What I almost said our names 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,680 would be if they were mixed together. 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,360 Lex, how has the World of Warcraft been treating you? 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,520 Manny would have cut all that out. 31 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,920 Listeners, you're welcome. It's just us. 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,440 You get the absolute unhinged, minimal news. 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,520 It's going to be so great. That's. 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,600 Right, all vibes. So this has been an interesting 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,760 week. I have. 36 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,080 So I was reading Beyond the Dark Portal and I was like, wow. 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,640 I'm finding myself consistently frustrated and annoyed with the 38 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,520 writing style and the, you know, kind of archaic writing of a 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,120 book from 2008. There's there's one solution to 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,440 the situation of me not lighting this, like liking this writing 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,520 style. And it turns out it was me 42 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,240 buying Warcraft free Forge. So I have spent the last week 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320 very slowly. I started on Warcraft one and 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,480 let's be I'm going to be so for real you guys, I'm not good at 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,320 real time strategy. This blew everyone's mind. 46 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,720 Everyone was expecting me to be a real time strategy. 47 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:39,600 Absolute whiz, I'm sure. See I'm really bad at it. 48 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200 I think I'm on like the the 5th campaign at this point. 49 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,640 The the second one. No, the the third one took me so 50 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,160 long. Like when they first start, you 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,760 have to like actually attack the orcs. 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,920 Yeah, it's I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not good at it, but I'm 53 00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:57,400 having, I'm having a really good time. 54 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,280 I'm understanding why people played this game. 55 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,000 So yeah, I logged on approximately an hour ago to 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,200 play pre patch. So I could say that I played pre 57 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,640 patch on the show. Nice, nice. 58 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,280 Let's stick it on this Warcraft a little bit. 59 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,000 So is this your first time playing through? 60 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120 Because your dad played the Warcraft series, didn't he? 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,960 Yes, he was He was a Warcraft man from the beginning and moved 62 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,400 right into obviously World of Warcraft when that came out, But 63 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,880 I so I don't remember him playing Warcraft one. 64 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,680 The more I play Warcraft one, the more I feel like I this is a 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,600 very skippable game. I'm having fun using it to teach 66 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,800 like as a way to teach me real time strategy technique, but 67 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,520 it's there's no real lore. The there's just this weird 68 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,480 little scene in the middle, like between every single campaign. 69 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,440 And it's just, I guess, you know, in Lothar it's not super 70 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,760 clear who's apparently eating. He's just chewing and he has a 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,160 big like stick of meat, like a like a, you know, a drumstick, a 72 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520 big, you know, Renfair drumstick. 73 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,280 And it has like a hole in the middle, not like a bite mark, 74 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,840 like a hole drilled through it. So in in Lothar does not. 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,280 I'm a little confused about him. And then I guess like just the 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400 most generic wizard you've seen in your life. 77 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,160 And it just, it's, it's the same guy who voices everything. 78 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,959 I'm sure somebody knows who that is. 79 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:19,160 I probably should know who that is. 80 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,880 But one the same voice for everything, which is a little 81 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080 bit like it took me a while to get used to. 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,240 But now I, I just have accepted that I will not be able to tell 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:36,200 my peasants from my, my Wizards from my freaking footman. 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,840 But yeah, yeah. So I, I, I will see whether or 85 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,240 not I finished Warcraft one or whether I give up and decide I 86 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,480 want a little bit of storyline and move to Warcraft 2. 87 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,720 But. Does the book? 88 00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,920 Are you appreciating the now? I don't know who wrote The Dark 89 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,720 Beyond the Dark Portal, but based on your description I'm 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,920 going to say was it Richard Mack? 91 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400 No, it was Aaron Rosen. Well, so this is the weird 92 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,080 thing. It was Aaron Rosenberg and 93 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,760 Christy Golden. Oh. 94 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,120 I know and I I so I really think a lot of. 95 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,360 Christie. Love Christie. 96 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,920 I was so surprised that, well, I, I think a lot of the problem 97 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,360 is I don't, I don't think they were given a lot to work with 98 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:24,800 because they have a huge tendency to repeat descriptors. 99 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680 Like every time Alaria is introduced in any scene, they 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,960 describe her as a beautiful Ranger. 101 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200 Like I'm so sick of people talking about how beautiful and 102 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,680 not even like talking about how beautiful Alaria is it just, 103 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,280 she's beautiful. Like they just throw the every 104 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:37,760 time. Oh, and the beautiful Ranger 105 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,720 with her beautiful Ranger hands like constantly. 