268 – High Tinkerer Fizzybitch

Posted on by

As we get ready to take on Mists, we get ready to take on another episode of The Instance.

D3 has a date, and you have a date with it, Panderan Female coming monday, and what else we might here about that day, a ton of talk about the Scroll of Rez, no filler raids before Mists, the movie is still happening, and Thunderbluff looks all blocky!

267 – We feel so talented

Inviting fiends and riding transparent birds so you don’t have to…

Mists beta is really close, Cata with Ghostcrawler and what he thinks the future holds, Scroll of Rez is rezzed, talents will fix things once and for all in Mists, a good idea for free to play and tanking, what lvl 80 character do we want, we are taken to task on what layoffs mean, dude is pissed about the new invite a friend system, another pay model, and Arthas on your best table!

Looking for The Instance? Well, you found it. Let’s do this thing.

The big Blizzard layoffs, a word from Mike M., we already have some ironman winners, Italy gets all official with WoW, Titan as free to play, Mists beta in the wild, machinima as commercials, the family vault for your characters, questing with Dave Kosack, and we give away a chicken!

No Blizzcon? No problem! Welcome to BLIZZGONE!

Posted on by

Yeah, you heard me. This october, Instance and Frogpants hosts such as Scott Johnson, Mark Turpin, Dills McDilly Dills, Tom Merritt, Veronica Belmont (once we ask her), Brian Ibbott, and many more will host a online streaming event to end all streaming events! “BLIZZGONE 2012“!

Ahem…

What this means is literally our attempt to make up for the loss of this year’s Blizzcon, with our own big opening cerimonies, our own big announcements, streamed raids, Starcraft 2 matches, live interviews, and MORE!

What will this cost you? NOTHING, that’s how much. We will be doing a charity drive throughout, so willing individuals can help give to a great cause, but the proceedings will be totally free, and totally not endorsed by Blizzard! (Unless they want to.)

We have some time, but we wanted to get the bug in your ear. (A big bug…like a Zerg Overlord sized bug even.) Details to come! Join us in October for BLIZZGONE, 2012!

Dragon Soul is now 10% off. Mists starts internal alpha testing, the T takes on rubber chickens and monopoly, the best character builds for the Ironman Challenges, DIII beta patch 13 is OUT, what became of the China WoW park, restricting the pet classes, the Blizzard Bucks question, drunk calling, digital manga is on the cheap, and MORE!

263 – Bring out the money hose

Posted on by

Scott and Turpster suit up for a big fat sack of WoW talk, and it begins….now.

More subs gone, but less than you’d think, Battle.net balance is live, optimization tech happened, ToR not hurting WoW as much as some think, Walmart is smoking crack, double your bandwidth, factions and races, Croc is not a croc, and Minecraft goes all Warcraft on us.

#260 – The Instance: Take the player, not the race!

Posted on by

We’re all here, and we bring you love.

Dragon Soul getting the nerf stick pretty quickly, cross-realm raids happening with 4.3.2, say goodbye to Windows 2000, Scroll of Res still down, character model talk, death of world PVP, more annual pass opportunities in future, the WoW movie, making students listen to the show, and WoW on the cheap for good!
