Thank you for watching my video! It was an absolute honor and privilege to pick Dave’s brain about World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and his time at Blizzard! The insight he gave about the Old Gods, the Titans, and more, could help us piece together and better understand the Cosmology and cyclical structure that lies at Warcraft’s heart. Enjoy this over TWO-HOUR interview, tackling a variety of fun (and sometimes a little bit random) topics!
Thanks again to Dave for his time.

What a great interview. The cloud serpent answer felt like a dodge? pretty funny though.❤
Did I spend two hours watching this? Only to go back and watch it again? Why yes, yes I did. Pyro is a wonderful host, good job man.
Well, the fact that the elements*REALLY* answered the call when Thrall was fighting Garrosh probably shows something. A warrior can beat a shaman after all, especially one that has a weak connection to the elements.
He seems like an absolute sweetheart, great video 🙂
That was a phenomenal interview. Thank you for sharing.
KILLED IT
amazing, thanks pyro and Dave! 🙂
This was a great interview, Pyro! Excellent work both in securing it and executing it!
no writer worth their salt should be gushing over the cosmology chart, that shit ruined warcraft lore. well was final nail I should say, infantized baby writing killed warcraft, the chart was just a symptom of it.

Great interview! One of the best I've seen like this and loved the mutual passion and enthusiasm, interview was in great hands with your questions!
for an over 2 hour interview this flowed so well, great chemistry
Great content! I love to see the point of view of the narrative designer, both as a person playing wow and loving its lore, but also as a wannabe game devemoper. Thank you for this interview! <3
Can‘t wait for your hearthstone reactions!
I was supposed to be asleep 2hrs ago – but I was so caught up in the conversation that I had to finish it. Great content Pyro, great questions, and a big shout out to Dave Kosak for lending their time for this. Looking forward to more of those, keep it coming!
Great interview pyro
Back when Blizzard had good narrative team and not some ideological cultural Marxists with not skill or life experiences.
amazing interview! So sad this guy is not on the wow team anymore.
Also he looks like a guru, help self guy ;D Ill would buy that
