Blizzcon is on everyone’s mind this week. Grandpa and Rob were in Anaheim and bring back some stories from the convention and more importantly the parties! Shane and Xtofer watched from home and definitley have their opinions too. We try to look at both sides of the coin, the good and bad about one of our favorite online game producers. It’s not a 100% Blizzard show this week though, as there’s news to jump into as well involving Everquest Next Landmark and their upcoming Beta which you can pay to get into.

One of our favorite prices to pay for an online game is FREE, and on tonights show we talk about a couple of free to play games. First off is a report on the updated graphics for DC Universe Online in support of the Playstation 4. Some of us were fans of this game when it first came out, why did we stop playing? Will pretty superheroes in tights drive us back? Also, a game that Rob talked about several months ago, Path of Exile, is officially released to the world via Steam. We talk about some of the updated changes to the game, and it’s unique talent system.

After some general chit chat about Pokemon, Earthquakes and Yellow cards, we get to the news roundtable which includes some discussion on the inclusion of Cataclysm into the World of Warcraft Battle Chest. Is this going to be enough to woo new players to the game? Or does this seem a little more geared towards those that left long ago? We get into discussion about The Crew, an online game that got delayed into next year. Are delays in the gaming industry a big deal? We have a discussion on game delays and the impacts they have.

We have LOTS to say this week with our guest Auspher on everything that’s going on in MMOs. WoW has a new expansion, and Grandpa and Rob have some feedback from the time spent playing it. Rift also has a new expansion, which shows this free to play game is still growing. A highly controversial change is coming to Diablo 3, to the relief of many players, but our live chatroom provides some counter points that we dicuss on the program. Also, a word of warning for those that haven’t upgraded their phones to the newest iOS yet. All this and LOTS more including what we’ve been logged into, tweets, e-mails and the game in Xtofers pants on the show about ALL things online gaming but NEVER too SRSLY – HORDE HOUSE!

Xtofer and Rob are back from various convention trips to PAX and DragonCon, and report on the things that were seen and the games that were played. The packet loss monster tries to stop Xtofer from his report, but he’s able to tell us about a simple fighting game with only two buttons. Ghemit also drops by once again to tell us about a different simple flash game that will STEAL YOUR SOUL… with cookies. In more standard online game news, World of Warcraft announces the new raiding schedule, but one e-mailer points out how there’s people complaining about it. Do the hosts feel these complaints are justified? Also, we talk about Diablo 3 on the console and a DC Universe expansion. Lastly but not leastly, after all these episodes, and all this time, Shane has an excuse to bring up one of his favorites on the show.
