My WoW Family (Part 2) and the Story of Norm - Ep 32

Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 32! – 1:06

After the first part of My WoW Family dropped, I was sidelined by some horrible throat cold. Hard to record without a voice. Having mostly recovered, it is time to continue the journey.

“What Have You Done Lately?” and a bit of news – 6:53

• I am going to Blizzcon! Tickets and hotel acquired! Will I see you there? Let me know.
• Beta access has launched but I don’t have access because unlike when you buy a Blizzcon ticket, your Battle.Net account is not connected to your purchase of the Collector’s Edition. Will I have early access to Housing on December 2?
• Little progress in Legion Remix; wouldn’t screenshots from the game make for great wall paintings for Housing décor?
• Surprise! I am NOT actually participating in the 21st anniversary events; stopped after a single trivia question

Main Topic: On Final WoW Family Story – 20:44

The most recent member of my WoW family appeared when helping me kill a K’aresh rare and hung out to teach me about Devourer Invasions

Raid of the Month: Manaforge Omega? – 29:11

Now a few weeks ago, but the Lion’s Pride Tavern raid team was kind enough to let me run through 6 bosses of Heroic with them! They might not have known it was my first ever current content raid, but they might have guessed from a few of my actions or inactions.

Profile of My Uncle Norm – 57:01

My uncle Norm was 9 years older than me and took me under his wing when he didn’t have to. Then we drifted apart, and even stayed apart despite both playing WoW. And then he passed away. This profile dives into his WoW roster to see what I can learn about my uncle in his final years. Thanks for listening along. And thanks to my Aunt Connie for sharing Norm’s story and his account with me.

Drink of the Month – 1:46:13

Straight from my uncle’s bank, we crack a couple of Nethergarde Bitters and toast those who we all have lost.

SQ Mailbag – 1:47:37

Apple and Spotify and email – we finally catch up in the SQ Mailbag; keep the feedback coming!

Big Solo Queue Announcement! – 2:01:36

Why not start a Solo Together Housing Neighborhood and maybe even a guild? Interested? Let me know.
