The lights are on
We're back! After an extra-long summer break, Andy McNamara and Adam Biessener join me for some long-overdue MMO talk. On our dramatic return episode, we take a long look at all of the details surrounding Mists of Pandaria, the latest World of Warcraft expansion.
Listen to this hour-long episode of Respec Radio to hear why Andy isn't interested in pandas, whether adding Pokemon to WoW is brilliant or terrible, and how our podcast is a stand-in for everything Andy hates about the average MMO player.
NOTE: At the beginning of this episode I mention that we're going to talk about Star Wars: The Old Republic, but by 30 minutes in it became clear that we were going to have a lengthy enough episode without that segment. Look for another episode devoted to our impressions of the Old Republic beta in the coming weeks.

Yessssss! Finally, another Respec Radio! ^_^
Could... could it be?!! Welcome back Respec Radio! :)
Andy your rants made my day. I missed listening to you go off on a tangent.
Welcome Back man
Dont you just want to shot that panda cuz I do
this.......was long.....overdue.
When's the new Dark Souls podcast?
If pandaren monk = kung-fu panda
then
tauren monk = karate cow
Adam hates gnomes? I found my nemesis.
I guess you could say it's a...PANDEMIC.
I thought of kung-foo panda too. But I also thought WoW looked like a youthful lighthearted fantasy romp so it doesn't seem TOO out of place. BUT, I know this game elicits plenty of negative emotions from people who, "love it." I don't understand..
THE PODCAST HAS RETURNED!!!!
Whatever happened to the Dark Souls podcast Phil? C'mon now!
I'm inclined not to pass judgement for the single overriding reason that I don't know what they should have done. I mean, I thought killing Arthas was not going to be toppable (and nothing in Cataclysm has topped that for me) but here comes Deathwing who is supposedly even MORE of a bad ass. We kill him and then who's next? My knowledge of lore died off after WotLK, so I'm just enjoying the ride for now.
As far as panda haters go, I have yet to hear a reasonable argument against them besides the simple fact that you "think" they are stupid. I don't really have an opinion either way, but I don't have any reason to be against them that makes sense. I'm more interested in the xpac for what it will bring to my class and the game in general, because it better be good.
FINALLY, the beginning of the end for this cartoonish paper mmorpg. But i do hope the 13yr old players can stay in that game and troll eachother, mature gamers welcome to Tera and THOR !
Andy's disgust over pandas makes me very happy.
