Is Chris Metzen’s return to Blizzard good for WoW?
Join us as we discuss the surprising news that Blizzard OG Chris Metzen is returning to the company to oversee the Warcraft universe. Will he drag WoW back to what it was or push it forward into the new territories it's been exploring in the last few expansions? Also, how the recent controversial decisions by Unity may affect Hearthstone which uses the game engine, our enjoyment of the Turbulent Timeways events in WoW, and what games reinvented themselves successfully…and which did not.

Our love/hate relationship with Diablo
Join us as we discuss how Diablo Immortal is the Diablo MMO we all wanted if it weren’t for the monetization and rapid seasons rollouts, how Hearthstone’s latest mini-set release is really just The Great Muppet Caper with Yogg-Saron (and we mean that in the best way possible), and how Wrath Classic’s new Titan Rune dungeons could have been the template for how WoW was developed. Plus, our favorite gaming snacks.
