WoW Insider's Mark "Turpster" Turpin and Mike Schramm join Shawn and Michael to run through a ton of personal opinions on Blizzard's brand-new expansion. Join us for talk of zones, instances, and the future of the game.Continue reading Massively Speaking Podcast Episode 32

I will be amazed if someone says they got something out of this show. What completely awful guests. MZ deserves a medal, I'd of dropped the line after 10 minutes.

Couldn't disagree more. It does the heart good to hear such unbridled enthusiasm for the expansion from three knowledgeable players of the game. I just feel bad for Shawn. However, I'm guessing he was busy with Moria during most of the show.

The purpose of the media is to inform, entertain and educate. I don't see the value in people constantly interrupting and talking over each other to say stuff any WoW player has either already seen, or would regard as a spoiler. This was fanboy bloggerism at it's worst, a classic example of podcasting serving ego above anything else.

Some really strong opinions on this one. I can't wait to get to listen to it tomorrow and see for myself. Generally I really enjoy this show, I will be interested to see if I find this one any different.

Michael Z does deserve a medal. Have you listened to WOW Radio? it's like this on every show. The "T" or whatever he wants to be called is Terrible. And his fanboy friend Mike basically wanted to give Turpster as much time to blabber on as possible, queing his buddy to talk so he could attempt to be funny. These two are like Barrens Chat - I can't stand them.
This Turpster guy is one of the most annoying people on the planet. Sorry Michael. I love your show but you probably had no idea the these two individuals would be so lame.
I would have like to hear Shawn talk more about Lotro since I didn't know much about the new expansion. Maybe next time.
Love the show - just not this particular one.

I stand by what I posted above but I did forget to add that Massively speaking is usually excellent and thanks for doing it. I can't wait for next weeks show.

I have been listening since show 4, and I had a great time listening to this show. The two guests had me in fits of laughter. Sure Shawn didn't have a lot of input and I would have liked to here more about Moria, but nevermind. I guess you can't please all the people all the time. And Michael, please don't try to. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate all the Shawn love :) I just wanted to say that I kept my mouth shut because I'm just not one for WoW too much, and I know very little about Wrath. It was totally my choice, but you can bet your butt I'll be going on and on when we cover Moria :)