106 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,080 If I hear one more time the CAD guard has an aged face and 107 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,360 youthful eyes, I'm going to. Throw a. 108 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520 Fit like it's absurd. I'm so over it. 109 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,880 But I understand that that's more just them, not like they 110 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,920 only had a limited amount of things to go through. 111 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,840 The other thing that I think I find myself bothered with, and 112 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,760 this is this is something that I've known annoys me with like 113 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:08,120 early 2000s video game writing in general, is it's just so rule 114 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,280 of cool focused. But like if every single scene, 115 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,560 someone's getting decapitated and someone's getting sliced in 116 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,680 two, and then someone is casting a big powerful spell and then 117 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,960 someone else is getting decapitated and this part of 118 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,480 like it ceases to be cool. It is just all right, everyone's 119 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,080 overpowered and none of this is meaningful. 120 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,640 Let's go, let's go, let's go. So I think it's mostly just the 121 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,120 the fact that the writing has aged. 122 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,080 But if you were feeling down on World of Warcraft's writing, 123 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,440 it's gotten better. It's gotten better. 124 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,200 The beautiful Ranger Illyria Windrunner pulled back on her 125 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,360 bow with her beautiful hand to lose a beautiful arrow into the 126 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,520 orcs beautiful face. I'm going to lose my mind. 127 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,120 If you want to do a solo show, all yours, but if anyone was 128 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,160 wondering, Ted Gar was artificially aged as they really 129 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,520 want to make sure I remember. Yeah, but as you can't, his 130 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,960 eyes, like his face is aged, his body is aged, but his eyes are 131 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,360 youth. They're super youth. 132 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,360 Yeah, super youth. Like youthful? 133 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,800 They're really, really youthful and everything's subtle too. 134 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,960 That's another thing that like once I picked up on, it started 135 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,440 to annoy me. Like there was one page where 136 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,080 they used subtle twice and I'm like girl but it's OK. 137 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,880 And also as as if if you're curious, if you're wondering 138 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,400 whether or not you should join the discord at fit dot LY slash 139 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,000 faz discord, you can find me complaining about historic, 140 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,760 chronological, or lore inaccuracies that happen when 141 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,520 you are writing books with multiple people writing 142 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:46,040 different things over 2 decades. Will you carry on into Warcraft? 143 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,640 Two kinds of darkness, I think that one is. 144 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,920 Do I have types of darkness? So I think I have I should be 145 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200 able to see it, but for some reason I'm feeling stupid. 146 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920 I have Day of the Dragon. Day of the Dragon is the first 147 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,200 book I have. I have not read it. 148 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680 And then I have Beyond the Dark Portal and then I have Night of 149 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,560 the Dragon. And then I, I actually, I either 150 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,720 have Rise, I don't know, I don't remember where Rise of the Horde 151 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800 is, But so I've been kind of popcorn ING these books in 152 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,160 general, like reading one and then like, oh, what if I go over 153 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,720 here? So I, I don't have them all in 154 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800 chronological order. I don't have all of the books. 155 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Do I have friends? I'm trying to remember Rise of 156 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,000 the Horde is the one that I have or if it's the one that's like 157 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,320 $500 because they only did one print and now it's crazy. 158 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200 It's expensive. Oh, that reminds me. 159 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaking of Rise of the Horde, Christie is selling a copy on 160 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,480 her Etsy that I would like to buy on her Shopify that I would 161 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,039 like to buy, but they only ship to the US. 162 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,120 I'm leaving this in the show. If I sent you an E transfer for 163 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,120 the money, can you buy it and have it shipped to your house 164 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,080 and bring it for me at BlizzCon?

It might be a warmer then 175 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,560 anyway. X. 176 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,280 You blocked on to the beta briefly. 177 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Oh what did you do?

And then you choose whatever one 201 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,040 your neighborhood chose. You can go and do and buy the 202 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,800 vendors, but if you want the other ones, you can go to other 203 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,400 people's neighborhoods that have those ones and buy the stuff 204 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,800 from their vendors. Geely Yeah. 205 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640 So what other options? Are there? 206 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,840 Yeah. So Kniffin was one Drac Theor 207 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,960 was one is the third one that grumbles. 208 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,080 Yeah, well, that's the word. Yeah, so those are the options. 209 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,920 So hot tip, if you're somebody who's looking to get the 210 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,840 endeavors, buy all the stuff from the Endeavors Beck LFG, 211 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,080 because there's lots of groups that are like, hey, I have 212 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,120 Niffin completed, come to my neighborhood, go see the vendor. 213 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,680 Yeah, people who goes grumbles.

