Because I just didn't see the messages until... Mr. Boy right there. The Grand Crusader himself. Dude, bang it, dude. Dude, if you watch any of the ranking streams, you know this guy. I need to thank you for caring about it. I got to take the whole thing. I need to thank you. That's Trevorva. Yo, what's up, dude? It's great to see everybody. Yeah, man. What's up, JP? Dude, what's up, man? Crazy, dude. Yeah, dude.  I'm Cliche. And the two rep piled in. Yeah, dude. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. So who... Who's who? Trevorva. I'm sorry. I just didn't recognize you. Of course. And Trevorva's the only one... Who else has not met before? Trevorva, I've met before. Yeah. So, yeah. I'm Nathan. I'm Alisson's brother. Oh, cool. Hell yeah. Yo, what's up, man?

It's crazy, dude. Dyer? Dyer, dude. What? I'm like... I'm so excited to see everybody. This is sick. What's up, man? It's so long for the ride. It's so long for the ride.  I'm so... This is so exciting for me. I love seeing you guys.  Because, like... So, Crusade, we had one, like, mini Crusade meet-up whenever a classic launched. But I was, like, right after... We were all playing. So, like, almost nobody came, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, classic... Like, classic originally launching and then that BlizzCon. So, like, people really didn't know each other that well. Yeah, dude. This is sick. Like... This is so... Hi, Molly. Hey, hey, hey. I'm so cool, like, seeing everybody. Did you meet in Germany? Yeah, yeah. So, in Germany, I actually met...  There you go. You know me. Yeah, we met at the last 2019 BlizzCon. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's sick. Yeah. This is so sick. I'm so glad to see everybody. It's surreal, man. It's surreal. It's so cool. This is so great, dude. You had to come through.  Yeah, man.  So, who... who did not meet yet? Did you not meet? Have I met everyone else? So, yeah. Hexy, what's up, dude? Heck yeah, dude, this is cool. You don't know. I'm Mitch. I'm in grade seven. I'm sorry. Okay, cool. You're in your band. That's cool. That's great, dude. Hell yeah. We're in the red head of strip crowd. No, it's all good, dude. No, dude.  How's Convin for the Grand Crusader? Dude, it isn't a long stop. Yeah. I was trying to do all the panels and I was trying to... I was trying to, like, stream Reacts to a tune and, like, I came up with that whole system. But, like... I got to stream it. I played it with the dibs. Dude, the red's disgusting. Is Sealed Twisting back? So, there's no Sealed Twisting for command to martyr. Yeah. But, uh... I talked to one of the devs and one of the devs introduced me to one of the other devs and he was like, this is the guy you need to talk to about Sealed Twisting and everything. So, like, I think they're open to it. Dude, it would be sick. Sorry. My bad. Yeah. Wait, hang on a second. I'm gonna... Whoa! Great mechanics. Like, look at that. Damn. I was telling Trevor to teach you what he would just do. Is that how you do this guy that I don't like? What? Dude, this is such a cool experience for me, dude. Finally getting to meet everybody, dude. So cool, man. So cool, dude. Hell yeah. How long has Grissé been at Gale? Like, how long have we all been reading it now? Well, literally day one. Yeah. Yeah, because, like, because we started at Gale day one, I think what we did was I had Firehand or I had a... Alipon. Yeah, Alipon. Yeah. I had Alipon go and... Yeah. Because he's like one of my first mods on Twitch. Yeah. So, like, Alipon, I was like, okay, you need to go and you need to, like, get a bunch of people to, like, make characters and, like, sell their gear to, like, just get the minimum gold first, the minimum amount of gold you need first.  Because, like, I had the name Grissé ready, but I'm like, it's not that creative of a name. So, like, somebody might take it. So I didn't announce it. And then he coordinated having everybody go and sign the charter and, yeah. So that's how we got it started. And he stood up surplus, right? And that's how a lot of us... All of us came in, bro. Alipon is a man by the way. I love Alipon. Yeah, dude. I wish he was gonna be here. I wish he could have made it. I know, dude. Really good guy. I love him. I love him. I love when he gave Aspen the DFT for us. Other than that. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. Yeah, that was the whole, that was the whole thing. Because I remember, like, the idea was, is we started surplus raid and I was like, dude, we can't get... My worry was that we can't fill a raid and we were like, okay, well, if me and Aspen do a raid together, we'll be able to fill it. And then I was like, what are the chances that DFT drops? Like, I'm like, it's zero. It's not gonna... And then it dropped, like, that week and I'm like, you gotta be shitting me. You're so toxic. I'm taking it so bad. It's so funny.  It was like... It was one of those things that we just took the risk and we were like, I mean... And who knows, maybe we could have just filled the raid without them, but it is what it is. Nah, it was poetic, because pride ended up crying. Pride ended up crying, so... Aspen, you remember that night?  There was a whole guild meeting over here. That was the biggest draw. That was probably... That was just one of those times where I was like... I have to... It was like a calculated risk and it was just... It was just literally like the 0% chance that it happens. I was like... She was actually like a 2% drop. Like literally... It's DFT, so... But yeah, I'm so like... I say it all the time, but I'm just so happy and proud of the guild and the whole... The fact that everybody is like... It's just cool. It's branched off too. We all play other games together now. It's crazy in a relationship. We've met up like IRL before. Yeah. He was 16 years old. I remember. And now he's like an adult. Yeah. I remember. Mirza said he was 16 and I was like... Right there. Yeah. It's just so cool that like... Yeah, you can't play WoW anymore.  