Manny asks Lex and Sean about the battles we have fought in The War Within thus far. Sean continues his feud with PwnGodX but is betrayed as Lex demands that he be put out of a job.
This week's episode was inspired by a question from a listener, about where the story is going from here as we make our way toward the next expansion of World of Warcraft, Midnight. We veer right into Tinfoil Hat territory pretty quickly. After all, it's tough when a lot of the sources we have are either written by unreliable narrators, or were written well before any of current events were even thought of -- which is part of the question itself. The Titans, the First Ones, and how they interact with the Void is a topic with a lot of intricacies and ground to cover, so Matt and Joe will do their best to navigate all this treacherous ground.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Sean returns, but all is not well in the aftermath of the RWF. We talk about the warts of uneven progression, problematic balance, and the hope that future releases come when they are ready.
This week's Lore Watch Podcast is Q&A style, so the topics veer all over the place -- more so than usual. We start off with a question about the Emerald Dream and whether it was designed as a prison -- timely, given Hearthstone's latest expansion releasing yesterday. Speaking of Hearthstone, the next question concerns in-game board games, and what kind of play happens on Azeroth. Then, they follow it up with a question about the Botani and other NPCs potentially coming to Azeroth from different planes and timelines. Seems like a good way to get new games, but then I usually just look through Steam. If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Join our hosts Joe Perez and Matt Rossi as they discuss the lore around the Sethrak, the snakelike humanoids we initially met in Vol'dun in Battle for Azeroth. How does their worship of the animalistic Loa spirits shape their society? Titans may tie in to the animalistic loa, and the two working together may have shaped Azeroth as we know it. Plus, they discuss the evolution of species in the context of a magical world: when is a dragonfrog a froglike dragon and when is it dragonlike, but a frog?This week's Lore Watch Podcast is a Sethrakstravaganza.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Salty Sean and Lippity Lex are not happy about the tuning of the raid nor the delves. Can Manny mellow them out? The answer is no; and therefore, this episode is getting the explicit tag.
The time if finally here. Sharpen your broadswords, try and pick up your warhammers, because it's finally time to fight for the future of Azeroth! And by the future of Azeroth, I mean the vague understanding of quality of a 2016 movie made by David Bowie's kid on his laptop. Check it out! Then listen to this.
