Episode 153 Warcraft Santa     No its not December yet we have proclaimed Tom Chilton as our Warcraft Santa! Dustin gets a new phone, Kristine loses a cat and Rich calls Dustin... and then the entirety of the Alliance... scumbags (digging a hole Rich) Oh and HFL is now on Google Play! Once the dust settles the crew actually talk a ton of Warcraft. Artifact leveling, world quests, rep, raiding (Ursoc one shot!) and some gameplay flaws that seem to work against those players who love playing alt characters. The crew also touches on the question, is content coming too fast?   But one of our main discussions tonight is Tom Chilton leaving the Warcraft team, what that means for the current game and some serious speculation on what he will be doing now. Crazy theories abound and we would love for you to chime in! Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!     Join us in the conversation!

Episode 152 Panda Hate   Storms be damned we recorded 152! Yes it was a long time coming, but it has been a busy start to the fall so cut us some slack :) Rich tries to explain away his excuses for not playing, Kristine is raiding again and Dustin had a child! Once we finally get rolling, we learn in this episode that the entire HFL crew has emotions ranging from dislike to deep seeded hatred for the Panda as a playable character, who knew?

Episode 151 Legion Launch... for some of us!   This was a fun episode, mainly because Rich got carried for nearly the entire 2 hours. While we deftly and definitely went down many rabbit holes (apologies to both California and Oregon residents!) we did manage to cover a lot of ground with respect to what may very well go down as the best Warcraft expansion of all time. We also - as promised - fulfilled a listener request to do an MMO 6 pack segment with the magic developer wand.

Episode 150 Lock Tight Ogres     We were super excited to be joined by Brian Black aka Rho from the Realm Maintenance podcast and were not let down one bit. This 2.5 hour opus tackled the good, bad and ugly that the Legion Invasion events have brought with it. Additional topics cover a range of issues from PvP to the upcoming Karazhan content and a large dose of Warcraft Legion Lore. As a side note, this podcast was recording exactly one day before Blizzard's Friday 8.19 hot fix (# 3) that appears to have finally mitigated a lot of the XP issues we were seeing with the invasions.

Episode 149 Transmog Six Pack   Tonight's show was recorded just before the Legion Invasion event (which we will cover in great detail on episode 150) which is just as well because we are able to FINALLY complete our much belated Transmog Six Pack!  We have also included links to the very gear we discuss in the show notes so head over to hordeforlife.com for clickable hyperlinks!

Episode 148 Legion Pre-Patch Blues   Lots of good discussion on episode 148, so much so that we are not able to fit it all in. Apologies in advance for teasing and not delivering the transmog MMO six pack, but it will come fast and furious on episode 149. That said we get to a lot tonight, starting with Dustin abusing the host... or maybe the host is trolling Dustin, one can never tell! When things finally get serious we settle down to share our angst for CRZ in capital cities, a move that Blizzard is finally backing off of. But we spend most of the evening detailing all you want to know about the pre-patch, the good bad and ugly... hint, do not get too used to those artifact weapons as they may go the way of garrisons. Additionally we praise the modding community as unheralded heroes even as Rich struggles with updates to over 70 mods, talk PvP and Dustin tells us why Pokemon GO is the greatest mobile game ever launched. Be sure to listen to the outtakes at the end of show! Two and a half hours... are you not entertained!    Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!     Join us in the conversation!

Episode 145 Get Your OW out of my WoW!   It is the dynamic duo tonight as the lovely Tika is honeymooning in Hawaii and sipping fancy drinks with fruit in them. Rich is bitten by the Overwatch bug and braces for the inevitable emails that will follow.

Episode 132 Killer Filler   As we begin our long wait for Legions, we embark on a series of episodes that allow us to unleash our backlog of fun filler topics and emails. Tonight we start with discussion on the recently data mined Lost Garrison Designs and why Blizzard rarely looks back on their content. What occupies and will occupy your time during the pre-expansion content drought? We talk about our plans and want to hear yours! Additionally, our cast believes that gameplay is a NOT a requirement for all content and we have a vibrant discussion on why. But the heart of our show is a killer filler segment where we discussion the top 10 things about WoW that you did not know! This was a great topic and look for many more if you too find them enjoyable. Let us know!

