About this episode

The podcast discusses first impressions of WoW's Midnight expansion and features a guest discussing Diablo 4.

Midnight  released last week, so this week our podcast crew shared their first impressions of the expansion. While most of their experiences have been positive, there were a few small points where things didn't quite gel the way they wish they would. Of course, nearly everyone's highlight of the expansion thus far is how almost every NPC tells Turalyon to shut his cake hole, but the storytelling and questing has been a blast, even if we can't get into the Vault yet. Less exciting was the first true set of Hearthsteel bundles to hit the battle.net shop, including a beautiful tree. We're salty about the pricing aspect, but have to admit it's a pretty nice tree. Our special guest host this week, columnist Chris Chesno, was on hand to discuss the new  Diablo 4  Paladin, which has a trial coming up this week. Plus, oh yeah, there's a  Hearthstone  expansion releasing next week. If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.
