After a short apology for his scratchy voice, Matt leads the cohosts in discussion on a number of topics. Since Cory was the guest host this week, adorable mobile game Warcraft Rumble and its expensive Arthas bundle was a big part of the conversation. So was the April Fools' Day jokes we were treated to on that day -- some of our cast are quite anti prank, others are pro. Plus, the ZeniMax Union authorized permission for their workers to strike, and we discuss the implications for the industry at large.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Rou hears soft crying nearby and, believing it to be Elaine, begins to call out for her. When he realizes that the crying is synced with the shivering form of Eight, he goes to comfort his friend. Eight shares that during the night they experienced visions of a person called Amara, and experienced a series of life events through her eyes. Rou ensures that he'll do his best to help Eight understand these new emotions.The pair continue down the road until they arrive in the village of Chillfalls, where a group of people are arguing near a large boulder. Listening in, they realize the group is arguing about a way to honor Arthas for his deeds. They also learn Arthas has gone on with Archimedes, and hopes to meet up with them later.

Få datorspel har påverkat spelkulturen mer än World of Warcraft. Frågan är om spelets logik också påverkat samhället? Det funderar Vincent Flink Amble-Naess på i den här essän. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det sprids en smitta i kungariket. Anhängare av en undergångssekt bryter sig in i förrådsbyggnaderna och förgiftar spannmålet. De som sedan äter av mjölet insjuknar i en febersjukdom och avlider i blodiga kräkningar. När liken har kallnat reser de sig ur graven med lysande blåa ögon för att hemsöka människorna.Den unge kronprinsen leder en styrka av riddare för att bjuda fienden motstånd. När allt verkar förlorat hör han talas om ett förtrollat svärd, som sägs göra bäraren odödlig. I ett försök att hitta vapnet företar han en expedition till en avlägsen kontinent. Han färdas över glaciärer och genom ändlösa snölandskap, och når till slut sitt mål. Men just som han greppar skaftet och drar svärdet ur det isbelagda podiet, känner han hur något förändras. Han segnar ner på knä och sluter ögonen. När han slår upp dem igen lyser de blåa som mareld.Berättelsen om Arthas Menethil den unge kronprinsen som förvandlades till det han ville bekämpa är hämtad från den populära datorspelsserien Warcraft. Serien påbörjades år 1994 med Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. Spelaren hade i uppdrag att bygga sitt samhälle från grunden, rekrytera soldater och utkämpa krig. För att ta hem segern krävdes stora mått av taktik, snabbhet och fingerfärdighet. Spelet var stilbildande i den genre som kallas realtidsstrategi och som hade sin guldålder kring millennieskiftet.Efter det första spelet släpptes ytterligare fem i samma genre, bland annat storsäljaren Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, som berättelsen om Arthas är hämtad från. När det sjätte spelet skulle utvecklas, slog utvecklarna in på en ny och obeprövad väg.År 2004 släpptes den produkt som mer än någon annan skulle komma att symbolisera datorspelsvärlden för utomstående. Spelets titel blev World of Warcraft, förkortat WoW eller som det skulle komma att uttalas i Sverige: våvv.Spelarna rörde sig fritt i en tillsynes oändligt stor spelvärld. De kunde själva välja både utseende, kön och yrke åt sina karaktärer. Och sedan slogs de mot monster, begav sig ut på äventyr och bistod spelvärldens lokalbefolkning genom att lösa olika uppdrag.Det som kännetecknade World of Warcraft var att det inte krävde någon teknisk skicklighet. Till skillnad från tidigare spel behövdes varken fingerfärdighet eller reflexer. Av naturliga skäl var även våra doft- och smaksinnen obrukbara. Och visst fanns det musik i spelet, men efter några månader tröttnade de flesta på den och stängde av. Istället spelades fildelad musik från någon av de nystartade hemsidorna DC++, Limewire och Pirate Bay. Det enda som behövdes för att spela var synen, och en habil rörelseförmåga i höger hand. Vid sidan om detta krävdes tid, ambitioner och framför allt en förmåga att samarbeta.Den som ville ta sig vidare var nämligen tvungen att göra gemensam sak med upp till 40 andra spelare. För att underlätta samarbetet slöt man sig samman i gillen, en form av föreningar som koordinerade spelare i gemensamma uppdrag. I dessa sammanslutningar tillämpades komplexa belöningssystem, där spelarna premierades efter hur mycket de hade bidragit till gruppens gemensamma intressen. Det kunde röra sig om ovanligt fördelaktig utrustning, vapen eller titlar.Men att stiga i rang var en tidskrävande process. För att lyckas räckte det inte med att tillbringa några timmar i veckan vid tangentbordet. Tvärt om var det bland de mera inbitna spelarna inte ovanligt att viga upp till sex timmar om dagen åt spelandet. Med World of Warcraft hade utvecklarna gått från att skapa underhållning till att skapa en livsstil.Kanske var faktumet en effekt av spelets finansieringsmodell. Istället för att som tidigare betala en engångssumma, betalade spelarna en månatlig prenumerationsavgift till det företag som låg bakom spelet: Blizzard Entertainment. Denna omständighet skapade incitament för utvecklarna att ta fram en produkt som höll kvar kunderna så länge som möjligt. Förmodligen var det just därför de sociala aspekterna blev så viktiga. Det som lockar oss att engagera oss mera långvarigt i något är trots allt inte de rent tekniska aspekterna, utan möjligheten att bilda relationer och vinna uppskattning. Eller, som det heter i Hávamál: Människa är människas gamman.De vänskapsband som knöts mellan spelarna var ofta starka. Man förenades i glädjen över ett gemensamt projekt, och under ändlösa nätter framför datorskärmen lärde man känna varandra på djupet, trots att man aldrig hade sett varandra i ögonen. Själv har jag än idag kontakt med några av mina gamla spelkamrater, trots att det har gått över 15 år sedan jag raderade mitt konto.Den samvaro som skapades i spelvärlden skilde sig emellertid från den i den fysiska. Faktumet att händelserna inte utspelade sig i verkligheten utan inuti Blizzard Entertainments huvudserver i Chicago, Illinois bäddade för ett avhumaniserande förhållande till rivaler och motståndare. Inget fick stoppa en i jakten på framgång, och på att klättra i hierarkin. Inte sällan förekom ren mobbing, också bland de vuxna spelarna.Man kan fundera över vilka effekter det har fått på vårt samhälle att en stor del av de unga männen under början av 2000-talet tillbringade sin ungdom i sådana miljöer. Kanske är effekterna större än vad man skulle kunna tro. Samma logik som verkade i spelvärlden tycks nämligen ha kommit att prägla också andra delar av tillvaron. En verksamhet som under det senaste decenniet har kommit att likna ett datorspel är krigföringen, som i allt större utsträckning utkämpas med drönare och andra fjärrstyrda robotar.De som manövrerar maskinerna anställs inom ramen för särskilda förband, som sällan behöver befatta sig med krigets realiteter. En modern stridsdrönare utrustas nämligen inte enbart med missiler och kulsprutor utan även med en högupplösningskamera. Därför kan den återge sin omgivning i detalj på datorskärmar hundratals mil bortom stridens hetta. De som sitter vid spakarna påminner mer om gamers än om riktiga soldater.I likhet med datorspelen krävs det ingen vidare skicklighet för att styra maskinerna. Utan fara för sin egen säkerhet kan piloterna omintetgöra fienden på avstånd, liksom vore de endast pixlar på en skärm. Detsamma gäller civila måltavlor som skyddsrum, skolor och sjukhus. Och vem vet: kanske behöver historien om World of Warcraft kompletteras, när det visar sig att de som i sin ungdom jagade efter draken Onyxia eller eldguden Ragnaros, som stridande i verkliga krig fick styra sina robotar över fiendens territorium på jakt efter ära och berömmelse, och utan hänsyn till sina handlingars konsekvenser.Kanske får vi tillfälle att vända på Karl Marx bevingade ord och konstatera att historien mycket riktigt upprepar sig. Men först som fars, och blott i efterhand som tragedi.Vincent Flink Amble-Naess, skribent

