Is it true Lore is stepping down from 3 days a week raiding in wow to focus more time on other projects? If so good move, ur a smart guy and need to focus on other stuff besides a game thats going downhill fast.

  Doesn’t seem Lore has raided three days a week for awhile. I’m wondering if he will continue 25 man raiding or start 10 man raiding, or will he raid at all.
  
  Also wondering if he will be competitive in the Challenge Mode Dungeons.

after i’ve called a few times this show will be taken down.

Excellent show, very entertaining. I do have one question about something that was said, does viewership on twitch dropping after a game launches actually equate interest in the game dropping or does it actually mean people are playing the game instead of just watching. Personally for me its the later, I really dont watch twitch anymore because that time I spent i use playing games, the only exceptions are sites and shows that I really enjoy.

I dont think mists of pandaria is going to be successfull, loads of people are extremely unhappy about the pokewow and the my little panda island adventures..
If blizzard doesnt giv a crap about western players and tries to cater to japs, then why should western players give a crap about blizz?
What i’ve been noticing in AoC(Age Of Conan), is that suddenly there are loads of new players.
- Gamizero
  
  haha, its nice to see where your racism stands..
  sadly, blizzard doesn’t care about the “japs” they are equally as worthless as americans economically that market growth won’t happen.
  
  they’re going after the china man now.. thats were all the money is..

Sorry but I had to turn it off, sounds like someone lives above a nightclub or something, all I could here was a base track in the background all the way through
A1cntrler

I enjoy this show, however it does sound like the GB Studio is right next to a nightclub or something. I have heard this same sound during Legendary. Just a sort of bass track that thumps my sub under my desk constantly.
http://twitter.com/Frizzik5241 Frizzik

Next time tell whoever is listening to bass to turn it off!!! Through the whole video there was an annoying beat going on in the background. Annoying!!!
matraque

Great show. Maybe filter out some WoW questions and you guys are good.
- JJversion1
  
  Given the fact that this was shot live it’s kind of hard to do, now if that’s changed then it’d be a different story.
  - matraque
    
    They can engage in chat before and see what is the topic of the question before the call gets in.
    - http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr
      
      Lol, so you want GamebreakerTV to take a editorial policy this is a call in show with Lore and Darnell, but we don’t take questions about World of Warcraft.
      - matraque
        
        No, all i’m saying is take 1 question about wow and then move on to something else… Darnell can color other things than WoW… I’m sure he’s capable.
    - JJversion1
      
      Then they need to record the show and not make it live, it would make it much easier. The calls could then be monitored and edited before it goes on air, it’s not easy to tell what someone is going to ask, when the show is live, before putting the caller on the air..
- http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr
  
  Lol, a call in show with Darnell as one of the host and you don’t expect World of Warcraft questions.
  - Ravenstorm
    
    Darnell is not just a WoW character, he’s evolved into a eternal hero of owyeah, doing his stuff travelling game dimensions and showing us his adventures through his intradimensional vidcam. Which he hides in his mouth. He should be on every show. Together with MikeB. Yeah.
http://twitter.com/Sevanna17 Rachel

It was the guy next door to the studio on his drums. Nothing they could do about it. This was said MANY times in chat.
Keigh

Awesome show guys, Darnell had me laughing a lot. The only downfall is the drummer next door, it got to a point last night were all I was hearing was the boom boom boom and it was giving me a headache, hopefully next Tuesday it wont be as loud.
Dekin

Darnell you’re my hero

I feel jasmine could fill very well on the show, and it would feel the emptyness somehow theres in the show!
- http://quintlyn.com/ QuintLyn Bowers
  
  Jasmine’s been very busy lately.. Her best friend has been going through surgeries and she’s been spending an enormous amount of time with her.
- http://twitter.com/MikeSchaffnit Mike Schaffnit
  
  the best part of this show, if you don’t like the questions being asked… call in and make your own. YOU shape the conversation, but you have to call first.
http://twitter.com/cyanerd Prostyle

Finally I’ve witnessed our boy darnell be a live host, I won life, there isn’t much left to do. THANK YOU OUR BOY DARNELL!!!
Fluffenstuffen

Mike, only recommendation is either put a wind screen in front of your mic or turn down the bass in your recording. It’s quite obnoxious. Otherwise the show is fantastic!
- http://twitter.com/MikeSchaffnit Mike Schaffnit
  
  its not me. The problem is right behind our wall is a drummer who has a recording studio.
  
  He’s been very good about not playing during the hours we have shows, but we keep adding more and more shows and times. So it’s really not his fault.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=747725054 Carlos Navarretti

Can you guys make sure your volumes are unified? Mike S usually sounds way louder than other people so I have turn down the volume every time he starts speaking and turn it back up when Lore is speaking for instance.
HappyHansel

They did a great job giving Darnell video to match his words. He did have a bit of trouble lip-synching with that nasty overbite.
http://twitter.com/Tidonius Tidonius

This is gold. Darnell live?!?! wow…just wow. This might knock TWIMMO off my favorite GBTV show.
http://www.facebook.com/davidallmighty David Cohen

BEST SHOW EVER… Long time GBTV viewer and I watch all your shows, even the ones for games I don’t play anymore, and I must say this show was amazing. I love TWIMO cause it deals with multiple games, but this show covering all sorts of topics and has my “nohomo-videogame-mancrush” Josh and Darnell was awesome too… oh and that host guy was good

GW2 has low views on twitch coz everyone play GW2… it’s not that fun to watch like to play that game.
- http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr
  
  I prefer playing GW2 instead of watching it on twitch. But, the point is the number of steams and viewers have gone down.
Joey Biggs

Keep these coming

A Great new addition to the Line-up, Guys.

