Olwenn and I catch up after a long break, talk about my cross-country move, complain about summer heat, and launch the Hearth & Hammer merch store and new logo. Then Nathan Landel (@Choice_au), co-writer of Folding Ideas' "Why It's Rude to Suck at Warcraft," joins us for a deep conversation covering his MoP Classic raiding, his chaotic start as a Race to World First analyst for Big Dumb Guild, the academic reception of the video, and a passionate case for why Mists of Pandaria demonology was the best spec ever made.
