Jørgen har reist på harrytur til Sverige, på trass. Ole Petter har sett Verdens Verste Menneske, og er i likhet med Jørgen ikke spesielt imponert. Vi går gjennom skapelsen av årets kodekrim. Vi mobber medlemmene i kode24-klubben, blant annet for å gjøre alt så komplisert av vi ikke skjønner noen ting. Jørgen anbefaler Noclips dokumentar om Among Us. Ole Petter anbefaler boka "The WoW Diary: A Journal of Computer Game Development” av John Staats. Vi har et par kodevitser, og en som faktisk er morsom, om hvorfor de bruker flexbox hos Pirate Bay.

How do video game stories get developed and told? And how do those story lines influence gamers in the real world? On this episode, we talk with John Staats, author and game designer, to learn how these vehicles of immersion captivate the imagination. Also at our table, we had Casey Chambers and Torin Wright, who are professional gamers with TESPA a collegiate eSports platform. This competitive team accessed their gaming stage to highlight social injustice and use their voices to protest issues around the world. While some see video games as child's play, these guests explain that culture, agency, and social interactions are key elements as well!

Beta is done and so it's time to give some final thoughts on what was a critical window of time for WoW Classic's development process. The show extensively covers the winners and losers of the beta, which includes a twist that would make M. Night Shymalan cringe! After that the show goes on to break down the sneakily huge blue post regarding crit suppression with the theorycrafters, vanilla dungeon designer John Staat's is back for part two of his epic recap of the making of Karazhan, and then we hear all about what's happening with Countdown To Classic guild options.

Less than seven weeks to launch and there's more to talk about on the show than ever! Listen to Josh discuss a wide range of topics with the listeners, who continue to call in for a fun chat. Today, Hunter extraordinaire Zeroed stops by to chat about all of the Hunter issues that have reared their ugly head in the beta, causing concern for everyone wanting to roll their beloved ranged class in Classic.  Vanilla dungeon designer John Staats stops by again for part one of an epic two part conversation about the making of Karazhan, which while not being playable in vanilla, was very much a part of the vanilla design process. Next, we unite former nemeses in a call about vanilla raid history, as members of famed guilds Nihilum and Death & Taxes stop by to bury the hatchet and fondly reminisce about their feats back in the day.  After that, we go over some detailed theorycrafting about warriors, warlocks and priests amongst others, and then finish up speaking with the host of the fantastic podcast 'Convert To Raid', as Pat Krane stops by to talk about what it's been like coming back to Classic in the beta after so many years with retail.

Did somebody call in about Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?!? Countdown To Classic is back again as we inch another week closer to launch day, and we've got more topical issues and game related chatter for you. Callers from far and wide hit the show up to discuss the minutiae behind using Thunderfury, a pro-world buffs reply, and Twitch sensation Dr. Lupo stops by to talk about his history with WoW and give his thoughts on how well WoW Classic and streaming will mix. Then we hear from a couple of European players who have concerns over the recent news from Blizzard about EU servers, and finally, vanilla dungeon designer John Staats is back again to discuss the making of Wailing Caverns.

With the beta now being 6 weeks old, those who have been fortunate enough to spend time with it have begun to notice a few things which warrant a conversation about their implementation in WoW Classic.  Today, the listeners touch on some of those points. We first hear all about melee leeway and get some further commentary on the layering examples that we've seen pop up thus far.  This is followed by a correction from an IT expert on the technical side of layering as touched on in earlier episodes. From there, we hear all about how the AV weekend went, and then about a couple of server firsts in the third stress test from a pair of speed runners. And, finally, we hear once again from vanilla WoW dungeon designer John Staats, all about the making of Scholomance. Highlights Below: Calling Countdown #1 - Melee Leeway Commentary w/ Ayle & North (Feat.

