Cyberpunk Edgerunners explores a crumbling dystopia
The Netflix animated show Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a great entry in the Cyberpunk universe, and one we felt worth exploring in-depth. Joe and Matt give us a spoiler-filled tour of Night City and how all the details of life in that universe lead to a dystopia packed with despair. This is an episode from the archives, so it's one we felt we should bring back to the front in case you missed it.Content Warning: both the podcast and the show we're discussing involve violence, bodily harm, mental health, and drug use.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Crucial Source Material
While we do enjoy going off on wild tangents or thinking about "what if," sometimes it's important to just go back to the crucial source material. The specific writing in-game can not only work to create a vibrant world, but with careful study, can inform the overall trajectory of what you can expect to come. WoW is no different, so today we're taking a look at a set of perhaps overlooked, but no less beloved, sets of writing from the game. We hope you enjoy.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Can you play Hearthstone in the Emerald Dream, and other questions
This week's Lore Watch Podcast is Q&A style, so the topics veer all over the place -- more so than usual. We start off with a question about the Emerald Dream and whether it was designed as a prison -- timely, given Hearthstone's latest expansion releasing yesterday. Speaking of Hearthstone, the next question concerns in-game board games, and what kind of play happens on Azeroth. Then, they follow it up with a question about the Botani and other NPCs potentially coming to Azeroth from different planes and timelines. Seems like a good way to get new games, but then I usually just look through Steam.

On the origins of the Sethrak
Join our hosts Joe Perez and Matt Rossi as they discuss the lore around the Sethrak, the snakelike humanoids we initially met in Vol'dun in Battle for Azeroth. How does their worship of the animalistic Loa spirits shape their society? Titans may tie in to the animalistic loa, and the two working together may have shaped Azeroth as we know it. Plus, they discuss the evolution of species in the context of a magical world: when is a dragonfrog a froglike dragon and when is it dragonlike, but a frog?This week's Lore Watch Podcast is a Sethrakstravaganza.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Could the Sunwell become a Voidwell? (And other wild Warcraft speculation)
This week we put on the tinfoil hat to contemplate Xal'atath's plans for the future, the nature of the void, and where we might be going in the Midnight expansion due out in 2026. As with most of our wild speculation episodes, the conversation goes off the rails and then forgets there were ever rails in the first place.