We used to think that World 216 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,560 First Raiders were or crazy intense sweaty sweatlords, but 217 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,360 it turns out the housing mains are the crazy intense sweaty 218 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,680 sweatlords. These are the Animal Crossers, 219 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:28,760 they're the Minecrafters, they're the farm villas, and 220 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,720 they are nothing if not ultra efficient. 221 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,720 Sean, the fact that you don't know this makes me think that 222 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,160 you've never watched a SIM like a really high level Sims creator 223 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,560 stream. No I play The Sims one the first 224 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,120 Sims and didn't put a door in my house and my person died and 225 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,760 then I never turned it back on and I've never watched The Sims 226 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,480 again. Wait, that was not on purpose. 227 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,920 No, I was traumatized. I mean, I so no, I wanted to see 228 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,920 what would happen with no door. And it turns out they get really 229 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640 unhappy. Yeah. 230 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,040 Yeah. And then they die of 231 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,880 unhappiness, which, Yeah. So no, no, no, Yeah, People that 232 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,000 sort of creative world is I'm not quite there. 233 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,920 I'm not close to there. I I'm not that degree of, of 234 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320 energized about things like that. 235 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400 But you're right. They're they're crazy in a good 236 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,160 way. This is a faction. 237 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,720 It crazy, Yeah, we're not. We're not anywhere. 238 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,120 We've like two of us have done things in the endeavors. 239 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,760 We're nowhere near finished. OK, so but is it fun? 240 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,040 What? What is an endeavor like? 241 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,760 I didn't. I haven't endeavored to try them 242 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,880 yet, so. At least the way that I'm doing 243 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:47,520 it, it's basically like all of the most screw around parts of 244 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,800 World of Warcraft just in your neighborhood, right? 245 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,680 So if you want to go do silly little quests just for like just 246 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,520 you know that aren't really going to give you much, but you 247 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,240 just feel like doing quests in a day, you can go to, at least for 248 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,640 us, it's the Kun Lao summit and you can just do quests for a 249 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,200 while. If you want to do a little 250 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,680 Easter egg hunt where you run around looking for glowy things 251 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,880 on the ground, you pick them up. You can go run around glowy to 252 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,720 glowy things, pick them up. If you want to do the little 253 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,960 climbing mini games or like other silly little mini games 254 00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,240 that you get in world quests, you go, you go do the little 255 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,640 mini games, right. It's really just the the most 256 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,560 silly things in World of Warcraft all together. 257 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,600 And when I again again, this is set affectionately, like I had a 258 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,120 really good time. I just for an hour I was like, I 259 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,520 want to play a video game for the sake of playing a video game 260 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,440 and I don't want to worry too much about, you know, 261 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,240 everything's perfect and I'm mid maxing and it's all amazing. 262 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,600 You know, we're just going to go have fun. 263 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,040 And I did that and it was really fun. 264 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,120 It was fun to just do quests and none of the matter. 265 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,720 And you get like 2 gold and who cares? 266 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,600 And eventually they give a little Oh Dang, you got a little 267 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,840 housing. I think it's 5 quest gives you a 268 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,720 little bit of housing stuff. And then so there's all sorts of 269 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,320 activities and some of them are also like more intense, right? 270 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,880 Like you can go do delves, you can do mythic plus, you can kill 271 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,280 raid bosses, things like that. Whenever you complete an 272 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,240 achievement or like a little subsection thing, you get a 273 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,080 little bit of points for the endeavour as a whole. 274 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,880 And you also get some coupons that I don't fully understand 275 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,680 yet because I don't think we've unlocked anything and our 276 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,720 venture. But so currently we're all just 277 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,800 kind of doing the little the little fun things. 278 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,760 And I think it's going to go much faster once we're in like 279 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,160 not pre patched because again, there is, you know, all these 280 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,840 are all repeatable. I think they're all repeatable. 281 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520 So like every I think it's like 10. 282 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,400 It's not ten. I mean, certain number of delves 283 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,280 you do, you're going to get some credit every, you know, mythic 284 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,920 plus you do you get some credit. A brave boss as you kill, you 285 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,760 get some credit. And so when your entire Guild is 286 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,800 off doing things and they're collecting their herbs and then 287 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,040 they get some credit and they're, you know, some people 288 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,000 are playing the silly games in the, the neighborhood, they get 289 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,760 some credit and, you know, some people are off grinding mythic 290 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,880 plus they get some credit. Like that's going to build up 291 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,160 much quicker. But right now our Guild is kind 292 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000 of on pretty, pretty solid hiatus. 