Pre-Blizzcon Hype, M+ Struggles, and Our Broke Butts
Its an uphill struggle to find a good tank for M+, but its all downhill to BLIZZCON!...
Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are TOGETHER at Blizzcon 2026 to share their thoughts on all the wild announcements! Also, Chip from Squad Goals and Wondrous Tales and friend of the show Whitney join them for their instant reactions to the Heroes of the Storm, Diablo, Starcraft, Overwatch, and Hearthstone news.
They also talk about some of the Patch 12.2 Eclipse information and react to the Last Titan teaser. Then they try to work through their thoughts on Warcraft Forever and the concept of Classic+. Finally, they discuss Blizzcon itself and all the time they spent in line. They might still be in line, actually.
Also, listen to find out how to enter for a chance to win a Warcraft Forever Collection! This includes Warcraft III: Reforged and the Forsaken Kingdom expansion! World of Warcraft Forever launches Nov. 4, 2026! #wow_partner

Hosts
Nick Zielenkievicz
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.
Rei Liou
Rei is the 1 of the 5 SEELE members and the Ops Director at MTB. She enjoys anime, baking, cooking, gaming ( fighting, puzzle, rhythm, RPGs ), and spending WAY too much time working on spreadsheets. Current Games: Tales of Crestoria, WoW
Eric Knutson
Auto mechanic, car enthusiast, gamer, runner and almost never serious, Eric has been ditching responsibilities and gaming since age 7. His favorite genres are FPS and racing, although most of his game time is currently spent on WoW
