Professions Good, Layoffs Bad

Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to talk about everything going on in World of Warcraft! First, Rei talks about doing some Horde timewalking, and the struggles of getting a Horde character who skipped BfA to Boralus. She also mentions getting chewed out for healing in an M+ dungeon, and shares some thoughts on the Arcantina.

Eric talks about defeating Heroic Lu’ra and shares his dislike for Al’gethar Academy.

Kura talks about his experiences healing in dungeons and running keys and timewalking. Rei brings up the struggles with guild recruitment this expansion. Kura also mentions that he was able to pre-order the replica CD.

Nick talks about some tips he recently learned to make professions more lucrative. He also complains more about delves after running several last week.

Next, the gang talks about the news of the Microsoft layoffs, as Nick and Kurabara lament the state of the industry.

Finally, they take a quick look back at episode #221 and get distracted by Eric using Mike Myers in his artwork.
