that just takes home everything.
309
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:39,970
Oh, yeah.
310
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,200
And I think that's where the
Undermine landed in the War Within.
311
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,880
So anyway, thank you. If you
haven't heard it, it is episode 21.
312
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,640
Go take a listen to that. Now
is the is a great time because midnight
313
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,800
is literally upon us. It's
launching next week and that brings
314
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,200
up a real quick fail of the
week. Want to hear my fail of the
315
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,960
week, Jibs?
316
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,120
Yeah, go on. I know where
you're going.
317
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:14,100
Yeah. So as we all know, the
early access for midnight is February
318
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:16,740
26th and 27th. Correct?
319
00:19:16,980 --> 00:19:17,540
Yeah.
320
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:20,740
Guess when Cash signed up for
a two day class.
321
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:23,060
You're a big dumb dummy. You
did it, didn't you?
322
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:28,260
February 26th and 27th, I will
be in class.
323
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:33,460
Hey. Yeah, don't worry, I'll
log in, change your name, do big
324
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:34,300
dub dummy.
325
00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:38,860
As if on cue. I love it.
326
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:42,940
Oh, my gosh. Well, you know
what? The citizens of the town that
327
00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:46,460
I protect will be in a little
bit better hands because I'll have
328
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:48,180
some fresh knowledge for them.
329
00:19:48,180 --> 00:19:48,780
There you go.
330
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:52,220
Protect your town. So you're welcome.
331
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:53,580
I love it.
332
00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:57,780
Yeah. Interesting. Okay,
moving on. We wanted to do something
333
00:19:57,780 --> 00:20:00,940
a little bit different this
week and this is truly different.
334
00:20:00,940 --> 00:20:04,590
This is a topic that we have
not touched on, but we are absolutely
335
00:20:04,590 --> 00:20:10,350
need to because I have become
addicted to Etsy and yes, I'm a grown
336
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:15,990
ass man talking about Etsy. If
you're a World of Warcraft fan and
337
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:22,270
you like decorations and
trinkets and statues and anything
338
00:20:22,270 --> 00:20:25,190
you can think of in the World
of Warcraft universe and you haven't
339
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:29,820
been to Etsy yet, do that
thing. Because I have found so, so
340
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:33,580
much cool stuff on there and I
have some examples here. I have to
341
00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:39,340
give a massive shout out to
Beta Tudo Studio and I believe this
342
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:45,940
gentleman is out of Arizona
and I have been browsing Etsy and
343
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:52,500
I found his creation, one of
his creations. It is a wanted poster
344
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:58,870
for Hogger, the original
Hogger quest with. And it's. It's
345
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:06,670
like an engraved wood sign in
a frame. And I, I believe it's. It's
346
00:21:06,670 --> 00:21:10,710
a five by seven. I believe
it's a five by seven, but it is the
347
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:16,350
exact font, the exact quest
text. The quest rewards everything
348
00:21:16,670 --> 00:21:23,200
on a wanted poster for Hogger.
Fantastic and super reasonable with
349
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,640
his pricing. But, man, I
picked it up, it got delivered yesterday
350
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,480
and I am in love with this
thing. So it's definitely going up
351
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,280
in this studio. Very, very
happy about it. So. And Ryan reached
352
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:43,720
out over. Just over, over Etsy
and the shipping was fantastic and
353
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,060
he dropped me a 10% coupon in
the packaging and I just. What a
354
00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:52,660
fun, nostalgic product for
Warcraft fans. So if, if you're out
355
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:57,740
there and something like that,
like, sparks your fancy 100%, I recommend
356
00:21:57,740 --> 00:22:05,260
it. It is. Again, it's Beta
Tudo Studio. B E A T I T U D O Go
357
00:22:05,260 --> 00:22:09,140
look it up. It's awesome. I
have a few more here. I have a few
358
00:22:09,140 --> 00:22:09,580
more here.
359
00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:12,660
I'm looking at. I'm looking at
it right now. It is. It looks like
360
00:22:12,660 --> 00:22:15,860
it was like wood burned. It
looks really cool. Yeah. Like, even
361
00:22:15,860 --> 00:22:19,810
the, the etching for the
rewards, like the footman tunic,
362
00:22:19,810 --> 00:22:22,730
the balanced fighting stick,
or Stormwood card leggings, I love
363
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:22,970
it.
364
00:22:23,210 --> 00:22:26,650
So what I'll probably do if
anybody out there follows me on X,
365
00:22:27,290 --> 00:22:30,810
it's Cash Quests. I will
probably take a couple pictures,
366
00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:33,050
these pictures of some of the
things I'm gonna talk about here
367
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:35,890
and put them up because
they're Etsy purchases. And I'm just.
368
00:22:35,890 --> 00:22:38,610
That's why I'm in love with
Etsy. It's so much fun. Here's another
369
00:22:38,610 --> 00:22:41,970
one. There's one called Chroma
Print Studio. Actually, by the way,
370
00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:45,620
before I do that, Ryan, thank
you. I know that we've been talking
371
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:49,580
a little bit through Etsy and
I love your product and I hope we
372
00:22:49,580 --> 00:22:52,140
bring some more people to your
product because it's. It was. It's
373
00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:56,620
super cool and very ingenious.
So well done. Next one I want to
374
00:22:56,620 --> 00:23:00,620
talk about is Chroma Print
Studio. They will do a World of Warcraft
375
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:07,260
character that is personalized
as an art print for you. So amazing
376
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:11,620
ratings. And their description
is high quality print of your World
377
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:14,830
of Warcraft character. Choose
your favorite picture of your wow
378
00:23:14,830 --> 00:23:17,550
character with your best
transmog and I will create a piece
379
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:21,150
of digital art for you.
They're gorgeous.
380
00:23:21,310 --> 00:23:22,910
Oh, these are awesome looking.
381
00:23:23,870 --> 00:23:28,270
Yes. To have your character,
the first thing I thought of was
382
00:23:28,830 --> 00:23:35,230
my hunter with. With gray
watch, which is his. That's my hunter's
383
00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:40,830
owl putting him up, like
having him flying behind him or something
384
00:23:40,830 --> 00:23:45,420
in this perfect pose with the
bow on. Oh my God. So that might
385
00:23:45,420 --> 00:23:51,300
be my next one. There is one
that I'd like to show and I know
386
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:54,140
that there's some folks in
here that can actually see my camera,
387
00:23:54,140 --> 00:23:56,100
so I'm going to show them this one.
388
00:23:56,420 --> 00:24:01,140
He's sliding over. He's
grabbing his product. Oh, yeah. I'm
389
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:02,020
so glad you're doing this.
390
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:05,940
Here's the other one. So this
one was a gift from my daughter and
391
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:11,660
this one was also from Etsy
called Z Xenowares XZ or excuse me,
392
00:24:11,660 --> 00:24:18,700
X E N O Wears Us. And it's
described. I think it's thrall, but
393
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:23,940
it's described as an orc troll
ogre shaman headphone stand, which
394
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:27,940
is. It's perfect. And so it
comes not painted, but I painted
395
00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:32,660
that with all my miniature
painting stuff. And I'll also take
396
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:35,870
a picture of this and put it
on X because I think it's amazing.
397
00:24:36,110 --> 00:24:40,630
But my daughter bought it for
me for Christmas and I've had such
398
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:46,390
a fun time painting him that I
just. I wanted to talk about it on
399
00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:50,910
the show. So if you happen to
be a miniature painter. I dabble.
400
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:55,630
I'm trying to get better at
it. But check out Etsy. There are
401
00:24:55,870 --> 00:25:03,100
so many 3D printed resin
paintable models from World of Warcraft
402
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:08,180
that you can get on Etsy if
you're into it. Now, I have one more
403
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:14,300
creator that I really want to
talk about, but I can't because I
404
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:19,260
purchased one and I purchased
one for Jibs and it's currently being
405
00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:22,140
shipped to his house and I
will not reveal what it is. I'm going
406
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,820
to let him do it when he gets it.
407
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:24,620
That's nice.
408
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:29,070
But maybe we can talk about
that one on next week's show. After
409
00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:31,990
you get it, we can talk about
that creator on Etsy.
410
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:35,110
Yeah, absolutely. We'll post
it in our patron channels too. Yeah,
411
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:36,110
man, that's awesome. Thank you.
412
00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:39,150
Yeah, thank you very much. So
anyway, the whole point of this was,
413
00:25:39,310 --> 00:25:42,870
you know, this is 100%
community driven stuff. There are
414
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:46,070
some amazing Etsy shops out
there and they make the things that
415
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:49,790
you cannot buy in the Blizzard
store and they might like title it
416
00:25:49,790 --> 00:25:52,910
something else, but it's very
recognizable as Warcraft stuff. So
417
00:25:52,910 --> 00:25:56,340
go check them out if you
haven't done that. Not just the ones,
418
00:25:56,340 --> 00:26:00,340
you know, that I detailed here
today, there's a bunch of Warcraft
419
00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:00,740
stuff.
