Many guilds have stopped raiding and season eight has ended.  A lot of us are in a sort of doldrums.  What can listless hunters do in these times?  There are the standard options: run battlegrounds, join pugs, farm achievements, play alts, dominate the auction house.  Here, though, I offer some suggestions that are hopefully less obvious.

This episode, Frostheim joins Euripides and Darkbrew on location at Blizzcon in sunny California! He somehow managed to arrange for some quality time with Ghostcrawler, and brings us the report about some of the things they chatted about.
