Michael Coorlim Just discovered your podcast recently, and added it to my standard podcast rotation. Interesting to hear about Michael J Sullivan's kickstarter. Are these campaigns effective for authors? I'm about to release the fifth in a series, and I was thinking about doing a low-goal kickstarter to fund the cover's commission.

#100 - The Angry Chicken [Prime]: “May the Chicken be with You”

Patrons,


Our 100th episode is here! The support since we launched the Patreon has been incredible. We have been able to put so much more time into TAC than when we started and it's all because of you! The three of us have big changes coming to our lives this year and this helps immensely. So to our now 500+ bosses, thank you for giving value in return and for being the most die hard cluckers around.


Don't forget to post in the comments below for a chance to win the TAC mug and bottle opener. They're mighty pretty. Apparently I can't post a picture within the body of a post that already has a video linked so check them out on my twitter. Good luck!



The Usual Blurb

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Angry Chicken! To celebrate this milestone Team 5's own Ben Brode joins the show to talk about The Grand Tournament's release and development, and also to pal around for the entire episode! The TAC crew were also joined by returning guests Karma and Frodan. It's a packed show and ends with many calls from you fine listeners.


Thank you all for your support of the show. It has been an insane ride so far for the three of us. We're looking forward to many more shows, and many more celebrations of all things Hearthstone.


You can email the show at [email protected] Follow us on http://Twitch.tv/amovetv for the live shows.

Kris Van Pelt Garrett, you ended up naming me as a new Patron at the end of this show (which was awesome since you called me Kris VP instead of Kris P this time (Just think Van Gogh or Van Damme!)) but, I only modified my Patreon pledge since it was changed from 'per month' to 'per episode'. As much as I would love to, I'd love to do $5 an episode, but being charged $20 a month is not something I can afford while also supporting other Patreon pledges. I really, really wish I could because you guys are, and will continue to be, amazing. I've been supporting TAC since Dec 2014, so I'm really sorry that I showed up as a new Patron. That can't be helpful for your records. I'm not seeing my pledge for August on here, which is weird, and not helpful for mine. I just wanted to let you guys know in case this became an issue for anyone else. Plus, Patreon is giving me the impression that I recently only pledged for episode 99 (this may be where my August pledge went to; I also had to cap my monthly pledge), so if my pledge doesn't happen next month, I'll be upset, but I'll be right on top of it to make sure it continues to be automatically pledged each month like it has been before. Luv and Hugs and Congratulatory Dr. Boom shots (100 of 'em, of course!), ~Lunessence

Kris Van Pelt I've caught Kripp on stream a couple of times, the second time he was eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast during his stream, not saying much for the next hour, and Chat couldn't stop talking about that damn bowl of cereal. I honestly had no idea how well-spoken Kripp is. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and I feel like I learned quite a few new things. Again, TAC, you delivered the goods! Thank you, Kripp, for agreeing to converse with the angriest of chickens and their flock of slightly perturbed chicklings! Please, DO come on again during the next expansion, if not sooner. :D

Topher "Kumdobeast" Lee Noooo!! I needed Jocelyn on this episode to talk about last week's Tavern Brawl!! Which just happened to be my favorite Brawl thus far. "It's Raining Mana" at first glance seemed like a not so creative Tavern Brawl but as I started creating my deck, I began to think about the intricacies of the rules for this Brawl especially how to opitimize the mana costs of my cards and building around the accelerated mana curve. I would imagine that a lot of newer players who are trying this brawl got a great opportunity to learn the importance of trying to curve out your mana and to consider that when creating a normal custom deck. Personally, I think the reason why I absolutely LOVED this brawl was because of the deck that I built. I love gimmicky, silly, decks and one of my favorite decks to play casually is a ramp druid running 2 Alarm-O-Bots (my absolute favorite card). It's a terrible a deck but when you can Innervate on turn one and bust an Alarm-O-Bot to get a Ragnaros on turn two... it feels sooo good!! Well for this brawl I ran a hyper ramp druid deck with 2 Innervates, 2 Wild growths, 1 Gadgetzan Jouster, 2 Alarm-o-Bots and 23 6+ mana cost minions, most of them being legendaries! While I side with Garrett and Dills about Tavern Brawl and play just enough to win my pack each week, this week was the first week where I played multiple games just because I couldn't get enough of the hyper ramp druid that I had built and I hope that they Blizzard continues to come out with fun and cool ideas for Tavern Brawl. Btw, I believe i ended up with and 15-2 record with that deck. Absolutely love the show! Congrats on the HUGE milestone of 100 episodes. I started listening to you guys around episode 185ish and I'm doing exactly what Dills had mentioned in the previous episodes of binging on the previous episodes, which btw is really interesting and fun with this particular podcast because of the nature of this game, in which new or cool ideas become a reality. I believe, Dills mentions in the very FIRST episode about how it would be cool to have a mechanic where hero powers change. Cue Justicar Trueheart almost two years later. Actually, that would be really neat; to go back through the older episodes and see if predictions were correct or if crazy ideas at the time has become a reality currently. Keep up the amazing work! I can't get enough of TAC! So much so that I even became a Patreon just to make sure you guys stick around for a LONG LONG time! Thanks guys!! -Kumdobeast

You may have heard about my hard drive woes. Well today I had to format my entire computer and the VOD for episode 103 was one of the victims sadly. I was able to transfer the video directly from Twitch, but for some reason Twitch cut the intro of from the main episode. The intro in video version can be seen here. The podcast version is fine and has been up since last night. Sorry for all this. Darn hardware and Twitch failures!