293 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,600 And so we're being, we're not, we're not moving too fast. 294 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,280 We're taking our time. Yeah, we're. 295 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,560 Just hanging out. We have 39 days that's. 296 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,680 Right. You get all kinds of time. 297 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480 You get all kinds of time. I love it. 298 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,920 I people have been going crazy for endeavors like it's a wild 299 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,920 it's like a whole new part of Warcraft has been unlocked with 300 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680 housing. There are people who don't give 301 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,240 any cares. They give no ducks for the lore, 302 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680 for the stories, for the rating, for the mythic. 303 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,360 They just want housing and those people are thriving right now. 304 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,320 There are so many of them, it's frightening. 305 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,720 The player base will soon be outnumbered I think by housing 306 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,240 mates and I'm OK with it because they're all like super chill and 307 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,960 lovely, so let's get more of them. 308 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880 The one thing that was really striking to me and me again, 309 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,440 this is probably that I was doing it wrong, but it kept 310 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,720 while I was doing the endeavor today, I kept thinking like, I 311 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,600 feel like I'm not being as efficient as I could. 312 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,480 And then I'm like, ah, but it's a video game. 313 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,640 Like this was the, the first time in a while that I've played 314 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,440 World of Warcraft and it's felt like I was just playing a game 315 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,640 for the sake of fun and not doing work to achieve the next 316 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,960 thing that I can then push for so I can do more work, so I can 317 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,560 achieve the next thing. Which I mean, I, I'm, I love, 318 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,600 right. Like, I'm a writer. 319 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,800 I love doing that grind and, and doing the, you know, learning 320 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,120 the certain fights and, and figuring out what I need next 321 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,240 and talking my team about. Like, that's, that is fun for 322 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,160 me. I'm not unhappy about that. 323 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,200 But sometimes it's nice to just log on and play a game because 324 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,800 you want to play a game. Yeah. 325 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,280 Yeah, for sure. And Speaking of the patch day, I 326 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,280 mean, mean, it's going to extend it a couple of times. 327 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,120 So it did go long, but it was a pretty massive patch. 328 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,080 It was coming in like a big change. 329 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,240 The team was on top of it. They gave us a bunch of advance 330 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,200 warnings. I think it got extended by, I 331 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,400 want to say 3 hours and then one hour. 332 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,319 So it ended up coming back at about 9:00 PM Eastern roughly. 333 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:15,440 And there was some issues, faction changing was breaking 334 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,319 transmog. Some raid bosses had 50 HP. 335 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:25,760 Oh like not 50,000, not 5050. They had 50 HP. 336 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:31,240 Thumb gear was not scalable, others was. 337 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,520 But for the most part I think like awful, groundbreaking 338 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:39,960 nobody. You can't play, there's nothing 339 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,880 you can do. It was a pretty good patch 340 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,760 launch, so kudos to the team for that. 341 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:51,640 And on top of that, I am happy to announce that the raid is 342 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,400 properly, I don't know properly to the right word, but the raid 343 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,960 is very, very, very accessible right now. 344 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,240 Yeah, they were. So for a reference the Mythic 345 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,880 Dementias fight pre midnight patch, it would be commonplace 346 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:23,280 for teams to transition from phase one after the 4th or just 347 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,120 as the 4th slam was about to happen. 348 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,880 And common for teams to get the kill on dementias in phase three 349 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,400 around the time of like just after that second devour when 350 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720 the the next set of grips are coming. 351 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,600 Last night teams were phasing from P1 before the 1st slam and 352 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,200 killing dementias before the 1st devourer. 353 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840 So it might have been the second slam, it might have been the 354 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,440 second slam. But anyway, very early, so the 355 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,120 nerfs that they made, they worked. 356 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,360 You know, it's these fights shouldn't be hard. 357 00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,400 People should be able to just walk in and push these over 358 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,720 right now. And that's the way that it 359 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320 looks. So if you're a Raider, great. 360 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,240 If you're somebody who's looking for the mount, you could 361 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,680 probably find one cheap. I imagine prices are going to go 362 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,360 down a little bit with it being as easy to clear as it is if 363 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,000 you're buying it. But maybe just throw a group 364 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,680 together, ask one of your buddies if they have a lock for 365 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,600 Dementius and I'm going to give it a couple of poles. 366 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,960 Maybe you get a kill. Yeah, So it's not too bad. 367 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,680 This is good because I know last week we were stressed that all 368 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,000 of the changes together we're going to mean that it wasn't 369 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,920 going to be tuned enough. And so, yeah, it's good to know 370 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480 the after you just cut big numbers off everything, if 371 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,240 you're like actually like 50% health gone. 372 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,080 It's not that, not that. Hard to kill and mythic plus. 373 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,000 So I am on the record as saying that I would quit podcasting if 374 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,440 Blizzard didn't adjust Mythic plus, and I'm happy to say that 375 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,800 the highest Halls of atonement that was completed pre patch was 376 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:08,120 I think a 22 and today a solo havoc Demon Hunter timed a + 40. 377 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960 So those have also been tuned. Yay. 378 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,800 It's kind. It's kind of bonkers out there. 379 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,240 It's kind of bonkers. The squish worked, folks. 