Games come and games go, some fast and some slow. This is Grinding Gear podcast where we discuss all the industry happenings, along with our own retro journey. Sony Pulls back from games on PC. Resident Evil 9 sold well, but lacks cultural splash. Highguard announces final update. Crimson Desert hype is building? Pokopia crits player desires. We've been playing Arc Raiders, RE1, Minecraft, FF14 and Deadlock.
We love answering your questions, especially when it lets us don our tinfoil hat. Our first question this week was relatively straightforward: If you were to run a WoW TTRPG for a Horde campaign and an Alliance campaign, what would it be? With three hosts, there were six varied answers. We move from there to conflict among the Titans, and why some all-powerful beings might clash. Speaking of all-powerful, then we talk about the counterplay of the Light and the Void -- and the Naaru. Part of it is how the two forces interact, based on some of the earlier vignettes from the first few expansions of WoW. And how do all those forces relate to another magic force we've seen coursing inherently through all creatures through a few different expansions: Anima?It is a tin foil hat good time on this week's Lore Watch.If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

We thank our listeners and patrons for giving us another round of great questions, which we summarily answered and used as a diving board directly into the deep end of tin foil hat theories and speculation. First, who was the elf Xal'atath is currently using for a body? While we do have a pithy answer to this identity courtesy of a particular quest line, there's also a broader lore implication in terms of who this poor erstwhile High Elf once was. Another listener wanted to know what kind of humanoid form Azeroth will have, and specifically suggests it may be a Troll. Trolls were one of the progenitor races of Azeroth, so is it possible they were formed in her likeness? This leads us into a discussion of the races of Azeroth and how they may have evolved over the centuries -- and who may have been pressing a thumb on that evolutionary scale.If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

As we ride off into the sunset we remember all the amazing times that brought us to this moment. Were we the best podcast? Certainly not. Were we the most informative? Definitely not. But did we have fun and refuse to take this silly story we love too seriously and share in the joy that is Warcraft Lore? Definitely. We held the title of silliest Warcraft podcast for over sis years. Thank you for listening, and we'll see you in Azeroth!
Blizzard's creative exec reportedly said "I wish we hadn't called it Warcraft," because now current leadership feels constrained by the WAR in Warcraft. It feels like they want to turn it into Roblox or a cozy game. WoW players are furious.

Is it a screaming, desiccated dust child? Or a rainbow butterfly mount? Or is it – surprise – both, and everything in between? Tali and Evi dive into the continuing discourse around what WoW is, what it was, and what it should be. And they have some fun along the way, as always. Join us for another episode of a WoW Podcast, Obviously!
Our readers dutifully sent in questions, and our three hosts -- Joe, Matt, and Eric -- gave them all the answers they could want, and more. They start off with a discussion on the music of WoW, spurred by the inclusion of Player Housing decor, and how Taurens all got drums. It evolves from there, to discuss how the themes present within in-game music mirror real life music characteristics. Then, they pivot to more Void vs Light in a continuation from last week, and how those forces might shape both the world we play in, and Anduin and how his characterization may continue forward. The last question involves the discussion of source influences on WoW, from Arthurian Legend through Tolkien, and then we come back to music. However, now the topic is basically the soundtrack to Stranger Things.If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

In our 60th (!) episode of the podcast, Tali and Evi review some of the last-minute changes being pushed before Midnight launches in just a few weeks. There's also some discussion around the now-infamous Game Business Podcast with Holly Longdale and Ion Hazzikostas, the future of Warcraft as an IP and its audiences, and a quick look at the Midnight Collector's Edition. This episode contains some swearing, FYI. Sorry not sorry!
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a series on 1985's Ultima IV.

As we make our way into the Midnight prepatch and beyond, Matt, Joe, and Eric take the opportunity to recap the lore of The War Within. In case you missed it -- or maybe missed some of the signs leading up to it, or through it -- we have the story. It starts with a literal bang, and the destruction of Dalaran. The implications of that, from how it affects the plot all the way to how it affects the way the writers can shape the story forward, set the stage for all the The War Within, and perhaps beyond as we make our way back into Silvermoon City in Midnight, and then Northrend in The Last Titan. We'll talk about the hijinks of Xal'atath, and why the heck we ended up in Undermine, anyway.All those detours and more on this episode of Lore Watch!If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Fan Fest will be here before we know it and the Roundtable shall return. Supportourbromance.com or Alphinaud will just stand there in 8.0.
Sean and Lex carry on without Manny this week. Lex looks back at Warcraft 1, and the evolution of Warcraft's story telling. The duo gives first impressions of the new reality in the pre-launch patch of Midnight, including transmog trauma, having their UI usurped, and housing endeavors.
