Horde House
Howdy ya'll and welcome to The Best Little Horde House in Azeroth. Internet radio & podcasting veterans Rob Roberts and Xtofer, and their wine loving friend Grandpa bring you a weekly dose of Azeroth news and updates from an honest yet sometimes sassy perspective. Join us for our antics each week as we invite special guests to pull up a chair with us and poke a little fun at one of our past times.
Big PVP Changes are coming in Patch 5.2, and we talk about the new levels of PVP gear in tonight’s show. However, the Facebook question of the week indicates that perhaps a significant part of the user base doesn’t particularly care about, or intends to set foot in PVP. (Click More... for More)
And just like that, a feature from 5.1 may be disappearing in 5.2. We are joined by Sunshine aka Jon from the GameBuoy Podcast to talk about the removal of the upgrade vendors in 5.2. Is Blizzard doing the right thing? Or are they overreacting to gear balance concerns? We debate the issue on the show. (Click More... for More)
Special Guest Ronnie Talbott from Big Brother Season 11 joins us this week where a show on guilty pleasures collide– World of Warcraft, and REALITY TV. Ronnie talks to us about his Warcraft style before and after the show, and of course gives us some details about what it was like to be cast on the show after such persistence. Big Brother fans might be shocked to find out who ELSE was a Warcraft player… perhaps there need to be a Warlock Alliance in a future season? (Click More... for More)
We were supposed to take the week off, but with all the 5.2 news that came out just before Christmas, we couldn't help but do a LIVE show. So we taped this weeks show LIVE at vognetwork.com to talk about all the latest on what is known about 5.2.
That doesn't stop us from talking about some of the other goings on in the game right now including hunter pets and pet battle updates. Also, a tweet sent to us reminds us that it is the last show of the year, so we reflect on 2012 in WoW, and look forward to 2013. (Click More... for More)
All is quiet on the Blizzard front due to the holiday season– but a few details about the next patch (5.2) were teased in some blue posts. Could these be the quality of life changes we were looking for to re-energize the game? We use some of the news roundtable tonight to look at what is going on in some of the other MMO’s out on the market. (Click More... for more)
Something we’ve talked about as a suggestion on the show previously may be headed towards a reality– Challenge Mode for old dungeons. Some of our hosts think the expansion dungeons could use a little love too, however. Also, what’s the least popular class in WoW right now? What classes have been holding up surprisingly well post expansion? (Click More... for More)
We are joined this week for a talk with Lissanna from restokin.com and Team Wafflecast. Lissanna has also become known in the community this week for her “real” persona, Dr. Whyte, in which she is enlisting the help of the gaming community to fund a project geared towards helping autistic youth.

Patch 5.1 just hit the day of our recording, and we catch up on some of the final news of the patch with our special guest, superfan Flaco Jones! Also, Pandaria has gone on sale for the Black Friday & Cyber Monday shopping mania, but one twitter question asks us if this is really a fair deal for vets of the game… (Click More... for More)
Happy 8th Birthday to the World of Warcraft and the Warcraft community! The Pilgrim’s Bounty event has started in the game, and if you weren’t already aware, it’s a great way to level your cooking very quickly.
Patch 5.1 brings more changes including a visual debuff for Loss of Control, but do Grandpa, Shane & Rob think this is a useful change, or is this something that everyone should already recognize? Our opinions do differ a bit… (Click More... for More)
The 5.1 patch appears to be just around the corner, but could this be a rare case of “too soon”? Our hosts explore this as well as the wide wonderful whiny realm of forum posts. Do people have legitimate concerns on the forums? And how has the response been of the blues… we voice our opinions on the show tonight. (Click More... for more)
