Summary
This week we're looking back at the events of 2025, with our special guest Phil Ulrich. Rather than going at it chronologically, Matt consults a D8, which means we discuss one of our favorite things from the year which actually happened last: player housing! But there were a ton of things that happened in all of Blizzard's games this year, from Plunderstorm's return to Legion Remix , three Hearthstone expansions, and a ton of Diablo 4 seasons (though who can tell the difference between them). We also met new friends like Valentina, the lizard that was a part of a Hearthstone marketing campaign we would die for, and King Krush, also a Hearthstone -based lizard. Probably a coincidence. The In Memoriam section this year is Warcraft Rumble . May it rest in peace. Then, all the other games that had us in a chokehold. But honestly, it's mostly the player housing.