420
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:02,460
So do it.
421
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:09,460
Hooray for Etsy. Breaking news
brought to all of you
422
00:26:09,540 --> 00:26:15,220
by the Goblin News Network.
Blizzard pledges more player customization
423
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:19,460
interview with Windows Central
is coming to us from wowhead.com
424
00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:24,810
all right, folks, so Blizzard
confirmed that more racial housing
425
00:26:24,810 --> 00:26:28,770
styles are coming. This
includes support for Goblins and
426
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:32,170
gnomes. Right now, players
have had to improvise, so building
427
00:26:32,170 --> 00:26:36,170
Goblin style homes using
undermined decor. But the team says
428
00:26:36,170 --> 00:26:40,410
they don't want players
waiting years for proper racial themes.
429
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:45,330
They also said that this won't
be painfully slow rollout like heritage
430
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:50,090
armor. They also, you know,
it's funny that they say that, like,
431
00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:54,060
I never really considered. And
maybe it was because of the time,
432
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:56,540
like we. I don't know if we
were in between wow or what, but
433
00:26:56,540 --> 00:26:58,980
like when they started
bringing heritage armor to the game,
434
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:02,860
I never really thought, like
it took forever. Like I just, whenever
435
00:27:02,860 --> 00:27:05,180
it show up, I'm like, oh, new
heritage armor, you know, even if
436
00:27:05,180 --> 00:27:07,420
it's not my race, like the
night elves. Even when they got theirs,
437
00:27:07,420 --> 00:27:10,540
I'm like, oh, that's cool, you
know, but yeah, yeah, whatever.
438
00:27:10,540 --> 00:27:11,300
It's night elves.
439
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,660
Who cares? Yeah, you know, I
do. Oh, my bad.
440
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:18,710
I like my night elves. No, I'm
with you on that one. I think the
441
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:21,910
funny thing is that maybe that
we don't realize because, like, we
442
00:27:21,910 --> 00:27:25,230
don't scour the forums, we
look at the forms when it's. When
443
00:27:25,230 --> 00:27:28,390
there's poignant information
we're looking for, but we're not
444
00:27:28,390 --> 00:27:30,990
like, you know, like, there's barflies.
445
00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:31,710
Yeah.
446
00:27:31,710 --> 00:27:34,670
You know, men and women and
barfly. They can be barflies, right?
447
00:27:34,670 --> 00:27:35,150
Yeah.
448
00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:36,350
We're not farm flies.
449
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:39,830
Nope. I also like to stay in a
certain bubble too. Like, I don't
450
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:42,550
like to go. There's just a ton
of bashing on the game or a ton of
451
00:27:42,550 --> 00:27:46,270
negativity. Like, I'm, I'm
good, you know, so like, I like to
452
00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:50,550
stay in our bubble, you know,
like our, our audience, our friends,
453
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:53,390
you know, the patrons here.
It's just.
454
00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:57,270
Yeah, yeah. So like, to some
extent, we don't know all the things
455
00:27:57,270 --> 00:28:01,350
that people are like wanting
and crying about, queuing about.
456
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:02,030
Yeah.
457
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:06,030
So yeah, when they come out,
it's. For me it's, it's more Warcraft
458
00:28:06,030 --> 00:28:07,350
for my Warcraft box.
459
00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:07,990
That's true.
460
00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:08,670
So I love it.
461
00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:11,800
That's right. They also
revealed something bigger. Housing
462
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,720
systems may not always be
limited to instanced neighborhoods.
463
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,240
The team has already discussed
how housing tech could support quests,
464
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:28,040
activities and events in the
main world of Azeroth. However, they
465
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,800
emphasized the current
priorities, optimization and support.
466
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,880
They also noted that players
building traps, jumping puzzles and
467
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,720
user generated content in
their homes has helped them understand
468
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:41,390
what players enjoy and is
influencing future priorities. Buddy,
469
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:44,990
does that not sound a little
bit like. Remember when Archeage
470
00:28:44,990 --> 00:28:47,950
came out and you had like your
home out in the world kind of thing?
471
00:28:48,270 --> 00:28:49,150
You remember that?
472
00:28:49,550 --> 00:28:53,790
Yeah. It says housing systems
though. I don't know if that necessarily
473
00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:58,910
means housing because that to
me, that I don't. How are they gonna
474
00:28:58,910 --> 00:29:00,670
do that? You know what I mean?
475
00:29:00,670 --> 00:29:03,550
Hey, I tell you what though.
How cool would it be for L1 forest
476
00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:07,620
along the road? You know, it's
like. It's not just the forest as
477
00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:10,860
much, it's forest. Yes. But
you also start seeing some homes,
478
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:15,340
some little, you know, like
people could go off and that's your
479
00:29:15,340 --> 00:29:15,660
home.
480
00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:19,460
I'm all about it. I mean even
if they, even if they were to instance
481
00:29:19,460 --> 00:29:24,380
it like when it's out there.
But like you run past the threshold,
482
00:29:24,620 --> 00:29:28,700
you know, or past that, that
mesh in, in the game. I'm talking
483
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:31,260
like in game systems now, you
run past that mesh and then all of
484
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:33,480
a sudden you're fazed.
485
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,280
Yeah.
486
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,360
Which would be great.
487
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,960
Yeah. You know, it'd be a
really cool way to kind of fill some
488
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,760
of those old zones, you know,
get people back in that area again,
489
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,640
people back in that world, you
know, that, that section of the world
490
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,000
and, and I mean housing's done
a great. Regardless of what they
491
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,960
choose to do. I'll die on this
hill easily. Housing has done so
492
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,240
many good things for this
game, especially for getting people
493
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600
out in the world again, you
know, like still to this day. Yes.
494
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,680
We're along past the honeymoon
phase of housing. People are still
495
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,760
out in the world. They're
still out there getting their stuff,
496
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,120
they're still farming stuff,
they're still getting that lumber.
497
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,680
So, you know. Yeah, it's a win.
498
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,440
And what's crazy is it's not
even like. Has it been officially
499
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,000
released?
500
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,640
Nope, nope, not yet.
501
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,120
It. That comes with midnight, right?
502
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,520
It comes with midnight. Yeah.
503
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,280
So we just got the early
access to it because were die hards
504
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400
and we, you know, paid the
money to be into it and all that
505
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,960
stuff. So yeah, I think. I
think a lot of people that are coming
506
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,360
back to the game for midnight
are going to have a pretty big surprise
507
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,960
with the housing system and
hopefully enjoy it. I would really
508
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,120
like to see it get the love
that it deserves, you know, because
509
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,920
they put a lot of work and
we've talked about it like this is
510
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,130
one system that was not mailed
in. No, it was very well done. People
511
00:30:55,130 --> 00:30:58,570
are loving it and I would
really like to see. Just like delves.
512
00:30:58,570 --> 00:31:02,450
I would like to see further
development on these things that
513
00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:05,850
they're talking about. I love
how they hint at stuff they may not
514
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:09,770
always be limited to instanced neighborhoods.
515
00:31:09,770 --> 00:31:10,170
Yeah.
516
00:31:10,170 --> 00:31:11,810
What does it mean? What's in
the box?
517
00:31:11,890 --> 00:31:16,450
What's it mean? So the bigger
part of this article. Well, I shouldn't
518
00:31:16,450 --> 00:31:20,390
say bigger part. The other
half is on character customization.
519
00:31:20,550 --> 00:31:22,550
And this has kind of been
discussed from the community for
520
00:31:22,550 --> 00:31:25,910
a long time. I know we've.
We've talked about it. Blizzard acknowledged
521
00:31:25,910 --> 00:31:30,230
there is no firm roadmap yet
for new racial cosmetics. Instead
522
00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:34,230
of small drops here and there.
Oh. Though like heritage armor, they're
523
00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:39,190
looking at a larger, more
comprehensive project. They've even
524
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:42,270
discussed improving character
animations. That though that is not
525
00:31:42,270 --> 00:31:46,240
coming soon. Blizzard also
addressed cosmetic clutter. So over
526
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:51,920
the years, many talents, toys,
abilities, they've. They've added
527
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,320
visual and audio effects, but
they weren't designed to work together.
