I have every single file from episode one to current here locally and all sorts of backups and stuff. But the feed stuff's kind of all over the place. So on the site, you'll find an archive feed, but that's not all of them either. So what I did have was a link to an archive.org page where all the other episodes were.

That technically exists, but archive.org, as you know, got hacked and is all over the effing place right now. It's a mess. It really pisses me off. It's a horrible hack. Assuming that all resolves itself, then that will all be back there. But I am working on some other redundancies so that these early episodes can be available and hopefully –

Maybe I can parlay it into another RSS feed or something so you can get it more conveniently. I realize that's all kind of screwy, but trust me, 20 years of this, we're lucky there's a feed at all. Right. Like it's so jacked. And this is true of a lot of my shows. Film Sack has the same problem. It came out in 09, you know, again, very early in those days.

And so a lot of these things have that issue. But there are plenty of shows that I do now where we've got the entire thing. If I had started the instance five years ago. You wouldn't even be asking us this question.

And then that's actually a missed opportunity. What was I thinking? I know what I was thinking when Classic came out. I was pissed at Blizzard for all their internal bullshit and the harassment and everything else. And then the layoffs and then the pandemic and then more allegations and then those turning out to be true. And then all of that mess. I was so incensed by it.

And this is right about the time Classic is even starting.

Yeah, I was kind of at the point where I was like, I wasn't even sure what I wanted this show to be. It was a hard time. So what ended up happening is what needed to happen, which was kind of a death, some mourning, some rebirth, and a return. Being able to control that in a way that I get to kind of, I don't know, not start over, but keep what was great, but also enter a new phase.

I needed that for this to work at all. I'm saying this in retrospect because while I'm doing it, I'm not thinking that. I don't know. I didn't have a plan.

You were done. Yeah, I had no plan. I just knew that that needed to happen and that that space had to be created. And I needed a good couple plus years of... not having it. And I needed to see what Blizzard was doing during that. And that helped. And I'm not going to lie here. A huge part of this was Chris coming back to the company. That was a big part of it for me.

He and I are very close friends, but that's not just the reason. It's the spirit he brings to things that matters to me. And what it means that he came back. And what it means.