I'm going to go to school now. Yeah. Oh, dude, that's so sick. Man. Can I buy you drinks? I can probably use a water. That's probably what I need. I feel bad. People still like... By the way, Clover says hi. She can't be here. Yeah. I think it's because of her dogs. Yeah, her dogs were... She said her dog's in a surgery or something like that. Yeah, yeah, it's not good. This is crazy. It's actually surreal. That's the word. It's surreal. Did you hear everyone's voice in disguise? Yeah. But then you get to see them. It's crazy. I always thought OG was going to be a creature. And I saw him and I was like, you're good looking, dude. It was almost at that point. I thought you were going to be a creature.  Like, some of who I really loved playing classic with. Like, just so I can't believe we left his basement. That's how it goes, dude. Look at him. I'm all right. I'm not bad. I'm not too bad. JP's looking like a cop. The stash in the glasses?  There we go. Our CD.  There we go. No, dude, I'm like... For me, it's like something that's so... It's very rewarding. You know? Because it's like, damn. Like, we put a guild together. It kind of feels good.  Dude, COVID hit it at the perfect time. It really did. We were talking about that earlier. COVID was the perfect storm. Or maybe making it out of work.  Yeah, dude, for real. That's crazy, dude. It starts getting real different in rap. I know we were talking about the ratings in PvP. Like, it's just so inflated now. It's like 3150 per class. It's ridiculous. I'm excited for a season of discovery. I don't think it's gonna be on its own really good, but it's classic plus beta. It looks really cool. It looks great, actually. How do you feel?  It looks good. That's all I need to see. Oh, yeah, you have another fellow paladin right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tony and I first met in... So did Tony owe you... We were a McConnell viewer. And then I did something... Logan at one point. We did double-wreck, like, BFB. Yeah, yeah. So it's like... That's what it was. It was... But it was on McConnell's stream when we first met, right? You were at the stadium. At the time. Yeah. It was a long time ago. I want to run it back. We should get, like, the guilt back together and just do, like, just own Ashenvale. Like, this is our job. We just own Ashenvale. That would be sick. Dude, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Coalition with Van Barclan again. They're all simping for clovers. Yeah, dude. I just had to put the Grand Crusader on the back. And then he had to go get his bug mount. He had to go get it. Is anybody watching Blacksmith? Is anybody watching Blacksmith? No, you were literally saying they're talking to Chad. He's on the green screen doing it. On the green screen doing it.  And I'm like, Ashen, you motherfucker!   Dude, that was so funny, man. Man, I miss... I do actually, it's funny, because, like, while we were ranking, I was like miserable at the end of it. But, like, I look back on it, and I'm like, damn. That was actually fun. If it wasn't for Chad, who randomly would meet me at a BV, I'd be like, you're the guy who just yells at the time.  You know what sucks, though? It's like, whenever the copy to Classic Era happened, I didn't... I should have copied the Guild Bank. I didn't copy the Guild Bank. So I bought it on Classic Era, and I, like, just wanted to play the level 6 character. I had no mana pots or anything. I should have carried me to Guild Bank over it. So I would have had, like, potions and flasks. I didn't copy over my house. Yeah. It's okay, though. I think season discovers things. Yeah. We go again. We go again. We start fresh. We're rooting for pandemic. Everyone has everything figured out on Wildhead. Any bets? A week? That's the beauty of it. Everything's on Wildhead. So we get to discover for the... He's saying, how long? I think... I think most of it. I think most of it will get figured out really fast. And then there's going to be random stuff that people will find out, like, three or four months. Oh, wait. Hell yeah. Send me a message on Discord a while ago. Oh, about Fortnite. He's doing a map, right? He's so shameless that he's trying to promote his... Dude, you want to know how... You want to know how Hell yeah joined the Guild? Yes.  He was playing a prop Paladin at the time. Because he had a prop Paladin at the age. It was a toward prop Paladin. And he just had this random ragtag gear, and he wasn't a Guild, and I saw him outside Iron Forge. And he was like, yeah, I just, like, trying to play prop Paladin. I was just talking over it, and I was like, and that was like just a random, like, two or three weeks in a classic, or maybe it was like a month or something. Yeah, just with random level, 60 more prop Paladin with no Guild.  And we still talk to him every day. He's in Discord right now, like with everybody else. Yeah, he made his night-night night for sure. It's just cool though, like, it's just like the random interactions he had with people and like individually, like, oh yeah, I should randomly invite somebody, and then they're in the Guild four years later. Here we go, there's no way, hell yeah, Lord. Like the cherry right here. Toasty was one of my first viewers on YouTube. Yeah. Like this is like almost seven years ago. Toasty's a legend. That guy is a really good human being. Really good guy, dude. Shout out Grinch for Grinch, too. Shout out Toasty. Toasty's an OG, too. He's been playing for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  He's so bad. Really good guy, though. Toasty's a legend. Legend. You know, it's funny. I got a shout out Alipon for this. You brought up the ASMR, but you're not going to talk about the karaoke night's room? I wasn't there for the karaoke. The Alipon karaoke night?  It would just be like, and you'd be like explaining a boss, and then you'd hear the crinkling. It was like... We'd be like, no, we're just going to do that. No, Starpless was just drink, brew, come raid, and then karaoke for four hours. It was the best. It was literally the best. Bro, having to heal this guy trying to tank Firemall, while he's screaming out for it. Hey, mate, next to the bed! I could just rip goddamn PI. That's right, dude. Yeah, dude. Spamming King. Spamming King. Spamming King. Oh, my gosh, that's so funny, dude. Dude, we tried to get... That was the admin DFT raid, I'm really sure. It might have been, dude. That was like, we tried so hard, we were like, okay, we've got to get a full, like, Firemall and tank of BWF.  