WoW or Gold Brainstormz

About WoW or Gold Brainstormz

Description January 2025: 2025 = 9 = Completion. Everything is the exact same, but yet very very different. The podcast will change as I change. Things are about to go deep. Really deep. All pieces of the puzzle have finally come together. It's time to take my Twin Flame Journey completion and my Galactic Mission into all parts of my life. I never ever left this space. Life just required me to focus elsewhere. Thanks for listening for all these years. Rest in peace to those that used to listen. Rest in peace, Byron "Reckful" Bernstein. I Love you all. I really do. /Grayz Description 2022: IF I record any new episodes I will dive into topics that go way beyond gaming, but always having gamers in mind since it's a very diverse crowd with people in all walks of life. Which means that most gamers won't be exposed to anything near the kind of perspectives I would choose to dive into. Especially since I do it because I love it and not for money or fame With love, Grayz Description prior to 2022: The WoW or Gold Brainstormz podcast is based on a hardcore mindset that stems from being into multiple competitive hobbies for 2 decades as well having some very interesting experiences through gaming. Since becoming a father of 3 my blocks of time to play have been decreased, but my mentality has hardened. It's a walk n talk podcast recorded when I have a moment. I discuss WoW and whatever else comes to mind. There is no schedule for the show. I release episodes when I have things to talk about or when I get really fed up with things. Discontent is a great motivator.

   WoG Brainstormz # 55 - The War Within Pre Patch (Off Season) - Rather PLAY Than Podcast

   Notice! Do NOT expect more than 1 - 4 episodes per expansion at MOST lol. I don't even listen to my own audios as much anymore due to the shift to video and gameplay footage combined which is me "living the dream!" to be honest. I have a lot more alone time now than before which makes game footage with commentary the natural choice for me when wanting to learn, discuss and analyse WoW efficiently. Motivation to record audio compared to playing and recording gameplay is 0. I wish I had the motivation but I'm just not a "content creator". I'm Grayz doing what Grayz does - Constantly learning and moving on to new challenges. I can't promise anything on the podcast side because either I'm way too busy with real life or way too addicted to just playing WoW within a limited time period haha. Key topics Rated Blitz testing released with pre patch MMR, climbing and what I expect in Season 1 and onwards Studying League of Legends Ranked Solo Q peak mindsets Using macro strategies and understanding of the game compared to micro (mechanics, class, teamfights etc) and building a climbing system through the law of averages, staying calm etc WoW players not being able to deal with Blitz mentally.  Can't watch most for that reason Warbanks and many other things NOT working at all 6 days into the pre patch. No word from Blizzard. Marketing goes on as usual Seriously considering PVP over making gold. NA gameplay, EU gold, IF I make gold anywhere Pivoting to recording instead of streaming for overaddictive reasons. I n1eed to caaaalm down with WoW Watch my Twitch vods on Youtube for the full Grayz experience. Streamed 24h in 5 days at one point last week. I completely lost it haha. Take care out there I Love You! WoW character info NA https://check-pvp.fr/us/Sargeras/Globalled  Main. Blitzer. My alts are shown lower on the same page Bloodbound.

Spontaenous come up Rogue (was a dead alt since ding 70 Dragonflight Season 2) for PVP exclusively. I suddenly felt an urge to keep the guild tag alive on EU. Gear is behind so I'm playing on mains to limit test. I discuss the Silvermoon Rogue in Battleground Blitz # 7 on Youtube. Shout to Washed up glads! https://check-pvp.fr/eu/Silvermoon/Globalled Grayz Content https://www.youtube.com/grayzbdf Where my stuff pops up most consistently since I'm publishing vods again the more I play Rated Blitz. https://www.twitch.tv/Grayzbdf I stream when I have energy + the energy to still function on a Sub Rogue. I actually hit a soft cap energy wise. Weird af but there were real in-game/Twitch reasons haha. Youtube descriptions in the videos uploaded 27 - 29/7 break this down the best. https://truthsocial.com/grayzbdf Replaces Twitter for me although I doubt anyone else uses it for gaming haha. But when have I ever stopped doing something because I'm alone doing it? I type things whenever I feel like it in whichever quantity I want to https://twitter.com/grayzbdf I really dislike X.

