Since I went to the effort of curating this for the #100 episode, here’s the contents:
#97 “Where’s Alisaunder?” ; no primary topic, but whether pure DPS
classes should be hybridised was perhaps closest.
– Who: Darkbrew, Frostheim, (no guest), Alisaunder AWOL for first ~20mins
News/discussion topics:
– Time shift of HPP (4hrs earlier)
– Upcoming Sept 16 WHU event
– The name-something-for-Zeherah campaign and her response read by
Frost (11:25) “personally I will just be very happy if I have a gun to
play with in the next patch. I don’t care what it’s called, I just

– Transmogrifying limitations
– “Ghostcrawler probably listens to your podcast” ; subsequent
reiteration of serious hunter issues

Questions:
– Ranking question was: what happened to Alisaunder?

nerfed ASAP as it’s untargetable in PvP
Disagreements:
– n/a
Quotes:
– Frost (leads in from 55:55): (on itunes reviews) “Really, this is
only benefit we get from the podcast.. is.. is reading positive reviews
on iTunes to prop up our self esteem. There’s really nothing else in
this for us.”
– Alisaunder (56:35): Deathwing is a sporebat