Raigel is here. Yeah, that's me, yeah. Dude, Raigel. Was it Raigel who banned Pirashima? No, Pirashima! Oh, my gosh. Well, what was it? Silithous comp. Okay, so check this out. So, here's what happened. Or was it Asheron's call? No, no, no. Asheron's was always cool. He would be, people, but Asheron's was always like, he never did anything. He said something about my voyage record, but I popped off. Asheron's would be people, but he never did anything. They banned multi-boxing. So that was like his big thing, but the... Pirashima, Silithous comp. So this is a good story. We were doing the AQ opening grind. We were doing the AQ opening grind and we were getting scarab lords and all that stuff. Somebody in the guild goes, and they were, because we kept having to do, like, call the arms. Like, okay, well, Hogi's here again, call the arms, and there's, like, a whole, like, fumigation that happens constantly. We're like, people would come into the hives and we have, okay, we got to go and we got to clear them out.  But then people would get their spots and crouched on them. So then when they got their spots and crouched on them, you'd have to move. So we kept doing this, like, okay, call the arms, get Crusade out there, and we had, like, the juice, right? And, uh... No, we're good. So because we had the juice, you know, we basically could go and we could clear out a whole hive. Now... Oh, you're talking about the scare of Lord? No, I'm talking about... Dude, sorry about that. We'll talk about Crusade's Silvus Comps. Oh, dude, bro, I remember it. So one of the things that's happening is somebody in the guild was upset about the fact that we kept having to do a call. And now I get it, everybody knows that it was annoying, but, like, we just kind of had to do it. It was, like, part of the game. But one guy, like, was really pissed at all, called Crusade Silvus Comps. And they're streaming... They're streaming our voice comms of us, like, meet... Like, we're literally having a meeting and it's, like, war strategy. And I'm like, okay, we got to move here. If this guy moves here, we have to go there. We have to do this. Corn is all kinds of crazy stuff, right? So somebody messages me and I'm like, okay, so here's what I do. I start talking, and when I'm talking, I go through the entire Discord. And I'm like, right-click, deafen. And then I'm listening, and I'm like, right-click, deafen. Right-click, deafen, and then I'm deafen. Everybody for, like, a few seconds at a time. And then whenever it would deafen, and then I would be like, okay, it stopped. I caught the rat. And then I'm like, I don't know who was talking. It might have been Clovers or whatever was, like, talking. And then I'm like, Clovers, hold on. Fear Shima, why the hell do you think it's okay to be streaming the comms, dude? And I was, like, dude, I... We kicked him on the spot. It was done. Yeah, dude, it was so...  He was really upset about it.  But you know what, though? He apologized. Like, after the bag, he apologized. He was like, yeah, that was shitty. And, like, we're all good. But at the time, like, oh, my God. Dude, I was livid. I was so mad. Because I was like...  We were trying to get three or four mounts.  Clovers could have got a mount, too. She just ran the BWL with Aber, but if she ran her own, she had the things. My biggest regret, dude, my biggest regret, actually, is the fact that we didn't get Clovers' mount because I underestimated how many mounts we could get. We had so many resources.  It's literally us. Like, if we didn't do it, we opened it week one because of our guild. So it's like, we carried the server and then other guilds were being selfish and getting their own stuff.  I'll never forget. We were ranking. He banged us Joe. We were literally ranking. Were you there, too? No, no, no. We were ranking to Friday, Saturday. No. Because I ranked overnight with the Chinese. Yes. So I slept like two hours and a half. I mean, Ted. You remember Ted comes with a voice call. Hey, guys, call the arms. Who needs you guys instead of this? The only time I was like... Bankers is like, bro, what do you see?  Dude, it was so awesome. Dude, I remember China made, dude. I was like, I remember all day. They were good. I ran with them, too. Tarot Bay, Tarot. Tarot was sick. I liked Tarot. Tarot Bay was sick. No, because you would do the comms. The comms were so crazy. You would be speaking straight Chinese. And then you would just switch over English. And then translate. I don't think I streamed. I didn't stream that. And I wish I did. You guys want to see this guy? Literally, this guy ran the Chinese pre-made. He was in LA, but he grew up in China and spoke very fluent Chinese. So he would do the late night shift. So I went and I ranked with these guys. I got 500,000 honor in two days, which is impossible. But it's because I slept two hours. I would go all day with the normal group. And then I was like, okay, it's time for China shift. And then I'd go and I would join the Chinese. Right, the Chinese. It's rocking it. And this guy, he would make the calls. He would give a full set of calls in English. And then he'd make a full set of calls in Chinese. And if somebody had to communicate with somebody, he would be, I would say something, for example, like, hey, there's a rogue in a druid coming mines or something.  And the guy might be like a Chinese warlock. And then he'd be like, he would repeat what I said in Chinese to the warlock. So he would know. So funny, man.   Dude, ranking was just like, the vibe was different. Because of COVID and everything.  I would come in on Saturdays and Sundays when the healers wouldn't be. I remember one night, it was like 3 a.m. That's when I was like, yo, we need a mage. I was in like blood vine. Yeah. No stamina, bro. I was like, two kids there. And then from there we went we just went crazy. I guess it was just up to base. Okay, so I couldn't tell anybody. I couldn't tell anybody. I was ranking while we were starting OTK. So I'd be like, I'm in a phone call. I have a meeting, I can't be in Discord. And literally, Jabor was right. I would be in a call with like Asmin and TIPS and we were literally building OTK while I'm ranking. People would be pissed because they're like, dude, why is Esmin not in comms? Yeah.  