Send us a textDigital ownership through blockchain transcends the basic concept of "buying JPEGs" - it represents a fundamental shift in how we interact with digital assets and communities. In this riveting conversation with Shatt, we explore how his background in gaming provided the perfect foundation for understanding NFT value propositions from day one."Follow your passions even if others don't give a shit" stands as the guiding philosophy that helped Shatt navigate the complex world of digital collecting. Unlike many who chase influencer recommendations or trending projects, Shatt's approach centers on finding art that personally resonates - whether that's animated pieces that evoke emotional responses comparable to Pixar films or works that document the cultural evolution of Web3 itself.The episode delves into the mechanisms of artist discovery in a space still lacking robust curation systems. From examining collections of established collectors to participating in curated drops like Click Create, Shatt shares practical wisdom for finding quality amid the noise. Particularly enlightening is his focus on artists who persist through bear markets - a signal of authentic artistic commitment versus opportunistic participation.We witness a collector's evolution through Shatt's hilarious recounting of his first Bored Ape purchase - sitting on his front lawn afterward, beer in hand, wondering "I don't know what I just did. It's either really stupid or really smart." This candid moment perfectly captures the leap of faith many early adopters experienced.Beyond collecting, the conversation explores how Discord voice chats create unprecedented access to knowledge sharing across experience levels, allowing newcomers to connect directly with experienced collectors and builders. This flattened social structure represents one of Web3's most transformative yet underappreciated aspects.Join us for this deep dive into authentic collecting philosophy, artist appreciation, and community building that goes far beyond surface-level trends. Whether you're a seasoned collector or NFT-curious, Shatt's perspectives offer valuable guidance for navigating this evolving landscape with intention and authenticity.https://x.com/Shatt_EthSupport the show

Let Freedom Ring #7 Free To Be Free!, Galatians 5:1-15 By Louie Marsh, 7-29-2007   1)  Jesus set me free to BE FREE!   “1It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1, BSB)   Freedom has ETERNAL VALUE.   Why? What is that Value?   ·       You could say without it we can reach our full potential – true but not the real value ·       Because it makes me happy and that's what life is all about. ·       Real Reason: We are make in God's image, and are called to be like God, and God is Free!   The Two Components of Spiritual Freedom:   Free FROM   &  Free TO   3 Way this freedom works in my life   1) In my relationship with Jesus   Free From: SEEKING SECURITY which INVALIDATES Christ's power in my life.   Free To: Live life TRUSTING God's spirit alone.   “2Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.” (Galatians 5:2–5, BSB)   2) In how I live out the truth.   “6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love. 7You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth? 8Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you. 9A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough. 10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be. 11Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!” (Galatians 5:6–12, BSB)   Why don't these agitators, obsessive as they are about circumcision, go all the way and castrate themselves! Galatians 5:12 (MSG)   Free From: DECEPTION   News Item: Giant Man-Eating Badgers in Basra British military officials are denying reports that they released, we kid you not, "strange man-eating bear-like" badgers to sow fear among the residents of Basra, Iraq. "We have not released giant badgers in Basra, and nor have we been collecting eggs and releasing serpents into the Shatt al-Arab river," Maj. David Gell tells reporters, according to The Guardian..   Free To: Live by FAITH through LOVE.   3) In how I view myself   “13For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”” (Galatians 5:13–14, BSB)   Free From: A SELF-CENTERED life   Free To: SERVE God & others