Mein Sohn Am Tage deiner Geburt raunten selbst die Wälder von Lordaeron den Namen... Arthas.
Rou and Eight find a letter left by Arthas and begin their journey south. As they set up camp after a long day of travel, they ponder whether or not the “quest” Arthas has taken on is real. During their discussion, they hear a disturbance in the brush.

After an eventful day rescuing a Jerboamin, followed by a long celebration at their family's shop, Arthas heads to bed in the stables. As he drifts off and begins to dream, he receives a visit from a figure that is half-human and half-goat.The figure introduces themselves as Vuldarin, the god of luck and so-called “Bringer of Chance”. He claims to have a quest for Arthas, one that only the Giant-kin can help with. Something has infiltrated a mage's tower to the south of Ravenspire, and due to its size Arthas is the best person for the job. However, he is told he must leave his companions behind if he is to take on this challenge.Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad

Arthas, Rou and Eight arrive at the town of Ravenspire, where they come across a Jerboamin named Florence. Florence is preparing for a big celebration back at her family's shop, and is nearly hidden by the number of packages she carries. After a brief discussion, the group offers to help Florence carry some of the packages back to her family's shop. When they arrive, they discover a worrisome event has cast a shadow on this joyous day.

Blisternose has made it clear that he has no intention of stopping the drumming. Angered by the party's influence on his people, he attacks Rou. Arthas and Eight are quick to respond when their friend collapses to the ground, the other goblins left in a state of shock and confusion.Rou's wolf form emerges, resulting in the goblins running away in fear. Blisternose is left to deal with the trio alone, who let him escape with his life. After he leaves, the party is forced to deal with the consequences of their interference.