That's where we'd be pissed at.  What would happen is because normally, like, my role normally was straight blacksmith or lumber mill down. But then I'd be like, I'm in a call. Yeah, I was like, I was like, hey, we taught. So what would we do? He was. He actually was. They would just focus target Esmin. Yeah. And they just all follow. They're like, oh, Esmin.   Exactly, because what I would do is if Ben is right, I would go, I'd stay on my mount and I would just run past the flag and I'd go to the bridge on the horn side at Lacksmith and they would just be like, they'd loop back to chase me. People go after Faker. People go after Esmin.  I'm going to go, I'm going to run this way. Everyone comes around the back. It was so funny. I was like, I'm going to rez and I'm going to bubble and I can't know anything about it. But they would chase me and then the whole rest of the guild would rez and go the other way. And so everybody would survive and it was sick. Yeah, it was sick. That's like a dream. I think that's the one thing I'm like, I'll go back. As soon as they said that I was like, I'm going back. That was peak COVID. So it was like perfect. It was peak COVID. It was really perfect. There was like, it was perfect. And then you met the homies and then it was just like the best feeling ever. Hark's in chat too. Now, Hark and I were like living the pro-Paladin dream as well. I lived in Hark in a buttercury. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the Paladin playing dream just wasn't a thing in class. It was the taunt. You said it. It was a no-taunt. It was a no-taunt. Your taunt was Spam Kings on the most number of people in the raid. The most number of class in the raid. That was your taunt. I love Bob somebody. Brass wave. Sapper. I feel like the original grind before there was like any BGs or anything, you know. Oh, Frostmage.  And then Joker made it popular. I feel like after that, we made it. We had those strats. We had those strats. Dude, we had so much. I swear. I wish. I thought about this. I should make like a chain of like the art of war. Because we had like strats in like world peace. We were like, okay, we need to loop around and like the comms were like, okay, we need to loop. We need to loop. We were like eight seconds. Yeah. That was peak world TVP. There's nothing else. There's no other way to get honored. So you just have to go crazy. We had like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, oh my god. It was so much fun. Like you just had to be creative.  It's like, hopefully everyone's watching the stream and everyone shows up and you can just like farm mass kills. You know, you know what's the one, like the thing that I remember the most was, remember in Felwood, this was like early classic, when in Felwood, Staysave's Guild starts getting camped by Hoagie. For the Zongbao.   And then Staysave's Guild is getting camped. And then like, Hoagie just keeps coming in and they can start killing them. Do you remember this? At the beginning of Feralina, Staysave's Guild is getting camped in Felwood. And then all of a sudden it was like it turned into this thing where it's like, dude, we need crusade.  And like, I don't know, three, four minutes later, it's like, we come in just riding in our mouths and it was just this massive war broke out. The entire server is in Felwood and we push the horde back all the way into Ogremor and we crash the server. This is like phase one. Because you joined later. I joined later. I think we did that to Hoagie and Max too. Yeah, one of them actually launching and they were on the mushrooms. Yeah, dude. Yo, we need you over here and everyone just shows up. You see like the train of all the Gryffins flying is so sick. You can be a world PvP though. That's part of the game. When you're on a PvP server, that's half the thing. Three, two, one, go. Everyone else, three, two, one, go. Yeah, dude. You're so fast. The World Bosses was sick. The World Bosses were just born in alliance like 500 at a time. Oh my god. Nothing beats that. I swear to god. Literally nothing beats that at all. That I think was peak classic. Peak wow. Oh my gosh. I just remember this is quit, I think. Because it was a Q40 launch. Yeah, that was that. And remember we got Thunder on. Who got there at Thunderfury? Was that Hemvard? Was that Hemvard's Thunderfury? Welcome to the Thunderdome. Oh, where we dragged him. Yeah, where we kited him. Ali Fun was kiting for like, I think it might have been Hemvard actually. I think it was. We kited Thunder on. The guy at Thunderfury. We kited him all the way from north-sill of this into one of the hives and we unleashed him on a raid of horn and killed everybody. He chained Lightning and went through the entire cave and it was so funny.  It was sitting out through the cave. It was a video.  Welcome to the Thunderdome. It's like 10, but like, all of a sudden it's kind of like, it's coming in like four weeks. Are we going to be doing that? Yo, that was really sick, by the way. I actually didn't get to tell you. That was one of the sickest dual tournaments ever. Overall, viewership is the most beautiful element ever. You know what would be really sick? If you do that again on a solo cell phone server where you can't trade at all. Well, so here's what happened. That would be sick. Four piece played, bro. Dude, he's not kind of owned. He helped us. Did he play Hunter at all? Never. He said the whole time. He had like ten Hunter duals like his whole life. I should have shot him a message. It was cool seeing like, Fooch made it to the finals. Fooch made it to the finals. Yeah, and then seeing Piece played and made it to the finals. Dude, my editor Gordax made it to the finals. Gordax made it. Gordax could have won by that. I remember seeing him live. He made a mistake. Gordax, he could have won. He didn't have enough gear, but like, it was so impressive. He did something we didn't see anybody else do. He opened up the rocket helm and started spamming Sunders without attacking. So you can Sunder people without breaking the rocket. I didn't even know that. I didn't even know you could do that. But he had no gear, that's the thing. He got some gear. So we were farming GRD for a year. Whatever the arena, the chest case for the arena, oh my god.  