528
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,960
So the team would like to
integrate cosmetic glyphs into the
529
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,200
new Transmog system, allowing
toward a more quote, consolidated
530
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,520
solution for customizing
appearances and effects. They also
531
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,420
acknowledge that some players
have asked for repeatedly more animations
532
00:32:11,420 --> 00:32:14,180
that reflect the role you're
playing. Whether that's tanking,
533
00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:17,820
healing or casting, it's part
of. And maybe one day you'll see
534
00:32:17,820 --> 00:32:21,620
support in there as a broader
customization system in the future.
535
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:23,940
Customization, man.
536
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:27,900
Yeah, I love to see this.
We've been talking about customization
537
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:29,300
a bit recently.
538
00:32:29,940 --> 00:32:30,500
Yeah.
539
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:32,660
And where we'd like to see
things go.
540
00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:38,030
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't wear.
Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Open her up.
541
00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:40,870
No, go ahead. I want to see. I
want to hear your thoughts on this
542
00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:44,070
first because I know where my
head's at and it's kind of wall of
543
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:46,630
crazy stuff, but I still think
it'd be awesome.
544
00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:49,150
Well, like where my head goes
at first, it may not be where you
545
00:32:49,150 --> 00:32:56,550
think I'm going. It's. I would
love to see a large updated option
546
00:32:56,550 --> 00:33:01,390
not Only options, but improved
visual customization on the playable
547
00:33:01,390 --> 00:33:06,120
races we already have. So,
like, humans, Kul Tirans, I would
548
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,960
love Kol Tyrants to be able to
have, I don't know, like, tattoos,
549
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,600
like pirate tattoos or
whatever. You know, just, like, just
550
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,600
fun things like that to
further immerse yourself in your
551
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,480
character, you know, and
especially as the game has really
552
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,840
started gravitating more
towards a broader play style of player.
553
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,240
Like, it's not just what it
once was, and now you're having these
554
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,520
people branch out, really get
into their characters. And so I really
555
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,800
do think it leaves room for
great opportunities for customization
556
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,520
for current races in the game.
557
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Okay. I agree 100%, and I'm
actually very happy that you brought
558
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,200
up the tattoo thing, because
right now, the tattoo options that
559
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:54,680
are in there are not great. I.
I really do think that. And I know
560
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
that some of it might not be,
like, lore centric and stuff, and
561
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,190
I understand that, but, you
know, like, neither is Harris Pilton.
562
00:34:01,270 --> 00:34:05,790
She's not Laura centric. Know
what I mean? She's. She's crossing
563
00:34:05,790 --> 00:34:10,830
that. That wall into
paralleling our life and pop culture
564
00:34:10,830 --> 00:34:14,629
and stuff. So I'm okay with.
With what I'm about to say. I would
565
00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:19,990
really love to see some. Some
way better tattoo options, like sleeves,
566
00:34:21,110 --> 00:34:24,190
traditional tattoos. And I
know how Blizzard would do it. Blizzard
567
00:34:24,190 --> 00:34:29,900
would. Blizzard would do it
very well. And, you know, maybe even.
568
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:32,500
Maybe there. Maybe there's
even, like, little World of Warcraft
569
00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:36,420
characters and stuff on some
type of a traditional sleeve test
570
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:39,740
tattoo or a big back piece or
something. Like, it's just part of
571
00:34:39,740 --> 00:34:40,819
society now.
572
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:41,540
Yeah.
573
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:46,020
You know, tattoos are a huge
thing now, so I think some better
574
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:49,900
tattoo choices would be. Would
be really neat. The one that. This
575
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:52,900
is kind of a small thing. This
isn't my wall of crazy idea. This
576
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:56,420
is. Is something that I've
thought about quite a bit. I would
577
00:34:56,420 --> 00:35:01,460
love to see the ability to
wear two back pieces if they complemented
578
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:08,940
each other. So what I mean is
like having a cape or cloak with
579
00:35:09,260 --> 00:35:11,740
a quiver or a backpack.
580
00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:12,460
Oh, yeah.
581
00:35:12,540 --> 00:35:15,060
You know what I mean? And I
know they probably would run into
582
00:35:15,060 --> 00:35:20,410
some clipping issues. And I'm
sorry, we will put something in our
583
00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:23,970
chat that says a large back
tattoo of Jayna Pradmore. Yes, buddy
584
00:35:27,650 --> 00:35:32,330
Cash is in. But, yeah, to be
able to have that. There's a lot
585
00:35:32,330 --> 00:35:34,970
of different choices in there.
And if they would meet up together,
586
00:35:34,970 --> 00:35:39,170
it would be cool to have,
like, imagine having, like, a spear
587
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:43,850
on your back and a backpack
spears behind it. Right. Or, you
588
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:47,010
know, the biggest one that I
think of is like a cloak and a quiver
589
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,440
for, for my hunter characters.
Make them look very, very sentinelly.
590
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,200
Ranger Ish. I think it'd be
super cool. Here's my wall of crazy
591
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,880
idea for customization. And
this dips into systems. So I get
592
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,000
it if people are like, dude,
shut up. Because my answer will be,
593
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:12,800
okay, I'll shut up. But I
would love for my characters to be
594
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,320
able to have two weapons.
595
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:15,840
Oh yeah.
596
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,920
Not dual wield. I mean switchable.
597
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,440
Oh, that's definitely. Yeah.
598
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,160
Like a pair of swords.
599
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,040
Yeah.
600
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:32,040
And a bow. Yeah, I know that's
nuts and I know that's huge gameplay
601
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:37,040
system changes, but how
awesome would it be from a role play
602
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,570
and combat perspective to be
able to have to, you know, dual weapons?
603
00:36:42,570 --> 00:36:45,690
I think would be so cool. And
I'll leave it there. I'm going to
604
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:47,090
shut up because I know that's crazy.
605
00:36:47,090 --> 00:36:51,690
But yeah, I mean it's like the
ultimate Aragorn Fancy. If you're
606
00:36:51,690 --> 00:36:54,810
playing a hunter, right. I
mean, you know, or when you're watching
607
00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:59,290
Gandalf and he's wielding a
staff and a sword at the same time.
608
00:36:59,450 --> 00:37:02,930
I mean it's just like, you
know. Yeah. And I get where your
609
00:37:02,930 --> 00:37:06,370
head's at with it, especially
when you look at the MMO overall,
610
00:37:06,370 --> 00:37:08,290
like when you're. Everything
you're saying, when you're looking
611
00:37:08,290 --> 00:37:11,300
at the MMO genre as a whole,
you know, like MMOs allowing for
612
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:16,380
tattoos and more eccentric
tattoos and more customization between
613
00:37:16,380 --> 00:37:19,620
whenever you can, you know,
how the, how you're carrying your
614
00:37:19,620 --> 00:37:22,580
weapons and that sort of
thing. So yeah, yeah, I get it. I
615
00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:24,300
get that wall. I get that crazy.
616
00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:29,940
I mean even when you think
about it, like vanilla used to be
617
00:37:29,940 --> 00:37:35,380
that way and at least I know
on a, on a hunter it was. You had
618
00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:39,290
a range for your range weapon
and as soon as something closed the
619
00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:42,010
distance you had skills with a
620
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:45,650
one hander, you had to switch.
Yeah, that was, that's so tell you
621
00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:46,370
it was.
622
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:48,050
It was already there.
623
00:37:48,690 --> 00:37:53,330
I'm just saying classic is
great for the roleplay or RPG experience.
624
00:37:53,490 --> 00:37:56,050
You're good. You'll get it
there. Play with, you know, like
625
00:37:56,050 --> 00:37:59,090
really kind of really embodies
the playing what you want, how you
626
00:37:59,090 --> 00:38:03,050
want kind of thing. But
anywho. So yeah, folks, you can go
627
00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:06,450
check this out. This is
over@wowhead.com Next up, we have
628
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:11,510
discovered dream homes get
free decor with Zillow for Warcraft
629
00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:14,310
again coming to us from
wowhead.com now this is out right
630
00:38:14,310 --> 00:38:16,830
now. Blizzard has announced a
new Partnership with Zillow. We knew
631
00:38:16,830 --> 00:38:21,070
that was a thing. Right. Well,
this is part of Zillow's Sometime
632
00:38:22,510 --> 00:38:26,790
Starts Today campaign. So
there's of course no real buying
633
00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:29,910
or selling involved. It's just
themed after plot listings. And of
634
00:38:29,910 --> 00:38:32,990
course you have your. Your
real estate agents there, which you
635
00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:35,670
can send email to. Which we
did, by the way. You don't know that.
636
00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:39,290
We totally did. From. From
Azeroth Morning radio to our agent.