The trio heads off to the unexplored area on their map, attempting to locate the source of the drumming. Upon reaching the rocky outcropping, Arthas tosses a rock and ends up striking a green humanoid named Griswold. Talking to Griswold reveals that they will need to request permission from their chief in order to get the drums to cease.On the other side of the outcropping is a cave, wherein a group of goblins have taken up residence. Talking to the goblin leader, Blisternose, Rou attempts to negotiate a peaceful compromise; however, Blisternose has other plans.Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad
While preparing to leave Kidohlva, each member of the group takes the opportunity to tie up some loose ends. Arthas spends his final two days trying out the various restaurants in the city, and stocking up on supplies.Rou heads to the library, spending his last two days researching Warforged and Giant-kin in an attempt to better understand his companions. He also requests help from Arthas in learning how to use a sword, something that Arthas is more than happy to help with.Eight pays a visit to the head of the council, a Silarin named Latham, to learn what they can about the Jruna family. Although there isn't much the council member can share, Latham is at least able to direct Eight toward the records in Baukora and provides them with a copy of the information.Once the group is out of the mountains and clear of the city Azarra, they come upon a crossroads in their travels where a woman sells produce. When they learn the crossroads is named for a nearby sulfur pool called The Devil's Bathtub, they take the opportunity for a detour and visit the local natural wonder.Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad
Rou and Eight return to the inn, carrying with them a velvet pouch and a scroll with a broken seal. They discuss the nuances of wolf pack behaviors and speculate how Arthas's interview with Professor Whitmire went. When the group is together again, they discover the pouch contains a one-way communication device.Rou attempts to contact anyone that might be at the other end, informing the listener of Arcterus's fate and that they will be the owners of the device. When they read the scroll, they realize the connection it has to the brooch and Rou immediately fears he has committed a social faux pas.Just as they begin to relax, a familiar figure wanders into the inn.Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad
The show goes a little off rails. Please note that the rumors of the Arthas body pillow are completely unfounded. Let's talk about the first days of the Sepulcher of the First Ones instead!

Eight and Arthas arrive at the park with Benny and the illusory cat, Liquid. At first, handing a cat to the toddler does not work in the pair's favor. Benny's attention is quickly diverted when a vendor selling treats comes into view. Eight quickly obliges, but learns children are not great at negotiating when they try to exchange the treat for the cat.Enlisting some help from the vendor, Eight and Arthas are able to get the cat from the child's tight grip. As a show of appreciation for the assistance, Eight happily performs a trick with Liquid. Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad
It has been a week since the party met the spellweaver named Venya. While Eight and Arthas are enjoying breakfast, their innkeeper, Beverly, informs them that the inn would be closed for the afternoon while she hosts a seminar. The pair then proceed to wrap up some leftovers in preparation to go meet with Arcterus.It is at this point that their morning is interrupted by Beverly's daughter, who is in desperate need of a baby-sitter. In exchange for two free nights, Beverly convinces Eight and Arthas to watch her grandson, a toddler named Benny. It isn't long before Eight and Arthas realize that baby-sitting is not as easy as they might have supposed.Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad

On today's episode: Microsoft's announcement to acquire Activision-Blizzard for $69 Billion sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. The powerhouse behind Windows, the Xbox, and Clippy wants to bring in the likes of Arthas, Kerrigan, and Tracer to their broader Xbox Games Studios family. And just the week prior, TakeTwo announced their intent to acquire mobile and web-game studio Zynga for $12 Billion, which had been the record before the Microsoft announcement. With the last few years of big studio purchases and acquisitions by some of the top game companies in the world, this means more and more development and publishing under the control of a select few. How do these acquisitions fit into the broader gaming ecosystem, and what do these types of changes mean for gamers going forward. This week, we talk about Game Company Acquisitions. Note: This episode was recorded on 1/28, before the announcement that Sony was purchasing Bungie for $3.6 Billion.

To decide draft order, we spun a wheel we made on WheelDecide.com We drafted three lore characters for our dodgeball team! Bent: Sylvanas Windrunner, Garrosh Hellscream, Shandris Feathermoon Woolly: Tyrande Whisperwind, Illidan Stormrage, Azeroth the Titan Gershom: The Jailer, Kael'thas Sunstrider, Orgrim Doomhammer Rules: (Bent, Woolly, Gershom) 1. Once a character is drafted, they are not an option anymore. 2. Variants of that character are NOT to be treated as another character (for example, alternate Draenor Velen vs Velen. Another example would be Arthas before he went bad vs Arthas after he went bad. If you pick Arthas, you're picking ALL of Arthas) 3. Draft order goes down and back. If the order is ABC, the first two rounds would follow as ABC,CBA rather than ABC,ABC 4. You have to explain why you're drafting who you're drafting. Who won the draft, in your opinion?

Arthas and Rou spend a few days doing their own research, as well as indulging in some of the activities that Kidohlva has to offer. Arthas is finally able to get his first tattoo and Rou partakes in some of the lectures offered at the university. Eight, on the other hand, gets lost in their research and leaves little time to indulge in anything else.One day, while studying together in the observation lounge, the group notices that the staff assigned to assist them suddenly leaves the room without a word. Rou and Arthas then begin to feel their eyelids grow heavy, the muscles become weary and the draw of sleep becomes strong. Even Eight begins to feel drowsy and fails to resist the hold of this strange force.They soon realize that they're in a dark abyss. A voice speaks from the darkness, echoing in the vast space. A door opens, light shining through, beckoning to the trio of companions.Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, and Wren @ThornyDryad
