The massively popular video game series finally got its very faithful movie adaptation in 2016. Unfortunately for the fans, the movie failed to bring in enough at the box office to greenlight a sequel. This week we revisit this one off effort and determine what it got right! We also ponder the finer differences between orcs and ogres.Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/botrcast Email: bestoftherestpod@gmail.com Social Media @BotRCast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Bonus content: Youtube Theme song (vocals) by Mark Benavides: Instagram Music by Mitch: BlueSky, SoundCloud Logo by Alex Brinegar: https://itsdesignthyme.com/ Additional artwork by Phillip Chacon, C7Productions: Instagram

Creator marketing is a huge part of Blizzard Entertainment's strategy. As the developer of properties with global appeal, such as World of Warcraft, Overwatch and Diablo, it has no trouble finding fans in all corners of the world, including basketball player Luka Dončić, who plays at one of the highest possible ranks in Overwatch. CMO Monica Austin discusses a recent partnership with Dončić, plus why Blizzard sees value in partnering with creators who are vocal critics of its work. She also discusses balancing Blizzard's global marketing strategy with region-specific campaigns.

Ready for action! This episode, "Where the Magic Happens", is all about small sound cues, how our brain processes them, and how a specific genre, and series, makes the most of them. This is the kind of show you can listen to out of order, but I'd recommend listening to the first episode at some point. It explains why this podcast exists, and was a lot of fun to make.   And if you end up buying Warcraft 3 because of this episode, be warned: the current remastered version (Reforged) changed the audiovisuals for the worse, but luckily, player feedback got them to add classic graphics and more importantly, a classic sounds toggle. Switch those on, it really does make a difference.

The tubes are on fire. Or maybe they have been for a month. In a massive conspiracy turned reality, YouTubers found that they're views have dropped by half in the month of August due to YouTube's new features. Indie games don't know how to price themselves in the wake of Silksong's release. We got the Yoshi P interview round up covering all the teases and perhaps walkbacks on the upcoming job update. Blizzard continues to C&D classic plus private servers. Hollow Knight, Expedition 33 and more.  Supportourbromance.com if you're a player who likes change, but also for everything to remain the same, with exciting changes on the horizon.
