And in our continuing fascination with the lore of Cyberpunk 2077 we explore one of the troubling Phantom Liberty endings involving V, Songbird and Reed, asking ourselves: was it preem or not preem? If you enjoy the show, pl...

Join us this week as we explore if the Azerothian Archives should become a replacement for the dated Archaeology profession in WoW, how old you need to be start getting cyber implants, and if Spider-Man and Madame Web had a conversation, what would they talk about?

Join us this week as we explore which tech-based based stories in WoW could go full Cyberpunk 2077, how each Starcraft faction would fare against their counterpart in Warhammer 40k, and if the war in Warcraft is honing Azeroth into the ultimate weapon (which would be hunter loot, obviously.)

Join us this week as we explore an alternate version of Azeroth’s history where Sargeras didn’t betray the Pantheon, but instead became a champion of the Light. From the elves never existing to the Horde never forming to the Dark Portal to Draenor never opening to a massive confrontation with Zovaal in the Shadowlands by a Titan-led army of Light, the implications are, needless to say, wild. If yo...

Join us this week as we discuss Calia Menethil’s dilemma about her role in the future of Lordaeron, the difference between Wild Gods, Titan Watchers, and Titans in WoW, and who would make a better fixer in Cyberpunk 2077, Joe “I just hope everyone had a good time” Perez or Matt “I don’t play well with others” Rossi.

Join us this week as we discuss the origins of hearthstones and their connection to Meeting Stones as well as the Brokers, if there is a way to wield the void without being corrupted by it (asking for a friend), and the mystery of Northern Lordaeron, the unexplored region between Ghostlands and Western Plaguelands that may get the spotlight in the upcoming Midnight expansion. If you enjoy the show...

Join us this week as we go on a wilder tangent than usual (and that’s saying a lot) about the connection between the Forsaken and Death Knights through pain and suffering and how that could be Azeroth’s own perpetual energy source (because science!)

Join us this week as we explore the future of Gnomeregan. Can it get the reclamation that is coming to Gilneas in patch 10.2.5? We also talk about how deep and wide the roots of the World Tree go.

Join us this week as we, per usual, take a simple, innocent question and use it to wildly speculate about its implications to WoW’s lore! In this case, we take the information presented in The War Within’s BlizzCon cinematic and connect it to (deep breath) a fifth old god, the titans, the Naaru Colossal, life and void lords, what Elune is, the pantheon of death, the big lightbulb in Hallowfall, th...