637
00:38:39,290 --> 00:38:42,610
She is a gnome. Told her we
were both looking for a home that
638
00:38:42,610 --> 00:38:45,690
Gibbs prefers around the sea
and you prefer the forest. So we're
639
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:51,530
waiting for a response from
our. Our gnome sales agent, so we'll
640
00:38:51,530 --> 00:38:54,930
keep looking for that. But
Blizzard describes this. I know.
641
00:38:54,930 --> 00:38:57,690
This is amazing. Blizzard
describes it as, quote, welcome to
642
00:38:57,690 --> 00:39:00,130
the neighborhood. Whether
you're looking for a tropical retreat
643
00:39:00,130 --> 00:39:03,930
where you can. Hang on. I need
to do this for properly. Welcome
644
00:39:03,930 --> 00:39:06,530
to the neighborhood. Whether
you're looking for a tropical retreat
645
00:39:06,530 --> 00:39:10,450
where you can skip Kaja Cola
under the sun. Oh, sip, not skip.
646
00:39:10,530 --> 00:39:14,930
Or an idyllic spot where the
neighbors are quiet as the grave.
647
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:19,730
Zillow for Warcraft has what
you need in quote, players can visit
648
00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:21,970
zillow.comwarcraft to explore
the listings.
649
00:39:22,050 --> 00:39:25,410
That was actually a really
good, really good brochure until
650
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:26,690
you had a stroke in the middle
of it.
651
00:39:26,690 --> 00:39:30,130
No, I know. I kind of choked
out there a little bit. So.
652
00:39:30,130 --> 00:39:31,210
Yeah, a little bit of a minister.
653
00:39:31,850 --> 00:39:34,330
A little bit. A little bit.
Now, they did add a cool thing in
654
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:37,570
there, though, that it's a
naturally elegant doormat. So anybody
655
00:39:37,570 --> 00:39:40,730
that you know gets in there,
you can claim it. I claimed mine
656
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:43,610
for my home. You get a free
doormat. I'm just like, this is.
657
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:47,130
This is cool. And now they. By
the way, we're not even really talking
658
00:39:47,130 --> 00:39:51,370
about this today, but they've
also integrated Pinterest into Warcraft
659
00:39:51,370 --> 00:39:57,070
now. So you can. And you can
connect your game to your Pinterest
660
00:39:57,070 --> 00:40:00,230
accounts and start making
posts from your pictures in the game.
661
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:04,070
Who has a Pinterest account?
We're grown men here.
662
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:05,070
You have one.
663
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:06,790
Why would we have Pinterest account?
664
00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:10,350
You have one. And you probably
have a subscription somewhere buried
665
00:40:10,350 --> 00:40:15,030
in your wall of subscriptions
that you always forget you have.
666
00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:17,430
You're the definition of that commercial.
667
00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:18,950
I know you do.
668
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:21,930
I 100 have a Pinterest account.
669
00:40:22,090 --> 00:40:25,410
I know you do. I know you do.
It's always a blast whenever I talk
670
00:40:25,410 --> 00:40:27,770
to you on the phone. You are
the embodiment of that guy on the.
671
00:40:27,770 --> 00:40:30,930
On those commercials that's
like from Rocket Mail or whatever
672
00:40:30,930 --> 00:40:34,370
that app is. Rocket app. Oh, I
saved over $400. Cause I found out
673
00:40:34,370 --> 00:40:36,770
that I have seven different
subscriptions that I didn't even
674
00:40:36,770 --> 00:40:39,930
realize I still had. That's
you 100%.
675
00:40:40,330 --> 00:40:42,250
You make me sound like I'm a
cheap ass.
676
00:40:42,490 --> 00:40:53,270
Whee. I love you. I love you
more than my next breath. But if
677
00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:53,750
the boot.
678
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:55,510
I'm not cheap. I'm thrifty.
679
00:40:56,950 --> 00:41:01,950
Okay. All right. Yeah. That
said, folks, you can go check this
680
00:41:01,950 --> 00:41:08,670
out@wowhead.com Gosh. And then
finally watch the Liadrin. Liadrin.
681
00:41:08,670 --> 00:41:16,880
Sorry, excuse me. Animation.
All that is sacred. This holy cow
682
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,240
made some waves this week,
folks. This coming to us from wowhead.com's
683
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:27,120
In Azeroth's darkest hour,
Liadrin stands against the void,
684
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:33,520
knowing that with the light by
her side, darkness will never prevail.
685
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:38,120
End quote. This was a full on
animation that I don't want to spoil
686
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,890
it for, like taking
everything, you know, like detailing
687
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:49,850
every little thing, but I tell
you, that was. I felt like I was
688
00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:53,730
watching a Netflix series. I
got for. It was like five minutes.
689
00:41:53,730 --> 00:42:00,450
I was able to lose myself and
I'm like, I. I see. Oh my gosh. This
690
00:42:00,450 --> 00:42:03,690
is like watching Castlevania
on Netflix. Like that style of art,
691
00:42:03,690 --> 00:42:05,530
right? Like, you're just
watching this and you're like, oh,
692
00:42:05,530 --> 00:42:10,580
my gosh. I'm here in Azeroth
and I'm watching this on the screen.
693
00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:11,900
It was amazing.
694
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:13,540
Have you ever been tickled by
a feather?
695
00:42:13,540 --> 00:42:14,060
Mm.
696
00:42:14,060 --> 00:42:17,300
You look at the smile on your
face. You have no idea where I'm
697
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,380
going with this. Do you like
this? This is a family show.
698
00:42:22,580 --> 00:42:26,340
You know what? After 14 years
of casting with you, I'm just like,
699
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:28,300
he'll bring it around. We'll
get. We'll.
700
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:33,380
We'll figure it out. We might
lose some listeners in the process.
701
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,160
We'll gain 5 more.
702
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,320
No, it's all right. Oh, my
God. Okay, my whole point is, have
703
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,280
you ever been tickled by a
feather? It is that it's moment where
704
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,440
you're like, stop. Don't.
Don't stop. Stop it. Please don't
705
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,920
stop. It feels so good. That's
how I felt with this. And the reason
706
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,000
I say there's, there's like a,
there's a dichotomy there. Because
707
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:02,910
I'm a grown man, I shouldn't
like cartoons. And bless my daughter's
708
00:43:02,910 --> 00:43:09,590
heart, she has tried so hard
to get me into anime. And there's.
709
00:43:09,590 --> 00:43:12,510
There's certain anime that I
will watch. Like if it, if it's like
710
00:43:12,510 --> 00:43:15,590
a fantasy style anime, because
that's just my. My shtick, right?
711
00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:22,510
I love fantasy, wizards,
swords, dragons, anything like World
712
00:43:22,510 --> 00:43:25,470
of Warcraft. I'm all about it.
So I'll sit down and watch those
713
00:43:25,470 --> 00:43:30,320
with her. It's. It's some of
the more, you know, crazy ones where
714
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,320
there's a lot of screaming and
stuff that I'm really not into with
715
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,680
anime, but I'm a grown man. I
shouldn't be watching cartoons. And
716
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,520
then I see something that's
within my genre, and I'm just like,
717
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:46,760
hell, yes. I would watch this
all day. And the best example that
718
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:52,280
I have for that is the Arcane
series with League of Legends. And
719
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,000
we've talked about this,
right? Like, I was never really.
720
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200
I've tried League of Legends,
the game, but I'm not. I'm not really
721
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,040
a League of Legends player,
but I am a fan of their lore because
722
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,320
it's done very, very well. And
I loved Arcane. I thought it was
723
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:13,600
so wonderfully done. And I'm
watching this, getting into the characters,
724
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:19,240
recognizing characters. And I
know you are as. As a paladin by
725
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:24,170
at heart, you 100% recognize
characters in this. And the only
726
00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:28,490
thing that I could think of is
definitively, we need an animated
727
00:44:28,490 --> 00:44:33,050
series for World of Warcraft.
They have to do this. And I don't
728
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:37,210
know if they're hinting at
something, and I know it takes a
729
00:44:37,210 --> 00:44:39,490
ton of work to get to do these
things and get them done, but if
730
00:44:39,490 --> 00:44:42,090
there is a company out there
that has the resources to do something
731
00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:45,010
like this and just knock it
out of the park, you're partnering
732
00:44:45,010 --> 00:44:49,900
with Zillow. You're partnering
with freaking Pringles. Please partner
733
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:55,540
with Netflix and bring your
fans in animated series, because
734
00:44:55,540 --> 00:45:01,460
you can clearly execute on
this type of genre.
735
00:45:01,620 --> 00:45:02,420
I tell you.
736
00:45:02,740 --> 00:45:03,540
Yeah, that's it.