Oh my god, we farmed that so long. I remember, I personally win for like two weeks, every night. I was just spamming GRD to get this thing. And it would not drop. And eventually I was like, you know what? We can split run it. And well, that's the thing, I was like, I was high running so hard.  I'm like, dude, we should have just knocked it out and just right been in there. Because we got it, we did it for mad season first. Remember? Because we did it for mad season. And then we were like, no, do it for me first and mad season. I don't remember, we did it eventually. We did it for me and for mad season. But what we did was we ran four man GRD runs to goat and we got the rare spawn. Oh, he's in. Okay, joined that and we kept rotating. So we get five runs like every hour. Just to make sure you got every item you could possibly think of to test everything thoroughly.   We had like, oh my gosh. What was up? Something happened. Oh, the reset. We didn't kill Rage, right? And then it reset on us.   We did. No, but like, it was apparently a bug. But like instance items or something that has existence since the beginning and classic and has like the smallest fraction of a percentage of chance to happen and like they've never fixed it. I think they still said they didn't fix it after having us. There's some of those that happen that like, you can't explain. You can get the best people on it. You can get millions of people on it trying to reproduce it and it just doesn't happen. I had it because we ended up getting basically a week one lockout worth of raid gear because we got everything caught rack and pretty good at it. Onslaught girl was insane. Because the Onslaught girl dropped in my way in the first one. Did you get it? It was the first one and then it was Naxa. You remember Naxa? I do remember Naxa. I'm like, hey, I'll pass it to you.  He's like, no, dude, you deserve it. You deserve it. Are you sure? I'm like, let's roll for it. He's like, no, I'm not rolling. So then I'm like, okay, I'll take it. And then everybody was like cool grads and everybody in other guilds were like so pissed. How could he think? I remember being so... People were like so mad.  I remember him telling me the whisper on the side saying you're going to kick him out of the guild. Dude, it was so like... It's so big. The amount of people that get upset and offended for other people is insane. Because here's the thing, if we were bad at doing mood, if we were bad at organizing or whatever, this wouldn't be here today. If we had bad leaders, this wouldn't be here. That's what I say all the time. I'm like, the first six runs of the guild existing was an nightmare because I did everything. But then tech and coverage, everybody stepped up and I got so lucky by having such good leaders surrounding us in the guild. That's like... Hell yeah. The thing is, since Wrath came out, I didn't know he still played the game. I do. I log in and I run around and I'm like... I don't log out. Yeah, so... If you want that experience of like a nice, you know, reality show, all you got to do is just go back to the loot council. It just takes care of itself. True. Yeah. Sot is going to be sick though. I think he's going to describe he's going to be nice. Well, he was Sot. I thought you said Sot. I thought you said Sot. What did you say? Season of discovery. Season of discovery. It could be good. It could be good. That's the thing. It could be. I think it could be good. I think it's a good test. I think... I think my real concern with Season of Discovery is if they try too hard to make it like... what they end up trying to do makes it too much like retail. Where it's like everybody is too good now. Everyone has too much. You don't want everybody to be too good. You want everybody to have just like a little bit more. That was the beauty of class. That's how you use 40 people. Level 25 cap or time gating it or whatever. No, but think about it though. You get to experience the game again without a this list. That everyone knows what it is. You get to go in like, oh, what's this thing? Oh, that's kind of cool. Maybe this is better. What's that new item? I don't know. And then you get to do that for a couple of months. Sure, things go on while there. There's guides, whatever. But then the next thing comes out and you get this nice cadence of what you do and it plays more like a live service like seasonal thing. At least for the next few or however it's kind of pan out. But I think it's actually better. I think it's a good idea. This is what I wish would have happened is I do wish they said they'd be at either end, but I kind of wish they had picked something that was less like multi-door. Because it's kind of multi-door. I was thinking I think they should have done I think they should have done I think they should have done I think the next one is SM I kind of wish they had done I said, hey, Shadow and Keep would have been sick. I think that's a little more like iconic than SM would be. Yeah. That's it. So it would be cool. I think a lot of boss is in that and it's okay that you could like do some wild stuff with it. Maybe it's a case so good on its own that it didn't want to change. That could be true. I want them to like cleanse the ashware. I want a question to cleanse the ashware. Why not? A legendary or something would be sick. Why not? You could do it. I think it would be sick. Who knows?  No, no. He says it's not an outlet. Man, he says it's not an outlet. Who cares? I gave all the cleanse and ashware just to lay it in. You think so, but like Meredith is like pretty strict sometimes. Now I've seen your lore was sick. When you walk in SM with it and then it changes. I love it. I see. Yeah, I was going to say he says it's an outlet. Yeah, right here, right now. He just grows up a little bearded. He's got to put your just don't shave for a while. I mean, I can get pretty physical. Carry? Yes. I mean, I can get full beard, I can say. I can't see now. I can see now. I tweeted this earlier, but it's like they kept saying they kept talking about 30 years of Warcraft today and I was like I know. Stop saying it. I get it. Yeah, no. Just on behalf of you. Yeah, thanks. I really appreciate it. It's cool. We're going to this journey. Are we going? Okay. We don't expect it. Yeah. No, it's okay. No. Yeah. