Greetings listeners of the Instance. Welcome back to the Instance. I'm Scott Johnson and I am fresh off of an airplane.

I just flew here from Anaheim, California. We just finished at BlizzCon. It was one hell of a BlizzCon as you probably noticed at home.

Many of you watched our live panel that we did for the community track on Saturday.

If you didn't see that and you have the virtual ticket, it's still up there in archive form. Just click on the Community tab over there on the virtual ticket page.

But for those who don't have that, I know that a bunch of you don't. I was able to record it and share it with you here.

So this is audio from that event. And don't worry not missing out on too much. It's, you know, for people sitting in chairs or in stools in front of an audience.

The content is what matters. We had Chris Robinson with us. It was utterly fantastic. You'll hear that for yourselves here shortly.

But anyway, I wanted to make sure to get this to you guys as soon as possible. So please enjoy this. We'll be back Friday, regular schedule time with a brand new episode where we really break down what we saw at BlizzCon 2017.

But this should definitely tide you over till then. Thank you. Everyone who came out to see us.

And everybody who watched at home and everyone who listens now, it means a lot. We'll see you on the other side.

Wow. Thank you guys for that introduction. I assume we've got a few instance fans in the audience today.

Scott is really nervous. So if you could laugh at everything he said. I make sure to do that. Well, we are absolutely thrilled to be here. We're so grateful that Blizzard asked us to do this and to come be a part of this opportunity.

And I should waste no time introducing who's up here. I'm Scott Johnson. The host of the instance. We are now 12 years into that show. Thank you.

And I have some of us up here with us. Some of us couldn't be here. So a quick shout out to the following people who are not on that stage, but probably should be.

Terpster who's in England. Bill's who's back home in Texas. Randy Jordan who's working the floor over there someplace.

Andrew Kinyetski, all those guys you deserve to be up here with us. But instead let me introduce you with us today. So again, I'm Scott sitting right here.

It's my good friend. He is his scarves Patrick from France. My co-host.

Give him a big welcome.

Next to him, we have a pinch hitter who I could not have been happier to have say yes to this opportunity.

You guys know the CTR Guild. You know the CTR party. You know the CTR community. In fact, many of us are part of that same community. Welcome Pat Crane to the stage.

And finally, I'm very excited about this. Blizzard has made it possible for us to have someone here I've been geeking out about all weekend.

Welcome to the show Art Director for World of Warcraft. Chris Robinson.