380 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,560 So Sean, a question I know part of the the concern, the reason 381 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,080 that you said that you were going to quit podcasting if 382 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,760 Mythic Plus wasn't tuned was because you felt like a thing 383 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,400 that was really exciting and fun for you was kind of being taken 384 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,560 away. And why are you playing the game 385 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,520 then, now that it's sort of face role, does it still kind of feel 386 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,200 like a fun thing is taken away because it's just yeah or. 387 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,760 OK, yeah, I love that. I really like feeling like a 388 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,440 God. I think that's. 389 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,000 I think, listen, I I respect the grind, I respect the work. 390 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,280 I understand that games need challenge to be fun, and that's 391 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,080 why sometimes I play real time strategy and get myself wiped 392 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,360 off the map 10 times by works. But I I do sometimes it's fun to 393 00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:13,240 just go in and like blast. And yeah, if that was the entire 394 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,120 expansion, like if nothing had challenged and everything rolled 395 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:17,960 over, World of Warcraft would be boring. 396 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,320 But I think pretty patch is the time to be silly and to have fun 397 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,280 for the sake of fun. Yeah, and for clarity, that plus 398 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,880 40 was completed in 9 minutes solo. 399 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,800 This is classic Havoc Havoc even Hunter behavior alone, I think. 400 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,640 I think that a solo Havoc Demon Hunter has always been able to 401 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,640 time a + 40. We were just holding back 402 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,320 because we didn't want you guys to feel bad. 403 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,240 Was this you, Lex? Yeah, of course. 404 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,160 Let me see, let me look up the character name. 405 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,400 Lex T rants. Oh my God. 406 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,800 Oh yeah, of course. As you guys know, I am famous 407 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,320 for pushing high mythic plus keys. 408 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,280 It must. Be really confusing if you are 409 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,320 getting into for Azeroth like in the last few episodes and you're 410 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,680 like Wow, they really do have one of everyone. 411 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,440 They have someone who's great at PvP and also pushes keys and 412 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,640 also a mythic Raider. And then I guess they have these 413 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,240 like Sean and Manny to like play the the casual side. 414 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:18,040 If anybody heard you during your PvP claim to title fame and then 415 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,240 heard the number that you said you felt was the high enough 416 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,960 number for title that they do, that was a good PvP. 417 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:29,200 Yeah, they're aware. Yeah, exactly, exactly. 418 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520 They're aware that I'm on top of the charts. 419 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,120 Yeah, that's right. That's right. 420 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:36,040 You're nailing it. Yeah, overall, pretty good 421 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,440 launch. So we're doing people are right 422 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760 and they like, if you went on Twitch today, it was literally 423 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,360 just every stream was building my UI and then everybody was 424 00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,440 using some amalgamation of the tools that are out there and 425 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,920 available. I myself spent the day building 426 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,280 my UII didn't stream it though and I kept it very simple. 427 00:22:53,280 --> 00:23:00,040 I used LVY and life was good. LVY is was late coming back but 428 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,600 it's old faithful. It's something I've used in the 429 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,440 past so I threw it on there. Tweaks UI is another one that I 430 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,920 know a lot of people in my Guild were using. 431 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,640 Was getting good traction and unhalted unit frames and the 432 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,760 better cooldown manager which is done by the same demos on all 433 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,640 the unit frames. I think those three were the 434 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,000 most popular ones that I saw bouncing around my Guild and my 435 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,960 friend groups. And then there was some we're 436 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,400 not going to get into drama. We don't drama pedal here on For 437 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,640 Azeroth. But there was some drama that 438 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,560 some of the more popular add-ons that had been leading the charge 439 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,120 in beta, it turns out stole some of their code wholesale from 440 00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:41,320 other new add-ons in the beta. Now you know it's a question of 441 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,640 did they copy and paste it and just change the variable names 442 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,840 or did they happen to put the exact same prompt into Claude 443 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,120 and get the same result when they built it when they bought? 444 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,960 Nobody knows for sure, but there was some drama running around. 445 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,960 All I'm saying is for you to land on an AUI, go ahead and pop 446 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,560 into the Discord for that UI. Just get a sense of the the vibe 447 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320 of the the atmosphere. Make sure because you don't want 448 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560 to get stuck on something or block into something and then 449 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,400 have it have no coverage or no support in the next three weeks, 450 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,240 that'll be off. Or have it not know how to do 451 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,160 hands. Or have the have the dev not 452 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,440 have any idea how to do any of it. 453 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,560 You just log in and all of a sudden you're like 2 fingers. 454 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,360 You're like, OK, your chains don't work right. 455 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,120 The earring holes are in different places than your 456 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:32,120 earrings. You're like, something's up 457 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,560 here. Yeah, I feel like it wasn't like 458 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,320 this when I left. Yeah. 459 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,200 So that I mean, that was it was it's been a mostly by a week. 460 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,800 So we we left the weekend was not much news because we were 461 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,400 getting ready. We had a new video come out for 462 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,040 the launch to midnight, which had some fun clips in it. 463 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,160 And then another interview where they talked about redesigning N 464 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,760 trend for the last Titan that we were going to talk about. 