Tonight we sit down and talk through our feelings about Battle For Azeroth and its fairly tone deaf ad campaign.  We dig into the “It Matters” videos and how it feels fairly irresponsible at a time when our country and world is pulled apart already by some fairly serious points of division.  We talk about how playing World of Warcraft should be a thing to bring people together rather than pull them apart.  We also talk about the Warbringers video series and how we are afraid it is setting up Jaina, Sylvannas and Azshara to be the next set of raid bosses.  Finally we talk briefly about the novel and event that are leading up to this expansion.  At the tail end of the show we talk a bit about drafting M19 in Magic Arena and Bel’s nonsensical luck at pulling cards.

Topics Discussed

  • Battle For Azeroth
    • The “It Matters” Ad Campaign
    • The “Warbringers” video series
    • The “Before the Storm” novelization
    • The “War of the Thorns” quest event
  • Magic Arena
    • Drafting M19
    • Nonsensical Pulls
    • Golgari Pride

Tonight we return with a regular show but are unfortunately down a Tam and a Grace.  We talk a bit about Magic the Gathering and more specifically the Battle Bond expansion set as well as Magic Arena getting the Full Standard compliment of expansions.  Kodra is more excited however about the ability to do draft mode all the time without having to wait for the weekend events. Bel talks a bit about his recent binging of Dishonored and how playing those games in order turns it into a Mass Effect series sort of experience.  From there Bel goes on about the madness he has been doing with Parsec Gaming. We talk a bit about how much we think the Atari VCS is highly possibly vaporware… which leads to some discussion about the lies that are often told at E3. Finally Thalen talks a bit about his experiences with a shop keeper roguelike called Moonlighter.

Topics Discussed:

  • Magic the Gathering: Battle Bond
  • Magic Arena – Full Standard
  • Dishonored Series
  • Parsec Gaming
  • Atari VCS
  • E3 Lies
  • Moonlighter
