The 6th episode of BlizzCast was posted today, and though it contains very little WoW-specific information, the podcast still contains a ton of information general Blizzard fans would like to hear. When listening to it, keep in mind that it wasn't recorded in the last few days or anything like that, it's a few weeks old at least. They mention Wrath of the Lich King still being in beta testing and Sylvanas' custom model hadn't yet been implemented, for example.Their guests this time around are Lead Tools Programmer Monte Krol, Senior Art Director Samwise Didier, Lead Game Designer Dustin Browder, and senior artist for Diablo III Anthony Rivero. That lineup of guests really offers up a cool look at the early design and development of Blizzard games, and the guests actually offer a little insight into just how you can start working for Blizzard yourselves. They also have another installment of their Q&A portion with various developers.
Starcraft and Diablo fans will find the gameplay information in this BlizzCast more interesting than people who are exclusively WoW players. As always, BlizzCast is available for download through the official website (EU has it as well), iTunes, or you can read the transcript right on their website.

I would gladly trade my soul for a working copy of WoW Edit. Hell, even a well recorded video of it's use.

As a 3D artist working in a related field to Blizzard, I absolutely love that they share so much information about what it's like to actually work at Blizzard.
This last episode had so much of that in fact, that I actually wondered if non-game industry working blizzard fans find these topics to be boring. Any one care to chime in on that?

Dang you blizzcast! Get back to talking about WoW! I mean I dig you're other franchises but WoW is the only one we can actually PLAY right now.

If you know a thing or two about game design and are considering working at Blizzard in the far/near future, it was QUITE informative about woW.