Episode 131 Signal Lost   If you ever wanted a peak behind the HFL curtain, this is your show. We were plagued with some irritating to us – but surely funny to you – technical glitches. Frankly I am surprised that the whole episodes did not crash and burn but through all the chaos though we had some great conversation. We start with a fun and informative discussion on patch 6.2.2 and flying in Draenor (at least 2/3 of the crew). We then progress into some time walking discussions and needed improvements. Badges are back, you happy about that? Additionally we cover good PvP ground, discuss if Warlords was a too raid heavy expansion, pine for class change mechanics and Dustin lets his geek flag fly when he breaks out his Dungeon Master Guide reference! All in all a fun show and note that this is the LAST SHOW with Dustin as a bachelor!   Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!     Join us in the conversation!

Episode 130 Legion Prediction Show   Not only does this 2 plus hour episode feature 15 great and not so great predictions for the next World of Warcraft expansion, but we also manage to cover a myriad of topics ranging from Legion features like Artifact weapons and class order halls to not so Warcraft themed topics such as State Fairs and the differences between cat and dog people!   Along the way we also find ourselves having a serious and heartfelt discussion on Blizzard developer communications in a harsh and annonymous environment and social media fueled World.   At one point I think Dustin even forgets he is not on the Darkmoon Herald and gives us his own “sideshow of suck” ™.   Enjoy and have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!   Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!

We start with some mercenary mode details and opinions and progress into Draenor flying and token talk before really hitting the creamy center of the show, our Blue Sky segment. Not only do we have a great Blue Sky discussion on alternative server ideas, we also spend a great deal of time outlining the possible expansion leak rumors ahead of the August 6th announcement. Even if the rumors are fake and only 1/3 of our cast believes this, then Blizzard should be listening either way because this expansion fits and would be great! Also be sure to comment on the new shorter intro... and if you listen to the WHOLE show, you will learn which HFL member recently got his account suspended! Oh the scandal!

Episode 127 Singing Druid We record on the heels of Comic Con 2015 and fruitlessly attempt to view the Warcraft movie trailer for discussion this week. We start the show talking about our holiday time including Dustin's trip to Big Sky country. While the movie talk will have to wait, we were able to build some great discussion on the 6.2 Corey Stockton interview where we learn that Hellfire Citadel will be the last planned content patch for Warlords. We lament the potential content drought and speculate on a potential 2015 expansion! We also give hardcore Mythic raiders some love , talk about a faction-less World of Warcraft, do a non scientific garrison gold experiment and Tika sings!  We would also like to apologize for running too long to discuss our Blue Sky topic this week. But it will front and center in episode 128. Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!     Join us in the conversation!

Episode 126 Warlord’s Babies   A jam packed 6.2 patch release show that covers a myriad of topics ranging from Timewalking to Hellfire Citadel and everything in between. Highlights include discussion on the Garrison gold and Salvage Yard nerfs and a complete failure to understand the economics and mechanics of the WoW token. We conclude the show with some NON spoiler Game of Thrones talk and do not forget to check out the outtakes that will henceforth be included at the end of every show (after the close).   /Facepalm along with us this week but take pity, its a holiday show and Rich was on his tractor just minutes prior to recording.   Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!   Join us in the conversation!

Episode 125 Why We Cry   In a not so stunning reversal, Blizzard backtracks on the removal of flying and the World... of Warcraft, rejoices (well at least most of us). We talk about the announcement along with the great Draenor compromise detailing exactly how we will fly in Draenor and beyond. Additionally, we talk about the presence and impact of the WoW token on the game world and community and read your emails.

Episode 124 Grounded!   On this episode the HFL crew as well as our audience, discuss and speculate on the shocking news that Blizzard has decided to remove the flight mechanic for all future content within the game. While this week's episodes marks the second consecutive show with a decidely negative slant, something we apologize in advance for, we are slaves to the truth and it would be hard to spin anything positive from these developments. The community has reacted strongly and this has not gone unnoticed by the Blizzard team. What does this mean for the game and is there any chance of a reversal?

Episode 123 Occupy Azeroth   This week we have a jam packed nearly 2 hour show headlined by the Blizzard Q1 Financials showing a loss of almost 3 million subscribers from our beloved World of Warcraft. We take your thoughts and share our own. We also lament on why mining in our Garrisons still sucks, detail the very cool Bonus Event System coming in patch 6.2, address the anti-LFR crowd and give you our thoughts on the gameplay albatross that Blizzard seems tied to. All this plus your emails and we hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend!   Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!   Join us in the conversation!   HFL Twitter: @HFLPodcast Email the show and crew at: hordeforlifepodcast@gmail.com kristine@hordeforlife.com dustin@hordeforlife.com rich@hordeforlife.com podcast@hordeforlife.com
