I hear you mon. The Shuffle Bois turn to the world of Azeroth (and their own adolescences, before their Twink Death) to discuss the one MMORPG to rule them all, World of Warcraft. They trace Blizzard’s rise from a much beloved small private company that went on a historic, untouchable, Michael-Jordan-in-the-90s-style run to a much maligned publicly traded subsidiary of another videogame company. En route, they discuss the mechanics of World of Warcraft, the corporate ownership structures that do and don’t lead to good art, and the massive real world impacts of World of Warcraft in the 2000s.
If you want to skip the non-2000s stuff, the theme song starts at 9:30.
Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes. It also makes it easier to book guests.
