Raid Warning Episode 33: Beware the Old Chub

The guys do a remote show and make the worst jokes ever…. that is what happens when they don’t get enough to drink. Expect to find full coverage of patch 3.3.3 (or whatever number they’re on), some guy randomly attacking his mom, bad Smurf jokes, and Thespius sings the Fresh Prince song. Its scary.

  • Outside of the DK, Necromancers and Runemasters were on the list as possible classes
  • Tol Barad will be like Quel’Danas when the PVP battle is not going on, a hub for questing and random PVP skirmishes
  • Agrees that Blizzard didnt do a good job of incorporating Ulduar into the Lich King storyline.
  • Ulduar was bigger than it needed to be, and too hardcore
  • Another raid possible in the Ruby Sanctum (Near Sarth, Wyrmrest Temple) Likely not a 3.4 patch

LISTENER REVIEWS

From PunkerB on iTunes:

The most fun podcast around, I love the drunken rants and wish I could be there with Seven and Brian drinking and ranting every week. Such awesome funtastic humor.

From Cereal Killar on iTunes:

Bottom line, really friggin funny. Its like being in a room hanging with your buddies just shooting the shit about Warcraft, beer, and ball busting. Don’t listen to the tools QQ’n about college humor or gay jokes, it’s good back and forth chat like you’d have with friends. Don’t expect spread sheet numbers or microscopic analysis of gear, but you do get comments on current content crammed in between the laughs.

Kharne – EU Dunemaul on iTunes UK:

I love this cast! From the always awesome music that brings you into and out of the show, to the review of the current beer of the week, this podcast keeps you interested and listening for something new. The hosts are intelligent (unlike some casters I listen to) and have a dry wit which helps the World of Warcraft content move alone nicely and not at all like just “reading the news”.

I have to say – the legendary episode where Seven has to take a spoon of nastyness brought the show down to a new ‘high brow’ level of entertainment that only the strong of stomach can really appreciate. I think I pulled a muscle laughing to be quite honest.

Notosa – on iTunes AU

Needs moar Aussie Beer. You guys make me laugh… even if you can get a little bawdy.

Adylor – via email

Just wanted to personally compliment you on the amazing job you’ve done with the podcast. I also wanted to drop my guild’s Vent info(no worries, I own it) so you guys can pop in, wreak havoc, make yourselves seem like idiots, you know, the norm. :)

Andrew Hutton – via email

To quote your podcast, “let myself introduce myself!” I hope I remembered that quote right because in true raid warning fashion I am working diligently on my own drunken enrage timer.

Actually I wont bore you with introduce myself, instead I thought that I would assign to you a task of immense importance! This is the official Raid Warning Beer Scavenger Hunt:

- Stone Ruination IPA*

- Avery Maharaja

- Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA*

- Breckenridge 471 IPA (Small Batch)*

- Hercules Double IPA

- Boulder Hazed & Infused

- Oskar Blues Old Chub

I recommend completing this if you like beer, beer is awesome. There is no prize because I am poor.

Your podcast is awesome, and so Is your taste in beer. Most of these beers are from Colorado, because, Suprise!, thats where I live. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for the great podcast.
