This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe answer a couple of reader-submitted questions and get sidetracked on some dizzying discussions about the Old Gods and the future of Azeroth. What’s going on in that Chromie scenario? Are Xal’atath and Xal’atoh linked somehow? And where does Bolvar fit into the equation? All this and more on this week’s episode!
For Patrons, we're happy to give you access to the episode before everyone else - enjoy it 2017-07-16 22:21:20 +0000 UTC

Happy holiday, part 2! As you might expect, the Fourth of July wasn't a big news day, but we do have one juicy teaser for Overwatch fans: an article from the Times of Numbani about Doomfist. While there are no details on the hero himself, these teases suggest we'll get something solid soon, so stay tuned.
And, of course, don't forget that the last batch ...

Happy holiday week (or long weekend for those of you who had the third off), Blizzard Watchers! Though we expected a quiet Monday before the Independence Day holiday down in the US, Blizzard surprised us with a good bit of news. Honestly, who's even in the office today? Apparently the Heroes and Diablo teams, at least.
Let's take a look at what's up in the world of Blizzard.

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt and Joe jump right into talking about the patch 7.3 PTR. Needless to say, this episode is chock full of spoilers for 7.3 PTR content. If you’re avoiding spoilers, you’ll want to skip this episode. If, on the other hand, you’re dying to hear our thoughts about what’s next for World of Warcraft, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

One of my biggest loves when it comes to Legion is just how much story it has. Threads from earlier expansions and the original Warcraft games are picked up and run with, old friends and enemies make return appearances. It’s a fascinating example of using a new feature (the class Order Halls) to tell new stories that might not have been in the game otherwise, and, moreover, to tell targeted stories for specific classes — which means Legion

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt and Joe talk about Azeroth's newest raid, The Tomb of Sargeras. From its origins as the Temple of Elune to the final resting place of the Avatar of Sargeras, its history has been fairly well documented - but that doesn't necessarily mean that we've uncovered all of its secrets.

Right now, it's fair to say that there isn't a single Blizzard game that doesn't at the least contain a strong multiplayer component. Diablo 3 is probably the closest we get to a single-player experience from the studio, and even that has multiplayer as a component and it's fair to say that being able to play with your friends in Diablo is part of the whole reason that ...

No, because that's just too final. Instead we'll just hope to see Brian Holinka again in some awesome future game.

The facts are simple. World of Warcraft is the ultimate fulfillment of an MMO design paradigm that began back with AOL and Steve Case, if not all the way back to Essex MUD. Games like Ultima Online and EverQuest have championed and used this basic design scheme, but it was in World of Warcraft that we saw the tank/healer/DPS triumvi...

I feel like I should open this post with what Michael Chu said.
What did Morrison call it when he ran out of eggs for breakfast?
The Omelette Crisis.
I just want to make sure you understand that Overwatch's Lead Writer wrote that joke. That's right -- Michael Chu himself, the man, the myth, the mind behind the ...
