Episode 21 – Undermine, You Get My Drift?

Episode 21 – Undermine, You Get My Drift? Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 21! – 8:58         Busy world in life, in game, and in podcast.  Lots of 11.1 going on!             “What have you done lately?” – 16:17 Love is in the Air recap Library in our Player Housing when? Barely hitting the 2000 points for the Trading Post An unexpected and difficult adventure to earn the Troll Heritage Armor   Main Topic:  First Laps Around Undermine and Patch 11.1 – 36:03 First thoughts of Undermine and connections to the OG Goblin starting zone of Kezan First playthrough NOT on my Night Elf Druid main, Human Paladin instead on a whim Opening cinematic and Orweyna do tie Undermine to TWW storyline Missing voice lines for Renzik the Shiv? https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-patch-11-1-renzik-voice-acting-missing/ Also, run, don’t walk to check out the new audio short story, Tipping Point! https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/media/audio/Warcraft%20Short%20Story Undermine the city – too much straight story; incredible detail; DRIVE is tricky at first but growing on me; SCRAP piles are fine; doing the jobs in DRIVE is a bit of a time sink; reached 2/6 storylines; one Delve down, one to go; skybox is hilarious; Bilge Rat Swabbie’s Brush mop transmog acquired; what is CHETT and how do I get the amazing double rocket-pack?   Drink of the Month – 1:13:30 Is this a dry town?  Went with an IRL Old Fashioned instead.   Question of the Month – 1:16:18 Results - What should the next playable race be? 15 races suggested, but the top three vote getters were Naga, Arakkoa, and, by a landslide, Sethrak! New question:  What has you excited about WoW?  For me, it is story and story delivery.    News – 1:24:52          Warband camp scenes and ability to create new camps now available 30th Anniversary event in London looked good; hoping to get to it in Boston AND hopefully land an dev interview of some sort Welcome back podcast Realm Maintenance and congrats to Ease and family on birth of their first child! Twitch drop is Tock the Clocker Spaniel – a must get WoW services and other stuff sale – might have bought some realm transfers Why Kalimdor Cup as 11.1 launches? Map adds the Events tab to track Ongoing and Timed events 1 introduces 2 new Delves, Dungeon Raid schedule and Story Mode only comes week 2 (#followerraids when?)   Raid of the Month:  Firelands (Cataclysm) – 1:39:57 One of the most loved raids in the game?  When you add raid achievements, there are three solid mounts to chase here.  I have the rare ground mount, I do not yet have the super rare flying mount, and I am one achievement away from the third one.  In this episode, I bring you along as I try to sew up that last achievement.  Do I get it?  Does Charlie Brown ever kick the football?    Verdict on Firelands– 2:05:00 Yes.  This is a simple verdict.  Park a toon or two or many in Hyjal.   SQ Mailbox – 2:08:07 Voila and comments show up on Spotify!  Some praise and one former listener who seemed to take issue with a single sentence from a single episode.  I have a response to that.   Outro – 2:16:37 Thanks to Blizzard and OGRE for audio, my lovely and supportive wife, and you for listening.