737
00:45:03,540 --> 00:45:05,500
And the storytelling was
there. And by the way, hey, I would
738
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:07,580
just personally, do you
recommend. There's a Witcher series,
739
00:45:07,580 --> 00:45:10,540
A cartoon series. It's. And I
only watch the adult ones. Like,
740
00:45:10,540 --> 00:45:13,420
I'm not watching, like, it has
to be TV mature for me to really
741
00:45:13,420 --> 00:45:16,560
get into those. And I would
encourage you to, number one, pick
742
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,000
up the Castlevania series on
Netflix, watch it, release the first
743
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,640
episode, and check out the
Witcher series as well. They're.
744
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,800
They're cartooning and. Oh,
it's like, meant for adults. And
745
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,159
it's Chef's Kiss. And I tell
you, watching this, there was a moment
746
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:36,880
when Liadrin's talking to
Alonza's fowl, which, dude, I. Okay,
747
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:43,240
so I read the book before the
Storm in is the prequel book to bfa.
748
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,600
I read that on Audible. It
wasn't very long ago that I finished
749
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,640
it. And Alonza's fowl is in
it. And it. There's this whole scene,
750
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,600
this thing that takes place
with him and Turalyon, right? And
751
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,080
I'm not going to spoil it for
anybody, but, like, you just really
752
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,960
grew to love this priest who's
now undead. And I tell you what,
753
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,640
there was a moment when he is
walking with Liadrin and they're
754
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,770
just walking through the
forest carrying a conversation. Nothing
755
00:46:08,770 --> 00:46:13,210
of note is happening, but
they're just having a conversation.
756
00:46:13,210 --> 00:46:16,490
And it was just this glimpse,
a glimpse of just me watching. And
757
00:46:16,490 --> 00:46:20,290
I'm just thinking to myself,
like, I'm watching an animated series
758
00:46:20,290 --> 00:46:23,849
of the world I love. Like, it
just felt like for a moment, you
759
00:46:23,849 --> 00:46:26,970
weren't watching a trailer,
you weren't watching a quick short.
760
00:46:26,970 --> 00:46:31,010
You were in this world. It was
animated series that you love. And
761
00:46:31,090 --> 00:46:35,020
in the back of my mind, what
starts to ring is a comment that
762
00:46:35,020 --> 00:46:38,980
Holly recently made and she
talked about, and I forget the verb.
763
00:46:38,980 --> 00:46:43,380
I wish I could quote it, but
basically she said, we have plans
764
00:46:43,380 --> 00:46:46,980
for this IP to be so much
bigger. Like, so much bigger than
765
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:47,660
what it is.
766
00:46:48,060 --> 00:46:50,300
Right? Yes, I remember that.
767
00:46:50,540 --> 00:46:56,420
And I. I'm just like, yes,
please, yes, please. Because within
768
00:46:56,420 --> 00:47:00,240
that same animated short, I
got to watch Alonza's Val for fight.
769
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,120
And I'm freaking out. I'm
grabbing my cat, holding it up in
770
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,080
the air. Alachus is fighting.
It's the father of Paladins. And
771
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,200
he's fighting and he's
spinning at his staff. I'm like,
772
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,360
I didn't know he could move
like that. Look at him go. And I'm
773
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,400
just like, freaking out.
774
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,560
I'm like, oh, my gosh, is your
cat okay?
775
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,200
My cat's staring at me. I'm
staring at my cat. I'm like alot.
776
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,400
And it's just like meow. And
you know, like,
777
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,800
It was a poor little druid.
778
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,520
Not really. None of that
happened. But anyway, it was a moment,
779
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,290
man. Like, I just. Just full
on geeked out watching the father
780
00:47:33,290 --> 00:47:39,330
of Paladins do work. And it
was all in the world we love. And
781
00:47:39,330 --> 00:47:45,290
I'm just like, yes, guys, yes,
so much. Yes, so much. Yes.
782
00:47:45,450 --> 00:47:48,570
Yeah. And they know it. They
know they have an audience for this,
783
00:47:48,970 --> 00:47:52,330
you know, and it just. The
funny, funny thing about that too
784
00:47:52,330 --> 00:47:56,930
is when I was reading Blood
Ties, you had said something before
785
00:47:56,930 --> 00:47:59,890
I started reading it that.
That resonated with me, and it kind
786
00:47:59,890 --> 00:48:02,260
of Stuck in my head the thing
whole time that I was. That I was
787
00:48:02,260 --> 00:48:03,260
absorbing that book.
788
00:48:03,260 --> 00:48:04,380
Oh, gosh. What I say.
789
00:48:04,540 --> 00:48:07,540
And. No, no, no, it was. It
was. It was really good and really
790
00:48:07,540 --> 00:48:12,340
true. But you said it's very
easy to, like, the story is very
791
00:48:12,340 --> 00:48:15,020
easy to follow. And maybe you
said that because you thought I was
792
00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:16,540
a little more simple than most people.
793
00:48:17,420 --> 00:48:18,700
No, I remember that.
794
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:25,660
No, just so you know, it's
very easy to follow. It's like a
795
00:48:25,660 --> 00:48:30,740
kid's, which. I mean, it was
very easy to follow, but it, you
796
00:48:30,740 --> 00:48:33,620
know. No, it's not a kid's
book. But the whole time I was reading
797
00:48:33,620 --> 00:48:39,140
that book, I was. You can
picture that book as an animated
798
00:48:39,140 --> 00:48:44,220
series very easily. Every
scene, you know, every scene seemed
799
00:48:44,220 --> 00:48:47,980
to me like it was okay. And
I'm picturing the whole thing, and
800
00:48:47,980 --> 00:48:51,060
I guess any book could really
be that way in a fantasy setting,
801
00:48:51,060 --> 00:48:57,230
right? But I just. I was
picturing the entire book as it played
802
00:48:57,230 --> 00:49:01,510
out as being an animated
series or a series. I just. Like,
803
00:49:01,510 --> 00:49:05,630
this would be a great movie.
So really, you know, you look at
804
00:49:05,630 --> 00:49:11,390
the stories that the game
tells, which some are fantastic and
805
00:49:11,550 --> 00:49:15,830
some have been kind of meh.
But you want to talk about getting
806
00:49:15,830 --> 00:49:21,130
people wrapped around your
lore and loving your lore. This is
807
00:49:21,130 --> 00:49:29,090
a way to do it. I have always
loved IPs that make you feel like
808
00:49:29,090 --> 00:49:33,330
you're in the game when you
cannot be in the game. And that's
809
00:49:33,330 --> 00:49:36,370
something that we talk about a
lot here on our show because that's.
810
00:49:36,690 --> 00:49:41,370
That's what we want to do for
you with our show. We want you to
811
00:49:41,370 --> 00:49:45,050
feel like you're getting a
taste of Azeroth when you can't be
812
00:49:45,050 --> 00:49:50,210
playing the game yourself. So
I've always loved IPs that have book
813
00:49:50,210 --> 00:49:56,810
series and comics and shows
and all kinds of other things that
814
00:49:56,810 --> 00:50:00,770
you can be doing when you're
not playing that IPs game. This is
815
00:50:00,770 --> 00:50:04,930
how you do it. This is how you
rope people in. You want to talk
816
00:50:04,930 --> 00:50:07,850
about a larger audience. You
have a bunch of people out there
817
00:50:07,850 --> 00:50:10,970
that have never played World
of Warcraft, and then you drop something,
818
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,120
something like this on
Netflix, and people will be like,
819
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,920
this is actually a really cool
world. I'm interested to see more
820
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,880
sub. And now all of a sudden,
people are playing your game, right?
821
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,000
So I'm not trying to market
for Blizzard because they're clearly
822
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,480
smarter than me when it comes
to Mark, you know, marketing their.
823
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,560
Their ip, but I'm just saying
that the people want this. So it's
824
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,360
all I could think about when I
saw this thing, I loved the drop.
825
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,000
I love that this is, you know,
this is the world. This is the story
826
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,480
that we're going into in a
week and I cannot wait to see more.
827
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,360
It's. It just got me pumped up
to play through the main campaign
828
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,320
and take my damn time doing it.
829
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,760
I'll tell you what got me
pumped up to do was I couldn't log
830
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:04,040
into my paladin fast enough. I
couldn't hit play game quick enough.
831
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,070
Oh, man, it was. Yeah, I
agree. Everything you're saying.
832
00:51:09,070 --> 00:51:13,590
A hundred percent. 110%.
Folks, let us know your thoughts.
833
00:51:13,590 --> 00:51:16,990
You want to see an animated
series, tell us in the comments which
834
00:51:17,070 --> 00:51:22,990
storyline you would love for
them to do first. From World of Warcraft.
835
00:51:23,390 --> 00:51:24,270
Ready for Snark?
836
00:51:24,270 --> 00:51:42,680
Let's do it. Snark online.
