  1. 3:26 Fun fact: His name is actually just "Gecko". That's the original premise: people were calling him instead of Geico (because of the similar names), and he was annoyed about it. "Call Geico, not gecko."

  2. Awww, poor Jesse. You think the WoW main story was ever good, that's cute. Literally every villain is either insane or corrupted by an old god, that's it. You aren't ever going to find an Emet-Selch type character, a villain you can relate to, in WoW; their writing team just isn't that good.

  3. The videogame show thing, Secret Level, is from the creators of Love, Death & Robots, not just LIKE them. Blur Studio, Tim Miller as showrunner, David Fincher etc. and it's on Netflix

  4. If you guys wanna get into some Path of Exile 2 discussion before it comes out then i recommend ZiggyD as a guest. Dude is goated in that community and is incredible at communicating his thoughts. Would to see him as an ambassador of the game on Geekenders.

  5. Jesse, there's only one thing to do to claim Dodger. Kill Sam… in a duel. He's English. He cannot decline a pistol duel challenge. It's still common law over there. Don't worry about her kid, just put her in an orphanage. It'll be like Oliver Twist. She'll have a blast!

  6. It's funny, cause with WoW, the thing I got curious was the main story line. I know in DT there were some good side stuff, but the overall main story wasn't clicking. And yeah I do agree. Almost every time I hear about WoW, it's like "OMG IT'S THE GREATEST THING EVER" and then when we dive in again about a month later, it's like… the opposite. So I couldn't use it as a reliable source from it.

    What I did, instead, was look a few of the cutscenes and try to see and understand if this is something I would like, but it didn't, so might just sit out for now. We know the gameplay is going to be okay at least, so the thing that needs to push the boundary is the RPG part.

  7. Jesse for what it's worth, and I'm not video creator so I don't have a video on his or anything, I think Dragonflight was fantastic and just below Mists of Pandaria for me. I thought Dragonflight was good at launch and I felt the expansion was good the entire time. I thought the overreacting story was fine, not amazing, some of that being the last patch felt a bit like they were forcing a square peg in a round hole because they seemed to be last minute trying to fix the world tree burning to try and tie up loose ends before TWW. I'd more say that each patch had its own story that roughly connected to each other, but each patch story was good. I know you kind of dismissed the zone storylines, but I really can't stress enough how good the side quests were, probably some of the best the game has ever done. Dragonriding is a triumph. The Niffen were fun, I like the Dracthyr a lot, there's a lot of good stuff this expansion. Some misteps but my overall view of the expansion never changed. I don't agree with the people saying DF's story was bad, it just had some issues here and there.

    I think the loudest and most popular voices tend to go overboard with the negativity regarding WoW, and follow that WoW cycle while players like me who might enjoy an expansion the entire time are just randos without a platform for you to see. And certainly BfA and Shadowlands being back to back bad with Shadowlands being bad storywise (so much wasted potential for that setting) and grindwise (the anima grind was ridiculous) has not helped with the negativity. But I promise you players that thought Dragonflight was good and not just during the first week are out there.

    Anyway I do hope one day you'll go back and experience dragonflight outside of what content creators are telling you, and I'm hoping that TWW can continue the momentum that DF has started. I hope Metzen and Co can pull off this trilogy arc they are attempting.

  8. Ben Franklin is also likely responsible for the creating the legend of the Jersey Devil. Very long story short, he started spreading rumors about a British loyalist who was writing a farmer's almanac to rival his own. He essentially accused the man of Devil worship, and over the centuries those rumors persisted and twisted into the legend.

  9. WoW helped me fall in love with RPGs, but I have to agree it's more about group stuff like raids and dungeons. My favorite part of RPGs are the story and questing and I think there's better MMOs for that like SWTOR or ESO.

  10. I had one of those ghost pepper spicy chicken noodle soups and it gave me the SPICIEST shits afterwards. Like, thinking that I'm ill-or-something-kinda-shits. I was sweating and gripping the seat as I pleaded for respite. It took hours before the ring of fire had settled

  11. Wait, conspiracy radio actually exists in the US? I thought that was just a gag in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines… I loved The Deb of Night, and the fact a show like that actually exists… where can I tune in, outside of the US.

  12. If you guys like Hot Ones I can't recommend Last Meals on Mythical Kitchen enough. Josh does a phenomenal job at interviewing. One of the recent ones he actually interviewed the interviewer himself, Sean Evans of Hot Ones.

  13. The only real issue is that Jesse's current thoughts on wow are unintentionally disingenuous. the current expansion is just an adventure story exploring a "new world" and just dealing with the dangers that have been found there. it aint that deep and it was intentionally so.

  14. I came back to WoW late last year and dungeons are so fast now. Trying to re-learn how to tank is impossible. Folks expect you to move at a supersonic pace. The few NPC dungeons they've added in make me hopeful I can learn how to tank in a place where I won't get bailed on because I don't already know how to run the dungeon I'm running for the first time.

  15. There has definitely been a marked change in the design philosophy of WoW ever since the Microsoft acquisition started and the Activision executives got sidelined. Obviously Microsoft is still a heartless corporation, and so is every other AAA publisher, but the difference is palpable, and the WoW team has even fully unionized. Focus switched to evergreen improvements to the core game experience (renown, talent trees, warbands, follower dungeons, more cosmetics and customization options, more progression paths, more determinative gearing, etc.), they've committed to a rapid 8 week patch cadence, they've gotten a lot better about listening to and quickly responding to feedback, etc. And then of course Metzen returned and changed the paradigm for narrative design too, now plotting out large scale story beats years in advance so that everything feels more cohesive, or at least hopefully it plays out that way. Dragonflight, as a proof of concept and blueprint for future expansions, I think proves that the design side of the game has fundamentally changed from where it was even four years ago.