Dans l'extrême-sud irakien, là où les températures ont dépassé les 50°C cet été, et où la principale source d'eau, le Shatt el-Arab, récolte toutes les pollutions accumulées sur le trajet du Tigre et de l'Euphrate, l'eau y est toxique à bien des égards pour la population.  De notre correspondante à Bagdad,Depuis la corniche flambant neuve de Bassora, malgré la chaleur, difficile d'imaginer piquer une tête dans le Shatt el-Arab.Les eaux du Tigre et de l'Euphrate se rejoignent à quelques kilomètres en amont. Pétrole, déchets industriels et domestiques, ainsi que les eaux usées de tout le pays s'y retrouvent mélangées.Badr Mohsen et son ami s'y baignent pourtant et pêchent. « Une partie pourra être vendue, et une autre ne sera d'aucune utilité. Les poissons sont contaminés par la pollution. Ma famille est déjà tombée malade à cause du poisson. Ça donne des diarrhées, des nausées et des maux de tête, parce que les poissons vivent dans une eau contaminée », explique Badr Mohsen.À écouter aussiÀ Bagdad, la santé des habitants en jeuLe Shatt el-Arab, « une décharge qui collecte tous les déchets »Le professeur Ali Nasser, chercheur à l'université de Bassora, acquiesce en l'écoutant. Depuis des années, il scrute la composition du fleuve. Armé d'une bouteille en plastique, il prélève de l'eau du Shatt el-Arab.« Le Shatt el-Arab devient une décharge qui collecte tous les déchets, les drainages agricoles, du nord de l'Irak, et même de la Turquie. Nous avons des maladies qui se diffusent comme les coliques et le choléra », observe-t-il.Les polluants peuvent aussi être des métaux lourds comme le cadmium, le nickel, le plomb, du manganèse, cancérigènes, neurotoxiques ou sources d'intoxications multiples…À écouter aussiÀ Kirkouk, les eaux empoisonnées par les rejets pétroliersCercle vicieuxÀ Bassora, les poisons sont donc nombreux dans l'eau. Dans son laboratoire, Shiamaa Shaker, biologiste basrawi, soumet régulièrement des prélèvements à une batterie de tests. « Quand le niveau des cours d'eau est haut, cela permet une dilution des composants polluants, mais quand les niveaux baissent, cela mène à une augmentation de la concentration de la pollution, et une de ces sources de contamination peut amener le choléra », indique Shiamaa Shaker.Les autorités irakiennes nous ayant interdit l'accès aux hôpitaux pour ce reportage, nous rentrons à Bagdad, rencontrer la responsable du directorat des maladies infectieuses, Docteur Sinan Ghazi pour évoquer les risques sanitaires.« Principalement, nous vérifions la présence de la bactérie E. coli qui est une preuve de pollution », souligne Sinan Ghazi. « Elle indique si ce n'est plus possible pour les humains d'utiliser l'eau pour nettoyer ou se laver, car c'est dangereux pour la santé. »À écouter aussiLa pollution des eaux du Tigre au Kurdistan irakien dans la région de SouleimaniyeL'Irak est donc entré dans un cercle vicieux. Les Nations Unies estiment que 20 % des ressources en eau du pays auront disparu en 2025. Cette baisse pourrait entraîner une augmentation des risques sanitaires liés à la pollution des eaux. Et ces enjeux sanitaires, le système hospitalier défaillant ne pourra pas y répondre.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of NorCal and Shill! In today's episode, our host, NorCal Guy, is joined by a special guest, Shatt. Shatt is an art enthusiast and avid collector in the NFT space. They have some fascinating insights to share about the current state of the art world, their experiences in the NFT market, and their thoughts on the future of digital ownership.Shatt kicks off the conversation by expressing their desire to see less "coattailing" in the art world. They believe that too many artists follow a trend after one artist achieves success, resulting in a lack of originality. Instead, they advocate for more animated art, specifically GIF art and short films in a Pixar style.Throughout the episode, Shatt highlights several talented artists who they believe are underexposed in the space. They also discuss the overshadowing of other art forms, such as 3D rendered short pieces, due to the current focus on generative and AI art. They express admiration for a particular artist named offshoot, whose work they find incredible but feel is not receiving the recognition it deserves.Shatt's journey into the NFT world began when they purchased their first board ape in March 2021. They were introduced to NFTs through a podcast called Bankless, which primarily focused on DeFi. They admit to being unfamiliar with "Crypto Twitter" initially but forged their own path and eventually found themselves diving deeper into the world of NFTs.As the conversation progresses, Shatt shares their thoughts on digital art becoming more prominent, the democratization of art ownership, and the challenges of navigating the NFT space. They discuss their own collecting preferences, the allure of Tezos, and the value they find in curated art drops.Join us in this engaging episode as Shatt provides valuable insights into the NFT market, discusses their own collecting journey, and examines the ever-evolving landscape of digital ownership. Stay tuned for an episode filled with thought-provoking discussions and exciting revelations. Let's dive in!https://twitter.com/Shatt_Eth

