  • 22. The Sistine Chapel of Storytelling

    01:04:28||Ep. 22
    We talk about why we're not angry, we're disappointed, when it comes to Warcraft 3: Reforged – but how the issues with the remake don't mean it's a terrible game. And how we hope there's light somewhere at the end of the tunnel. And speaking of tunnels, how about that coronavirus? It comes up not once, not twice, but in THREE different aspects of Blizzard news this week.Plus somehow we talk way too much about the movie Outbreak. Kosta seems to really, really love it.Check out Kosta's Warcraft 3: Reforged review here:https://www.ausgamers.com/games/warcraft-3-reforged/review/Find Kosta via @toadovskyFind Seamus via @seamusFind all things Byteside here.

  • 19. Whose Race To World First?

    01:08:14||Ep. 19
    Dave Jansen stops by to dive deep on 8.2 and the state of the raiding scene just as Mythic Eternal Palace gets set to drop. With a fresh Race To World First kicking off, we look at the controversy around Method and Red Bull falling out, wanting to see more guilds being involved, and what we hope the right way to run this all might be.Plus we enter a big old rabbit hole around the lore of the expansion and where we think, and where we hope, things will take us as we head toward the next expansion.Find more of Dave's stuff at his Twitch channel: twitch.tv/lactvFind Seamus on Twitter: @seamusFind past episodes and all the rest of the Byteside network over at byteside.com
