WoW Insider Show Episode 104: BlizzCon blitz

We've got a special treat for you on this week's podcast: it's actually two episodes in one. Since we were all at BlizzCon this past weekend, we went ahead and recorded a podcast both nights of the con -- after the show, tired as we were, we trudged back to the hotel and recorded some audio reflecting on what we'd seen earlier in the day. Obviously, this is our very first of the first impressions -- some of the things we talked about Friday night were clarified on Saturday, and since we didn't have much time here, we obviously hit on only the biggest highlights. But we did get in some good discussion about Cataclysm and what we've been told so far, Icecrown and what the devs mentioned, and of course the convention itself and what we all saw on the floor.It was actually a lot of fun to sit down and do the show with us all in the same room -- of course it's not usually possible, given that we're all in different places around the country (and world), but it was definitely an interesting thing to try while we were all at the con. And while we're talking about the con, a huge thank you to everyone who came up to us and said how much they loved the podcast -- we really, really appreciate hearing stuff like that. Of course, as you can probably hear, the podcast is a ton of fun to do anyway, but it's great to hear you guys are having as much fun as we are.
Next week, we should be back to normal -- we'll be live on the air at 3:30pm Saturday with Turpster, our usual rotating panel of WoW.com folks, and maybe even some special guests. Thanks for listening, see you then.

Did you and Turpster go to disney world/land (whichever it is)?

We did. We'll talk about it on the next show, and if you guys want, I might put together a gallery of all our pictures. Lots of them showed up on Twitter yesterday on our accounts as well as Shawn Coons' of How I WoW (he and a few readers went with us).

I think he just did get a new, nice mic...
So many people complain about all sorts of sounds they hear on this show. I just expect it and deal. I'd even venture to say it makes me feel like I'm really there. :P

During the first session was Mike on crack or was he just that excited about blizzcon?

A bit tipsy and super-excited would be my guess

i know my laptop speakers are pretty terrible but this is tough to listen to, even for an on-the-road recording.

Would really love Alison Robert to come on the show at some point. My favourite writer, by far.
