  • Mythic Tier WoW Discussion

    I stumbled on FAZ toward the end of Dragonflight. I’ve been hooked since my first listen.

    About five years ago I was introduced to the World of Warcraft. Becoming competitive in this game, I quickly learned the importance of outside resources to enhance playing experience, but finding FAZ is so much more.

They reach a wide audience of player types, draw my attention to components of the game I hadn’t consider... more

  • Love the show!

    Listen up besties because I’m about to tell you about this show in my non-salty manny-festo.

    I look forward to this notification every week because these guys are so dang fun to listen to! Lex, Manny, and Shaun have great chemistry and knowledge on a wide range of topics in Azeroth and IRL. The show always puts a smile on my face with its fun antics and tangents.

    Can’t wait to dive into the War Within soon with y’all!

    I love y’all.

  • A Chronicle and Resource to Cherish

    Hello! I’ve been playing WoW since 2005, took a decade off (ended mid-Cataclysm) and have been full steam ahead since Dragonflight. I’ve been listening to current episodes to keep up to date, but also pouring through the archives to get the scoop on how players thought and felt about the game during the expansions I missed. It’s been a wonderful chronicle to listen through. I appreciate the different view points based on how each host plays the game, as we all have our own spin on things. Anyway... more
