Podcasts about World of Warcraft

Ghosts of K'aresh, the upcoming content update for World of Warcraft, is the lead news for the show this week, because it was announced with a ton of detail the day after the podcast was recorded last week. Led by this week's host Joe, our crew discussed all things patch 11.2, from Tazavesh to Manaforge Omega, and where the story might lead us next. Speaking of the story, Overwatch 2 season 17 just began, and we have some thoughts, mostly related to story content and how there really isn't any.Plus, if you have $158, or even more Canadian dollarydoos, you could totally buy the most adorable, most infuriatingly monetized lil guy we've ever seen in Hearthstone.

Synonymous with gaming Alienware rode the wave of easy to use and beautiful gaming computers. Now they are the G.O.A.T. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Pinpoint Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here with Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. This is The Empire Builders Podcast. You tuned in because you wanted to hear us talk about empires, right? Stephen Semple: I hope that's why they tuned in. Dave Young: I mean, I'm assuming that's why you... Stephen Semple: Either that, or you're in the wrong place. But still, stay with us, you might like it. Dave Young: If you're expecting steamy ghost stories, this is not your podcast. Stephen Semple: Oh, there goes half our audience. Dave Young: That's all right. "Choose who to lose," that's what we always say. People that are interested in steamy, ghost stories, this is not it. Stephen Semple: But. Dave Young: Aliens. Stephen Semple: Aliens? Dave Young: Maybe. Maybe- Stephen Semple: Maybe. Dave Young: ... I'm saying. Maybe. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe. Dave Young: Because today's topic, Stephen told me we're going to talk about Alienware, as an empire. And I know them because I remember, back in the day, one of my kids insisting that that was the only computer that would allow them to play World of Warcraft in any kind of successful fashion. Does that sound right? Stephen Semple: Yep. That would be pretty accurate. Did you end up buying an Alienware computer? Dave Young: Probably. I don't know. Dad was just the checkbook. Stephen Semple: Well, we're going to talk about Alienware, but even before we go into Alienware, I want to take a little bit of a detour, because it actually speaks to Alienware. Is, one of the things that Alienware was really good at recognizing, was things going on in the world. And you know how we often talk about tapping into what's happening out there, and the emotions that's happening out there, and looking outside of your world. I had a really interesting conversation this weekend with Bob Camp. Now, Bob Camp is the co-creator of Ren and Stimpy. Dave Young: Okay, yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Now, if you remember, remember back at the Slinky episode? Remember when we covered Slinky? Dave Young: We talked about Log. Stephen Semple: And we talked about Log. Well, as it turns out, Dave, you are completely right. Bob Camp told me that the whole thing Log, was actually completely inspired by Slinky. Dave Young: Oh, yeah, I was just, yeah. Stephen Semple: And here's what happened. It was in the very first episode of Ren and Stimpy, and they had produced it, and they suddenly realized just before it was about to go on air, they were a minute short. And he was like, "How do we come up a minute fricking short?" So that night he decided, "I got to come up with a minute of content." And what he decide to do is create a commercial. He thought. "Let's start the commercial." So the very first Ren and Stimpy episode started with that commercial Log, and he very specifically wanted to tie into something that was a shared experience, that had a positive emotional context, and that he could kind of have some fun with. But it was that whole looking outside the world, and that's how he came up with Log. Yeah. Dave Young: Nice. Stephen Semple: When I come see you in Austin, people can't see this podcast,

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we start a new game in our series on independent games with 2004's Cave Story. We briefly set the game in its time, talk a little about its developer, and then talk about the game proper. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: A couple of hours Issues covered: freeware vs democratized indie dev and publishing, Japanese independent development, an indie darling, likely antecedents, 2004 in review, the end of a cycle, standing out in a stacked year, sticking it out, breaking through onto Nintendo platforms, early independent success on the Switch platform, influences and what's in the mix, weapon leveling, more story than expected, characters and dialog, more adventure, having a mess of villagers, setting up mysteries, merging lots of elements into their story and interactions, a spike at the end, adding puzzle-y elements, keys and keys that are not keys, threads of characters and relationships, something that is more than a MetroidVania, a skill-based game, "you're a really good person," forgetting a console came out, having the opportunity to play off-the-beaten path games, not needing a map, the dangers of categorization, how the platforming feels, fear of skill-based need, becoming one with the controller, an emotional response, empathetic response, catharsis, building the dam and breaking it, graceful building, manipulation in art, can a movie version work vs the interactivity, shock in literary fiction.