My guest for this episode is Eric Shatt. With his wife and partner Deva, Eric is the owner of Redbyrd Orchard Cider in the Finger Lakes Region of NY. I love that Deva and Eric put the orchard first in their name and in their philosophy of cider making. In fact, Eric is an apple breeder and preservationist. He grows over 150 varieties of apples in his 4-acre orchard and is cultivating trees propagated from the wild and then crossed with others. He also makes some unique and delicious cider. Eric tells us how all that diversity in the orchard provides reinforcements against the unpredictable nature of, um, nature, and how it can also provide consistency to the cider. He gives us an intro to grafting, and discusses his unique approach to making cider, as well as his desire to promote freedom of technique and experimentation in the cellar. Redbyrd has been certified biodynamic for years, but Eric and I discuss how he came to be aware of biodynamics' troubling origins and the beliefs of Rudolf Steiner. While Eric is drawn to the spiritual connections in farming that biodynamics brings attention to, we discuss why its history has caused he and Deva to question whether it is something they'll continue to support via certification. This is a succulent conversation on many levels because of Eric's thoughtfulness and curiosity about the many unknowns that are part of farming and making wine in our little corner of the cosmos. https://redbyrdorchardcider.com/ Sponsor: https://www.centralaswine.com/

In our latest podcast, we head to one of the Great War's forgotten fronts - Mesopotamia, or modern-day Iraq.  A campaign that was almost medieval in its approach to fighting, the critical waterway, the Shatt al Arab became the focus of fighting in a landscape devoid of any proper infrastructure. In this episode we look at some of the key events, culminating in an analysis of the siege of Kut, a 147-day campaign that cost the lives of 30,000 Allied soldiers, and sent 13,000 men on a death march to Turkish captivity, of which 1 in 4 died.What have we learned from the fighting in Iraq one hundred years ago and what will future historians make of the current global situation?https://www.patreon.com/foostepsofthefallenSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/footstepsofthefallen)

This is a recording of a live webinar held on Friday 19th November 2021 for the MEC. Dr Michael Mason, Director of the Middle East Centre, London School of Economics and Political Science presents “Failing Flows: The Politics of Water Management in Southern Iraq”. Dr Michael Willis (St Antony's College, Oxford) chairs this webinar. In July 2018 massive protests erupted in Basra city as residents demanded improvements in public services. Failings in water management were at the heart of local grievances: an outbreak of water-related illnesses was triggered by the increased use of polluted water from the Shatt al-Arab, Basra's principal source of water. However, the deterioration of public water infrastructure has its roots in decades of armed conflict and international sanctions. Tap water has been undrinkable since the 1990s, forcing most households to rely on private water vendors. Water infrastructure upgrading was a priority for state-rebuilding after 2003 but receded under the sectarian civil war. Governmental and donor plans for mega-infrastructure water projects have stalled in the face of political stasis and systemic corruption. Compact water treatment units are the dominant purification technology, supplying 83% of treatment capacity across Basra governorate and 92% in Basra city. The effectiveness of this water treatment technology is reduced by irregular supplies of freshwater from the Bada'a Canal - flows negatively impacted by upstream dam construction, climatic variability and illegal water tapping. There is a pressing need to diversify water sources for Basra and improve the efficiencies of treatment technologies and distribution networks. The LSE report that Dr Michael Mason refers to in his presentation is available from the LSE website: Failing_Flows_003_.pdf (lse.ac.uk) Artworked credit: Azhar Al-Rubaie, 2021 Dr Michael Mason is Director of the Middle East Centre and Associate Professor in Environmental Geography at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is interested in ecological politics and governance as applied to questions of accountability, security and sovereignty. His research addresses both global environmental politics and environmental change in Western Asia/the Middle East. He has a particular interest in environmental issues within conflict-affected areas and occupied territories, including Iraq, northern Cyprus, and the occupied Golan Heights. Alongside articles in a wide range of journals and chapter contributions, he is the author or editor of five books, of which the most recent is the forthcoming co-edited volume, The Untold Story of the Golan Heights (2022). Dr Michael J. Willis is Director of the Middle East Centre at St Antony's College, University of Oxford and King Mohammed VI Fellow in Moroccan and Mediterranean Studies. His research interests focus on the politics, modern history and international relations of the central Maghreb states (Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco). He is the author of Politics and Power in the Maghreb: Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco from Independence to the Arab Spring (Hurst and Oxford University Press, 2012) and The Islamist Challenge in Algeria: A Political History (Ithaca and New York University Press, 1997) and co-editor of Civil Resistance in the Arab Spring: Triumphs and Disasters (Oxford University Press, 2015).

