With the rigidity of the structure of the Kirin Tor and the Jedi Order, and their propensity for keeping secrets about power -- and sometimes that power for themselves -- there are a ton of parallels between these two organizations. Our hosts Matt and Joe dive deep into both the World of Warcraft universe and the Star Wars universe in order to compare and contrast the master light side wielders of the force and the best mages in Azeroth.While this doesn't imply that, for instance, Rhonin is a Jedi, it doesn't not imply it, either.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Frank is joined by Kyle and Scott for a packed roundtable on Gamescom highlights, World of Warcraft Midnight reveals, and a friendly debate on brand events versus trade shows. The crew breaks down Hollow Knight Silksong hype, Fallout Season 2's New Vegas vibe, a surprise standout in Lego Batman, and how Blizzard's housing and three raids at launch could reshape the way we play. They wrap with network updates and weekly recommendations. Timestamps and Topics 00:00: Introduction and panel lineup 00:30: Question of the week — fictional foods from pop culture 03:01: News of the week — Gamescom overview 03:37: Hollow Knight Silksong release window and gameplay hopes 06:02: Warhammer 40K love plus Dawn of War memories 08:16: Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 concerns, design shift, and dev changes 15:56: Resident Evil 9 trailer reactions and expectations 16:57: Fallout Season 2 trailer — New Vegas sights and more of The Ghoul 18:24: Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight looks like a true Arkham style entry 20:34: World of Warcraft Midnight cinematic first reactions — Silvermoon, Lor'themar, Zalatath 26:31: Who were the light aligned warriors and how that reveal could have landed 30:15: Midnight features — three raids at launch, eight dungeons, delves, prey system, outdoor play 31:45: Why multiple smaller raids can help modern raiders 34:19: Where each host plans to spend time — raiding, delving, housing 35:30: Player housing deep dive — free placement, neighborhoods, profession recipes in old zones 41:49: Professions and transmog updates make old content matter again 42:49: Demon Hunter Devourer spec talk and leveling plans 46:23: Built in raid tools and quality of life changes 46:41: Brand events versus trade shows — BlizzCon immersion or Gamescom reach 55:14: How activations bridge both worlds and keep hype alive 58:02: What Blizzard could do next and a brainstorm on venue layout 01:04:18: Network news — Challenge Accepted updates and more from the Geek Freaks crew 01:06:07: Weekly recommendations — Hollow Knight, Dawn of War, Cowboys doc 01:13:47: Sign off Key Takeaways Hollow Knight Silksong finally feels real with fresh footage and a near term release window that has fans buzzing. Fallout Season 2 leans into New Vegas energy and looks ready to give Walton Goggins even more to chew on. Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight plays like a full Arkham style experience in a lighter package. World of Warcraft Midnight lands with a striking Silvermoon set piece and a clear villain in Zalatath while sparking questions about the light aligned reinforcements. Midnight launches with three raids, eight dungeons, delves, and a prey system that targets you in the open world for dynamic encounters. Housing is fully free form with place anywhere decoration, neighborhood vibes, and recipes scattered across old zones and dungeons, which brings back legacy professions and exploration. Built in raid tools and UI polish aim to raise the floor for everyone, not just add on users. Brand owned shows like BlizzCon deliver clarity, atmosphere, and community rituals. Trade shows give reach and variety but can dilute focus. Memorable Quotes “Hollow Knight Silksong got a release date. I am beyond excited.” “Lego Batman is straight up a new Arkham game. Who knew that would be the most complete Batman experience.” “Lor'themar finally got his moment to be the badass I always wanted him to be.” “Three raids at launch is a return to a cadence that actually fits how people play now.” “Housing should pull you back into old Azeroth and make those zones feel alive again.” Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

In een gloednieuwe aflevering van Side Quest duiken we weer vol enthousiasme de wereld van games, films en meer! Juliën waagt zich aan de kleurrijke chaos van Donkey Kong Bananza en vertelt ons hoe het is om bananen te verzamelen in deze tropische comeback van de iconische aap. Alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, stapt hij ook nog even in zijn post-apocalyptische bezorgdienst in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Sjaak heeft alvast een glimp mogen opvangen van Dying Light: The Beast en deelt zijn eerste indrukken van deze bloederige zombie game. Ondertussen neemt Nick ons mee terug naar Azeroth, waar World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic eindelijk live is en ja, dat betekent panda's, grinden en nostalgie in overvloed. Zoals altijd heeft Nick weer een goed gevulde quiz in elkaar gezet, met pittige vragen over onder andere de Pokémon Presents, de cast van The Legend of Zelda casting en geruchten rond Battlefield 6. Ook buiten de gamewereld is er genoeg te bespreken: Nick is weer lekker bezig met de One Piece TCG, Juliën is weer vaker in de bios gespot en is diep in de Gundam-rabbit hole gevallen: van Gunpla bouwen tot de anime bingen. Verder praten we je bij over het nieuwe seizoen van B&B Vol Liefde, een intrigerende Netflix-docu over Amy Bradley, en nog veel meer.Daarnaast maken we sinds dit jaar extra content voor onze luisteraars en kijkers via Patreon.

Is Blizzard spoiling their own story? The wait for Ghost of K'aresh will be over before you even know it.
Two listener questions form bookends to an overarching concept this week on the Lore Watch Podcast. First, what is happening to Outland as it is now, 20 years after we visited? Is it still crumbling as it was, and what is becoming of the people and creatures still living there? Then, continuing on the theme, the next question asks, what if Azeroth's fate -- after burrowing Old Gods and Titan stabbing and 20 years of varied psychic abuse -- is already sealed, and our planet is doomed to crumble as well?It's a very optimistic, cheerful episode of Lore Watch this week. We hope you enjoy it?If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
