It’s just around the corner!

Have you eaten your first box of candy and needed to buy the “Shameful Second” box? The “Is What It Is third box?” The “Accepting You Have a Problem and Doing Nothing to Change It” fourth box?

I certainly don’t know what you’re talking about, and I resent your accusatory stares right now.

While I try and find a spot to dispose of a small mountain of wrappers, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

While there were plenty of happenings last week — with a new Hearthstone expansion and a new phase for The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary realms — I think all eyes are on World of Warcraft: Forever, which launches next week, and it’s a little hard to get excited about anything else. But for now, let’s...

I’m going on a vacation trip soon and I hope I get isekai’d into some videogame world. Some of those locations you see in games look so realistic that one might think they could actually exist in real life!

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where sometimes we wonder what it would be like to visit Azeroth, or Hyrule, or Planet Zebes, and then we decide to play some Assassin’s Creed. (I wish Florence was real.)

Hallow’s End has begun in World of Warcraft, and with it comes all our old haunts, plus a ton of content for our Player Housing neighborhoods. After all, the best part of the holiday is trick or treating door to door!  These quests take you to far-flung creepy corners of Azeroth, and somehow, Nomi is...

It’s a sad day in video games, as we mourn the loss of BioWare, which is so crushing there are barely words for it.

That doesn’t mean I’m not going to write words about it, but none of those words encompasses the scope of what we’ve lost.

But let’s get down to business. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your questions and sometimes write lengthly soliloquies to my favorite games.

Every week the Epic Games Store gives away a game or two for free. This week, we’re rounding the corner on Halloween with two horror titles, with very different art direction and playstyles. Sker Ritual Release Date: April 18, 2024 Game Type: FPS, zombies, horror POV: 1st person Party: Single Player, co-op DLC: There are...

We continue to inch closer to the November 4 release date of World of Warcraft: Forever, and I want to be as prepared as possible to jump right into this unique slice of Azeroth and hit the ground running. There’s a lot on my to-do list, but perhaps the highest priority question is: what will...

The Reign of the Black Empire expansion has just been released for Hearthstone, and as is tradition, the Recipe Tavern Brawl is here on the first week, to let players get a taste of the new cards and mechanics for each class. This brawl pits deck recipe against deck recipe, so just pick a class and...

Okay, so if anyone else had Fallout 4 getting a new story DLC featuring original Nora and Nate actors Courtenay Taylor and Brian T. Delaney reprising their roles created by modding legends Kinggath Creations (I loved At Hell’s Gate, btw) and available on practically every platform the game is on… well, that makes one of us. Sure, this week (tomorrow!) will be Fallout day and we did see a teaser for this last year, but I still didn’t see a fully voiced with all new dialogue DLC with the original Nora and Nate actors just dropping like this.

Immediately after experiencing the story for World of Warcraft patch 12.1.5, Liz started yelling in work chat that she wanted to be on Lore Watch so she could yell about it there. So, as you may imagine, there are very heavy spoilers in this podcast for the campaign and raid in patch 12.1.5 — though...

As expected from their recent teasers on social media, the new Hearthstone expansion will take us back to cosmos-spanning adventures: Reign of the Black Empire brings the Old Gods back to Hearthstone — again — but this time, things seem more serious. We’re going back in time, seeing how the Titans were battling the Old...

There is the lightest chill on the wind that rustles the slowly crisping leaves left at the tips of the branches of the trees this morning. Sure, it’s noon and it’s like, 75 degrees out now, but you know what this means.

It is officially Soup Season. Congratulations and best wishes to all who celebrate.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and honestly we’re just trying to decide between butternut squash with sage or minestrone. Maybe a tortilla-style with the last of the fresh corn and some cubed sweet potato for body? Hmm.

It’s a long maintenance day in World of Warcraft no matter what you play. Midnight servers will be offline for a full eight hours (again), while WoW Classic servers will be offline for four hours. That’s a pretty lengthy maintenance for a week in which very little is happening (but more on that in a...

We’re less than a month from the launch of World of Warcraft: Forever, and the beta test has been in full swing. However, there’s one feature in WoW: Forever that’s brand new to this version, which is realmless servers: essentially, all players within a single region who share a ruleset (so all the PVP players, all...

It’s my birthday! Today, this very day!

Of course, if you want to have a week-long celebration to properly observe it, I won’t stop you. Just make sure you watch lots of spooky things and tell someone a joke. Jokes and spooky things sum me up pretty well now that I think of it. Here’s a couple just for you, guaranteed groaners.

How do you know when a skeleton is sick? It runs a high femur!

Why do ghosts like to ride in elevators? It really raises their spirits!

While I think of some more wonderful spooky puns, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

World of Warcraft patch 12.1.5 has been live for just under a week, so of course it’s already time to talk about patch 12.1.7, which Blizzard revealed last week. Though we knew many of the upcoming features from BlizzCon and the WoW roadmap, we have a clearer picture of the patch now — and we’re...

The Black Empire is coming. Again. There’s an enormous multi-tentacled creature blotting out the sun, and he comes to bring you love. Or death, I dunno.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where the only question that truly matters is: who is the best Old God?

This week is patch 12.1.5 in World of Warcraft, which isn’t a big patch but it has some story content we aren’t happy about and Labyrinths that we are happy about. Plus huge improvements to crafting decor (you don’t need nearly as much lumber now), store transmog sets with hair under hats, the strange state...

World of Warcraft: Forever has thoroughly embraced the “some changes” ethos, and First Aid has gotten some big improvements. All Forever professions have been updated with new recipes and features to help along your adventures, but First Aid has gotten a particular glow up with the addition of healing potions for quick and easy healing....

It’s already time to talk about World of Warcraft patch 12.1.7: Echoes of the Worldcore. Blizzard has wasted no time in propelling Midnight along to its inevitable conclusion by announcing patch 12.1.7 (some of which we already knew about from BlizzCon), a light-weight patch that adds new story quests, the Talebound gameplay mode, more Lorewalking...