   WoG Brainstormz # 54 - Dragonflight Season 4 Begins - I Always Ramp Up Gameplay Before New Expansions

   Notice. This was recorded before the season began except for the end, but I don't get into WoW there. Hahaha yes! He's baaaack. Been a while. More Sub Rogues, more PVP, more learning, more of everything. Especially since The War Within was announced with it's features. Ie Warbands and ranked Solo Queue RBG's! With the addition of Solo Queue RBG's coming it means that I've decided to go hard with practice to maximize my chances of success once the expansion launches. They've also added Rank 1 titles. I won't be going for that the first seasons but I'll make sure to improve constantly. The biggest "shocker" in practice this time around is that I'm continuing with practicing the loathed topic of Damage hahah. Because that is my biggest achilles heel. It's what I find the hardest on a class like Rogue where all I want to do is strategical and tactical plays. A Fire Mage is different. There I can go ham with both sides. Hunter is the same. Druid as well (not really, it makes me less dps interested as well haha). Funny thing though. Before the break I was already focusing on things tied to damage and I had already decided to practice damage. It's just that I forgot since when I switch project focus I drop whatever I leave and go all in on the new/current project. In this case it's been work an family Key topics The War Within expansion announced, will change the game even more than Dragonflight which I still view as the single most fun expansion to date by far. Expansions being announced + getting near the last season always makes me play a lot more, even when busy. This has been my pattern since The Burning Crusade was leading into Wrath of the Lich King. Expansions make me play more, even when super busy. All focus on chill Battleground Blitz Brawl practice and fun. No more RBG tryharding nor getting affected by other peoples drama and garbage attitudes. Looking back as my journey with World of Warcraft has been evolving a lot over nearly two decades Deciding whether to gear up mains or alts when gearing will be the easiest it's ever been for casual/midcore players. The hardcore always get hit with rng sadly Thinking about how to get tier sets. Not been updated on acquisition since I had a 6 month ish break. I'll need to consider different ways to obtain tier sets and which bonus they add The Auction house will be interesting in The War Within with the introduction of Warbands and truly region wide gold opportunities for your account. My dead realms will become useful and I'll be able to delete a lot of old toons The combination of Blitz and the Great Vault in Season 4 is an amazing change. Season 4 begins. I'll play a lot in both NA and EU. With the Great Vault it means EU become a lot more important to be active in as well. Finally Gold making plans using Blitz and PVP This episode was recorded during Dragonflight Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience. Actually streamed yesterday. Whaaaat?!? Nvidia GeForce Experience makes it so much faster to just go with less hassle than OBS and they'll be even more cracked out now than ever haha Take care out there I Love You!

Not often at the moment sadly but it will happen because I rest more so that I can increase the chances.  I upload to Youtube more often right now. Funny switcheroo right there. Especially since vods last 7 days instead of 14. https://truthsocial.com/grayzbdf Replaces Twitter for me although I doubt anyone else uses it for gaming haha.

   WoG Love Letterz # 4 - Playing My Positions Like Superstars Do

   The backlog of recordings keeps growing. Life is very busy and I'm prioritizing other things than gaming and podcasting I'm grateful that I was able to help chip in @ Skylander when he wanted a gaming rig a couple of years back. The reason I mention that is because of this; Lil' Grayz will have his laptop coming in next week. That will be a huge day for Lil' Grayz! I discuss my new position at work (1 month has passed), things I've done and learned. Skills I've learned in the past that help me in the present. I mention the importance of accountability, adaptability, integrity, being respectful, leadership skills, being a teamplayer, listening intently, being sincere, handling complaints and more Honorable mention to Atmosphere in 2023: Atmosphere (the hip hop band) are finally getting closer to being back to their old levels It's been about two decades since I enjoyed their albums a LOT! I'm not there yet but I have been bumping the Bigger Pictures (Youtube link) song nonstop lately! Not had that happen for soooo many years with Atmosphere although they release albums very regularly. Slug's voice is unique so distorted sound efx is NOT my cup of tea + Slug's choices @ beats that blew as well. I digress On that Atmosphere note, Slug's journey is very similar to mine with my different projects. This podcast project actually highlights that more than anything else since it's the longest running project that is out there and official to the public Those that get the comparison get it get it, those that don't don't. And it's fine. What's important is that I do and understand why that is. Long story short; Our creations mirror our lives and the way we view and do things as the decades roll by in life. What a beautiful and yet crazy journey! Lastly, no other musicians have affected me the way Atmosphere have. But I also experience music entirely different from most people which it's why it is so important to my being. Even if it can be years without me listening to anything depending on which flow my life is in and where my focus is at Check out these Interviews with Slug and Ant respectively. Both videos are two-parters Slug pt 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpQ2mWARQ9s Slug pt 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga4-Fi3FVlE&t Ant pt 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQNd7mVxGeU Ant pt 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN8gdzW38uU&t This episode was recorded during Dragonflight Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience Thanks for listening and take care out there I Love You!

I make some stuff public here and there https://www.twitch.tv/Grayzbdf I stream randomly depending on life and energy. I prefer using my mic but sometimes I just hit a playlist and go silent. More probable to happen if I PVP where the action is the action and I don't feel a need to speak. If Levelling using my mic feels mandatory cause of how I function as a learner and entertainer. I have 10 years of hardcore acting experience on stage (within Theatre) https://kick.com/grayzbdf I’m inactive there but I created an account
