I’m one of the 3 1/2 people who’ve never played WoW (waving at MJ). Your description of Shadowlands launch day sounds about as appealing to me as Black Friday at a bad neighborhood Walmart. Thank you for validating my life choice to forego WoW.

Always chasing that perfect fit MMO high.
I’m right with you there Justin about not liking when people try to get around taken names by using symbols. The worst part is when you want to type their name out for any reason such as for a group invite.

Every stretch before a Guild Wars 2 expansion suffers from that content issue sadly.
Also, I too am just ready for the expansion at this point.

Thanks for the podcast!
Thanks Justin for filling in Bree’s “Later everybody” signoff at the end there!
My dad once told me that “i hate ducks”, actually he sang it multiple times over the course of years of my childhood though upper middle school.
Nevertheless, there’s the following. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
What no Bree rants? I feel cheated!!!!!
But seriously its great to have her back! But, having Chris was awesome too, i loved his short amount of time on the podcast. He did have huge shoes to fill, and did a great job of filling in.
Agreed, Chris is a natural