465 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,840 But the more I think about it, I feel like we should push that 466 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,760 off a little bit like we're not even in midnight yet. 467 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,640 So I think maybe we'll talk about last Titan video a little 468 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,120 closer. The last that's Titan this. 469 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,440 Is also my feeling about BlizzCon. 470 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,160 I'm really worried about like, what are we really going to 471 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,000 announce? Because I don't really want to 472 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,040 hear about Last Titan when we're, you know what, 6 months, 473 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,680 seven. I can do math seven months into 474 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,960 midnight. Do we do a BlizzCon announcement 475 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,160 prediction right now? Oh, sure. 476 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,160 Do you want to go first? I'll. 477 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,680 Yeah, I'll go first. Not that you need time to think 478 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,480 of yours because you're just being gracious to let me go 1st 479 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,720 and I appreciate that. I appreciate that. 480 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,120 So I think overall, the biggest thing we're going to get Blues 481 00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:43,920 come, we're going to get that StarCraft announcement 482 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,720 everyone's talking about. It's going to be a, it's not 483 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,120 just going to be 1 game, it's going to be 3 games, going to be 484 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,240 a StarCraft first person shooter. 485 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:59,080 It's going to be a new StarCraft RTS and then a StarCraft mobile 486 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,320 game. So you think that's the mobile 487 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,120 game? Yeah. 488 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:05,360 So those three I think are the big like this is, hey, this is 489 00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:06,520 what's happening at BlizzCon now. 490 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:13,520 Warcraft specific, specific to Warcraft, I think we're going to 491 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,800 be getting 11 point, sorry, 12.2 information because at that 492 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,720 point we will already have 12.1 and I think we'll be in it. 493 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,040 We will have just got into it. So we'll already have 12.1 494 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,680 information, but too late to get that. 495 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,840 But I think we're going to get 12.2 information and while I do 496 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,880 think they might give us a glimpse of Last Titan, I think 497 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,800 they will tease that there is something beyond Last Titan 498 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,280 instead. Those are my big predictions. 499 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,240 So 12.2 and then like a post Last Titan tease. 500 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,920 Now, I don't necessarily think that the last Titan is the last 501 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,160 expansion that they're going to give. 502 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,360 But if I was a major company that bought a studio that didn't 503 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,880 want to keep running the same game, I would tell them you have 504 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,200 a trilogy to wrap this up. I don't think that's the case. 505 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560 I don't think that's what's, I don't think that's what's 506 00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:03,360 happening on this show where we're positive on other shows 507 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,080 where I'm less positive and that could be the prediction I give. 508 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,840 But yeah, but I'm really happy with the StarCraft because I 509 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,280 think we're getting 3 StarCraft announcements. 510 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,120 OK, I would believe because I was actually feeling really as 511 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,480 as a big Rumble girly. I was kind of annoyed when they 512 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,240 mentioned that there was a mobile game in the works and I'm 513 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,560 like, you just killed one. It's like a great one. 514 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,160 Less than a year ago, you killed your mobile game and you're 515 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,320 bringing back a new one. But not to be a girl who's like, 516 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200 I just got into War of Warcraft before. 517 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,080 It's my entire personality for this podcast. 518 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:38,600 But I do actually feel like real time strategy makes a lot of 519 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040 sense on a phone game. Like, yeah, there's totally, 520 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,520 100% should go in. And to be fair, that was 521 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,040 basically what Rumble was, right? 522 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,920 Like it was a essentially, I even remember when I was playing 523 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,400 Rumble and my dad looked over my shoulders like, Oh yeah, that's 524 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,000 like what we did in Warcraft. If it's if it's too much of A 525 00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,360 Rumble clone, I'm going to I'm going to make some more grumpy 526 00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:58,600 noise. Feeling like a Plants versus 527 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,800 Zombies where you're building turrets and you're shooting 528 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,760 Zerg. OK, we low key love that. 529 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,640 Sort of. So. 530 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,520 I will also say the fact that at the last blitz con we had just 531 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,120 gotten Rumble was really, really big because Liz Con is such a 532 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:19,840 line fest. And so having a thing that 533 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,800 everyone can do in a line that we all can either bond over or 534 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,240 you can kind of, you know, sit back and dissociate a little bit 535 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,480 because everything's loud. That was a game changer. 