It’s like comedy skeet for Darnell.

Suggestion:
Have a short segment within the show called
“Darnell’s Thought for the Day”,
or something Like that.

It would only take a few moments, and add a little bit of a Break from the Q&A,
Maybe closer to the end of the show.

Just My .02

Great show, very entertaining!

OK I WAS going to complain about the time being CST, but nah, I’ll stay up and enjoy it

  It’s called After Dark for a reason <__>

    You’re alive?!?!? Oh happy DAY! Good to see you back here!

I would date mike S. haha just saying ^_^

Great idea, great execution. It’s definitely a show I’ll watch live weekly. Having Darnell on gives it a good feel and as always Lore’s answers always strike me as knowledgeable to a scary degree. Gamebreaker.tv is growing up, keep running with it and we’ll keep watching guys!

in the case of banner for challenge modes and the question from Mike S., you could show the banners for the top 5 players of each dungeon, so if you see 5 times one banner, you know that they are from the same guild, if you see different banners they are from different, if some players of the group are from different realm it becomes a bit trickier, I guess you choose at random which banner will fill the top 5 from the second best group.

  Guess you could default it to the party leader.

can we get rid of everyone except darnell?

  Wouldn’t that be Blizz Blues.

Keep it up

  It’s not a number just a skype handle. ^_^ Anyone can call in. Although I do know it’s late for EU peeps. It’s late for me. XD

This show rocks! besides guild cast and build cast this is your new hit!….dude lol love it

What is that thumping background noise? It’s so irritating.

Dear Josh.. how could MoP release have a bigger effect on GW2 than GW2 release had on WoW? That’s just impossible, youknow, coz of the numbers.. If every person who left WoW to play GuildWars goes back for MoP that would mean their effect on eachother was the same.. but I don’t think everyone will go back. There are surely some ppl who prefer the Guildwars style and can’t go back to Wow after playing it.
- http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr
  
  No, using your example that would be a disastrous effect on GW2. If everyone who plays or played WoW returned exclusively to Mist of Pandaria, GW2 would be a ghost town. That would be catastrophic as dynamic events seem to require a critical mass to meet that fun factor.
  
  Also, I would hope that GW2 is still on a growth cycle, so every sale of Mist of Pandaria is a potentially lost sale for GW2.
  
  While I am sure GW2 will retain a significant player base, my impression is the activity in GW2 does seem to be slowing down.

    I think that’s due more to the fact that the population of players is being spread out across all zones now. In the first week or two, it was a zerg fest between levels 1 – 30ish which is why the overflow servers were there in the first place. I’m still doing events with at least 4 – 5 people wherever I go, much better than 50 people collecting apples.
- MiZTiiX
  
  I don’t think many WoW players left for GW2, they either played BOTH or they didn’t play because they are so different

This is awesome! I love the show. Next time I’m going to have to call in to Darnell to ask him why he was following me around in the Deathknell with a sword and board. My eyes about bugged out of my skull when I saw him (which I guess isn’t saying much as a Forsaken, but still). I had to seek council with The Dark Lady and she assured me that Darnell is still a rogue. I still have to ask though!

Also, I agree that Chrono Trigger is the best game storyline, ever (close behind are Dragon Quest VIII and Final Fantasy VI though). I hate the PS1 version of CT though… Those loading screens. Damn. You definitely have to play the SNES or Virtual Console versions unless you like long pauses after every damn thing.

Guys great show but what a crap production with that annoying bass sound in the background!
- Scrivean
  
  Completely agree, the bass was distracting and annoying

  Kungen & Kripp left GW2 and went back to WoW just saying.

  I’m just sad I didn’t make it to 80 before I start hardcore leveling and raiding in Mist of Pandaria.
  
  Guess, I should have used the exploits of grinding explorable mode dungeon runs and then crafting for the last 10 levels.
ZekePrince

This show is like a dream come true for me. I love it.

Darnell <3 so right everyone always comes back.

Good old camera angle Miranda. That line got this episode 3 thumbs up.

Um, the Wii U has a lot of new games, just a majority of the third party launch titles are recent ports, the majority of which just released this summer.

Mario is going to be a launch title Schaff, you have a computer in front of you, use it if you don’t know an answer.

Lore, it is Zombie U (it’s Ubisoft man, they do what they want).

Bayonetta 2 and CoD: Black Ops 2 are going to be Wii U exclusives and boy are Nintendo haters foaming at the mouth about it.
Alex Wallace

If everyone always came back to wow, why havent they went back up to 12 million players? they will drop even more subs like a month after pandaria when their time runs out….i am estimating 9.1 million drop to 8.5 million a month after pandaria.
- MiZTiiX
  
  because the new expansion hasn’t come out. How stupid are people like you who still haven’t figured out the pattern in 8 YEARS! Jesus

I cannot wait to call in next week.

Was watching this while using my headphones and I could hear a heavy bass thumping in the background.
The more I heard it, the harder it got to ignore.
Anyway, I liked the show, keep it up

The 3rd caller was just retarded, Bayonetta is Wii U exclusive and nintendo PAYED Sega for making it, sega didnt want to do bayonetta at all for wii u
