Hearthstone’s newest card set, Restoration of Azeroth, tells the story of rebuilding areas ravaged by Deathwing’s shenanigans during the Cataclysm. The details of the between-expansion card drop are different this time, with four class sets replacing the traditional mini-set. Mages, Hunter, Druids, and Paladins are the lucky classes to get their sets first, and each...

The ladder reset date for Diablo 2: Resurrected Season 14 is Friday, May 22 at 5pm pacific (8pm eastern). The ladder season usually resets every three to four months, so after season 13 started in February, we anticipated a reset date for season 14 in May. Since we are in the thick of the Reign...

I am greatly enjoying my Warlock in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred. Not only is the class really fun to play, she’s very photogenic. I guess one thing you learn early on in Warlock School is that it’s not enough to constantly battle corruption while pursuing infinite demonic power; you have to look really cool while doing it.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we ride a demonic doggo into battle while dragging our enemies in fire chains behind us, and then we incinerate them. Feels good, man.

We’re speculating on WoW patch 12.0.7 and beyond, now that the preview for said patch has been released. That leads us to a certain ominous island off the coast of Zul’Aman that we’re not allowed to touch yet, plus all the other little details that lead us to guest host Phil Ulrich’s favorite thing ever:...

One of the longstanding traditions in the Diablo franchise has been the Secret Cow Level — or, to use its proper name in Diablo 2, the Moo Moo Farm. The idea of a cow level originated with the very first Diablo game, where a rumor spread that if you clicked on a cow enough times, you’d...

World of Warcraft introduced Player Housing to the community as part of the lead-up to the Midnight expansion, and Blizzard is taking that commitment seriously. To honor this next chapter for the title, Blizzard “wanted to do what we can to support those who need more than pixels when it comes to having a place...

In Diablo 4’s latest expansion, my Necromancer has more pets than ever. I can have up up to 27 necromantic minions, and though I don’t yet have the gear to have quite that many at once right now, I did equip a new Runeword that is helping to fill the loneliness in my heart by summoning ghost wolves, based on the number of other minions I have up. Though the ghost wolves only last for seven seconds, they’re constantly being resummoned, and so I am surrounded by a veritable army of the goodest ghostly boys at all times. Truly a miracle of dark magic.

Sure, I can’t find myself on screen in the chaos, but it’s worth it.

If you’re new around here and don’t understand, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column, and today we’re talking about lot about Diablo and little about kaiju. It’s a perfectly ordinary day, so let’s get to the questions.

This week the two games the Epic Games Store is giving away for free are both kind of casual cozy little adventures — but that’s where the similarities between these two games end. Oh, they’re both single player, too. Arranger Release Date: July 25, 2024 Game Type: puzzle, adventure POV: 3rd person, top-down Party: Single...

We’ve got the details for what’s coming next in Midnight with patch 12.0.7, and that means it’s time to speculate on where we’ll be adventuring for the first major content update of the expansion: patch 12.1. Will it be what everyone is expecting, or will there be a surprise detour to a completely out-of-left-field spot?...

Day 8 — So far I still have no idea how I got to this ‘Sanctuary’ place. It is perhaps the worst name for a place I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve been to a world named Draenor after the people who crash landed on it instead of the people native to it.

No one I’ve spoken to can point me to any portals that lead anywhere except to ‘Hell’ which is not helpful. Significant demonic problem — most people here seem terrified of or resigned to the things so I’ve taken on the task to cleaning them out.

On the upside, I can finally dye my armor.

This week’s Hearthstone Brawl is a rerun from years ago, but it’s a fun one… so long as your opponent understands what they’re doing. That’s right, this week’s Nefarian Rises! Tavern Brawl is a cooperative encounter, and If your opponent doesn’t understand what they’re doing, well, you’re probably going to lose. Fortunately, because it’s a...

A lot of our travels as Lorewalkers seem to revolve around what events are happening in World of Warcraft, and Childrens’ Week is no exception. As we cart these vulnerable children around to various areas of incredible peril, it re-showed us several spots around Azeroth that made us say, “oh yeah, what was up with...

Midnight’s patch 12.0.5 offers a wide variety of new things to try, including a hide-and-seek mini-game tied into Player Housing. So how much have you dipped your toe into Decor Duel, and how are you enjoying it so far? I’m not sure what I was expecting when I first queued up to conceal myself as...

Hearthstone has changed things up for the Year of the Scarab: gone are the mini-sets for each expansion, and to replace them we’re getting twelve class sets, released four at a time. The current expansion, Cataclysm gets a theme for this first batch of class sets: Restoration of Azeroth will add sets for Druid, Hunter, Paladin,...

We’re running down to the end of the school year, which means we’re also spinning up all our summer activities and signups and schedules at the same time. So you’ll forgive me, but I gotta make this one quick.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and I hope they’re not too complex because I’m also filling out a form at the same time and I’m about to accidentally put my phone number in one of these.

It’s another quick maintenance for World of Warcraft, with only an hour of downtime scheduled for all WoW servers. Last week I had doubts the short maintenance schedule would hold, but instead the servers came up early, so this week I’m going to have a little more faith. Unfortunately, this week’s maintenance has been extended...

World of Warcraft patch 12.0.5 brought a number of undocumented changes — some intentional, some not. One of the intentional changes was the removal of a significant number of the remaining items that had lighting effects from the list of Decor that could be placed externally. While this caused a lot of dismay in the...

The snow just disappeared here. It wasn’t a particularly rough winter, but it was long, and the snow kept coming back, so now that it’s properly gone, wanna go sledding?

We saw Sledding Game randomly scrolling in the Xbox app, and it’s a cute little friend game with terrible physics and minigames. It’s not deeper than watching a pudgy little frog with a funny hat drink hot chocolate on a ski lift, but that’s the charm.

So while I go down the mountain again, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Though we haven’t come down from our Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred high, Blizzard has continued to bombard us with new announcements. It’s been doing a great job of keeping us on our toes, but really I just want some downtime to level a Paladin, and I’m kind of hoping Blizzard could stop and take...

Decor Duel is a quirky PVP mode added to World of Warcraft Midnight in patch 12.0.5, and it’s basically just hide and seek, but magic. If you’ve played any of a number of Prop Hunt modes in a wide variety of games (including an official Prop Hunt mode that shows up periodically in Overwatch), it’s...