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah. You know what they call me? I don't know why. One time, I thought I was muted. My mom called me. I'm like, I'm a Khubbi. Khubbi is so funny. So now my name is Khubbi Khubbi. It's so funny. Yeah, you can't do that. No, it's fine. It's all good. I'm just happy to see you. I'm just happy to see you. It's all good. It's all good. In the next season, we'll bring you good. And I'll bring back the old man. I'm calm down. I've turned over New League. Very nice.    He's still the same dude. That's all right. No, I know. I don't want to do that. What's that? What's that? What's that? Nice to see you. Thank you. Thank you. That was nice. He might know. He's got a ball inside. I'll tell you. He's such a good man. I know, but he might hear it. You're insane. Where are you? You're in jail. This is so fulfilling for me. It's made me so happy. Just to hold you like this. You were friends. You know what I mean? It genuinely means the world to me. Four years. Four years. I know two genders. Where is Ali for the world? He's very inspired. Next year, next year. I get this. You genuinely are just so happy. It's amazing to see everybody. That's great. The only thing that I miss you.  I just have one favor. I just want to get a picture of that. I want to get a picture of that. Do you like a Last Supper? Doing a Last Supper would be hilarious. Should we do it live? Can we even fit everyone early? On one side of the table. And then you're in the center. Good times. We're going to take a picture of that. Good times. Thank you. Thank you. Good times. It means somebody. Everybody. And then it's important. I'm hanging out with him. I will. Just DM me. You know what I mean? You should have done that.  He just paid for our whole dinner. Why do you do that? Why? Because you guys met me? That's why. I will. I will. I will. I do it all the time. I just want to get a picture. We should get a picture. We found you guys. I was wondering if you had any tips for a newer streamer. I'm just starting out. What are you streaming? I've been streaming Baldur's Gate. I want to start streaming Overwatch. And I've done a little bit of Dead by Daylight. I'm like a month and a half old. Really big thing for games like that. I would say if you can get some good clips and make shorts, TikTok, YouTube shorts, Instagram reels, content like that is really, really valuable for games like that. If it's a more community-centric game, like, wow, it's better to get involved in a community and be like, if you become a person of interest in a community-centric game, people will tune in because they're like, who's this jackass playing a rep now? It just kind of grew from there. Games like that, when you do something funny or you have some cool thing that you do, that's what I would say. That's the best way to grow on Twitch, just not on Twitch right now. That makes sense. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. I'm worried. Cool, got it. Changes in the front, right? No mages in the front. Changes in the front. Changes in the front. Changes in the front. Okay. This guy plays a no-mage. I'm a no-mage. Let's, uh... We'll line up. Please, you gotta lay down. Please, you gotta lay down. Please, you gotta lay down. Oh, yeah, sure. Come on, man. I don't know. You got it. You got it. Sorry, Michael. I'm sure you're right. Push it in, push it in. Hey, goddammit, man. I thought I was short. Get down. One, two, three. One more time. One, two, three. You're like, where's the picture? Where's the picture? He's been doing this all night. He's gone for a picture.  Who be? Who be? Now you see where it goes. Okay, so... I will meet back up with you guys later, for sure. Okay, yeah. Thank you so much. Yeah, no, for sure. No, 100%. I was just like, I'm so happy. You drink, he is about to be... All the mages, I'll have the same energy. I did. Mages are crackheads, dude. That's what I said. All the mages have the same energy. He's saying we'll have the same energy. Who be? It's crazy. Okay, okay, some mages have the same energy. They all have the same energy. We switched, we switched. I'm a human. I have you guys. Oh, okay, all right. It wasn't no. Yeah, it was a male. Yeah, it was the three little no mages. It was all those people here. We weren't three no mages. We're getting in character, you know. We run it back in season of Discovery. Yeah, there we go. Female no mages. Doing it together and hanging out. It actually means so much to me. It really does. I'm hitting it. All right, brother. We want to go, we're going to be over at the Sharon Inn. That thing's probably going to have to go. I'm going to be jumping. Jump, take a picture of it.  We're out of mana. We got to go recharge, you know what I mean? Yeah, dude. I'm so glad to see everybody. It's actually sweet. Yeah, dude. Should I see you again soon? Yeah, dude. Whoo. Do I got to go low, too? Take a flash. Take a flash. He's the camera guy, I don't know what's going on. You said you were taking it. First, step it up. Very awesome. You're going to love it then. I will, I will. Yeah, dude, it's cool seeing you man. It's just crazy. Everything dude, everything. The first two hours for me, I was like, that's him, that's the guy from Discord. That's his voice. It was crazy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll see you guys soon. Bye. That makes me so happy. It actually like... It actually like makes me so happy, dude. Like, such a baby. So much went into that guilt, man. So it's like... What is wrong with me? I'm crying about a wild guilt. And there's so many more people that couldn't make it, but like it just... It's seeing so many people be so like happy and making friends and like just building relations with people over the course of like four years through COVID and do like everything that happened, man. Like, it's... I'm such a baby. I don't want to make it emotional.  Dude, I'm just so happy to see how happy everybody is, man. It really means the world to me, dude. It's so like...  I'm just so proud of everybody, man. Oh, yeah. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Thanks, man. So much went into it. Chad, I was lying. I was lying.