Friends, Snark has returned this
837
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,040
week and we got a. We got a
comment which was pretty funny. Somebody
838
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,720
was upset because we didn't
have a lore lesson last week. I don't
839
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:51,960
know if they were upset, but
they made a comment like, this is
840
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,360
the first episode. You guys
haven't had a lore lesson like, don't
841
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,120
worry, it's coming back. Our
segments are going to be normal this
842
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:03,130
week. So anyway, with that
normalcy comes Snark, my friends.
843
00:52:03,130 --> 00:52:07,850
And this week we are. We
don't. This isn't such a snarky topic
844
00:52:07,850 --> 00:52:14,530
this week. This is more of a.
A thank you to some folks out there
845
00:52:14,530 --> 00:52:17,730
who have made our gameplay
experience a little bit better. So
846
00:52:17,730 --> 00:52:22,650
this segment for Snark is
called Content Creator Carries. You
847
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:27,330
know how you have that one
part in every expansion where you
848
00:52:27,330 --> 00:52:30,570
hit a moment and you pretend
like you figured something out on
849
00:52:30,570 --> 00:52:35,930
your own? Nah, you didn't. You
probably watched a video, figured
850
00:52:35,930 --> 00:52:39,610
it out that way. Somebody else
did it first. So anyway, Content
851
00:52:39,610 --> 00:52:44,210
Creator Carries is where we
admit publicly and without shame
852
00:52:44,370 --> 00:52:48,690
that our efficiency in World
of Warcraft has been largely outsourced
853
00:52:48,930 --> 00:52:53,950
to YouTube and we're
completely fine with it. So we're
854
00:52:53,950 --> 00:52:57,270
going to run through a list of
some of our favorite content creators,
855
00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:01,590
the different guides they
make, breakdowns, deep dives, and
856
00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:09,990
how they overall help us don't
waste time doing this that have really
857
00:53:10,150 --> 00:53:14,790
honestly saved us probably
hundreds of hours of doing stuff
858
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:18,870
on our own and probably a good
handful of gold at the same time.
859
00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:25,790
So these channels over, over
the years, and I know jibs like some
860
00:53:25,790 --> 00:53:29,550
of these, but I suppose this
is mostly my list because I, you
861
00:53:29,550 --> 00:53:33,630
know, came up with this
segment this week, but, you know,
862
00:53:33,630 --> 00:53:36,990
you can find yourself swimming
in circles a lot of times. With some
863
00:53:36,990 --> 00:53:40,350
of the things that you're
trying to figure out, getting yourself
864
00:53:40,350 --> 00:53:45,160
focused, systems that make you
pull your hair out and you're just
865
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,800
like, I just don't understand
this or how do I optimize this build?
866
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,240
Or I don't want to read all
the patch notes. So you go to some
867
00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:56,680
of your favorite content
creators out there and here are some
868
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:02,440
of our favorites. Starting off
with Dalaran the Rogue. Oh yeah,
869
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:07,120
Dalaran Gaming is on YouTube
and it. What's funny about a lot
870
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,360
of these, you might not
necessarily recognize the name, but
871
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,200
if we were to put a video on
of these people, you'd be like, oh
872
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:17,720
yeah, I've watched some of
their videos before.
873
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:18,520
Yep.
874
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,200
So anyway, the first one I
wanted to cover was Dalaran Gaming.
875
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:29,880
He provides a bunch of videos,
just a huge variety, PvP game updates,
876
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,920
class videos. And some of the
things that I love about Dalaran
877
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,960
is that he's super in depth in
commentary and energetic when he
878
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,240
delivers it. And that's just
like patch notes. Like he can make
879
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:45,640
patch notes fun. And the
videos are very, very easy to follow.
880
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,040
One of the latest videos that
Dalaran put out was Midnight Class
881
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:56,520
tuning and soloing content for
rare mounts. So with the latest patch
882
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:02,880
that we received, some of the
Dragonflight stuff is, is now soloable
883
00:55:03,350 --> 00:55:06,070
and you can, you can basically
grind some of that stuff out and
884
00:55:06,070 --> 00:55:09,670
farm some of the rare mounts
that you needed help with before
885
00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:13,710
and now they're soloable. So I
put a video out on that. So anyway,
886
00:55:13,710 --> 00:55:18,790
Dalaran Gaming, thank you for
the work that you do. Much appreciated.
887
00:55:19,029 --> 00:55:24,790
Another one I wanted to cover
in this segment is I love her so,
888
00:55:24,790 --> 00:55:28,665
so much. She makes me laugh.
She's been making videos for a time.
889
00:55:28,665 --> 00:55:34,080
Long, long, long time. And
that's hazelnutty games you might
890
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,800
have seen videos from. She's
been doing videos for forever. Anyway,
891
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,520
she's a YouTuber. She covers
news tips, she does boss guides.
892
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,680
But she's just, she's very
funny, she's very sweet, very personable,
893
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,520
and she's flat out just
entertaining to watch. So you can
894
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,050
catch her live streams. And
her tip videos are usually very,
895
00:55:57,050 --> 00:56:01,250
very good, very easy to
follow. One of her latest videos
896
00:56:01,250 --> 00:56:05,410
is how to get some of the
newest mounts in Midnight. And then
897
00:56:05,410 --> 00:56:08,930
she has another, another one
recently that is a speculation of
898
00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:13,130
the end of Pet Battles in
Warcraft, which has been rumored.
899
00:56:13,130 --> 00:56:16,570
So she kind of goes into it
and has pretty interesting, interesting
900
00:56:16,570 --> 00:56:22,420
perspective on losing Pet
battles in Warcraft. Another one
901
00:56:22,980 --> 00:56:27,740
that I love is Signs of
Kalani. You'll know this one because
902
00:56:27,740 --> 00:56:32,180
Kalani starts every video
with, hey, folks, this is Kehlani.
903
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:35,860
You know who I'm talking
about. If you've seen any of Kalani's
904
00:56:35,860 --> 00:56:40,980
videos. Anyway, again, you
know how to's Warcraft guides and
905
00:56:40,980 --> 00:56:45,260
Kalani's been making videos
for about a decade, but just a super
906
00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:50,200
chill youtuber, very easy to
find and very, very easy to follow.
907
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:57,360
Guides on the most recent
relevant content. And Kalani really
908
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:02,000
plays through the stuff that
he's talking about. And the way you
909
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,280
know this is because most of
the background videos that Kalani
910
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,800
is talking about is his
characters playing through the exact
911
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:16,570
content that he's talking
about. That is a skill and that is
912
00:57:16,570 --> 00:57:22,210
very difficult to do. So that
just takes a lot of organization
913
00:57:22,290 --> 00:57:27,050
from a content creator
perspective to categorize. You take
914
00:57:27,050 --> 00:57:31,810
your video, categorize your
video and narrate to that same video
915
00:57:32,050 --> 00:57:36,090
is difficult to do. So kind
of, I don't know, I guess maybe a
916
00:57:36,090 --> 00:57:41,890
trained eye can see the skill
that he has there in being able to
917
00:57:41,890 --> 00:57:49,090
pull that off. So very, very
cool. Now, Jibs, I know that you
918
00:57:49,090 --> 00:57:55,890
know the next one and I have
to give a massive shout out to Tested
919
00:57:55,890 --> 00:58:01,850
Weevil, who's in here right
now. And I was able to dive into
920
00:58:02,010 --> 00:58:03,610
Dvalin Gaming.
921
00:58:04,010 --> 00:58:04,490
Yeah.
922
00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:06,810
And really watch these videos.
923
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:07,760
Yeah.
924
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:14,200
And it was very surprising. So
Dvalin Gaming is a gamer dad from
925
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,280
Denmark. He's a streamer and
YouTuber. He focuses on guides, news
926
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:23,560
and gameplay. But the thing
that caught my attention is the content
927
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:27,480
that he delivers and the
environment that he delivers it in
928
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:34,330
is so chill and so peaceful to
your mind. Like just the music he
929
00:58:34,330 --> 00:58:41,250
plays, his presentation value,
and his voice is so, so, so good.
930
00:58:41,490 --> 00:58:46,210
It's very good. Here's the
other thing that's. It's very interesting
931
00:58:46,210 --> 00:58:50,850
and it very much should
resonate with the casual audience.