Eric Shatt grew up in Pennsylvania and graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in Agriculture Biology. After hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2000 he started his own journey in farming. He worked for a few small organic farms before jumping into the world of viticulture and winemaking working for vineyards in the Finger Lakes region of central New York for over nine seasons. He also worked as Orchard Manager for Cornell University's research orchard and vineyard in Ithaca, NY for 10 years. During this time Eric and his partner Deva started Redbyrd Orchard in 2003, a Biodynamic orchard and cidery where they grow along with their 3 sons, apples, pears, strawberries, geese and sheep in an attempt to harmoniously blend agriculture with the rhythms of nature and the cosmos. Redbyrd Orchard became Biodynamic Certified by Demeter in 2018. They recognize their farming activities take place on land taken from the *Hau-den-o'sau-nee* and strive for social justice and equity in community and agriculture. Redbyrd Orchard Cider has been featured in the Smithsonian Magazine, the Washington Post, Bloomberg.com, the New York Times, GQ and more.

"Meaning, mission, and purpose – I’ve come to believe this is the biggest wellspring of resilience. If you can find something to connect to that is larger than self, that is one of the most important protective factors in resilience." Dr. Andrew Shatté returns to the program with part two of his interview on resilience. Andrew is an author and the founder and President of Phoenix Life Academy, a training company that specializes in measuring and training for resilience. He is a Research Professor in the Medical School of the University of Arizona and co-author of the book The Resilience Factor.

"The key I think is not to change the style but help people become aware of their thinking styles, where they are vulnerable to faulty thinking, how that might rob them of resilience, and then teach them a skill to be able to get around that style." Dr. Andrew Shatté is an author and the founder and president of Phoenix Life Academy, a training company that specializes in measuring and training for resilience. He is a Research Professor in the Medical School of the University of Arizona and co-author of the book The Resilience Factor . He shares his thoughts on resilience in part one of this two-part interview.

Join host Elise Marquam Jahns as she chats with Dr. Andrew Shatté, TedxNasa speaker and founder and President of Mindflex. A Ph.D. psychologist, Dr. Shatté has devoted his 25-year career to understanding the psychological aspects of motivation and resilience and to developing programs to optimize human performance in the workplace, health, academics, and sports. He and his colleagues were the first to develop the principles of resilience and apply them to the corporate sector. Most notably Dr. Shatté has determined that resilience is the single greatest predictor of who will succeed and who will not, and who will be happy and who will not. Currently Dr. Shatté is a Research Professor in the Medical School of the University of Arizona. He is the co-author of The Resilience Factor, and meQuilibrium. A sought out speaker on resilience, Dr. Shatté has delivered over 1,000 keynote speeches to large corporate audiences over the last decade. To learn more, visit AndrewShatte.com.

Chronic stress takes a toll on the quality of work and life, for both leaders and the people they lead. Stress muddies our thinking, impairs judgment, damages health and relationships, and causes people to burn out and quit their job. The solution, according to Dr. Andrew Shatté, is for leaders to become stress-relient and to […] For additional content and links, visit http://www.EngagingLeader.com

In this edition, we look at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, the Shatt al-Arab river and a wildlife refuge.

