We're back! Did you miss us? Well, thanks to a lock-down we are here again :D

 

Our Geeky times

Robbie

WoW: Started out BfA as my Disc priest Void Elf and got most of the reps up to Paragon/Exalted but after we finished the third raid (Eternal Palace) I needed to switch it up and went back to my Balance Druid Night Elf and have been DPSing the latest raid content. M+ a similar story. We have been getting up to +7/+8s regularly each season. We cleared our first 7 last night in fact with a Freehold (Our new home?)

Boardgame nights are still a thing thanks to the wonders of tech such as discord and tabletop games online! 

Razerbug

D&D: figured out how to get group onto Roll20/Discord, and recording sessions

WoW: raiding is a moment of sanity in an insane world, levelling warlock when I have downtime.

Topical goodness this show

How have we been coping with the lockdown? What have we been doing to pass the time or make working from home work for us? (Robbie Board Games online & Razerbug D&D online?)

What have we been watching since the last show? Excited for anything? Obviously Cinema releases seem to be on the rocks for 2020 but what are we excited for in film?

 

Bojack Horseman, Shameless US, Picard, Runaways season 2, Black Lightning S3, CW shows (batwoman writing disappointing, have we watched Crisis?) Re-watching MCU and more!