932
00:58:51,490 --> 00:58:56,370
Dvalin is a huge proponent of
the game assist features like the
933
00:58:56,370 --> 00:59:00,090
single button rotation and the
assisted highlight features. Dvalin
934
00:59:00,890 --> 00:59:05,490
makes builds around these
features to help you increase your
935
00:59:05,490 --> 00:59:10,730
damage potential. And we know
that they work because our friend
936
00:59:10,730 --> 00:59:14,729
Weevil was talking about this
and he's like, this guy significantly
937
00:59:14,729 --> 00:59:21,410
increased my dps, which,
however you feel about these assistance
938
00:59:21,410 --> 00:59:26,390
tools, if you use them, you
do. If you don't, then, you know,
939
00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:30,830
skip past this part. But it
helps. These tools help a ton of
940
00:59:30,830 --> 00:59:35,110
people. People still want to
be competitive. They want to be able
941
00:59:35,110 --> 00:59:39,270
to see what's on the ground
and be able to still provide good
942
00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:44,870
DPS and good support for their
group. So however you feel about
943
00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:49,670
it, this is helping A ton of
people. And if it makes your gameplay
944
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:53,670
more enjoyable, freaking use them.
945
00:59:54,150 --> 00:59:54,870
Oh yeah.
946
00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:59,510
Number one, nobody's gonna
know. And number two, who cares?
947
00:59:59,510 --> 01:00:00,310
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
948
01:00:00,470 --> 01:00:02,550
This is, it's your game. You
pay yourself.
949
01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:05,350
Yeah, you, you pay your $15 a
month. You want to roll a different
950
01:00:05,350 --> 01:00:09,910
alt every day. Do it. You want
to play. Yeah. I, I, I will never,
951
01:00:10,870 --> 01:00:14,550
I will always be an advocate
for the one button rotation that
952
01:00:15,030 --> 01:00:20,500
brought so, such accessibility
for so many people. You know, I'll
953
01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:23,420
never forget the comment I
read. Due to physical disability,
954
01:00:23,420 --> 01:00:29,420
this person always wanted to
push ranking in Arena. In PvP World
955
01:00:29,420 --> 01:00:31,500
of Warcraft, they couldn't do
it just to physical limitations.
956
01:00:31,500 --> 01:00:33,420
Because of the one button
rotation, they were able to get their
957
01:00:33,420 --> 01:00:36,260
rating and get their gear for
the first time ever. I was like,
958
01:00:36,340 --> 01:00:39,820
that's right there. Right
there. One of the most stressful
959
01:00:39,820 --> 01:00:43,060
things, it's a win. One of the
most, the more stressful components
960
01:00:43,060 --> 01:00:47,300
to World of Warcraft is Arena
PvP for very, for a lot of people.
961
01:00:47,460 --> 01:00:50,420
And they were able just to go
out and get their stuff because of
962
01:00:50,420 --> 01:00:53,540
one button rotation. It's
awesome. It's awesome.
963
01:00:53,620 --> 01:00:56,980
Right? And, and remember too,
with the, with the one button rotation,
964
01:00:57,380 --> 01:01:02,500
it doesn't completely, doesn't
completely remove all of your skills
965
01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:05,260
and just put it into one, into
one button. It's just your damage
966
01:01:05,260 --> 01:01:09,380
skills. Yeah, that's it. All
your utility is still on you.
967
01:01:09,700 --> 01:01:10,180
Yeah.
968
01:01:10,420 --> 01:01:15,870
So, you know, as a way to
learn your class, use these tools
969
01:01:16,190 --> 01:01:20,630
as a way to continue once you
have learned your class, if you find
970
01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:22,990
that you like it, use these tools.
971
01:01:23,390 --> 01:01:24,110
Definitely.
972
01:01:24,110 --> 01:01:30,150
Who cares? Okay. The thing
that I love about Dvalin is very
973
01:01:30,150 --> 01:01:34,670
passionate about teaching
people how to make their gameplay
974
01:01:34,910 --> 01:01:39,000
better through using these
tools. And to me, it, it is legitimizing
975
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:44,720
feature that many players can
downplay. So take a look at it if
976
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,480
it's, if it's your shtick.
Check out some of his videos. Some
977
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,400
of his latest ones, he did one
single button assistant versus the
978
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,800
assisted highlight for DPS on
a mage, and he does this on different
979
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,160
classes. And it's very
interesting to see the differences
980
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:04,330
between the two. And you can
see what Blizzard has done based
981
01:02:04,330 --> 01:02:09,330
on some of these tests. Single
button rotation, at least in this
982
01:02:09,330 --> 01:02:17,210
particular video, had about a
12% decrease in DPS from the assisted
983
01:02:17,210 --> 01:02:23,690
highlight for, for delivering
DPS. So they kind of stepped it up
984
01:02:23,690 --> 01:02:28,900
a little bit. If you, if you
really want like full support, use
985
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:31,860
a single button. If you want
to take it a step further, use the
986
01:02:31,860 --> 01:02:35,540
assisted highlight. If you
don't like these, play it as you
987
01:02:35,540 --> 01:02:39,700
will. Your rotation is your
own. So I love it that both of these
988
01:02:39,700 --> 01:02:44,300
things have been built in to
the game and I love the way that
989
01:02:44,300 --> 01:02:50,980
Dvalin delivers it. So again,
thank you. Thanks for assisting in
990
01:02:50,980 --> 01:02:53,860
delivering this game to, you
know, people who will really take
991
01:02:53,860 --> 01:02:57,910
advantage of this in their
gameplay. More fun. All right, last
992
01:02:57,910 --> 01:03:03,350
one. Certainly not the least
one. As a matter of fact, it's my
993
01:03:03,350 --> 01:03:08,670
favorite. So I'm going to
throw this out there because these
994
01:03:08,750 --> 01:03:16,110
dudes have taught me a ton and
they've done it in a very consumable
995
01:03:16,110 --> 01:03:21,270
way. And I'm talking about the
Comeback Kids. If you've never watched
996
01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:26,050
their videos, the Comeback
Kids are two brothers with a weekly
997
01:03:26,050 --> 01:03:30,570
video show where they talk
about Warcraft. But the, the big
998
01:03:30,570 --> 01:03:33,050
highlight here and that's
great, but the big highlight here
999
01:03:33,050 --> 01:03:37,730
for me is their how in depth
their videos can be on the latest
1000
01:03:39,970 --> 01:03:44,850
features of Warcraft. Their
videos get right to the point, like
1001
01:03:44,850 --> 01:03:49,210
there's, there's no fluff.
Their presentation value is excellent.
1002
01:03:49,210 --> 01:03:53,890
They are very comfortable on
the mic and in front of a screen,
1003
01:03:54,210 --> 01:04:00,210
which again, there, there's a,
there's a measure of talent there.
1004
01:04:01,010 --> 01:04:04,370
And these, these dudes are
very, very comfortable doing it.
1005
01:04:05,410 --> 01:04:12,090
Their presentation value is
very, very good. And with their videos,
1006
01:04:12,090 --> 01:04:18,700
like, they sum up and give you
a roadmap on how to approach each
1007
01:04:18,860 --> 01:04:24,260
patch, different mechanics in
the game, leveling gear, working
1008
01:04:24,260 --> 01:04:27,780
through the different systems
and features and really giving you
1009
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:33,100
a good guide how to do it. And
on top of that, one of the best features
1010
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:38,260
of their videos is that they
will kind of pause and put lists
1011
01:04:38,260 --> 01:04:42,140
on the screen so you can
screenshot it and come back to it.
1012
01:04:43,090 --> 01:04:46,170
You know, whether it's you
screenshotting with, you know, snippet
1013
01:04:46,170 --> 01:04:48,290
or whatever you use on your
computer, or if you're just taking
1014
01:04:48,290 --> 01:04:52,370
a picture with your iPhone,
which is what I do, I'm like, click
1015
01:04:52,530 --> 01:04:56,050
and then I can come back to it
when I'm in game playing. And it's
1016
01:04:56,050 --> 01:04:59,850
very, it's good content, the
information is usable. And I will
1017
01:04:59,850 --> 01:05:03,170
say right now there has not
been a single video that I have watched
1018
01:05:03,170 --> 01:05:07,250
from them where I didn't learn
something new about this game that
1019
01:05:07,250 --> 01:05:12,380
I've been playing for over 20
years. So my hat is off to these
1020
01:05:12,380 --> 01:05:16,740
guys. Their latest video is
how to prepare solo for Midnight,
1021
01:05:17,220 --> 01:05:20,300
which gives you a bunch of
great tips and tricks. There's, there's
1022
01:05:20,300 --> 01:05:24,660
a tip in there about how to
level from, from 70 to 80 without
1023
01:05:24,819 --> 01:05:29,260
doing any combat. And it's
brilliant because they're they're
1024
01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,780
setting. I'll just give it
away. They're setting up your crafting
1025
01:05:32,180 --> 01:05:37,520
or for you to make some money
in midnight. It's just. It's so good.
