After EIGHT YEARS, the Hatcast returns! I mean honestly, with such a wealth of quality hats, how could we do otherwise. Bizarrely, impossibly, it seems like Dota is back. Leave it to me to say that not because of a good patch or new hero, but because of cosmetics. Listen, you know what I'm like. Don't pretend to be surprised. Join the Bottle Crow D…

It's just... I mean, I guess 300 is a lot. It's a big number. But even SO I am surprised Giratina made the top 300. Is just every legendary in there? Probably, huh? Even though a lot of legendaries are just trash? Like, the Weather Trio from Unova: garbage. The stupid Lake Guardians from Diamond and Pearl? St... stupid. I already said that I guess.…

I'll try to get y'all the Riki Mahjong 2 rules for next episode. I doubt there's anyone chomping at the bit to get them, who really cares, but I have my pride to think of. Probably. That's what people say in these situations, isn't it? To be honest, I don't actually have my pride. But you probably knew that by now. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to c…

If you choose to walk away now, no one will blame you. There will always be more episodes. But if you stay here, and if you listen, you know what you're getting into. It's us listening to and talking over a bizarre Taco Bell press conference/event thing. You were warned. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to check out our live posted show notes as well a…

Honestly the rumored PSP3 is a bad idea because it'll be more like a Vita 2. And hey. The Vita was fine. I liked my Vita decently well. But the Vita's approach was to basically try to be a home to ports, mostly, and that territory is locked down by the Switch and the Steam Deck now. We don't need that! Now, the PSP had a lot of exclusives, which is…

It's time to Go back to basics. STOP MAKING CONTROL GROUPS. Years of triple nexus yet no REAL-WORLD use found for MACRO. Wanted to destroy a base? We had a tool for that: it was called ATTACK MOVE. "Yes please give me 4 pool so I can 8 morph" -Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged "Hello I would like to rush apple" They have played us for a…

In these "show notes", the podcaster, attempting to "tease" elements of the podcast, or to tell some self-indulgent "jokes", offers some out of context references to the recording itself, which, itself questionably funny, only becomes more question vis a vis this separation. Perhaps they think this attempt at comedy suffices to supplement their clu…

Looking into it, I've discovered that "chanmery" used to be called "champagne" but as ever, that region of France was like "no you freakin' don't" and they had to change the name. To be honest I wanna get more. That stuff was good! Anyway I'm going to work now, so these show notes kinda suck. It is what it is. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to check …

I THINk what we want is Star Wars Galaxies Restoration. Cuz I think it's like, we want the Combat Update but not the New Game Experience? I think that's the story. SWG Legends is more popular but it's post NGE, and like, I guess if that's what you want that's fine. But I'm here for a world where Jedi are rare, but dancers are not. Which I guess is …

THIS is more what I expected. Raging over computer parts, confused over the Compendium, and the most frustrating Fanfiction Corner yet. Come to think of it, are normal pieces of fiction just fanfiction of life? You don't have to be a fan of something to write fanfiction, I know that firsthand. Much to think about. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to ch…

This is, somehow, just a pretty normal podcast of two friends talking about hanging out together. I don't know how we managed it? Except that it wasn't on purpose, because if we'd tried to do it deliberately, we would have failed. Perhaps we should just call it Disney Magic. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to check out our live posted show notes as we…

If this show was actually popular I'd be fighting with people in DMs for months because of my Dragon Ball comments. LISTEN I KNOW THE "AWAKENED BY RAGE" THING IS REAL IT'S JUST NOT USEFUL IN THIS CONVERSATION. I do know Super Saiyan 2.5, I do know Legendary Super Saiyan and Legendary Super Saiyan 2. We were in the weeds enough that I decided to ski…

I'm telling you gang, the initial break on that candy bar? Coulda stopped a BULLET. After that we good but DANG. Anyway I gotta get back to Oblivion posting. I miss that goofy game.

This podcast has a Communication Score of under six thousand. Do NOT let Bottle Crow Reborn coach. You should also not let Bottle Crow drive, buy alcohol, or onto any rollercoasters. It's short.

