It’s flashcast time again. In this cast, Kanta announces the Earthen Ring S.E.L.F.I.E. Contest prizes, we preview what’s coming in Episode 02, and we attempt to take selfies while on air and fail miserably.  


#SelfieSunday

Here are the selfie fails we took during the recording.

Flashcast 02 Lore Challenge: Word association time. We say “darkness incarnate,” you say…

  • Lilyia

    The destroyer of dreams? Also great episode, I never listened to the old podcasts since I was a new transfer after they went away, but I really enjoy them. Also harass Kanta for the gold I donated for the contest. ^.~

    • erlorecast

      Thanks for listening, Lilyia! Totally will poke him. Poking Kanta is half the fun.

      As for the Lore Challenge answer, you totally answered our word association with another word association, but you nailed it. “Darkness Incarnate” and “Destroyer of Dreams,” Gul’dan has a lot of nicknames. Can’t wait for him to make his move in Warlords. He is one of the most evil characters in Warcraft.

      • Lilyia

        Whoot! And thanks. Although the only reason why I knew that was because I was recently reading up on Gul’dan and Teron’Gor since my IC storyline is tied deeply with Shattrath City and Auchindoun XD Otherwise I would have been clueless *snickers* And /agree I can’t wait till they make their move should be a great story arc, or I at least hope so.

        • erlorecast

          Haha! We’ve kind of been hoping that choosing Lore Challenges related to Warlords would be helpful. A lot of these things will (hopefully) circle back in upcoming WoD patches and are in the minds of many RPers already.

          Gul’dan also may be the leading candidate for the end-game WoD boss. My guess is either him or someone from the Burning Legion that he extends an invitation to.

          • Lilyia

            I like it, its like Warcraft trivial pursuit, which is so much fun and whooped my hubby at when our power went out after a huge storm here. 😀 If you don’t have it I would highly suggest it. A few of them even stumped me but it was some gear related stuff and some lore character pertaining to some Vanilla quest.

          • erlorecast

            This sounds like an awesome future podcast idea. Will need to seek out this game. 😀

  • Veleth

    “Gul’dan… Darkness Incarnate.” ~Khadgar 2014

    • erlorecast

      Correct! Lilyia beat you by a smidgen, but bonus points for quoting the character who says it. Perhaps we should call this one a tie. 😉

      • Totally, although Veleth is more correct since he actually said Gul’dan so he should have it 😀

        • erlorecast

          You’re so giving, Lil. I think you nailing Gul’dan’s other nickname and Veleth nailing the quote speaks well for both of you. I think we need to get started on creating a leaderboard for people winning Lore Challenges. We have a lot of contenders so far!

      • Veleth

        Oh the woes of being in class, oh well! I’m really liking these, was a bit behind on the medivh and khadgar one but I was able to use it in an RP.

        • erlorecast

          Hey, Class > Warcraft. Methinks Kanta and I need to find a consistent time to post so people can plan ahead/jump in. The recent snowstorms have really put a damper on schedules. >.<

      • Jacob Kuntzman

        Actually? If I may – it wasn’t originally Khadgar who said it. “Darkness Incarnate” is what Gul’dan called himself in the Warcraft II manual. “I have assembled the Stormreaver clan to be my support when the season finally comes to strike back at Orgrim for his insolent crimes against me… That day draws near – and Doomhammer cannot know what terrors await him, for I am Gul’dan… I am darkness incarnate. I will not be denied.”