536 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760 Like I genuinely do not think that Blizz Con would have been 537 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,160 as fun if we didn't all have a fun little game that we could, 538 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,640 you know, pluck away at. So can. 539 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,080 You imagine the opening ceremony they big screen hits. 540 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,600 Boom. StarCraft Zurd versus Terrans 541 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,840 versus Protoss and it's a plants versus zombies clones and you 542 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,880 can play it today we pre downloaded it onto your phone 543 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,120 they're. Like we know you have phones 544 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,320 now. That's right, that. 545 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,120 'D be great. Yeah I I do. 546 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:04,560 So I do think that we will get a look at what is happening after 547 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,200 Last Titan just because they did at the last Liz con they gave us 548 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,960 3 expansions in one. And I agree that I don't really 549 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,160 want lore spoilers for Last Titan or what's coming after it, 550 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:20,840 but you are not the first person to suggest that a trilogy like 551 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,000 talking about how they want to finish up these stories feels 552 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,600 interesting. Like, what are we moving for 553 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,000 then? Like what's happening? 554 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,640 So I think either there will be a very large, exciting or 555 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,480 stressful announcement coming there, or they will assuage our 556 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,440 fears by telling us that they have another expansion in the 557 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,760 works. And here's what it is. 558 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,360 And here's the basic information. 559 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,320 I do want to be clear that on this show for Azeroth, I do not 560 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,840 think that Last Titan is the end. 561 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,840 I don't I mean World War have Prince money still, like I mean 562 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,840 it doesn't, but it does right. Like it's not as much as it was 563 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,600 in the golden age, but. I'm not getting nervous, right? 564 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,640 Microsoft likes to buy things and close them. 565 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,600 Right. You know well. 566 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,680 So that is how I think that's what happened with Rumble. 567 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,440 That's what happened with the game that got killed, the 568 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,800 survival game, I I think. But I The thing is that Blizzard 569 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,640 like World of Warcraft is Blizzard right? 570 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,840 And it's still, I think, I guess I don't really know numbers 571 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,040 compared to Final Fantasy, but I think it's still the largest and 572 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:36,200 most income generating MMORPG we have. 573 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,160 I see. I mean, I can imagine a world 574 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,480 where it goes on life support and they pull devs off of it. 575 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,280 I but even then. We're getting something after 576 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,840 and we're getting the show. I'm doubling down Lex. 577 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,440 I'm doubling down. We're getting something after. 578 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,080 We're going to Air Thor. We're going to fight the Arathi 579 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,400 and we're going to fight future and when, because everybody 580 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640 knows that's who the the Emperor of Air Thor is. 581 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,320 It's and when from the future. There's a total time travel 582 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,520 thing. They love time travel. 583 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,280 And we're getting an announcement of a Warcraft 584 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,920 animated series on Apple TV. Fingers crossed it's Apple. 585 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,840 They do such good work, such quality work. 586 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,600 Crazy, I've never. Oh my God. 587 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,640 Apple TV was no Apple TV. Apple TV is amazing. 588 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,280 OK, yeah, there's like, I don't know if you have access to Apple 589 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,080 TV, but there is a list of shows. 590 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,200 I I know about what's the one that everyone knows of not 591 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,880 succession, severance. Severance is amazing, Silo is 592 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,880 amazing, Foundation is really good. 593 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,680 The Morning show, the first season was they do the first 594 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,000 season of the morning show was good. 595 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,400 The servant other single word was good. 596 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,320 That's a one episode or one that's no, it's like three 597 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,880 seasons a servant. Those are all fantastic. 598 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,440 There's one where it's called bad Sisters where this woman's 599 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,880 husband's abusive and then he ends up dead and they got to 600 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,360 try. The police think the sisters 601 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,960 killed them, so they're trying to figure it out and hilarity 602 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,160 ensues. It's really good. 603 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,160 Yeah. Anyway, you got to get Apple if 604 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,720 you don't have Apple TV, Lex, you got to get Apple. 605 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,760 Even if you have a friend who has Apple TV, they can put you 606 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,600 on their family plan. You can have the six people on 607 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,920 your family plan. Mine's full where I would offer 608 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,840 you a spot on mine and then you get access to it. 609 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,600 It's so good. I am like a huge Apple TV. 610 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,200 It's by far the best quality streaming service available. 611 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,680 Apple TV If you're looking to sponsor a show, we have proven 612 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,840 that we'll just do an ad for you in the middle of ours for free. 613 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,520 Right. Yeah. 614 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,800 Whoops. No, no, no. 615 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,240 Yeah. OK, That's that. 616 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040 I, I would love there to be a World of Warcraft show. 617 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,320 I do think I I think we've talked a little bit about the 618 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,880 time that I watched the Warcraft movie. 619 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:53,520 And I really, I think the reason that war World of Warcraft, the 620 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,680 the why the movie suffered so much is because it just got so 621 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,480 in the weeds. Like it was trying to tell a 622 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,400 story that our argument, frankly, that I've been told a 623 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,240 few times, right? The early Warcraft it there's 624 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,760 novels of it, there's the actual games, there's chronicles. 