What if Jaina Proudmoore became the Lich Queen?
Join us as we explore an alternate universe where daughter of the sea becomes the master of the Scourge. After all, it’s not as if she hasn’t done horrible things as a human.

What happens when a World Soul is killed?
In anticipation of the upcoming Worldsoul Saga multi-expansion we explore the death of previous World Souls, including the one arranged by the Jailer to knock out the Arbiter. And in our continuing fascination with the lore of Cyberpunk 2077 we explore one of the troubling Phantom Liberty endings involving V, Songbird and Reed, asking ourselves: was it preem or not preem?

Should the Azerothian Archives be the future of Archaeology?

What could be the most cyberpunk story in all of Azeroth?
Join us this week as we explore which tech-based based stories in WoW could go full Cyberpunk 2077, how each Starcraft faction would fare against their counterpart in Warhammer 40k, and if the war in Warcraft is honing Azeroth into the ultimate weapon (which would be hunter loot, obviously.)

What if…Sargeras never fell?
Join us this week as we explore an alternate version of Azeroth’s history where Sargeras didn’t betray the Pantheon, but instead became a champion of the Light. From the elves never existing to the Horde never forming to the Dark Portal to Draenor never opening to a massive confrontation with Zovaal in the Shadowlands by a Titan-led army of Light, the implications are, needless to say, wild.
