Blizzard Watch Podcast Uncut: We're not mad about transmog, just disappointed (and also very mad)

Added 2025-11-21 01:11:15 +0000 UTC

In this week's preshow, our cohosts are playing The Outer Worlds 2 so they're debating the efficacy of high Charisma as opposed to lockpicking.

A new set of Magic the Gathering cards was released, this time featuring Avatar, not the James Cameron one, the anime one, and Joe has thoughts. Plus, another set of Dispatch episodes dropped, so we're excited -- but as vague as possible -- about that. If you'd like to, you know, do the thing about skipping the preshow, I'll gesture to the following number and let you figure it out: 28:34

We start off the show this week talking about WoW Classic, namely that Burning Crusade Anniversary realms were announced and are coming in January, perhaps concurrentish with the release of Midnight. It's fine, it's not like we have lives outside of this one video game or anything. Then, we pivot to the changes to transmog coming in Midnight, and it seems like every time we look at those changes they get worse and worse, much like the gear we had to wear right at the beginning of The Burning Crusade.

While we're excited to see Vendetta, the new Overwatch 2 hero coming soon, it's kinda weird she calls herself a term used in both Italian and Spanish slang to mean "lady of the night." She does have a big sword, and she seems neat.

Also, we're coming to the end of the year, so it's game awards season. Lots of awards have been announcing their nominees, and the lists aren't without controversy.

Thank you so much for your support, and we hope you enjoy the show!