Esvandel, hearts in the chat. And I'll see you guys later. See you guys later. Bye.


Hey everybody, welcome to the Waldoch Way. I'm Jessica, and today's video is going to be all about our morning basket for middle school. Now, if you have been here any length of time and you know that we have done morning basket for approximately five years, and our morning baskets have changed about, I don't know, four to five times a year, probably anywhere from every month to every three months, and they have almost always, always been themed. They've either been themed around a holiday, around something Emily was interested in, or around what we were currently learning, and that worked best for us then. This year, we're gonna try something different. We are going to keep the same morning basket for the whole year, all of 2023, 2024, maybe even all of middle school, we'll see, and it is not going to be themed. I know, gasp. Emily and I sat down together and we decided it was time for a change, and so this is that change. I'm gonna be sharing everything that is going to be in our morning basket, although I'm going to go ahead and tell you, chances are this is not going to be happening in the morning, and now that Emily has gotten a little older, she prefers to do her independent work in the morning, and then typically we have lunch and then do our morning basket or basket time or whatever you want to call it. And so this is what we will be doing during that time. Basket time, morning basket, morning meeting, whatever you would like to call it has always been the way that Emily and I connect the foundation for our day, and that isn't changing even though some other things are changing. While she may be doing her independent work first, basket time, or again, whatever you wanna call this, is still going to be the first thing we do together, so it is still allowing us to be able to connect. It's giving us the ability to go down rabbit trails, to follow wherever that may lead, and also kind of lay the foundation for what our school day together is going to look like. So without further ado, let me show you what's going to be in it, and as I'm showing you that, I will kind of explain how we're gonna be utilizing these resources, and then if you are interested, let me know down in the comments, and we could probably do a morning time with us if you wanna see what this is gonna look like in action. Okay, so the first thing that I have is what I'm calling kind of our life skills, and that includes four different books. We will not be using these all at the same time. We will rotate through them. The first one is our mindfulness for teens. It is 10 minutes a day exercises. There are about 60 exercises in here, and then we have the life skills for tweens. This is everything a preteen should know to be a brilliant teenager, and then we have money skills for teens, which is everything a teenager should know about personal finance, and we have success skills for middle schoolers, which is the essential middle school survival guide. Now, my plan, unless I say my plan very, very loosely, is to kind of alternate through these that might look like one exercise out of here and then a chapter out of each of these, so maybe we get through each of these like one section in a week, but if Emily is not feeling that and she's feeling one more than the other, I'm okay with completely finishing one, and then moving on. Because we're going to keep the same thing in there all year, I know we will have plenty of time to get through these, and we may even keep all of this stuff in there for all of middle school, in which case we have three years to get through this. So I'm in no rush. I think all of these things are really important, but that is kind of like what I'm calling this section is life success skills, and we'll be using these for that. Okay, then we also have the two truths and a lie books. There are three in the series. We have the It's Alive, the Forces of Nature, and the Histories and Mysteries, and basically there are like stories or sections to this book. So for example, like A or chapter one is over a thousand years ago, and then there's three stories within that chapter. So story A is Mammoth Cave's Mystery Walker, story B is Holy Moller's, and story C is a curse on all thieving bathers. So two of those stories are true and one is alive. So this section of our morning time that we'll include these, I'm calling Logic Skills. I really want her to kind of start to learn that you can't believe everything you hear and you can't believe everything you read and know how to critically think for herself because of that. So again, I have no preference on which one of these we do. If Emily's interested in one over the other, we'll start there. If she wants to jump around, that's fine, they will all be in the basket and she can pick and choose from these as she wishes. And then for what I guess we will call our language, I have two different things that we will alternate between the Best of the Mad Libs books. We've been doing this for a while. We're probably about a quarter of the way through. This is one of Emily's favorite things. I will say what we do now though, that she's a little bit older as we alternate. So she'll do one as far as me giving her the words and her writing and then we swap and she gives me the words and I write it. That way we're kind of getting to do something that's not just potty humor when I'm giving the words and also she's practicing writing and spelling as well. And then the dictionary of idioms. I love the idea of this. Emily is very literal, very, very literal. And figurative language is somewhat difficult for her but it doesn't come the easiest and then she always wants to know why. Like why is that even a saying? So this is more than 700 sayings and expressions and I'm just going to, let's see. Dot your eyes and cross your T's. Okay, that is the saying. There's a sentence using it. Mrs. Potter wants us to proofread our papers and dot the I's and cross the T's. The meaning of that is to take great care over details. The origin of that is an expression similar to this first appeared in books in the early 1500s. If you want good penmanship, you better be careful with things like the dots over the I's and the lines crossing the T's. Today this wildly used saying refers to being extremely thorough by paying close attention to details and whatever you do. So we can talk about figures of speech and figurative language. She can learn them to help expand her writing and make her writing richer, but we can also address that primal need that she has to know why, where it originated and what it means. And so my plan again, plan is to alternate these two. So like one day we'll read and I'm thinking we'll probably read a page. There are about three of the figures of speech per each page. So we'll probably just read a page and talk about them. So like one day we'll do the idioms and then one day we'll do a mad lib. And so a week might look like on Monday us doing this, on Tuesday us doing this with me writing, on Wednesday us doing this, on Thursday us doing this with her writing and on Friday us doing this again. That's my plan and the idea I have for these. Okay, and then I have a few