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. We start off with a discussion of the Scourge, good or bad?  Fun! What We've Been Doing Aprillian Right after recording, I logged on to my "Scribe" because I had remembered the cooldown and I learned a new minor glyph for warriors.  I'm loving it. Did some HH in Brill and Razor Hill. Sunday night I got caught up with getting everyone around to get the xp in all the pumpkins.  I was alternating summoning alts on the ref and mast account and then getting fps and then doing it again with different pairs and of course getting flight paths Tuesday I got my "new" MacBook Pro.  It's not the newest one, but for $1400 I got 2.5gh, 250 gig hd and 512 vram.  It's big and smoking. Dual boxing with cellular modem is like buttah.  Then I finally solved what I considered the Holy Grail of my Dual Boxing.  I suppose when you are living alone, the sounds of WoW are not an issue.  When Hubby isn't home, I usually have both computers turned on.  When he's home, I put the headphones in one and put the other on silent.  This is okay but sometimes I turn and look and find that one is being attacked and the sound didn't carry over.  Plus on one computer I sometimes have a podcast playing.  I tried cables that would join the two sounds but often I would get an annoying hum.  I solved the problem with a DJ Mixer.  I know it's overkill but both computers are plugged in and cued and it works great. Wed morning ER was down so I logged on to my ally toons on Dunemaul.  Level 6 Dranei Warrior and Nelf Druid.  Perfect opportunity to get them some levels.  We did Azure Watch and Exador and then the nelf hearthed back to the Nelf starting zone and then we ran to Darnassus, so easy, and then caught the boat to Auberdine and then another boat I thought to Menethel harbor, but noo, it took us to SW, how convenient.  Got them to level 10 Wed evening had Auntrillia running around Outland, ran her and Aprillian to Netherstorm and then summoned alts from Rilfire to low level toons.  Love Netherstorm.  Got Squashling from Treat bag on 3 alts. Ran out of soul shards. Aprillian got a quest out of Horseman in Brill is hard, due to cart, easiest is Falconwing Square. Looks like a lost a bit of what I did since Wed, so I'm going forward and try to fill in the gaps later. Saturday night, some lower level toons are finishing up the baskets in Kalimador or Eastern Kingdoms.   I should probably be focusing on finishing it with Aprillian, who dinged 64, Auntrillia who dinged 65 and Rilfire who dinged 63. Downloaded and installed a mod called Multiboxer - but it has a funny side effect, it changes the tool bar to the #2 row. Ashayo Scourge attacks! - Started at 10 mins , down to 2 for disease - Necropolis hovering over towns ; epic "vs undead" gear (tough to tag ; heavy competition!) - Quests at Lights Hope Chapel. New boss in Kara Decided I'd limit working on achievements to just Ashayo. - Jenkins - LBRS - UBRS - Hallows End ; yes, including the 50 G.N.E.R.D kills. - Scholo (Stigg was going for book worm achievement) - Heroic Magisters Terrace ( nice chest peice too ) Jekle and Hiide completed Tricks and Treats of Azeroth (interesting that Blizz include Outland in 'Azeroth') Ashwhack and Asharmin also completed - went from level 36 to 38. Thanks to Aprillian for summons to BE and Netherstorm :) Ran HH so many times I lost track. Have not seen mount drop once! New discoveries - Inn keepers now sell level 70 and 75 food ; better than the old 65 food/drink - High level mobs not chasing as far/long? - Putting out the fire at Falconwing Square is *alot* easier than at Brill or Durotar - Don't need Falconwatch FP to fly Shatt to Thrallmar. Raiding & Instances - Ashield tanked Kara tonight (awesome heals by Shojobeat) Got the Arcanite Ripper (Tenris Murkblood - new boss) Also belt and gloves (was green, to horror of healer) - Jekle tried Mnt Hyjal with BiPs. Almost got 1st boss down - Rage Winterchill. Email Hey Guys... Blade here... As now you both know, I'm in the process of deciding to make the move to Earthen Ring... and full-time school plus work leaves me previous little time to play the game, let alone do anything spiffy like running a guild to any great degree. So I bit the proverbial bullet... plus... as I said to Ashayo earlier in the week... someone's gotta help get Aprillian to 70... and ol' Blade is feeling a little altruistic... To that end... I've spent what time I have had in the game this week both learning and being amazed by the new talent trees (which I will get into shortly) and avoiding the major cities like (and because of) the plague... Happy Hallow's End!  