Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Eight

Published: November 23rd 2020, 11:23:24 am

Hey peeps,

Face pains eased off so I finally managed to record and finish the next vid.

It wouldn't be a Warcraft book without a vision sequence.  But do you know what I appreciate about this book?  It gets to the point.  It's not like we're gonna spend the next 20 chapters unravelling what that vision meant.   Although, as the Outro suggests... there is more than meets the eye.

It also pays things off pretty quickly.  Like... it was only the last video where Zekhan mentioned asking Bwonsamdi about Saurfang.  

It's happened a few times actually: Chapter Two set up a mystery of 'Who pushed Zekhan' and then Chapter Three was like... 'Twas Bwonsamdi; Merry Christmas'.  It's a nice change of pace from most things nowadays that rely on that JJ Abrams Mystery Box method of storytelling.

In other news... I thought 3 days would be enough time to get through Ghosts of Tsushima but... I got distracted so many times with side stuff that I only managed to finish Act 1.  And today I'm probably gonna try and do some last minute rare grinding in Icecrown (if that's even still possible) before Shadowlands launches in approx. 11 hours and 30 minutes.  

So... gonna have to put the awesome Samurai game to one side for a bit.  I hope I'm actually able to stay awake for a while tonight.  lol.  And I hope I don't miss out on cinematics without realising it like I did when BFA launched.  They just didn't play for me.  The Nathanos / Tyrande one didn't in the pre-patch so... it's probably gonna happen again.

Anywho - Have a great week, peeps.  Hope Shadowlands is everything you want and more.  Thanks, as always, for your support.  And I'll see you in just over a weeks time in the next Early Access post.
