WoW: Forever begins now — or a couple days ago? Time is immaterial to this podcast. But as it releases, the cohosts (and this week’s guest host Cory) take a moment to chat about the new/old game.

The newest Hearthstone expansion, Reign of the Black Empire, is a bit of a throwback — a few hundred thousand years, give or take, to when the Old Gods and Titans clashed on primordial Azeroth. Along with all of the new mechanics, familiar faces, and abundant tentacles can be found the usual array of stunning …

Some of our favorite games are old and getting older now, while still staying fairly playable. Games ranging from Skyrim to Stardew Valley have enjoyed a long lifespan, in part because of the fans creating and maintaining mods. While some of them are the sort of quality-of-life mods WoW fans are familiar with, some add entire swaths of …
