Blizzard Watch Podcast Uncut: More new Midnight info from Gamescom (which ended a month ago)
Added 2025-09-11 20:24:47 +0000 UTCThe Blizzard Watch Podcast preshow was a D&D smorgasbord this week. In addition to our usual D&D enthusiasm, Matt is DMing a for-fun house game for some of the crew, and wanted to discuss it. Liz and Matt have been watching Murderbot, and discussed why the show feels so different from the book. Liz's theory is that the titular Murderbot in the book is an unreliable, or at least biased narrator, and that's why the tone differs, which is a very interesting thing to contemplate. If you don't want your mind blown and would rather skip the preshow, you can forward to 28:14.
This week our writer Christian Thoma joined the mayhem that is the Blizzard Watch Podcast. Speaking of mayhem and the Blizzard Watch Podcast, you may recall that last week's episode ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, as the hosts discovered that, while they were recording the podcast, Blizzard released 14 blog posts detailing all the announcements that happened at Gamescom. This week, they discussed the highlights of all those posts, which made matters even more confusing as they contradicted some other interviews and information that came out right around the same time.
Plus, another week, another new microtransaction most of us hate -- you can get a new cute capybara pet in WoW for spending a mere $75 on the Blizzard Gear Store (on specific items).
Also, have you heard of a small indie game called Silksong?
We hope you enjoy this week's show. Thanks as always for your support.