1026
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,320
It's so good. And I know
you've watched your videos too, Jibs,
1027
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,960
and I know you feel the same
way about these two dudes. And I
1028
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,320
will say this here's an
awesome thing that just happened
1029
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,080
to us this past week. I've
been a fan of the Comeback Kids for
1030
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:55,040
a long time, and a couple of
days ago, one of them commented on
1031
01:05:55,040 --> 01:06:01,110
one of our episodes on YouTube
and I was like, starstruck. What?
1032
01:06:01,670 --> 01:06:05,710
Jim sends me a screenshot. He
texted me the screenshot of look
1033
01:06:05,710 --> 01:06:10,150
who commented on one of our
videos. And I was like, what? So
1034
01:06:10,150 --> 01:06:14,990
anyway, I was super humbled.
And here you go. Right back at you
1035
01:06:14,990 --> 01:06:15,350
boys.
1036
01:06:15,510 --> 01:06:18,190
Yeah. Yeah. Thank you guys so
much for the love. Honestly, we love
1037
01:06:18,190 --> 01:06:20,950
your content and all the
creators, content, everyone that
1038
01:06:20,950 --> 01:06:24,750
we've just mentioned. I just,
you know, there's something to be
1039
01:06:24,750 --> 01:06:29,220
said about positivity and
people putting forth their best effort
1040
01:06:29,220 --> 01:06:32,740
to make something that. The
best that they can. And these are
1041
01:06:32,740 --> 01:06:36,060
all these creators, they do a
wonderful job. And yeah, specifically
1042
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:38,260
for the Comeback Kids. Thank
you boys for listening. We certainly
1043
01:06:38,260 --> 01:06:40,740
do appreciate you and we love
you guys so much for everything that,
1044
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:45,540
you know, you do in the wow.
The wow space. And it's always inspiration
1045
01:06:45,540 --> 01:06:48,220
to us as well. And it's a joy
for us, too, to be able to listen
1046
01:06:48,220 --> 01:06:51,180
and know that you guys are
listening too. Much love from us
1047
01:06:51,180 --> 01:06:52,580
to you. Let's connect.
1048
01:06:52,580 --> 01:06:57,290
Yeah, exactly. For sure. I
know we didn't mention all the content
1049
01:06:57,290 --> 01:07:00,010
creators because there's so,
so many of them out there, but these
1050
01:07:00,010 --> 01:07:04,970
are definitely some of our
favorites and we wanted to highlight
1051
01:07:04,970 --> 01:07:13,050
them because they're doing
tons of work, like the hours are
1052
01:07:13,050 --> 01:07:16,010
countless for the things that
they're doing behind the scenes to
1053
01:07:16,010 --> 01:07:18,930
bring you these guides and
videos. And they're putting their.
1054
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,440
Their heart and soul into
researching this stuff, scripting
1055
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:27,560
stuff, recording it, you know,
take after take, and then having
1056
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,080
to edit everything and get you
out this finished product. It's.
1057
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:37,240
It's a good thing to just take
the time to recognize these folks
1058
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,840
that are out there doing this.
This work for you that makes our.
1059
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,040
Our gameplay better. So it's
definitely more work than you probably
1060
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,110
realize goes into content
creation. And we wanted to honor
1061
01:07:47,110 --> 01:07:50,590
them on our show and just say
a big, hearty thank you.
1062
01:07:50,670 --> 01:07:53,270
Agreed. Folks, we'll be right
back. We're going to do our lower
1063
01:07:53,270 --> 01:07:57,510
lesson. We'll close out the
show, finish for the day. Be right
1064
01:07:57,510 --> 01:07:57,790
back.
1065
01:08:00,270 --> 01:08:13,230
Now listen closely to my tale.
Long before Azeroth knew peace, before
1066
01:08:13,310 --> 01:08:19,000
order, the world belonged to
chaos. Fire roared against stone.
1067
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:24,840
Storms ripped across endless
seas. And as we've already detailed,
1068
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,200
the Elemental Lords ruled a
world forever in conflict. And they
1069
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:39,560
reveled in it. But then the
sky broke from the great dark beyond.
1070
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:45,200
Colossal beings fell upon
Azeroth, not as conquerors marching
1071
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:51,680
in, but as horrors colliding
with the world itself. They buried
1072
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:56,680
themselves deep into the
planet's surface, each in a different
1073
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:02,560
place, rising as living
mountains of flesh. Countless mouths
1074
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:08,610
gnashing. Endless black eyes
staring without thought or mercy.
1075
01:09:09,890 --> 01:09:19,730
These were the Old Gods. Let
your eyes be opened. Where the Old
1076
01:09:19,730 --> 01:09:24,690
Gods landed, despair followed.
The land around them withered and
1077
01:09:24,690 --> 01:09:30,610
blackened, dying for miles in
every direction. Beneath the surface,
1078
01:09:31,339 --> 01:09:35,179
massive tendrils bored
downward, threading through the crust
1079
01:09:35,179 --> 01:09:40,859
of the world, creeping ever
closer to Azeroth's defenseless heart.
1080
01:09:41,499 --> 01:09:47,179
From the Old Gods corrupted
forms, new life emerged, twisted
1081
01:09:47,179 --> 01:09:54,299
life. First came the n', Raqi,
the faceless Ones, Intelligent, cruel
1082
01:09:54,619 --> 01:09:56,378
and calculating life. It dies
in the endless patterns.
1083
01:09:59,590 --> 01:10:04,150
Then the Aqir, towering
insectoid creatures built for endurance,
1084
01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:11,390
labor and war, bend to the
Master's will. They were not independent
1085
01:10:11,390 --> 01:10:16,190
beings. They were extensions
of a Master's will. Through these
1086
01:10:16,190 --> 01:10:20,830
servants, the Old Gods
expanded their dominion. The Anraki
1087
01:10:20,830 --> 01:10:24,400
drove the Aqir relentless,
relentlessly, forcing them to raise
1088
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:28,600
immense citadels and temple
cities around the Old Gods themselves.
1089
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,920
The greatest of these
fortresses formed around Y', Sharj,
1090
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,480
the most powerful and
malevolent among them. Near the center
1091
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:43,880
of Azeroth's largest
continent. I feast on suffering.
1092
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,930
Over time, these dark
strongholds spread out outward, merging
1093
01:10:48,930 --> 01:10:54,930
into a single suffocating
domain. A civilization built on corruption.
1094
01:10:55,650 --> 01:11:03,170
The Black Empire. The rise of
the Black Empire did not go unnoticed.
1095
01:11:03,569 --> 01:11:06,610
For the first time in
Azeroth's history, the Elemental
1096
01:11:06,610 --> 01:11:12,570
Lords set aside their
rivalries. Instead, they united storms.
1097
01:11:12,570 --> 01:11:16,010
Summoned by alacrity. Kir
fused with the flames of Ragnaros,
1098
01:11:16,330 --> 01:11:21,210
forming colossal fire cyclones
that tore across the world and reduced
1099
01:11:21,210 --> 01:11:25,890
entire cities to ash.
Elsewhere, Therazane raised jagged
1100
01:11:25,890 --> 01:11:30,370
walls of living stone,
trapping enemy forces within collapsing
1101
01:11:30,370 --> 01:11:36,090
temples. Then the seas
answered. Neptilon and his tidal
1102
01:11:36,090 --> 01:11:40,820
host surged forward, crushing
the extreme Kir and n' Raki between
1103
01:11:40,820 --> 01:11:45,980
unyielding rock and the fury
of the oceans. For a moment, it seemed
1104
01:11:45,980 --> 01:11:52,340
enough. But the Black Empire
did not fall. For every servant destroyed,
1105
01:11:52,740 --> 01:11:58,340
more crawled forth, spawned
endlessly from the Old Gods diseased
1106
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:04,640
forms. The Aqir swarmed Like
an unstoppable infestation, the Enraqu
1107
01:12:05,590 --> 01:12:10,470
broke the elementals through
sheer attrition. One by one, the
1108
01:12:10,470 --> 01:12:16,950
Elemental lords fell into
slavery. With the world's native
1109
01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:21,630
spirits broken, nothing
remained to stop the spread. The
1110
01:12:21,630 --> 01:12:27,430
Black Empire consumed vast
stretches of Azeroth. The skies dimmed.
1111
01:12:27,830 --> 01:12:32,960
Perpetual twilight settled in
in. And the world spiraled into an
1112
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,040
age of suffering, silence and death.
1113
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:50,320
All right, well everybody,
this was episode 22. It's hard to
1114
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:53,280
believe it's only 22 episodes.

1115

1128
01:13:39,740 --> 01:13:42,500

fueled sermon right there during

Job's done.
