Join us this week as we delve deeply into the idea that Azeroth's races may be programmed to protect the planet by the Titans and if they fail, the Titans will reset the world and let it play out all over again. Plus, the possible impact of non-druid classes entering the Emerald Dream.

Nov 22, 2023

Join us this week as we delve into the newly introduced story of the first World Tree, Elun’Ahir.

Nov 15, 2023

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, the Arathi, the Nerubians, Xal’atath, how the universe is ordered, and, most importantly, was the Jailer right?

Nov 8, 2023

Join us this week as we delve into what we know about the story in the upcoming WoW expansions The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan. To no one’s surprise, the discussion pretty much goes off the rails in record time.

Oct 25, 2023

Oct 11, 2023

Oct 4, 2023

Join us this week as we explore lore of the titan facility in the Dragon Isles, Tyrhold, how WoW could be more alt friendly, and the anatomy of angels in the Diablo universe.

Sep 27, 2023

Join us this week as we explore who’s left from Warcraft’s far past that can still threaten all of Azeroth in a future expansion. And has the new Black Dragon Aspect heralded a new Hour of Twilight apocalypse on the horizon?

Sep 20, 2023

Join us this week as we explore the histories of the world trees in WoW, including Teldrassil and Nordrassil. Plus, is Azshara the avatar of the soul of Azeroth?

Sep 13, 2023

Join us this week as we explore the hints and story elements in Dragonflight that might be setting up the return of the Old Gods. Also, we talk about the key moments in Garrosh Hellscream’s evolution from honorable Warchief to brutal megalomaniac to unrepentant soul in the Revendreth.

Aug 30, 2023

Join us this week as we wildly speculate about whether or not dragons can produce offspring post-Cataclysm, the nuances of summoning for caster classes, and if there is only one Legion across all timelines or multiple alternate Legions.

Aug 23, 2023

Join us this week as we discuss many of the unknown questions around Diablo lore including how Lilith is a different kind of demon. Also, more importantly, we give fashion advice for your Cyberpunk/Shadowrun character.

Aug 16, 2023

Join us this week as we discuss the lore and story of Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 and how they feed into Baldur’s Gate 3.

Aug 2, 2023

Join us this week as we discuss what we know of the Lost City of Ureh in Diablo 4, the secret of Aberrus in WoW, and what is the best way to catch up on current WoW lore.

Jul 26, 2023

Join us this week as we tinfoil hat our way through an exploration of not only why the Titans in World of Warcraft chose our particular troubled timeline to tinker with, but what other tideways could be out there.

Jul 19, 2023

Join us this week as we wildly speculate about the possible fates of our Diablo 3 characters, if the Tree of Whispers could be the soul of an imperfect world (!!), and just what exactly is that Zoltun Kulle guy up to these days? Heavy spoilers throughout!

Jun 28, 2023

Join us this week as we explore the final act of the Diablo campaign followed by a lot of wild speculation. I mean, A LOT a lot. Can’t really get into it here without giving away the story so hit the play button and enjoy the ride. Heavy spoilers throughout!

Jun 21, 2023

Join us this week as we explore Acts 4 & 5 of the Diablo 4 campaign including the fate of Elias, the surprisingly forthright Tree of Whispers, and the role of Hatred throughout the Diablo franchise — which we've seen expressed in the Zakarum church that Mephisto corrupted and even the Cathedral of Light that Inarius founded. Heavy spoilers throughout.

Jun 14, 2023

Join us this week as we continue to explore the lore of Diablo 4, specifically Act 2 and 3 including the Cathedral of Light's impact on Scosglen, Lilith's goals (and how she manipulates people to achieve them), the continuing theme of blood magic in the game, and how the story really starts to get rolling towards the end of Act 3. Needless to say, heavy spoilers throughout.

May 24, 2023

Join us this week as we explore how the new warlock races fit into the game lore, who is the child of Mephisto mentioned in the Diablo 4 Book of Lorath series, and how titans, Azeroth, and other planes of existence all fit together.

Apr 19, 2023

Join us this week as we explore what another Warlords of Draenor-style expansion from WoW could look like, the black dragonflight lore tidbits dropped by Voraxian and Veritistrasz at the Ruby Life Pools, and how exactly does Azeroth’s postal system know where to find you no matter what?

Apr 4, 2023

Join us this week as we wildly speculate about the Infinite Dragonflight including what created them, if they are even real, and how Chromie may fit into all of this. And yes, we just made “tinfoil hat” into a verb. You’re welcome.
