Total Pebble Knockdown

We recreate our corpse run to the Dark Portal with drastically different results. Then, we take the time to explore some of Outland and the areas of the Burning Crusades that we previously didn't see.

It's time to return to our old stomping grounds. We begin at Thunder Bluff, head through the Barrens, visit Thousand Needles, stop off at Gadgetzan and take a tour of Orgrimmar. How have these places been affected after 20 years?

It's time to save the centaurs, meet some walruses, feed some hippos and learn a valuable lesson about reading mysterious scrolls.

We have now entered centaur country. Time to do some hunting. Also, we protect some eggs... unsuccessfully.

The dragons are fighting... and we have to help them. We head into our very first dungeon raid. We storm the castle. We mispronounce names some more. Also, falling from great heights.

It's a song of ice and fire as we head into lava flows and frozen tundras. We also meet a bunch of dragons, help them with their eggs and learn how to fly the Warcraft skies!

Now on the Dragon Isles, it's time to get acquainted with our surroundings, meet the locals, save the wildlife and look at the map of WoW as it stands today.

We stepped into the portal and were transported to modern World of Warcraft. Now we have to make our characters, go on a new quest, travel to the Dragon Isles, learn how the mechanics of the game work and choose our specialization. Nathan gets whiplash experiencing the change from Classic to Modern as we begin the next leg of our adventure.

Somehow, we got our hands on a PACS beta. And so, Psitanium, ExpLimited and Craeveyard brave the post-apocalypse to deliver packages.

Silvermoon, Stranglethorn Vale, Duskwood, Swamp of Sorrows, many corpse runs and the portal at the end of Part 1.

We approach the end of the journey. Time to do some sight-seeing! Thousand Needles, Shimmering Flats, Gadgetzan, the flyover areas and, finally, The Undercity.

The Wailing Cavern, finally getting to Orgrimmar, discussion on modern WoW, talking about Final Fantasy 13-2 for some reason.

Nathan-Bear fails at being a bear. Alex wonders if he should do his shaman quest. We wander into Durotar. Nathan discusses the differences between WOW and The Old Republic.

Nathan goes on a Druid spirit quest into Moonglade, looks for a ghost bear, visits some flyover areas and fights a big owl. Sidequest time!

Some change of scenery... several actually. We head into the Barrens, explore the oasis, explore the town of Ratchet, fight some pirates and steal the centaur's booty.

Time to level up to 10, so we can unlock new features. Also, Nathan may be picking up a few hobbies for his journey going forward. And we spend a little more time in Thunder Bluff, finally.

We start to get into the main game loop of World of Warcraft, which is to say, we start to play an MMO. Will our taurens survive the wilds of Azeroth or do continuous corpse runs back to their fallen bodie

After 20 years, Nathan has returned to the world of Azeroth in a series that will live in infamy. Nathan and Alex begin part 1 of a 3-part series with a trip back to World of Warcraft Classic, specifically Burning Crusades as it is the closest version to what he would remember from playing so many years ago. Will his return to the classic MMORPG prove to be a pleasant stroll down memory lane or a...

Have you ever played a game, absolutely hated it, but then found yourself thinking about it years later? On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown, We dive deep into the world of "second chances" in gaming, and exploring why we feel compelled to go back to titles that didn’t click the first time. From a 15-year journey in Dark Souls, to the rocky evolution of Fallout 76. We discuss how a specific...

We're going to a traditional liminal space game, trying out the demo for the recently released Back*Space. Nathan made Alex play this one to see how it stacked up to the many other liminal games he has played and ask if it would sell him on the full game.

Time to speed run a shopping trip to Ike... uh, Generic Swedish Furniture Store. Alex and Nathan take a trip through Last Minute Shopping, a free game on Steam that explores a somewhat liminal space for a much different reason than the Backrooms or Pools... because this time we have to navigate a department store.

We face our final challenge, Titus' story concludes and we debrief on what we have taken from the game.

We descend deeper, both narratively and literally, as the conclusion to Titus' story looms overhead...

Let's get a big ship to pull a Holdo.

Giant mechs and space dragons.