Eímear Noone prägte den Sound zahlreicher Videospiele und war die erste Frau, die bei den Oscars dirigierte. Mit ihrem Engagement hat die Irin nicht nur die Anerkennung von Videospielmusik als ernstzunehmendes Genre gefördert, sondern auch den Weg für andere Frauen in diesem Bereich geebnet. Sie gilt als «Queen of Video Game Music», die irische Dirigentin und Komponistin Eímear Noone (*1977). Eímear Noone komponierte die Musik zu Game-Klassikern wie «World of Warcraft» und war eine der ersten, die Videospielmusik in den Konzertsaal gebracht haben. Spielerisch bewegt sie sich zwischen Klassik, Fantasy und Filmmusik: Ihre Musik ist episch, gross, emotional; geprägt von klassischer Musik und irischer Volksmusik. Wir folgen Eímear Noones Weg von einem kleinen irischen Dorf bis nach Hollywood und fragen: Warum ist gerade Game-Musik heute ein Labor für orchestrale Zukunftsklänge?

Today, we talkin' about Ashvalor.You ever load up a game and instantly regret being alive? That's Ashvalor, baby. You play as Nazra — prophecy baby, shadow slayer, PTSD in boots. And she don't even got time to breathe — the goblins spawnin' like it's Black Friday at the evil mall. The game drops you in a haunted forest with nothing but vibes and violence. No autosave. No mercy. Your tab crashes? That's canon. You lose progress? That's just trauma XP.I reached Level 3 while eating pizza and defending my life like I was on a budget version of World of Warcraft. Goblins came at me like debt collectors. I had 130 HP outta 240 and still held my ground like a legend.

The new Lorewalking feature in World of Warcraft is one we can use to explore more moments from the game we haven't seen, or explore the ones we have seen more in-depth. A listener wrote in and asked Matt and Joe which other points of lore they'd like to see show up in Lorewalking later, so of course, the entire hour is devoted to answering that question. From the huge, earth-shaking moments involving the Titans, to the old events leading to the current ones with the lineage of humans, all the way to long-forgotten quests, there are a lot of story beats they'd love to experience from a new angle.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

FINALLY Dastardly Duos is here and ALL the content of World of Warcraft the War Within patch 11.1.5 is playable! Oh wait, what's that? It's not all playable yet? Oh.

Who would have thought that the hosts of the Lore Watch Podcast would be excited to talk about the new Lorewalking feature coming to World of Warcraft? The episode goes through the scenarios in detail, so if you'd prefer to have your Lorewalking experience as unspoiled as your own recollection of past events, note that they discuss everything about them at length. Part of that discussion also includes the implications of why we might be visiting these particular points in the lore -- Arthas, the Ethereals, and Xal'atath's backstory -- as we chase Xal'atath to the end of this narrative arc's conclusion.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Praises or critics can be send here! Also if there's anything you wish to hear about please send your requests here!The long-standing divide between PvP and PvE content in World of Warcraft creates a troubling imbalance that leaves competitive players feeling overlooked and undervalued. This midweek episode dives deep into the systemic problems facing WoW's PvP scene, particularly the outdated rating system that paradoxically punishes players as they improve. With significantly reduced MMR injection compared to previous years, even skilled veterans watch their ratings plummet despite playing better than ever.What makes this situation particularly frustrating is watching other competitive formats like Solo Shuffle receive proper attention while arena players are left behind. The stark contrast becomes even more apparent when you consider content creation – PvE enthusiasts enjoy new raids with every major patch, while PvP players might receive one or two arena maps across an entire expansion cycle. This systematic neglect demands greater community awareness and developer communication.The episode also explores fascinating player suggestions, including the possibility of unlocking Challenge Mode rewards from Mists of Pandaria Classic in retail WoW. Items like the stunning Cloudsong Glaive remain some of the most sought-after transmogs in the game's history, and creating a path to earn them through challenging Classic content could bridge the gap between WoW's past and present. We also dissect the flawed concept of a hypothetical "WoW 2" and why abandoning two decades of continuous development makes little sense for an evolving MMO. Whether you're a dedicated PvPer feeling forgotten or simply interested in the game's development philosophy, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on where World of Warcraft has been and where it should go next. Hope you all enjoy and hope you relate to any of these stories.

This week's Lore Watch is based on a listener question, which mashes together two of Joe and Matt's favorite topics: Azeroth and Dungeons and Dragons. Specifically, this episode goes through doing just that: how they would play their way through a World of Warcraft-themed D&D campaign. They discuss their picks for the best tabletop system to play their way through a potential Azeroth-themed adventure, and then dive deep to discuss which small corner of Azeroth's history -- from setting to characters -- they'd like to experience in tabletop form.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