things that are just like daily things. So the first one I have is the my year of nature. Nature study is our one thing this year. And so I thought this would be a great thing to add to our morning time. It is just 365 nature-inspired activities and they are things like you're in the desert and you look up to see a bird flying above you to scribe it. Is it big or small? Does it seem friendly or frightening? Tarantulas can survive without food for more than two years. Draw a scrumptious meal for this hungry tarantula. So it's a little bit of creative writing and drawing but I thought it was a great way to bring some nature into our morning time and it gives her kind of something to do while I'm reading some of the other things. Then we have the word of the day. So we will literally just read this each day. So we'll just turn to, I don't know, let's say, it is August 22nd and it's Paradoglia which is the tendency to see a specific or meaningful image in a random visual pattern and then it gives kind of a sentence and a definition for that. Then we have on this day in history and so you just turn to that day. I happened to turn to August 20th and 21st and we'll just read that page. And then we have everything under the sun. One of you, I don't know who, suggested this to go with the on this day in history and I love the idea of it. It's a question and answer every day for the year. So for example, on June 29th, the question is why are tortoises so slow? Let's see the question on October 5th is how does lava harden? October 6th, why does it hurt so much when you bang your elbow? November 16th, why are tortoises green and brown? November 28th, why do birds run away from humans? So just a lot of very interesting questions and answers. And then the last kind of daily thing I have is poetry and it is Tiger Burning Bright, which is an animal poem for every day of the year. We have the nature version of this and we've done it and loved it. So I thought the animal version would be fun. It is just quick little short poems, but beautiful illustrations. And then the last few things that I have in the actual morning basket are the brain quest trivia cards for sixth grade, a puzzle a day, and some fitness dice. And then also some things that I would like to see us do during our morning time is some sort of current events, which right now I am still trying to figure out which way we're gonna go with that. There is like weekly junior newspaper that gets sent, weekly. I kind of like the idea of having something physical that's not a screen, but then we also have World Watch News, CNN 10, and then there's also a current events app. I'm at podcasts that I could use the app for. But again, I don't know which way I'm gonna go because I kind of like the idea of not having to have a screen, not because I dislike screens, not because I don't want Emily to use screens, but because I don't wanna use a screen because the minute I pick up a phone or a tablet, I get distracted by notifications and social media and emails and I don't want that to happen during our morning time because that's like our thing. So we'll see. If we do one of the things that's a screen, I may just use her tablet for that so that I'm not distracted by notifications. And then also we will probably play a really quick two player game to kind of round it out. I did not pick specific ones. We have a spot, actually that's right here behind me and these drawers back here where we keep like the really quick two player games or things that play well as two players like Spotted, Blockus, Canoodle Heads Ahead, those kinds of things, chess, although chess isn't always that quick, but we keep those things back there so I can easily just say, hey, we have time to play a game, just go grab one. So that is what's in our morning time. My plan for all of this is if she needs to get some wiggles out, we will start with the fitness dice. I will basically hand her after that the nature journal and the puzzle a day which will give her two things to kind of work on while I start reading everything. I will more than likely start with Trivia because she loves Trivia and make that super quick. And then I will go through the daily stuff. So a word a day on this day in history, a question for the day and a poem for the day. Once I have gone through that, I will start the other things. I will also go ahead and say in case you're gonna ask this question because I've already thought of it. When we come back to school on a Monday, I am not going to spend Monday redoing the weekend. So for example, if this says June 29th and the 30th and the 31st were on the weekend and we come back Monday, I'm not gonna do the 30th, the 31st and the first. I'm just going to do whatever day we're on. If we miss it for whatever reason, we were on a trip, we weren't here, it was the weekend, we didn't do school that day, whatever, we just won't do that.  We'll just move on to whatever the actual date is and if the stuff does stay in our morning basket for all of middle school, which would be six years, we will eventually hit those things again. So that is my plan for the daily stuff in case you're curious.  And I would like to finish our morning time out with our success skills is what I'm thinking because this is the one I really wanna make sure that we have the time to discuss, especially because some of the mindfulness are actual exercises for us to do. And then if we have current events, we'll do current events at the end because I'm thinking it may involve a screen and then we would probably play a quick game. And I like to add games because I can use a game to get us back to the table. We typically do our morning basket in the living room, on the couch or in the bed, in my bedroom. And so a game is a really great easy incentive for Emily to say, okay, let's go sit at the table and play spot it. And then we're at the table for whatever afternoon activities and or lessons we need to do. So it's kind of like that sweet spot for me to make sure I'm filling her bucket one last time, to lure her to the table and to kind of close out our basket time, morning time, whatever, with something that she loves. Now, I would absolutely love it if you would tell me as well, do you do some sort of meeting in your homeschool? A morning basket, a bedtime basket, a meeting time, something along those lines. If you do, when do you do it? What is included in it and what do you call it?


Hi everybody. My name is Maria and I come from Serbia, a small country on the Balkan Peninsula. I have already acquired a graduate degree in English from the University of Novi Sad. So the main reason for taking this course and forgetting myself, that was certified was to increase my job opportunities. So let me just say something about the course itself. The course wasn't difficult. It was very well organized and concise and the parts I like the most were the teaching tips. So basically throughout the course you are provided with the theory and real useful tips how to incorporate that theory into practice. I would recommend this course to all of you who are like me, recently qualified teachers, lacking in experience to gain some more knowledge and to become more confident during teaching. So that's about it.
