After two weeks of eight-hour maintenance, I’m pleased to announce that all World of Warcraft servers will be offline for just an hour this morning. Enjoy today’s short maintenance, because soon we’ll be back in Azeroth. Here’s the WoW maintenance schedule for Tuesday, October 2…
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 r…
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 anyth…
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 i…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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 j…
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 platfo…
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…
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, se…
