To bad had to go you really had great Warcraft/ Blizzard discussions. RIP The Instance. Great job Scott and everyone else
Thank you. See you the CORE side! Incredible work Scott. Keep it up.
Farewell, The Instance. It’s been fun!

obey Henry!
I get that Scott is friends with Garret, so he comes on the show. He just sounds so whiney and either try hards to be edgy or is just an unpleasant person to listen to. I couldn't imagine holding a conversation with him.
“The tingling tenders need their own space”
Magnificent. Loved this series with Metzen. Great work, Scott!
They’ve only released 6 VERSIONS OF NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. HAH. Legit tho.
yaaaay! new one!
Don't expect Scott to criticise Blizzard in the slightest. If any guests or chat does so, he'll immediately get on the Blizzard train defending them like the biggest fan boy. Essentially, having a viewpoint other than his on Blizzard as a company isn't allowed
This show died the day Randy left in about 2009...
