This week in Your Parents
Basement, we are amassing our armies to destroy vile orcs and corrupted humans!
From 1994 to 2004, we’re playing the games of the Warcraft series by Blizzard for the PC. We’re joined by special
guest Pascal’s Pager, a.k.a. Paul Christian Glenn!
And oh yeah, Todd Brisket is back
too, if you’re into that sort of thing.

TIMESTAMPS
- 0:00 – Intro, which features the awesome YouTube collection that Huell refers to on the show.
- 1:02:30 – Emails! What IS Q-Bert anyway?
- 1:17:00 – Snifferoo. Maybe we’ll actually play a certain game next week...
SHOW NOTES
- The first three Warcraft games are often available in a “battle
chest” edition for modern systems that runs from $10 to $20 new. It can be
dicey to buy used copies though, given that Blizzard can be sticklers for
authentication codes.
- On the show, we talk briefly
about Titan, an ambitious MMORPG that
was cancelled by Blizzard despite years of work because it didn’t meet their
high-quality standards. Kotaku has an impressive story on the issues of the
game here,
which sounds ambitious for now, nevermind a few years ago.
- A past episode was about StarCraft! If you missed us talking about that Blizzard game, go here!
- Q*bert is awesome! Here he is.
- You can watch the South
Park episode “Make Love Not Warcraft” on the
show’s website for free.