625 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,000 Like those of us who know the story, we know it so all, which 626 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,480 also means that, you know, we're kind of if there's like it has 627 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,080 to be word by word by word exactly the same. 628 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,880 And they just, I think bit off way more than they can chew. 629 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,120 And they also, I feel like they jumped in at a kind of a 630 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,880 confusing place and ended up anyway. 631 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,760 I don't think they picked the right story there. 632 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,920 But the lore has so much possibility. 633 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,520 Like we talk all the time about how the, you know, side quests 634 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,840 are huge. It's so beautiful and exciting. 635 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,440 Like I, I don't think they should do a story of the main 636 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:48,240 characters because I think that that is overdone and requires so 637 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,040 much information and you have to get into these like, and here's 638 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,600 Corona and this is but she was a slave, but then she would kill 639 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,120 the with her friend. Like it. 640 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,000 There's just too much right. Versus if you have little spin 641 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,640 offs and maybe, you know, Oh, here's the beautiful range of 642 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,440 Hilaria and that she's out of the scene and we're caring about 643 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,520 the actual thing going on here, you know? 644 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,520 What my favorite call back the show's ever done. 645 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,199 I'm so sick of it. I'm convinced she at this point 646 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,639 the contrarian of me has decided that I think hilarious ugly just 647 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,840 because I'm so mad at them telling me so many times that 648 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,960 she's beautiful. I'm like, never mind. 649 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,520 I think she's hideous and I think the cat girl's eyes are 650 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,600 old. His face is normal, but his eyes 651 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,280 are so old. If they did a live action I 652 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,440 think they should do an animated series. 653 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,000 I think animated just because the world is so stylistic. 654 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,920 But if it is live action, who would she want to play? 655 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,920 The beautiful Ranger? Hilaria Windrunner. 656 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:49,560 Don't ask me to name actress. You go first. 657 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,320 Time to think about it. Who? 658 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Are you ready to hate? Who would I pick? 659 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,800 Well, they were actually like Charlize Theron. 660 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,360 Somebody tall? I think she's quite tall. 661 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,760 That wouldn't be she. Might be too old to play 662 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,480 Illaria. Not the show least Theron is old 663 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,600 or looks old but Illaria is like young appearing Anya Taylor Joy, 664 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,160 the Queen's the Queen's gambit. I think she is. 665 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,600 She looks ethereal. I think she would make a great 666 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,840 Illaria Windrunner. She is the beautiful Ranger 667 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,720 Illaria Windrunner. She was in Queen's Gambit and 668 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:27,400 the Gorge. I OK I I this is half baked I 669 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,960 feel like. I feel like she almost gives me 670 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,240 more self honest vibes. Like you see what? 671 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:36,080 You're saying, but there's. She looks like she could burn 672 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,840 down a whole tree full of people. 673 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,920 You're getting genocide vibes from her. 674 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,040 It's a weird. There's a like a an intent. 675 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120 I don't know how to. It's a wild comms Lex. 676 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:59,000 I can see, I don't know, a, a darkness in her. 677 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,200 I don't know. I feel like she would do really 678 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,200 good as I I feel like she'd be a really good Sylvanus. 679 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:13,600 OK, see, Charlize, I'm. I'm so bad with faces and 680 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,520 everything. If something was not obviously 681 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,440 written for somebody, I'm just utterly cooked. 682 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,200 I feel like Charlize Theron is such an obvious choice though, 683 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,680 because that's like what she plays like. 684 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,160 That is the character of Charlize Theron. 685 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,480 I like Charlize Theron a lot. I really liked her in Mad Max as 686 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,720 Furiosa. I thought she was incredible in 687 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,160 that. Yeah, I think she would work. 688 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,880 And I'm happy casting Anya Taylor Joy as her genocidal 689 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,760 sister. Yeah, and she sees such darkness 690 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,640 in her eyes. I just think it would work. 691 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,120 I think that would. Be OK listeners, let us know you 692 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,800 tell us. Come into bit dot LY slash fast 693 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,440 discord.

Let us know what you think. 710 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,680 Let us know if you also think Anya Taylor Joy looks like a 711 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,320 mass murderer. Like Lexus. 712 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,040 Which is?

I don't really have anything 718 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,480 else to talk about. And I know it's not been an 719 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,720 hour, but I sometimes feel like less is more. 720 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,560 Yeah. If you guys want to listen to us 721 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,960 ramble constantly I guess sucks to suck because this is static 722 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,880 media and so the second that we stop recording it's over. 723 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,800 Yeah, but if you're a part of the Patreon, you get the full 724 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:07,280 pre show and post show, which isn't very much more and not any 725 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,520 more exciting, but it's there and you got it. 726 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,440 I. Swear a ton more she. 727 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,720 Does she does all right? Well, I think that's it folks. 728 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,760 Get out there, dive into the pre patch, get your UI set up, jump 729 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,840 into that raid, have some fun, enjoy the World of Warcraft, get 730 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,360 into housing, and above all else, may all your hits be 731 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:25,800 crits.
