Staying Classy with the Training Dummies
Rob and Darryl of The Training Dummies join us to talk about Class Hall lore!...
Happy 2018! Nick and Katie are back to talk about their wishes for the Warcraft universe in the new year. But first, Katie has some exciting news as she sent in a patch for Blizzard’s quilt and sweater for the orc statue, and her patch is on the wolf part of the statue in Irvine! Congratulations, Katie! She also found a collector’s edition of Wrath of the Lich King which she is excited to open as well.
In other news, Nick was recently on The Training Dummies to talk about Death Knights. Check it out!
Finally, Nick and Katie go over what they want to see for several of the main Warcraft characters this year. First though, Nick establishes a rule that they can’t talk about Sylvanas for more than two minutes, because otherwise the show winds up becoming all about her. First, they talk about Anduin and look at his growth over the last year and how he went from accepting his role as King to leading the Alliance against the Undercity in Battle for Azeroth. Then, they talk about Sylvanas, and how she struggles with her dampened emotions as well as having to balance ruling directly over Orgrimmar and Undercity.
Katie still doesn’t like Genn, but Nick hopes that he can reach a place of reason. Nick points out that we haven’t seen Jaina, and therefore, we don’t know what state she will return in, but it can’t be good for her to be put in a position where she is going to be interacting with the Horde after her expansion long self-imposed exile. Katie still wants to see more Gallywix. Khadgar needs to just go and stay out of Battle for Azeroth, as he’s become too close to members of both factions and should remain neutral. Wrathion needs to explain why he didn’t appear during Legion despite him warning us about the impending invasion back during Mists of Pandaria.
Alleria and Turalyon deserve the time to not worry about conflict and instead explore the world they left so long ago. Illidan needs to work out his demons (literally) by fighting Sargeras unendingly. Sargeras needs to learn that he can work with the Titans to stop the Void Lords. Azeroth can hopefully recover from her wounds and communciate with us a level of understanding. Tyrande and Malfurion need to find somewhere nice for the Night Elves to settle in Kalimdor. Finally, Vol’jin should haunt Jaina as her Horde-friendly conscience to make things right.
Thank you for listening to The Tauren & the Goblin #34. Reach out to us with any questions at taurengoblin@mashthosebuttons. Happy New Year!

Host of WoW! Talk! and The Tauren & The Goblin. Sometimes known as the Video Games Public Defender. Wants to play more Destiny and Marvel Heroes but WoW is all-consuming. Decent F2P Hearthstone player. Sad that he lost the Wii that had Wrecking Crew on it. Would be happy if the only game ever made was M.U.L.E. Gragtharr on Skywall-US. Garresque on Ravencrest-US.
