Horde House - An Online Gaming Podcast

The online game community is all abuzz about the Warcraft movie announcement trailer shown at Comic-Con. We ponder what it could mean for the movie, and also ponder the possibly more important question– how in the hell did this thing not leak to the internet? Maybe the creators threatened to send any uploaders to virtual jail! Yes, we spend some time debating the return of virtual jail in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Some hosts find it amusing, while others on the panel just don’t get it? What do YOU all think about online jail as a punishment in an MMO? All this and MORE including a Starcraft Birthday, Teabagging with Grandpa, and the game in Xtofer’s pants on the show about ALL things online gaming but NEVER too SRSLY– HORDE HOUSE!

Two big console massively multiplayer games are set to be shut down early next year, which leads us to a Facebook question concerning the inevitable end… how do our listeners (and our hosts) want to see their favorite MMO meet it’s inevitable end? Also, League of Legends is now officially a sport in the U.S. We explain the details on why this is, and debate a bit some of the points about a computer game becoming a sport. All this and MORE including controversial World of Warcraft news, Teabagging with Grandpa, Steam Sale chatter and the plea in Xtofer’s pants on the show about ALL things online gaming but NEVER too SRSLY– HORDE HOUSE!

Rumors of an in-game cash shop coming to World of Warcraft is sure to have all your favorite podcasts buzzing this week, and we are no exception. Although the store is coming to Asia right now, so we try not to get TOO ahead of ourselves, we do speculate with our chatters and our e-mailers about what this could mean for the future of the World of Warcraft. In other news, DOTA 2 finally launches officially after a seemingly endless Beta phase, but does this really change anything? Also, could Grand Theft Auto be the next big MMO we cover on our show?

An early preview of the new Battle.Net launcher comes to the hosts of Horde House, and we are quick to give some early opinions of the all-in-one Blizzard application. In other news, we can’t resist jumping on the huge gaming news about a new CEO for Zynga. As Facebook games are one seriously popular type of online game, what could this potentially mean for the industry? Also, all signs point to a successful reboot of Final Fantasy XIV as beta signups cross a pretty significant milestone.

Blizzard’s big project “Titan” apparently has been delayed, but can you really have feelings attached to a game that we know next to nothing about? At least one Horde House host has an opinion. This opinion and more on games such as Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars one AND two and Diablo 3 round out another news roundtable for the week.

We unveil the big change at Horde House which involves a new tagline– All things Online gaming, but never too seriously. In tonight’s show we touch on not just World of Warcraft, but Final Fantasy XIV, Age of Conan and RIFT. Surely we have plenty to say on the latest patch for Warcraft however. It’s up, and things are already being hotfixed. What bug did one of our hosts discover that doesn’t even seem to be addressed yet? Also, the entire tech world is talking about Xbox One, but how might this new console play into MMO gaming, if at all? We reminice about a few console games on Xbox 360 that actually had cross-play available. All this including the Facebook question of the week, The free game in Xtofers pants, some teabagging with Grandpa and MORE on the show about ALL things Online gaming, but NEVER too SRSLY– HORDE HOUSE!

The internet is all a twitter about the latest Subscriber numbers for the game. Could there actually be some positives to this news? And what is the potential cause of the subscriber drop– and some potential solutions? Our hosts, including current AND former WoW players, explore the options that Blizzard might have. Also, some Pandaria Collectors editions have randomly shown up. Buy ‘em before they end up at Big Lots! Also, Diablo 3 players were in for quite a shock when something that wasn’t supposed to happen ever in the game– did.

BlizzCon tickets went on sale the night we taped our show, which caused us to be a bit late for the live audience. More importantly though– which Horde House host got to buy tickets, and which Horde House host will be seeing some of you at Blizzcon? (Hopefully not in a hotel suite, just sayin…) It’s just Rob, Shane & Grandpa holding down the show tonight, but that doesn’t stop Rob from making some hilarious pronunciation errors while trying to report on the news and read chat comments. Why, he might be able to get a job broadcasting in North Dakota! Anyway, we discuss news such as experience nerfing in patch 5.3. Also, could one battleground be going away soon in Warcraft? Will anyone care if it’s Strand of the Anicents? All of this including the facebook question of the week about factions, live chat comments, VOG Comments and MORE on the show about ALL things World of Warcraft but NEVER too SRSLY– HORDE HOUSE Lastly but not leastly- A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE that helped us with our effort to raise money for the National MS Society!

Our most favorite Dutchie, Sil from Girls Gone WoW joins us this week to dish on the latest in Warcraft. Leave it to the dutch to contribute to an episode so explicit, even the hosts start blushing. Wait, is Shane blushing or is he just sunburnt? Anyway, we have updates this week on Blizzcon. Are the tickets too expensive, or is this an experience that can’t be missed? A web browser is coming to the game, but will it be worth it when it won’t connect to Xtube? PvP changes and Raid bugs round out our news segment this week. We pick some contest winners from Episode 100 and read some pretty amazing e-mails this week which… yeah… one of them just has to be heard to be believed. We really wouldn’t blame you if you skipped past it though. Really. Grandpa, be quiet! STAHP!

On this special episode of Horde House, we break our usual format to take the show back to basics. We recognize we have some people that listen to the show who might not really “get” what WoW is all about. We might also have some newer listeners who want to hear some more basic information about how we got into the game and why we play the game. We talk about all this and more including classes, professions and endgame. Hope you enjoy this special episode, and we will be back to our “normal” format next week!