Just don't kill the glowing green cockroaches... First... as per usual... a weird and wacky tip... There's an achievement that is listed under the 'Feats of Strength' for those that had pre-existing toons... I'm not sure if it's visible for newer toons, but I'm told that it's still possible to get this achievement... But it's more about the non-combat pet: The Bloodsail Parrot... See... this one's easy... don't do ANY goblin quests (Ratchet, Booty Bay, Winterspring, etc) and avoid any contact with them... that will leave you at Neutral rep with the Goblins and Hated rep with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. From there (yes, you'll have to be at least level 65 to have a hope of getting this accomplished...) open your reputations tab on your character sheet, click on the Booty Bay rep tab and click 'At War' Now kill the goblins in the towns they're in... the bruisers are worth something like 25 reputation each... any civilians are worth 1 rep each. From Hated, you have to push your way all the way to Friendly... not too far... only about 1080 (or was it 1800?) goblin kills or so... Which is why you almost want to plan this in advance... it's another 1300+ f you have to start from the bottom of Hostile. Note:  this is probably NOT advisable if you want to ever a) be an engineer or b) participate in the Sunday Weekly Fishing Extravaganza... so be SURE your mind is made up... Be aware... the bruisers in Booty Bay can net you, they have rifles for ranged attacks if you get too far away from them and they hit like trucks... they can also knock back and stun on occasion... so you're in for a bit of a fight... probably a suicidal mission for any cloth-wearing players out there... I'm sure it's possible... but I'd be prepared for a little bit harder a time if you aren't on the better side of 'elite'... Also (there's more?) when you become 'Hated' with Booty Bay, a bruiser will spawn when you attack a civilian (so I'm told) making that kill THAT much harder... so be especially cautious when taking down civilians... but at 1 rep each, they probably aren't worth the effort anyway... Assuming you have the patience of a proverbial buddhist and manage through sheer force of will to get your reputation with the Bloodsail Buccaneers to Friendly, go and talk to "Pretty Boy" Duncan on the beach outside Booty Bay. He'll give you a quest to talk to Fleet Master Firallon who will give you a task of some difficulty... as if this wasn't difficult enough... Oh well... you've made it THIS far... time to go kill Baron Revilgaz and Master Seahorn (the two Booty Bay 'bosses' above the inn - right next to the Horde flightpath) Assuming you are successful, hit the water swimming, head back to the Fleet Master and he'll give you one of the more rare items in the game: the Bloodsail Admiral's Hat. I'm betting that it will be something of a novelty on just about any server you could play on... mostly because most people aren't insane or simply don't have the time it would take to accomplish this goal... But for those that do... they get a nifty red-and white trimmed admiral's hat with a skull-and-crossbones motif... that lets you summon a non-combat pet! The Bloodsail Parrot! On the topic of insanity... I reworked my hunter's talent tree into the new Beast Mastery tree... and it's got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a while... I beleieve I have heard on more than one occasion the 3.0 patch being referred to affectionately as 'The Hunter Patch'. Some things about the patch are good - Wolftusk's new wasp pet named 'Sikorsky'... and 'Fluffy' the two-headed white Corehound... to add to the stables with my very first-ever pet in the game... Cuddles the (used to be named 'Death Flayer' Durotar scorpid). As a frame of reference, I picked up Death Flayer/Cuddles when the pets all had their own attack speed... he was a rare and valuable pvp one, as he was considered a 'tank' (high high armor) and had poison to stop stealthing rogues... AND had a 1.6 attack speed... faster than some cats (and most other pets) way back then... So be adventurous!  Play with the pet trees... and find a few pets that really suit your style of play... Oh... just one thing... If you DO happen to get yourself a Corehound pet... either outside of or from inside Molten Core.. please please PLEASE dismiss it when you're in a city... there's nothing more irritating than standing at the Auction House and watching your screen shake and tremble as some noob Hunter runs by with his newly acquired Corehound pet... for some reason, the Corehounds shake the ground when they walk... but the T-Rexes don't (and they're easily twice as big)... Ah well... to each their own, I suppose... As always, an awesome podcast guys... Blade