The beta rolls on and brings with it a couple of fresh talking points for the show and its listeners to tackle this week with Josh. Warsong Gulch has been open for a couple of weeks now in the beta and Arathi Basin just opened days ago, and with those come the bloodthirsty PvP testers looking to see how things perform on the battlegrounds. After that we break down stream sniping, after some comments made by streamer Sodapoppin ignited the forums this past week on the issue. Then, we welcome back vanilla WoW level designer John Staats, for the first of a lengthy ongoing segment all about the design of vanilla WoW's instances.  Listen in to part one of this series, as John tells us all about how he built one of the most beloved dungeons in MMORPG history, Blackrock Depths. The show then rounds out with a great call with a sitting member of the state of Maine's House of Representatives, about that one time that WoW got caught up in politics, and also a follow up call from last week, for a slightly different angle on the Trollgodx issue at the dueling tournament. Highlights Below: Calling Countdown #1 - Beta BG's w/ Ayle, Fried, Khano, & Nano - 2:50 Calling Countdown #2 - Stream Sniping w/ Boosh & Gleb - 31:35 Calling Countdown #3 - The Making of Blackrock Depths w/ John Staats, Gromboli, & Vilius - 50:55 Calling Countdown #4 - When WoW Met Politics w/ Colleen Madigan, Maine - House of Representatives (D) - 1:52:35 Calling Countdown #5 - Trollgodx Part Two - Blizzard Should Consider Some Action w/ Emmortal, Sabara, & Trabadab - 2:20:25   Buy 'The WoW Diary' by John Staats on Amazon @ https://www.amazon.com/WoW-Diary-Journal-Computer-Development/dp/B07LB927QF Find John Staats on Twitter @ https://twitter.com/johnstaats_wir?lang=en Directly download here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/countdowntoclassic/C2C_Episode_108_Final.mp3 Also listen @ Spotify here (Spotify takes a couple of hours to upload after posting, check back later if not there): https://open.spotify.com/show/38mHWjscNorJr7OFeNu8X5?si=c6JKxJeSRCeLQPSIlKJL8w Or @ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/countdown-to-classic/id1352967778 Or @ Stitcher: http://stitcher.com/s?fid=174762&refid=stpr Join the Countdown To Classic Discord here: https://discord.gg/2xJAwNf Find Ayle @ https://classicwow.live/ And on Twitch @  https://www.twitch.tv/aylegaming Find Fried on Twitch @ https://twitch.tv/fri3d_ Find Khano on Twitch @ https://twitch.tv/khanotv Find Nano on Twitch @ https://twitch.tv/nanonost And on Twitter @ https://twitter.com/nano_warcraft?lang=en Find Boosh on Twitch @ https://twitch.tv/booshies Pick up awesome Countdown To Classic show rewards @ Patreon: patreon.com/countdowntoclassic Or grab some awesome Countdown To Classic merch @ Red Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/joshcorbo82?ref=artist_title_name&asc=u Or support the show with a tip @ Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/Y8Y3D2TT Or simply show your support by leaving the show a review at iTunes or by telling a friend!

Speaking with someone who was a part of the team that made the game that is the subject of this podcast has been a lofty goal of Josh's ever since beginning this journey with you all. Listen in as Josh sits down for a very special, lengthy, chat with vanilla World of Warcraft's original 3D Level Designer, and architect of many of the caves, dungeons and raids that you've spent hundreds of hours in, John Staats. John has written a book, titled 'The World of Warcraft Diary: A Journal In Computer Game Development' (which will have a Kickstarter campaign starting on August 28).  John was kind enough to send me a preview of the first 100 pages of the book and I can easily say it's something that I will be recommending getting behind wholeheartedly as an excellent 'in the room' account of the making of World of Warcraft. This is an exceptionally long interview.  John was too kind in affording me 3 1/2 hours of his time over two back to back days.  Whilst you may rightfully balk at this run time, I can assure you every minute of this chat had me on the edge of my seat and unveiled a bunch of things that we simply never knew about the development of World of Warcraft.
