Bitter and Salty – Episode 42 – Blood Boiling Over
Posted by Bitter and SaltyJul 24
In the forty-second World of Warcraft podcast episode, we double ding Double Agents and recap the greatest and worst challenge of all, our race to level 90, we examine the stress that the game can sometimes put on our in and out of game relationships, we reveal our slash played and gold made during the challenge, we explain what a monkey run is, we offer up another Blizzcon tip, and we try really, really hard to pick a favorite battleground for our Thirty Weeks of World of Warcraft.
Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.
Worst challenge ever…
It affected us negatively.
Trying to find the positive.
Remember, it’s just a game.
The Negative Side of Relationships in WoW
What negative experiences can carry over into IRL?
Burnout on the game or the stress of maintaining real player relationships in an MMO?
@Molsan @bitterandsalty @SaltySlainte so proud of you both. Now junk that crap and get back to ER Horde already!!

@Molsan @bitterandsalty @SaltySlainte Finally, our long national nightmare is over! Big "grats" to you both for sticking with it!

Snooter28: “I was rested when we started and was averaging 450-500k experience roughly every 3 minutes. With completing 20 runs an hour that is 10 million experience in an hour and 1 level up in a little under 2 hours.”

@bitterandsalty Battle for Gilneas. I like the "keep the bases" & smallish BG's. This one's perfect ♥

@bitterandsalty Alterac Valley. Love riding with the cavalry charge at the start. And yes, I'm exalted with the Stormpike Guard.

@bitterandsalty Alterac Valley, a great classic! (There are three tied for second place, too.)

@bitterandsalty I loved the old 6 hour long AV battles. "Don't fight on the road, noobs!" "OMG, help summon the Ice Lord!" Ah, good times!
— Rhett_CTR (@leenovak16) July 23, 2013
@bitterandsalty Gotta go with AV and AB. Spent a ton of time there in vanilla, and have some of my favorite WoW memories of saving the day.

@bitterandsalty Eye of the Storm. Druid hurricane macro back in the WOTLK days was epic for knocking unsuspecting people down the pit. heehe

Weian
Molsan & Slainte,
Bitter & Salty is, hands down, the most enjoyable WoW podcast out there, especially for those who play it “our way.”
I’ve been playing since launch, most of the time in a friends & family guild, which has now dwindled to just two of us. I miss the social aspect of a friendly, casual guild and your show has made me feel like I’m in <Bitter and Salty> even though I’m far away on Kirin Tor. So like a few recent audience members, I’ve decided to start a character on Earthen Ring. Looks like you need a pandaren warrior for the Stay Classy achievement, and that is a class I need to learn. So I’ll leave my druids at home and Weian (Way-anne) would be thrilled for the opportunity.
Also, I hate it when Mom & Dad fight about levelling challenges, so please hug a little bit in your next pre-show.