SingSingSing might have to retire after this one. One of those good retirements where your job tells you you're retiring, and you're like "oh thanks but actually I-" and they cut you off like "CONGRATS ON YOUR RETIREMENT" while shoving a watch into your hands, and you out the door. But hey. At least there's pizza. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to ch…

The real reason six is afraid of seven is all these 7Up recipes. We have Dota thoughts, we have pork sandwich chips, we have a mid to reasonable level of confidence few people will listen to this ep for days because Zelda just came out. So, yknow... enjoy this, whenever you get to it. shame on that man for his lewd and also impossible ascii shrek J…

Aka Dota 3-3. Once again, Dota has undergone tectonic shifts- kinda literally this time, judging by the teaser. Also, like. In that video, the Ancients were destroyed?! Is this LITERALLY a new battle? Like, did we get a canon ending to Dota 2?! I dunno, this patch is whacky and my judgment is broken. But I reinstalled Dota, so. They got me. Join th…

I'm BACK! And I'm not taking Nick's garbage lack of prep lying down, I'm here to right the scales! I did forget to eat those Peeps though. That's on me. Look forward to next ep, when I'll forget again and not eat them again. Our special guest on this episode is listener Dilweed89, whom you can join the Bottle Crow Discord to check out our live post…

When the Six is away, the meat will play! Allen Ibrahim of the Chatz (COLON) Television Podcast and other Scanline Media products subs in for the absent Six to prove that not even having a guest co-host will make Nick prepare decently for his own show. What if I somehow was able to get Six to record an episode with me on a boat? Like, we set sail o…

I mean I didn't spend a TON of time on Google trying to figure this out (for understandable reasons) but it doesn't SEEM like our new favorite recipe site has a good explanation for its name. That Word seems like it's not like... a common word meaning something else in King's English. Then again it's probably slang? But it's slang HERE. And it's ba…

Death is coming! Or, rather, Death's right hand gal. We're finally given a new hero in this smaller-than-expected patch, with a focus on Turbo Mode and smaller balance changes addressing concerns from the recent Lima Major. This is the Turbo Mode episode- the regular episode is the same content. It's like Pokemon Red and Blue- a LITTLE different bu…

Is it "Azwraith" like "Azure Wraith" because he's got blue skin? Though the "wraith" part is the confusing one. He's not dead. Though apparently a wraith, definitionally, can imply a ghostlike image you see shortly BEFORE your death. So it's like, his doppelgangers are wraiths because they're gonna kill you then disappear? This is really stupid. Do…

Six has not only made had me edit this episode, but now make the actual RSS-thing post that disseminates this vile libel to the broader world. I guess after 6+ years it had to happen eventually. In this installment of Pod Cast we talk Boba, Red Bull, World of Warcraft, and spend a "generous" amount of time with our new best fanfiction friend DotA H…

Sometimes, you read something and you instantly realize the author is a cishet man, yknow? Obviously I don't know that for a fact, but a third of this week's chapter of Dota High School takes place in the girl's shower room, and it isn't the worst thing in the world? But our author absolutely fails to be normal about this. I suppose I should sympat…

i've already forgotten who the gym teacher is. c'est la vie. It's a Frostivus Special as we reflect on the year we've had. A little. Mostly we drink tea and scotch, are subjected to garbage tier trivia once more and finally, FINALLY, we go Back To School. Send in YOUR Mirana voice! Hard to imagine it's worse than mine! Happy New Year, perhaps minus…

THICK. THICK. THICK. THICK. It's time to be thankful, to be sincere, and to regret. Honesty casts a dark shadow, but not as dark as the late Alex Trebek, and his dry dismissals.

The past is a foreign country. But on this episode, we have a passport! ...I'm sorry. That sucked. That sucked! We spend most of this ep looking at Dotabuff. You can tell it's gonna be a riveting ep, hence why these notes are so clever. Whatever, enjoy the ep. I Can't Escape Anti-Mage from 2014. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to check out our live po…

This is basically a free episode of Battle Crow? This idea was too weird to not make free to all. Normally, Battle Crow is a podcast where we record whilst playing a game. This time, it's a podcast where we record as we try to get to a point where we're ABLE to play a game. Join the Bottle Crow Discord to check out our live posted show notes as wel…

Yes, as much as I'd like it to be otherwise, Nick managed to drag me kicking and screaming into a Patch Notes Special. Then before we published, the Battle Pass hit, so we had to record an addendum for that too! Maybe next episode will be good. There's always tomorrow.

The phrase "tone deaf" is so misleading. I can HEAR tone just fine. Look at how many things I edit! Not just podcasts, for bumpers I often end up editing music too! Also I used to play trumpet and I was pretty good. No, the issue is the reproduction. For whatever reason, I have great difficulty reproducing tone with my voice. Thus it takes a lot to…

I really loved his movie Goose Stew. This time the shoe is on the foot as NICK'S internet acts up, and we struggle to survive an ep with robot voice and other nonsense.

We recorded this one a few weeks back, but even with that excuse, the Bottle Crow fugue state is REAL. I thought for sure we didn't talk about Dota 2 on this one. Wrong. Not correct.
